Lest we forget

In my column today, I note that Trump's freakout over the anti-tariff Reagan ad let slip a basic fact: He's very worried the Supreme Court is going to declare his tariffs unconstitutional. It's in Canada's strategic interests to make that argument. #GiftLink www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

This is all that remains of now occupied Toretsk. Not a living soul. Just dead ruins. Russia destroys everything.

Everywhere I go, people are wearing Jays gear. People I know who have never watched baseball (me included) are staying up past midnight to for an 18th inning. The coffee shop has baseball donuts. And, I cannot emphasize this enough, I am in a city *3000 km from Toronto* Canada is behind this team

Doug Ford urges U.S. ambassador to ‘apologize’ for f-bombs aimed at Ontario diplomat

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

Thank you Will Bunch

LEAFS WIN!! JAYS WIN!! TORONTO WINS!!

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

And yet I still see some Americans not getting why Canadians are pissed off, why we are turning our backs on America when we are able, and why we are actively fostering relationships elsewhere. You collectively elected a POS and the world is reacting, starting next-door www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

"Canada was at war with Nazi Germany two years before us—and declared war on Imperial Japan the day of the attack on Pearl Harbor. On June 6, 1944, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division landed on Juno Beach in conjunction with U.S. and British forces."

After the Pentagon forced a mass exit of journalists who understood military finance, tactics and technology, their replacements have arrived: cranks, conspiracy theorists and both foreign and domestic propagandists www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

At a time of multiple international crises, the Pentagon’s official positions will be relayed by Timcast, The Epoch Times, LindellTV and the Gateway Pundit, which means that many people simply won’t believe Pentagon statements at all. Which might be the point www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Falsifying manifests and locations. Turning off identification systems. Conducting offshore ship-to-ship transfers. This is piracy in the modern era, and Russia is doing all of it to shield its shadow tanker fleet. Writer Wesley Wark investigates: thewalrus.ca/a-ghost-fleet-of...
