Wow! Every single word is worth reading. A clear analysis and a call to action, for both 🇨🇦 & the world. This is Carney emerging as a world leader.

Carney's speech is brilliant. Here is a transcript. I suspect we will be feeling some serious pain in Canada shortly from the reaction

Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual

The flu is everywhere. So why aren’t Canadians getting vaccinated for viral illnesses?
Despite overwhelming research showing that flu vaccines keep people out of hospital, fewer Canadians are getting vaccinated. Trust isn’t the only factor keeping people from getting the jab.
