You raise a good point. Diplomacy has been upended by that administration & many of the old rules no longer hold. Finding balance on a tightrope that gets loosened, then pulled taut again requires being quick on your feet and aware of the very real threat that the person pulling the rope poses.

Is antisematism being confused with anti Israel policies?
There is also a lot of anti Americanism at present.
I worry about Harper &Associates and business ties to Israeli Gov't.
Racism, poverty and religion motivate hate against a group. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has a purpose.

Thinking about the P.M.'s dodging ploy.What if he inadvertently said something that the President could construe as a threat to US National Security, and use it against Canada?
Control of the Western Hemisphere is a stated goal.
Canadian sovereignty is at risk. Trump has nukes.

Nooooooooope.
Since 2019, we have had unrelenting procedural warfare in the House of Commons. Look at the paltry numbers of bills that have passed in that period. This notion that minority parliaments (not governments) breed cooperation is frankly grade school nonsense.

A sepia-toned studio portrait of Pauline Johnson in right-facing profile. She has long, wavy dark hair and wears a fringed garment decorated with small metal ornaments and fur trim. Around her neck is a necklace of curved, claw-like pieces. Her expression is neutral, and she is posed against a plain, light background with soft, even lighting. The image is tightly framed from the chest up.
On this day in 1861, Pauline Johnson was born at the Six Nations Reserve. She became one of Canada's most significant poets during her life and a Canadian literary icon.

A Mysterious Code Is Being Broadcast on Shortwave Radio. Is It Iran?
The regime is overmatched militarily, but still has tools for returning fire.
This is a) a very interesting read (a numbers station!) from and b) a good reminder that Iran likely still has plenty of asymmetric weapons (cyber, proxies, criminal surrogates) to deploy in the war.

Remember guys, you canβt afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
Thatβs why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

Two Atlantic Puffins in the ocean, actively taking off with wings spread wide, kicking up a chaotic splash as it runs on the water.
Hard work isn't always elegant! With wings built for swimming, Atlantic Puffins must awkwardly run across the waves flapping 400 times a minute to get airborne. Channeling this exact unglamorous, water-flailing, take-charge energy to conquer this Tuesday! π

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.
People who oppose impeachment as βpointlessβ because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

High prices + volatility encourage consumers to buy check out the competition. Especially in the Global South.
