In a nuclear exchange, if the fire trucks are destroyed within urban population centers, there will be no staff or equipment to fight fires.

Malignant narcissists experience increased paranoia, denial, and rage as death nears. They often externalize these experiences through destruction and abuse of others in an effort to maintain a sense of control.
I suspect all of these wars are in part related to Trumpβs awareness of his mortality.

Trumpβs Iran War is not going to be ending anytime soon. And calling for a country to surrender unconditionally means it is unarguably a war that requires a declaration of war.

How Canada would survive without a U.S. trade deal
If the trade agreement is cancelled, Canada will survive, but it will be costly. And even then, the U.S. will very likely remain our largest trading partner.
This oped is asking the right question, and provides a solid analysis. Iβd add that the picture it paints of the consequences of continued uncertainty in Canada-US trade relations will hold even if the USMCA is renegotiated. Because the source of that uncertainty is structural.

Yeah, cool, so a short π§΅ about Halifax's finances.
Right now, after 14 or so year of taxes Halifax is at the precipice of a debt crisis which has the genuine potential to be destabilizing to our government. Most likely reforms instead of revolution but destabilizing none the less.
Why now?
