Could it be that Xi and Modi don’t insult us, or use tariffs as weapons, or threaten to make us the 51st state?

PM Mark Carney πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ - "We have not received any request for such assistance [from Gulf states] ... We're not engaged in the conflict. We do not intend to engage. What we are doing is dealing with the consequences of the conflict … I don't necessarily anticipate those requests." #cdnpoli

Sadly, I don't believe the current American regime assigns value to either group. And that truly frightens me. Blood lust and the endless desire for power. People are pawns.

Regrettably, Mr. Coyne provides a strikingly uncritical review of piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s desperate and late-breaking attempt to be seen as β€˜statesmanlike’.
He might have queried such things as sincerity and authenticity.

My mind boggles at how political pundits are so easily manipulated into believing that leopards can change their spots. It's almost like they desperately want to believe it.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El NiΓ±o

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

My order of purchasing is buy Canadian where I can, buy non-U.S. where I can, and then, buy American if it supports Canadian jobs. If American is the only option and it's not something I need, I go without.

I don't want to know what this young whippersnapper would say about those of us in our 70s. But whatever it is, we can probably do one better.

A leopard doesn't change its spots - Lipstick on a pig - You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear - You can dress him up but you can't take him out ... I could go on. But the point is, there's no change. He is who he is. Some like. Others, such as I, don't.

This is such a minefield for our country. But we have obligations to our allies (the real ones) and if this "Shield of the Americas" we heard about today encroaches into our country's sovereignty building on threats we have already received, we will need to count on help from other nations.
