On the 10 hour drive from Sault Ste. Marie to Kingston, Ontario, I would say that High Falls Road is the most Tolkienesque sounding of the various highways and roads travelled. If only it were “High Falls Pass.”

Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked.

The use of Fashions in thought is to distract the attention of men from their real dangers. We direct the fashionable outcry of each generation against those vices of which it is least in danger and fix its approval on the virtue nearest to that vice which we are trying to make endemic. […]

Voted! Polling officials at our advanced poll for the Canadian federal election said that all polls are reporting heavy turnouts. Normally in Canadian election it might take me about 15 minutes to get in, vote, and leave. It was more like 40 minutes today. #cdnpoli

Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. - Gandalf, The Last Debate

Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn.

Opinion: We’re secure, until we’re not. So don’t take Canada’s sovereignty for granted
Canada and other Western countries have been lulled into a sense of false stability that is neither shared elsewhere in the world nor reflected consistently through history

I'm constantly amazed by people who, when they see someone or some nation (including their own), being attacked or bullied think, "geez we/they must have really done something to deserve this." Maybe the bully is the problem because he or it is a bully.

It would not be a boon to Canadians, however, who value their own nation - warts and all - as much as Americans value theirs. Why do you assume everyone else wants to be you? We aren’t required to believe the things you tell yourselves to feel good.
Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...
Canada as the 51st State? In Electoral Terms, Trump’s Idea Favors Democrats.
Bringing Canada into the United States, however farcical the prospect may seem, would alter the political map in a way likely to cost Republicans.
