Hugh MacLennan's 'Two Solitudes" portrayed tension between 🍁 assimilation & Quebec's drive to retain its distinct language & culture. Today's version might describe a family in Alberta torn between actual liberty in daily life & fading fictions of the true north strong & free.

Yeah, about that war in Ukraine? I'll be checking in on Mearsheimer & Sachs looking for their "told you so" reactions to this story of covert ops stitching up a 'democracy' right beside Putin.

Like a long constipated Uncle Sam letting loose, this latest Epstein dump is stinky, messy & all over the place. Any sudden relief comes with the task of cleaning up (now pretty much a global task that risks spreading malarial memes--I'm stocking up on mental hygiene).

Something happen to make them change their minds? Clintons will now honour their subpoenas & testify about Epstein: youtu.be/hXV-NE7nyEw?si…

Canada still seeking greater ties with China? Still sending money to Ukraine? And China seeking greater ties with Russia? Wicked game. "Beijing’s huge support for Russian aggression against Ukraine part of larger threatening posture, air marshal tells Commons committee"

All things Epstein are like Where's Waldo, or finding Forrest Gump at the intersection of major forces in the world...like a drama on the highest stage.

Excellent. Here in Canada the 'Sultan' (given name, a not formal title) is under growing economic fire as CEO (for now) of a massive worldwide logistics firm, barely a day after having his Epstein connections exposed.

Massie sounds like someone courageous who desperately cares, but encounters stonewalling from every direction, constructed by systems of governance & probably with more than just American interests at play:

Epstein conspiracy special: Piers just about ready to believe anything, Ryan Grim lays out the Mossad angle, Dershowitz triangulates the legal landscape & Bassem Youssef ties everything up in moral knots. 🍿 🍿 🍿 youtu.be/IZS1dVumDIg?si…

Bondi busted self-serving Congress members by allowing them onto a crime scene to see what evidence they look for, so as to identify their priorities:

"The Wall Street giant said late Thursday that Kathy Ruemmler — who in the latest Epstein files dump was revealed to have an email rapport with the convicted pedophile right up to the days before his suicide, even signing her notes with “xoxo” — is leaving the bank."

Massie & DAG Todd Blanche scrapping about this on X right now & here's Khanna too (seems DoJ stonewalling intentionally caused confused re the Epstein 'co-conspirator' list of 6 names, 2 guilty as hell & 4 innocent, so that the latter got accidentally leaked by the 2 lawmakers):
