The criticism of Mark Carney on Palestine reveals witlessness or dishonesty. He offers no “reward” for terror - the LAST thing Hamas wants is a democratic, disarmed Palestinian State. Canada’s position amounts to saying “get a brain transplant and I will be your friend.”

Brexit is the most absurd hill for Labour to die on, yet all recent polls from every pollster provide clear evidence that they're dying. It is stark staring mad that their approach to Brexit continues to be "slightly improve the lifeboats on the Titanic". archive.ph/2025.08.02-232…

Hamas leader Osama Hamden has a deep personal understanding of hunger.

August 4, 2025 is the 81st anniversary of the Gestapo's arrest of Anne Frank and her family. She died at Bergen-Belsen, 2 weeks before the concentration camp was liberated in Spring 1945. Like 6 million others, Anne was murdered for being a Jew. She was 15 years old.

Have the lessons of #Hiroshima been lost?

If there is no emergency in DC, then Trump has no authority to federalize policing there. Crime was down 35% last year in DC. There is no emergency.

The use of s. 33 to shield laws from Canada’s Charter of Rights & Freedoms is essentially an admission by a legislature that its statute violates persons’ rights. But the Sask Appeal Court says s.33 does not protect lawmakers from being declared to have violated those rights.

Imagine if Churchill had to repeatedly justify why he was fighting the Battle of Britain. That is the ludicrous indignity Trump keeps inflicting upon Zelenskyy. #Ukraine

Many supporters of Israel, like myself, think Netanyahu’s Gaza war has become “all pain and not enough gain” for Israel and certainly for Palestinians. A new plan is needed. However, it’s important to know the truth about Gaza, such as this news from HonestReporting :

Thanks to Lorrie Goldstein and others, who made sure the world knew about the issue, TIFF has seen the light (or been dragged into the light) and will show “The Road Between Us.”

The Putin summit reminds us: Trump hates America, hates Americans and hates what America stands for. He was (and still is) the un-American President. davidkeithlaw.wordpress.com/2018/06/10/the…

As a loyal TRIP+ member, I have listened to you be sadly wrong about much with Gaza. But you are not wrong to say that Israel must stop doing what it is doing. Netanyahu is dragging them into disaster. Rory Stewart ALASTAIR CAMPBELL wp.me/p2gtxb-1ul

I am not allowed to reply :) but I will say this way, thank you Christine, I am gratified by your comment.

You have to sympathize with flight attendants if they aren’t paid for the work they do on the ground. But their union, #CUPE, is wrong to defy the law ordering people back to work.

Dear Americans, especially House Republicans & Senate Republicans: That weird, unfamiliar sensation you get watching Trump is called "shame." It feels bad but it's actually good for you. You need to experience it more often, until you decide to solve the problem.

We should sympathize with Air Canada employees, but remember: up until now, their union @CUPE agreed to those bad contracts & told flight attendants to vote FOR those bad contracts. Now their union tells them to break the law. That's more bad advice from @CUPE.

Israel is better than its enemies. We must remind people of that, while reminding Israel to behave better than its enemies. The war in Gaza isn’t working. davidkeithlaw.wordpress.com/2025/08/17/whe…

What we do and say to others, changes who we are. It is impossible to be fully human, if we dehumanize other people. I suppose this can be called a selfish reason not to be awful. But it’s a reason.
