Quietly enjoying those I follow. Learning, agreeing (most times) and maybe someday adding my voice too. Respectfully observing from downtown YOW in the meantime :)

The Dempster Highway runs a length of 737.5 kilometres from near Dawson City, Yukon to Inuvik, Northwest Territories.
Construction took two decades and was anything but easy.
This is the history of that highway.

French President Emmanuel Macron’s speech at Davos was very good, but the day belonged to Canada’s Mark Carney. Prime Minister Carney delivered a thoughtful, perceptive & clear-eyed foreign policy statement on the anarchical international system of today.

Carney skillfully navigates anarchical international system
The stable post-Second World War international order has been abandoned by its most powerful architect — the United States.

Just spit ballin here, but, in light of this new geo-political landscape most all adults recognize as real, in an effort to help enhance Canada’s ability to become a more self-sustaining sovereignty, maybe this isn’t the best time to be blowing $10B-plus on a f*cken make-work highway tunnel.

Carney's speech today had me wanting to snip quote after quote and post them, much as I would have done when I read Churchill's speeches. It will have a reach beyond Canada but I hope Canadians do read his words and rally around both the reality and the vision he laid out for middle power countries.

The ambassador should be called to the carpet on this. No canadian should set foot in America. This is an escalation.
This post to Truth Social requires an immediate response from the international community and either impeachment or invocation of the 25th amendment by Congress. Republicans, you are sleepwalking the world towards an entirely preventable catastrophe.

In 1919, the League of Nations was established and Canada became a founding member.
Membership brought Canada its first official contact with foreign governments on its way to establishing itself as a sovereign nation in the British Commonwealth.

On Jan. 9, 1967, the Confederation Train began its journey.
For the next 12 months, it travelled Canada. In each car of the train was a museum dedicated to our history. The horn even played the opening notes of O Canada.
This is the story of the train.

Guerilla warfare is foremost a political war, a psychological war, and war is only won or lost via hearts and minds.
#Canada loses when we lose the will to resist. When we choose comfort over agency, justice and self determination.
So resist.

They also have some great history too!
