The β€œhe said but she said” approach to news and punditry is tiring, and not a public service. If the gov’t does something, the temporary leader of the NDP - or the Green Party leader - may have a useful POV. But media always go to PP. Oppo leader, yes - but he has few helpful & honest Insights.

It’s similar to what’s been happening here in Canada, Mike. Scary times. our wonderful PM Carney has his hands full on different fronts. Fighting disinformation and it’s friend fascism is a challenge for many countries.

Who is this, Karen?
Thanks for the updates, by the way.

Unconscionable what they’ve done in leaving him so unprotected.

Bizarre how some people think they know more than a man who helped lead two countries through times of great crisis: Canada during the financial crisis, and the UK before and after Brexit. I’d trust him a thousand times over his critics here.

It’s tiring listening to the US ambassador’s constant whingeing and whining about Canada. If your job is to improve relations, grow up and act like it! Help us to like you and stop the carping!

If he really worried about personal safety, he wouldn’t be spreading the lies and smears that nurture divisiveness.

Glad there were counter-protesters. This evil cannot be allowed to take root. We only have to look south to see what can happen.

Where’s the moose?
And the Canada goose?
Don’t see the beaver
Neither.

I wish you a good Canadian day.

The country needs a national day of mourning for all those school children killed by gunmen.

The far right is taking over local councils, school boards and library boards across Ontario in particular. it’s a stealth operation that’s moving swiftly.

We watch the steps to authoritarian RW govt in the US but we are not immune. In Ontario, Doug Ford is removing locally elected school boards and replacing them with his appointees. He has already been replacing members of the board responsible for judicial appointments with his partisan loyalists.

Ukraine is to Russia as Canada is to the US. Minerals and other resources right next door.
We are not safe from the regime next door.
Let’s help Ukraine now, and not solely for altruistic reasons. We Canadians will need the help if/when the regime next door comes after us.

Just watched Meghan Markle’s Season 2, Episode 1. It’s the treat I didn’t know I needed. Down to earth and fun, while passing on cooking tips, etc. The foursome of Meghan, David Chang, Daniel Martin and Christina Tosi has a great vibe. Hope we’ll see them together again.

No. It’s a helluva cautionary tale. And every citizen should have to read and understand it.

- the IPCC underestimates the rate of warming.
