And here's the letter sent by a Team Blue MP/Shadow Minister/critic for CAN-US relations:

Norway-based independent media outs a few GRU'ists in Norway. https://www.thebarentsobserver.com/security/the-gru-family-how-russian-intelligence-officers-settled-in-norway/456193 Also archived here.

That's the point Angry Kory makes - lotsa Conservative parties, and people voting for lots of the provincially-flavoured ones, but not so many for the nationally-flavoured one.

Personally a big fan of local Gouda (made with local milk), made by Dutch expats who couldn't believe how much land for a dairy farm they could buy for how little money compared to back in the old country years ago. https://www.cheesefarm.ca/

Like most things political, it's in the eye of the beholder. Some think it's just Canada, some think it's just the U.S. - everyone's mileage varies these days. Those more cynical than I am say the dildo of consequence rarely comes lubed, too, so .... :)

Let’s see how personally - or not - the other side takes it now. Gotta be careful with that rationale, though, frank & forthright as it may be. I can hear people way at the other end of the political spectrum using the same argument justifying other countries’ cutting our sovereignty grass...

Short & sweet initial response from POTUS47 via the socials - for now, anyway ....

There’s a song in there somewhere … Halls of Momtezuma … shores of Tripoli … worth workshopping.

Good point - but now, there’s someone actually not precisely in lockstep with the coach (other than saying Team Blue Ontario’s way too Red) in a public way. That said … … while intriguing as the tiniest bit of freelance narrative stretching, still way too early for me to agree with “will.”...

To steal from Angry Kory on another podcast, funny how people seem willing to vote for provincial Team Blue franchises, but not the national one.

Taking cues from the coach, who said the BC Tory leadership race result was a "big win against liberal lobbyists from out east," referring to Kory Teneycke who helped the didn't-win candidate. The narrative continues as love remains lost between Team Blue National and Ontario franchises ....

Sounds familiar for all colours and levels of government - in the words of the Deputy Minister (that's what he'd be called in Canada) from "Yes, Minister" .... Meanwhile, here's a take on the latest from Vance's schoolmate, via x.com.

For the record, the speech text via the info-machine. https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/speeches/2026/08/22/prime-minister-carney-delivers-remarks-canada-us-trade-negotiations Archived here - captured text also attached.

Which is what the Veep is quoted as sorta saying, anyway. Yeah, politics can be funny that way, for sure.
