15 years as news reporter on 3 continents for CBC BBC CTV ABC + 23 years UN agencies to spread the love. You can take the boy out of the newsroom but. I’m officially retired (whatever that means). In any case, views are my own. “Sexy” or “fund me” ignored.
Trump’s unhinged and disgusting remarks about Reiner - and turning the narrative to himself - are really an indication (if any more are needed) that this guy is a narcissistic lunatic and the American people must find a way to get him out of the Presidency. It’s now beyond urgent for the whole world

Did Canada’s King discuss Trump’s threat to take over the king’s nation 🇨🇦? Just wondering. The silence from Buck House has been deafening more months. To ignore it - especially during a face to face meeting - is the highest form of whimper. Was the Canadian High Commissioner invited to the dinner?

I really think Robert is on to this. Scary but probably the real reasons behind deploying troops in major U.S. cities like LA and DC and taking over the latter with troops calling the shots over police. Just. A. Trial. Run.
It’s important to see Trump’s occupation of Washington, D.C., as a trial run for a possible military occupation of the United States, including martial law, later in his term. I suspect he’s most interested in learning six things... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-trial-run

NYT editors must have been wringing their hands over whether to publish this… I wonder if this is only for international online subscribers or whether it also appeared in the local NY/US edition.

With Australia’s Labor Party win, the “5 eyes” countries are continuing the shift away from US autocracy. All but NZ now have centrist or left of centre governments. Canada isn’t’ mincing any words - UK needs to be a bit more vocal. Staying quiet to appease Trump reminds me of Chamberlain cowardice

So Canadian election is over and Liberals win - good - but only a minority government (harder to pass legislation) which Trump will see an advantage. Even ultra importance of this only 66% voted. WTAF is WRONG with people when their country under threat & they don’t vote?

Why a minority Liberal government took so long to call | CBC News
The CBC Decision Desk took until Tuesday afternoon to predict the Liberals would form a minority government because Elections Canada needed extra time to count the record number of ballots cast.
