Trump is exceeding Putin’s wildest dreams. If nothing else, Vlad is to be congratulated for his canny investment in people. What did it cost? A few bank loans to prop up a failing American real estate developer? A few hookers performing in a Moscow hotel room? Payback time, Donnie.

I’m definitely not a Doug Ford fan. In this time of fiscal restraint, the announcement of this so-called “gravy-plane” purchase couldn’t have come at a worse time. Having said that, I’m trying to keep an open mind as to whether the purchase truly is or is not in the public’s best interest...

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.
