Drug concerns are probably not the real agenda for attacking Venezuela. That's becoming more and more obvious.
And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

It’s impossible to undo all the damage Trump has wrought to Canada-U.S. relations, says ex-UN ambassador Bob Rae
U.S. President Donald Trump "looks at Canada like the Big Bad Wolf looked at Little Red Riding Hood,” Rae said Wednesday. “It’s dinner. It’s a meal. It’s not a relationship.”

Rosemary long ago lost the distinction between journalism and advocacy, swept up in the "the press as opposition" rather than reporting and analysis. She's not alone ☹️. Carney wasn't wrong to suggest a look inside.😉

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

The hypocrisy is stunning.

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties — both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Brian Mulroney fought apartheid, defended the environment, and believed in global cooperation.
Today’s Conservatives would call that “woke.” CBC connects these moments in history with the politics of now.
