Lindsey Halligan, the loyalist President Donald Trump handpicked to prosecute his political enemies last year, has stepped down as the top federal prosecutor in eastern Virginia more than a month after she was formally disqualified from the position. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
U.S. attorney pretender Lindsey Halligan leaves office after judges force her out
It marks the culmination of her tumultuous, error-prone and legally illegitimate four-month stint as interim U.S. attorney.

Carney's Davos speech appears to be the coup de grâce in a very effective PR campaign executed over the last few days. It's catalyzed the illusion that Canada's approach to foreign policy has fundamentally changed. It has also served as a rearguard action to cement the Liberals domestic support.

A reminder that the mechanisms Mark Carney is talking about with regard to humanitarian aid for Palestine already existed, and still exist, under the UN system. Canada chose to follow the US & Israel, standing idly while that system was sidelined, the people within it marginalized and even murdered.
In his continued exchange during a World Economic Forum interview, Canadian PM Mark Carney states that Canada "would write cheques and deliver in kind to improve the welfare of the people in Palestine" when asked about the $1 billion entry free to Donald Trump's "Board of Peace."
