Made me chuckle a bit …

It’s time we ditched the labels “left” and “right”, which are relics of the 18th-20th century. Today the two camps are more correctly called authoritarian and democratic. There are many on both left and right who actually are authoritarians. Likewise for democracy proponents

How come Mr. “free speech” guy Elon Musk hasn’t said one word about Putin killing Navalny? Not one single word. Navalny was jailed and killed because he dared to speak out against a dictator. And not one word from Elon. Not exactly a portrait in courage there Elon.

Also true in Canada with many Conservatives.

I hope Pierre Poilievre will soon make an announcement to the effect that, once he becomes PM, his government will not only maintain, but increase financial support for Ukraine. But, given the attitude of the “base”, I’m not holding my breath.

We need the CPC to state something similar this unequivocally. Expansionist totalitarianism must be defeated.

Trump is a bully. Like all bullies, he only understands only one thing: strength. The Canadian political voices who showed strength (Ford, Chretien, Harper, most Premiers) can take credit for this. Not Smith, O'Leary et al. The waterboys.

The Maine economy is integrated with Canada, our most important trading partner. Certain tariffs will impose a significant burden on many families, manufacturers, the forest products industry, small businesses, lobstermen, and agricultural producers. For example, 95 percent of

Good for PP. Wondering … 1) If PP would also put aside partisan politics and cooperate to assure adequate response rather than try to defeat the gov’t right away. 2) How much of this list can be done by the government immediately *without* recalling parliament.
