The point of my sarcasm is that both government and business need checks and balances to limit their power. As Lord Acton said, “Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Trump’s lies have Americans thinking that they will be much better off financially because of him...
As if business is the saviour of the world? If so let us bow down and pray right now that business will consign all government to the fiery depths of hell.
There have always been people like MTG, Trump, Boebert, Gates et al. What we haven’t seen until relatively recently is such a vast number of Americans who look up to people like them and seem to hang on every word they utter. I’m wondering if those Americans who enable them fit any of the...
Trump’s Easter message just goes to show the extent of his derangement, especially his fixation on Biden and past “wrongs”. The fact that Americans are not overwhelmingly disgusted at his rantings, especially at Easter, shows the state of America’s very sad decline. And as that decline...
Until they can occupy a closer-to-centre position, the CPC is more likely to see even more defeats. The LPC seems to out-maneuver them every time. Once Trudeau resigned and Carney replaced him, the CPC seemed to be unassailable. But they blew their huge lead in a matter of weeks. So was it...
The problem with U.S. subsidiaries is that they take Canadian talent and then transfer them to their U.S. head office or subsidiaries. It’s the nature of the beast.
I’d love to see a TV series on Canadian heroes, both those in the military and those in the private sector. Much of the “glamour” of the U.S. comes from myths that were based on reality…e.g. Davey Crockett at the Alamo, George Custer, etc. Canada has done little to create heroes and those that...
I think we should look on Australia’s film productions as a role model for us. The Aussies did quite well domestically and internationally for promoting their war-time accomplishments although sometimes not always seeing the “bad guy” necessarily as the only bad guy. Gallipoli and Breaker...
Going ahead with the full order of F-35s still doesn’t solve the basic problem, which is Trump himself. Even if we had ordered 150 F-35s he could still pull the rug out from under us for whatever reason, even if it has nothing to do with the military. The fact is, the United States has become...
One would think that something like this would be a likely if not probable response by China. Trump must have had someone in his cabinet or advisors who have envisioned this happening. Or maybe everyone’s too afraid of him to point out how dangerous his on-and-off tariff strategy is. Or...
China’s latest salvo…halting the sale of critical minerals to what seems to be pretty much everybody and not just the U.S. This is reported in the New York Times, so a paywall may apply.
