David Moscrop is absolutely right. Canada must insist that we have an independent foreign policy and will not have our foreign relations dictated by the United States. See his "Is Canada A Country, Or The 51st State?" open.substack.com/pub/davidmos...
Is Canada A Country, Or The 51st State?
The Carney government must not cede more ground to the Trump administration by backing down on recognizing the state of Palestine.

No wonder the people of Ottawa kicked this guy into the unemployment line. For 3 weeks the capital was occupied. Citizens were threatened. Businesses were forced to shut from harassment.
Poilievre brought the donuts.
Canada is dealing with threat from Trump while Poilievre whines about the convoy.

Caving to Trump does not pay. Canada should retaliate proportionately.
Ah, I see we're back to the "our fentanyl comes from Canada* and you must act to stop it**" routine

*It doesn't

"The petition...supposes that being on unceded [Musqueam] territory and not saying anything about it is not political, and that acknowledging it is political...of course, it’s no more political to acknowledge it than to be there without acknowledging it."

Free Speech at UBC: ‘We're Watching This Case Very Closely’ | The Tyee
Profs petitioned BC’s Supreme Court to stop land acknowledgments and other ‘political’ statements by the university. That’s dangerous, says a BCCLA lawyer.

"The grand story of freedom isn’t just about the loss of the republican ideal of independence to an ascendant liberalism; it’s about the invention of the ideal of free self-creation by liberals and socialists, who continue to squander their contribution even now." www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Quentin Skinner and the Contested History of Freedom
Over a long career, Skinner has sought to reclaim the idea of republican liberty for the modern age. But his work also raises the question: free for what?

I think Carney could have been better prepared for these questions: how will a throne speech by King Charles play in Quebec? And how does inviting the sovereign from another country to open our parliament protect our sovereignty? To be clear: there are good answers. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

U.S. President Donald Trump’s punitive tariffs and threats of annexation have unleashed an unprecedented wave of pride and indignation among Canadians. It’s a curious thing for a mild-mannered country.
