I think some of the opposition to the China agreement we are seeing is what this Canadian right wing pundit is observing: There is a sliver of Canadians who would so much rather be right wing Americans that they will only see the wrong in what any Canadian leader does.

This isn’t a Canadian political thread.

The right narrative coming from Saskatchewan.

If there too few good people in the US executive & legislative branches to remove a president who is bringing the US into the axis of evil, maybe there are enough selfish individuals who will sway the balance to save their wealth...

When you delay standing up to authoritarianism, you are giving authoritarianism more time to entrench itself and to consolidate power.

Apparently Trump is now posting his own memes about his pursuits of lebensraum.

Joint statement from several of our allies.

Apparently anyone can get an invite to pay the “membership fee” and join the Gaza board. https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/19/europe/putin-board-of-peace-gaza-trump-intl

Checks and balances apparently are just stronly worded statements.

It might help getting to 2% if there were more urgency updating DoAs to give the full authorities of the updated matrix

The Trump insistence on stealing Greenland and subjugating its citizens does not have to result in the end of NATO. It could just result in the US expulsion.

The article you linked does not support your conclusion. 58% of US voters called his first year a failure, but the other 42% did not call it a success. 19% to 21% gave positive endorsements on the various metrics shown in the article. He has a crumbling base, and the US starting to feel a...

You're in the Trump wants to annex parts of Denmark thread. The general musing's on Trump's performance (including discussion already on that article) are over here: Trump administration 2024-2028

I suspect the skew in results for conservatives reflects a concentration of the minority of Canadians who want to be annexed by Americans. The ones who have already told us why they look forward to greeting our new overlords.

So the conclusion is police were too passive before the emergency was invoked. And if what I have heard on this site is accurate, everything the police eventually did to clear the occupations (in Ottawa and at boarder crossings) was within their extant powers even before an emergency was...

Hopefully this makes a change in the situation.

Poll finds that American voters perceive the first year of Trump 2.0 as a failure with focus being given to the wrong things and everything haven gotten worse. https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/politics/trump-economy-first-year-cnn-poll?cid=ios_app

Is that existing infrastructure fit for purpose?

I am simply not a defeatist. The optimists are telling us war will not happen because Trump will TACO, or the generals will revolt, or Congress will save us after the invasion is started. But given the nature of threats against Greenland and Canada, realists know we need to be preparing...

I answered what Canada must do prior to your asking the question. If the US attacks NATO, Canada must support NATO. NATO’s best odds are with Canada on the team, and Canda’s last best chance is with NATO. If Trump attacks NATO, then choosing not to fight beside NATO is choosing to be conquered...
