Can someone explain to me how an AMERICAN “president” can pardon an ISRAELI “prime minister” for crimes against humanity perpetrated in the MIDDLE EAST?

A central theme in Hamilton is immigrants rising up & building a better life for themselves.
Another theme is fighting monarchy and oligarchy and working to establish a democracy.

On the other hand, the silence and sitting in candle light is pretty amazing.

I’m not sure whether I want him to survive the CPC leadership review in January or not.
On the one hand, I despise him and all he stands for.
On the other hand, he’s so toxic, he makes the CPC virtually unelectable as government. That’s a win in my books.

“Pierre Poilievre likes to present himself as a regular guy focused on Canadians’ bread-and-butter concerns, but the reality is he’s a well-connected shill for Big Oil. He can be tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries and the Canadian Gas Association.”

An excellent essay on how Canada needs to develop a long-term strategy to manage trade relations with China. (China uses trade as a weapon and coercive force.)
We need strategic responses and diversified trade to reduce China’s leverage over us.

Canada’s China policy was built around a core assumption: that trade and politics could be kept separate. China has proven otherwise.
