Pissing Match
It has been attributed to many famous people who never said it, including Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain. No matter its origins, there is a lot of truth to the idea that you should “Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton.” As a publicity-seeker, you […]
Lunatic Republic
Apparently Canada is not allowed to make an agreement with the European Union to have closer ties. Donald Trump will not permit it. trump says such a deal would be “laughable. But he doesn’t appear to be laughing. Such an agreement, he said, would be a “hostile act.” If it comes to pass, Trump says […]
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 […]
Now I Am Scared
“The only control or ‘guardrails’ that AI needs is a STRONG AND SMART (High IQ!) PRESIDENT, and the U.S.A. has that, in spades!” – U.S. President Donald J. Trump, writing on Truth Social. Somewhere an AI model is laughing, or doing whatever the machine equivalent is. Maybe they all are.

Of course, the law doesn’t always apply when it it the government offering the bribe. Canadians are used to new government programs, including some with […]

Canada needs new fighter jets. Our current fleet of CF-18 combat planes should have been replaced a couple of decades ago, but defence procurement is a political […]
Redrawing The Map
Donald Trump has renamed Lake Ontario as Lake America, as he previously tried with the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the world is laughing at him. The American president doesn’t have the authority or jurisdiction to unilaterally change the name of an international waterway. Americans may have to put up with his vagaries, but the […]
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 […]
Well Said
Frank Bruni in the New York Times, August 27, 2026: Trump strikes me not as an aberration who had the luck of flawed opponents, a feckless Democratic Party and a system in which the Electoral College rather than the popular vote decides presidential elections, which is, of course, how he won in 2016. He’s an […]
