American Pornography
No one expects Donald Trump to be consistent, And no-one should be surprised as the USA descends into barbarism in its attempt to emulate the world’s worst human rights offenders. Those well known democracies, North Korea and Iran perform public executions of those convicted of crimes under their laws. Donald Trump has spoken out against […]
Scary AI
The CEO of American high tech firm Palantir thinks the US government should nationalize the artificial intelligence industry. His rationale is that the industry is about to be crippled by lawsuits and that being government controlled would somehow prevent that. It is true that every day seems to bring another news story about some company’s […]
Monday’s Smile
I borrowed this from a friend’s Facebook page. I found it amusing, though not accurate. It does though express the Canadian mood. There are 15 locks on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Together they allow commercial ships from the Atlantic Ocean to travel as far west as Thunder Bay. It is a much more efficient/cheaper way […]
Canadian Democracy
There are aspects of Canadian democracy that baffle outsiders. Independence referenda probably top the list. Twice residents of Quebec have been asked whether they want the province to become an independent country. Twice the voters have chosen to stay, through in 1995 it was a pretty narrow margin. Next month voters in Alberta will go […]
Not Really Funny
I was thinking of collecting the best humor online about the Canada-US trade war, the tariffs leveled by the USA ,and the Canadian retaliation. Problem was, I couldn’t find anything really funny to share. Still, there were a few images I found mildly amusing. I am sharing them today, trying to add some levity to […]
Twenty-five Years Later
I was walking along the beach in Maine last month when this thought came unbidden to my mind. “If the USA were attacked today like they were on September 11, 2001, would other countries come to their aid?” Twenty-five years ago today the US suffered the worst terrorists attack in its history. More than three […]
Food For Thought America
Kinda speaks for itself, doesn’t it?
Friday’s Questions
“We defend Canada for nothing. We don’t get anything. They don’t pay us to defend Canada, but we defend Canada andthey understand that.” – US President Donald Trump. It is an interesting perspective. As long as I have been alive, Canada and the United States have cooperated militarily, joining in various UN and NATO missions […]
Were You Wondering Too?
I saw this T-shirt in a store in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. As tempting as it was, I didn’t buy it. But it did get me thinking. Does it seem to you that the level of general intelligence has gone down in recent years? Have people allowed themselves to sink to the lowest common denominator? […]
Election Meddling
He’s done it again. Donald Trump has interfered in a foreign election. This time merely by existing. Quebec’s Parti Quebecois has announced that if they win this fall’s election they will not hold a referendum on Quebec separation as long as Donald Trump is president. Previously holding such a referendum had been the cornerstone of […]
