Thinking that Canada can or will be a positive influence on any of these regimes is nonsense.

Time for the NDP to rebuild.

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

Just waiting for the "pendulum to swing back" is not going to cut it for the rest of the world.
I was about to post a similar thing
The problem is not just Trump and his deranged speech, the problem is also that none of the checks and balances work
It's not a personal breakdown, it's an institutional breakdown
Electing a new president in 2028 will not be enough to restore trust within NATO

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Now replace "middle powers" with "middle and lower classes" and replace "rules-based international order" with "neoliberal systems", then we might get somewhere.

Canadians should be asking questions about how deeply our military has been collaborating with American ops of questionable legality.

Have CAF been involved in flying deportees to CECOT in El Salvador?
What about providing intelligence or support for Op. Southern Spear?

Last time I checked the Patricias also regularly clobber the US army in war games.
Also tired of: "Canada barely has a military." I was in uniform in what I thought was a regiment of the Canadian Army, but I was apparently mistaken. And my brothers in law hallucinated their service in Afghanistan.
