JD Vance is dissing Canada. Me thinks he's jealous.

The death of a friend and former student, Lt. Alexis Helmer of Ottawa, inspired McCrae to write his famous poem. It was nearly lost forever as McCrae, not happy with what he'd written, discarded it. A fellow officer retrieved it and sent it to England to be published.
www.canada.ca/en/departmen...
"In Flanders Fields" by Col. John McCrae, In Flanders Fields The poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead, short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe To you, from failing hands, we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields.

The USA is acting out classic novels lately. Lots of references to 'The Great Gatsby' (obviously), but I also see 'Oliver Twist' with Trump in the role of Mr. Bumble (aptly named). The workhouse master lives the good life with his cronies while denying food to poor children who go hungry.
Scene from the 1968 movie 'Oliver!' where Mr. Bumble, the workhouse master oversees a lavish dinner feast for his rich cronies. Scene from the 1968 movie 'Oliver!' where Oliver Twist approaches Mr. Bumble, the workhouse master, with empty bowl in hand while the other workhouse children watch.

The US Senate voted Wed to approve a resolution that would block Trump's tariffs on Canada, a day after they voted to block tariffs on Brazil. The move is mostly symbolic, since it is unlikely to be taken up in the GOP-controlled House.

If/when USA becomes a healthy functioning democracy again, they can turn the White House ballroom into a museum; like how the Louvre was repurposed from a palace to a museum. Perhaps dedicated to "We The People" where all the people have access and not just billionaires.

President Xi Jinping comments on Twitter/X and states what most non-Americans already believe. USA hegemony is over.
President Xi Jinping - Commentary (verified Twitter/X account) June 16, 2025 The world can move on without the United States. 100 years ago, the British Empire dominated global commerce, commanding more than 20% of the world’s wealth. Many believed its sun would never set. 200 years ago, France bestrode Europe’s stage, its armies feared, its culture envied. Napoleon declared himself immortal. 400 years ago, the Spanish crown reigned from Manila to Mexico, its treasure fleets groaning with silver and silk. The kings thought their glory would last eternal. Each empire proclaimed itself indispensable. Each was ultimately eclipsed. Power wanes, influence migrates, and legitimacy dies the moment it’s assumed rather than earned. Should America forfeit the world’s respect, it will discover what every fallen empire learned too late: The world moves on. Always.

Anyone else thinking it's a good thing that Trump leaving Kananaskis G7 summit?
Now the remaining serious leaders can frankly discuss the current world problems and arrive at a consensus for viable solutions without having to deal with spanner in the works guy from the USA.
