About 20% of US oil consumption comes from Canada. This is our biggest export. The Trump tariff will only increase the price of gas in the USA. Not likely to happen. Unless Trump turns to his buddy Putin for a special deal on Russian oil.

In retrospect it seems clear that Trudeau’s visit to Florida to kiss Trump’s ass may have backfired. This kind of fawning reverence is unbecoming for the leader of a G7 nation.

Krugman’s sayonara . He’s right about the decline in trust but what he and many others miss is the fundamental shift in the media landscape. Social media has thousands of different lenses through which people can find the reality they’re most comfortable with . www.nytimes.com/2024/12/09/o...

Stories like these illustrate the major weakness of US compared with Canadian health care. It has little to do with private treatment and everything to do with health insurance.

Under Legault the constraints on religious freedom would reach alarming levels. How do you police praying in public spaces? Someone makes the sign of the cross and gets thrown in jail? These facist tendencies are offset by new lows in his personal polularity . www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud

With the Trump victory, a whole new chapter has opened in American and world history. Trump’s vote count was only a couple million ahead of 2020. Harris’s defeat was as much about Democrats staying home as opposed to a massive swing to the right. But the winners get to define the moment.
