Surely American evangelicals must be at least a little bit disturbed by how frequently Trump gives the order to kill people. He seems to like doing it.

Danielle Smith keeps feeding the beast If there’s a Pandora’s Box that Alberta's premier hasn’t opened yet, it’s not for a lack of trying.

Unbelievable. Although i do believe it. MAGA North, that's who she and her cronies are. I find them despicable.

Greetings and blessings to Muslim friends as you begin Ramadan tonight; may it bring you a sense of closeness to God and to your community. This year Christians will be a day behind you; we begin Lent tomorrow. Ramadan has a bit more 'oomph' than Lent, though!

Hint: 70% of our trade is with the US, and you can't pivot that overnight. Something to do with sharing a four thousand mile border.

I will never understand the muse, but when a story flies by, you grab it with both handsβ€”and then you suddenly find you're airborne and it's pulling you along!

One could wish these things came at a more convenient time, but after two years of writer's block (despite several attempts), I've finally got a novel plot that's ticking along like an express train, and is almost writing itself.

1. I wonder why Canada might see China as a more reliable trading partner than the USA?

2. Trump doesn't learn - the fastest way to unite Canadians behind our PM is to insult him by calling him 'Governor Carney'. The last time he called a PM 'Governor', Carney came from behind and won an election.
