Looking forward to launching my late mother's (Erna Paris) posthumous memoir in a few weeks. Just finishing the final edits now. It's really good. See a few pre-publication "blurbs" in this thread. atbaypress.com/books/detail...

The legislature of the Northwest Territories in Yellowknife is beautifully designed - and the polar bear skin is a nice touch.

Today, millions of Canadians will go to the polls and proudly vote for parties that all categorically reject Trump’s vision of annexing Canada.

Trump is anxious about Canada and Europe coordinating their responses to US tariffs. Of course they should coordinate – without broadcasting the fact that they are doing so.

I used to live in Colorado. Two of my three kids were born there. So I’m especially happy to see this message from a leader who understands and values the relationship between our two countries.

Elon Musk’s arrogant response to Poland’s foreign minister underscores the importance of accelerating the development of alternative low-earth-orbit communications systems from providers that can be relied on (including Telesat).

I never thought I'd see such attitudes among Canadians, but I never thought the US would try to cripple Canada's economy and deny its sovereignty.

This Yougov poll was done in mid-February. Today, I'd bet that well over half of Canadians would say that the US is either unfriendly or an enemy.
