Canada β€˜abandoning’ international law with support for U.S. strikes on Iran, say former diplomats Though Canada's approach to Iran has been 'well-aligned' with the United States for many years, Prime Minister Mark Carney's government has been reluctant to condemn any suspected violations of intern...

However one reads the Davos speech, this is correct IMO: Carney is abandoning int'l law in the Middle East, which he can’t even say applies to Iran & which will make it harder for him to claim it applies to acts of aggression in Ukraine, Taiwan &, of course, Canada www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

Trump and Netanyahu have managed to place targets on their citizens & countries, in a fashion neither are capable of comprehending.

Far too caught up in their personal fantasies of supreme power - power to act unencumbered, as they see fit.

PM Carney best choose his words carefully, lest he

Any country that doesn’t produce its own oil keeps getting more and more incentive to accelerate the shift to renewables, even if it couldn’t care less about climate change.

Lloyd Axworthy: Canada once rejected America’s aggressive, unlawful foreign policy. Today Mark Carney embraced it By endorsing preventive strikes on Iran during ongoing diplomacy, and after Washington itself shredded the previous agreement, we are embracing the very doctrine we used to reject, writes Lloyd Axwort...

"We invoke international law and the 'rules based international order' when adversaries engage in unlawful actions, but abandon those same rules entirely when it’s the Americans doing the bombing."

Vehicle fuel economy and vehicle miles traveled: An empirical investigation of Jevon’s Paradox There has been, in recent decades, a concerted effort to promote energy efficiency as a means to reduce energy consumption. The general thesis is that…

STUDY: Despite conventional wisdom that increases in vehicle fuel efficiency results in decreased gasoline consumption, Jevons’ Paradox holds. For every 1 mile per gallon of increased fuel efficiency there’s an associated 1.2 mile increase in vehicle miles travelled.

Better cars = higher emissions.

Canada Feeds the Crocodile This morning, I keep thinking about Winston Churchill, and the powerful allegory he used to warn that the appeaser is the man who feeds others to the crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

PM Carney has forgotten the story of the crocodile.
The appeaser supports feeding others to the crocodile in the hope that the crocodile will eat them last.
We are watching horrific violence in the Middle East.
Canada cannot stand with the crocodiles.

People are glad we killed someone we had no legal right to kill.

People don’t care how many innocent lives were lost for it.

Lots of academics I really respect are highlighting this misunderstanding, which I’ve apparently also fallen prey to.

But there’s an important point here:

What did Carney think laymen would take away from his speech when he spoke of taking a sign out of a window in the face of a bullying regime?

So…Israel has murdered three dozen girls at an elementary school, Trump has declared war on *Iran* and Mark Carney is fully on board because…terrorism? Have we really learned *nothing* from the last 30 years? Never thought I’d miss Jean ChrΓ©tien so much 😑

Once again, in actual democracies, people do not need to engage in permanent litigation & political mobilization to retain the basic right to vote, because none of the major political parties make restricting suffrage the central pillar of their policy platform. We also don't have to live like this.

The NDP need to rebrand themselves as the Centrist Party, or the Moderate Party , and then make Arlene the leader.

Epstein Files Are Missing Records About Woman Who Made Claim Against Trump

Lots of war-time, anti β€œalien immigrants” stories. Very little about the economy.

Royal family is considering removing Andrew from Succession.

He is 8th in line, so there are low chances he will live that long, but it's just on the Principle.

Armed Police rammed into his accommodation on his birthday, just to add salt to the injury.
