I can’t begin to imagine the grief and guilt the air traffic controller is feeling right now. I’m sure it’s going to be with him for the rest of his life. With cutbacks and politics being what they are nowadays, I’m just surprised that this kind of accident hasn’t happened more often.

All this talk about “end times” and the coming apocalypse makes me wonder about the Antichrist. For those that believe in it, one would think that the comparison to Donald Trump would be a no brainer. Instead they seem to accept Trump as their Saviour. Which, I guess, is how the Antichrist is...

I think it was about four or five years ago that the Royal Navy made an offer to cooperate with and assist Canada with our arctic security needs. At the time I don’t think the offer was seriously considered. But in light of Trump’s threats, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s push as a...

Compared to what’s happening today, the Teapot Dome Scandal of the 1920s seems rather trivial.

Sadly, accountability doesn’t seem to apply to Trump.

I doubt whether Trump and his ilk have any idea as to what Quebecers can be like.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the UK manufactures its own nuclear weapons yet relies on the U.S. Trident missiles for delivery of its weapons. If so, would it be that difficult for the UK to develop its own missiles? Is there a pact preventing the Brits from doing so?

I’m trying to get my head around this whole 51st state thing. Admittedly this is an unlikely scenario but let’s say the separatists’ wildest dream did come true and, after a brief period of independence, newly-independent Alberta joined the U.S. Would they then become the 51st state? And.if...

Seldom have I seen anyone in recent memory who, as a politician, is as full of hatred as Trump. Hatred tends to breed more hatred.

If anything Canada should demand that the owners, the Maroun family, pay Canada compensation for past revenues. Trump is going to go from one thing to another to starve us into submission. If I were Carney, I’d tell Trump that we’re not paying him one f’ing cent. Maybe it’s a good thing I’m...

It seems that every day I’m shaking my head in disbelief at what is being said and done in Trump’s fascist America. I’m glad that my American dad is not around to see what is happening in his homeland and that Americans are not standing up to what Trump is doing.

I was able to get in. My take on it is that, with our expanded defence spending, Canada COULD POSSIBLY spend some of that money on more planes. It’s like I’m being told something I already know. No mention of anything being firmed up regarding the F-35 or Gripen.

It seems like everybody’s getting screwed over for something or other. Maybe the Millenials should separate from the rest of Canadian society.

And the First Nations in the so-called new nation of Alberta start putting up roadblocks with their armed border guards to keep The Albertans out. Everybody ends up hating everybody.
