Weird that the term “West Bank” isn’t just used to describe that chunk of ground that Jordan annexed in 1948 that was on the West Bank of the Jordan River from the rest of Jordan. It is what it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordanian_annexation_of_the_West_Bank The territory first emerged in...

Before climate science became politicized, warm periods were referred to by scientists as “climate optima” because, for almost all species on Earth, warmer is better than colder. The most dramatic advances in civilization took place during the last four warm periods—including our own. The...

Iran through its Houthi proxies aren’t a friend of Saudi Arabia’s. I hear you there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houthi%E2%80%93Saudi_Arabian_conflict (basically it’s like the Muslim Hatfields and Mcoys) (The BRICS are mentioned in the last couple minutes of the video above)

Well…most in the West (GVA excepted) still remembered Papa Trudeau, so they actually listened to what Jr Trudeau was saying. That might be what Dixie is sayin… The 2025 Canadian federal election will take place on or before (hopefully looong before) October 20, 2025, to elect members of the...

The surprise, swift collapse of Bashar Assad's regime in Syria has been met with cautious optimism by many in Iran, where those disillusioned with their own authoritarian Islamic clerical regime see parallels between their struggles and those of the Syrian people. For Iranians, Assad's fall is...

Surprise surprise….like back in the 70’s.

That they have. Knocking the hijab right off the Iranian rulers…figuratively speaking. http://www.ctvnews.ca/world/youtube-singer-arrested-in-iran-after-performing-an-online-concert-while-not-wearing-a-hijab-1.7146067...

I think they might be coming to realize it themselves as their proxies are withering. http://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0mv83m4z7vo TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran has paused the process of implementing a new, stricter law on women’s mandatory headscarf, or hijab, an official said — a bill that many...

I wonder what the Houthis think will happen next?

Trudeau just went through the motions of a shuffle that had become inevitable as his cabinet had more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese. Then, something equally inevitable happened. As Trudeau presented a handful of joyous backbenchers as new ministers, far more had been left dangling. I...

(Trudeau has carried out four major cabinet shuffles: one in 2018, one in 2021, one in 2023, and another yesterday) The selection process does not bear close inspection. Of 153 Liberals, 30 were already in cabinet, 11 have said they are not running again and 40 to 50 are said to want the prime...

This is only from three months ago… There can be no other rational explanation for why the former finance minister is sticking around. None. Having fired a rocket directly at Justin Trudeau first thing Monday morning, she has now cleared the way for a run at the Liberal Party leadership. And...

Yet, they’re side by side with the Liberals… …& separated from the Conservatives by potentially approximately 200 seats or so. Singh's gradual effort to limit his alliance with the Liberals “hastened” this week (???) after Trudeau's finance minister quit, plunging the government into more...

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says the House of Commons should be recalled now that NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is finally vowing to bring forward a motion of non-confidence to take down the Liberal government…so you know that’s not gonna happen. It's unlikely that Governor General Mary...

You know you’re probably not doing your best as a leader to stem an ever-growing wave of hate in your country when another leader has to personally phone you up to tell you so. That’s what happened Thursday after a repeated attack on Beth Tikvah synagogue in Montreal. That’s the message that was...

The reality is that cabinet shuffles are a much bigger deal in what we’ll call “official Ottawa” compared to what’s going on in the lives of working people, trying to feed their families and pay the rent in the middle of an affordability crisis and runaway housing costs. More than a year of...

New Democrats pulled their puds support for the minority Liberal government on Friday, throwing the beleaguered Prime Minister’s tenure into further doubt just minutes before Justin Trudeau planned to shuffle his cabinet, etc… “The NDP will vote to bring this government down, and give Canadians...

The other parties are going to prop up the government when pigs fly. It will be interesting.
