It is mindboggling to me that the American “thinking class” is only just starting to acknowledge the damage the president has wrought on relationships with allies. “Stir worry” is the understatement of the decade. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

When you remember that President Trump ran for office because he was roasted by President Obama at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, wanting to take Greenland because he wasn’t awarded a Nobel checks out.

Hey rest-of-world, welcome to 🇨🇦 politics. Even if the PM announces he is resigning, that doesn't trigger an election & it also doesn't mean he's going anywhere anytime soon. I suspect he will likely remain PM while the Liberals run a leadership race/he prorogues parliament (look it up). So strap in.

Years of effort & promises later the govt was on its way to a good online harms bill with broad stakeholder buy-in. Then they tied it to changes in criminal code. They knew it was never making it thru committee & they wasted time trying. Sigh. Maybe in 2025. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...
Online harms bill to be split in two after being stuck in Commons, held up by filibustering
Justice Minister Arif Virani plans to separate parts two and three of Bill C-63, splitting measures to protect children from online abuse from new offences that critics say are heavy-handed

A detail that seems to get lost in the northward finger-pointing is just how borders work: it’s the Americans who are responsible for who & what gets into 🇺🇸 from 🇨🇦. Yes, Canadian authorities need better tools to crackdown on human smuggling, but it takes two to tango when it comes to border security
