I mean, good news, the negotiations leading the Treaty of Westphalia were also πŸ‘dramaticπŸ‘.

No doubt. I just picked Westphalia because I was taught in my undergrad many years ago that Westphalia marked a boundary in the development of state sovereignty as a concept.

Returning to a pre-Treaty of Westphalia world will definitely be a fun* time.

It wasn't even the whole decade. The first Iraq war was from August 1990 to February 1991.

Even by the usual standards of Canadian foreign policy, this is exceptionally craven.

I was taught labour law by the man who wrote the decision finding that, in Nova Scotia, CLAC is not a union.

CLAC is not really a union. It doesn't believe in fighting employers to advance the interests of workers. It's the epitome of a yellow dog union.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times.

I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. πŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎπŸ‘πŸΎ

Econ majors should be forced to sit through at least a couple credits worth of poli sci courses so they can get some analysis.

Gretzky didn't just "damage" his reputation. The game yesterday was shown on the jumbotron in a 20k person arena in Toronto and the crowd booed him every time he was shown on screen.

step 1: do the Rocky Soviet training project to get a better Canadian goalie

Hockey fans watching the gold medal game in Toronto loudly booing Gretzky whenever he appears on screen is very pleasing to me.

Prime Minister Mark Carney looked pretty stressed while watching this tense game from a bar in Chelsea, Que. this morning. 

Same, Mr. Prime Minister, same.
