"We are not at war yet. But we are certainly no longer at peace."
I am at the NATO meetings in Brussels. Trump and Putin are plunging the world into dark chaos. Here is my dispatch from day one of the meetings.
I decided that it was time to go over the boards for Canada. Please read and share.

Time to ramp the oil exports by rail back up. There is room to grow from our current 2.5bbl/month back to our previous record high of 11bbl/month from 2018. One small step to diversify our trading partners. www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-anal...

When do we start the discussion on relocating the United Nations headquarters out of New York City?
It is clear that the USA no longer supports the aims "to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations and countries, achieve international cooperation"

ANBL should do the same thing as the LCBO is planning and clear New Brunswick shelves of Californian wine and Tennessee whiskey if these tariffs come through.
Are you a fan of Kentucky bourbon or Tennessee whiskey? After a tariff war with Trump, you might want to shift to Canadian whisky! I wrote about it for Global News.

Buzzkill? Why Trump tariffs could see U.S. booze barred on Canadian shelves - National | Globalnews.ca
In 2023, U.S. alcohol exports to Canada amounted to US$262 million (C$377 million) a year. American booze could get costlier if Canada and the U.S. enter a tariff war.

Love this. There is such a big hole in Canadian local news throughout the country especially with the transition from traditional media where even small towns had multiple competing papers.

Great to see the early Twitter energy, interactions and discussion here. Nice to hear from some voices that like myself had gone passive or disconnected. Hope we can rebuild the positive (and goofy) community we once had.
