The United States has struck Larak Island in southern Iran in the first attack against the country since late July, a US official has confirmed to Al Jazeera. http://apple.news/AakN7J6AZRqOZR7Wdfn6A1A Tehran vowed to retaliate for Sunday’s attack. The strikes risk renewing the military...

Absolutely! So far they haven’t directly (These are finished vehicles) but it’s coming, I’m assuming, as the input costs for manufacturing (steel, aluminum, etc…) go up for these finish products the prices will go up, and the price of diesel is definitely up, and the repair costs on parts is...

U.S. President Donald Trump shared a news article that stated Canada is ‘on notice’ two days after the U.S. inked a “deal” with Venezuela over its oil reserves. In a Truth Social post on Sunday, Trump shared a news article on the announcement with the headline: “Trump’s historic oil ‘deal’ with...

That’s your opinion, versus the actual definition of what a marginal sea is. Nuclear submarines, oil tankers, container shipping and cruise ships all traversing the Salish Sea does not change it’s geography. I’m still not sure where you’re going with bringing up the Salish Sea in the first place...

That doesn’t fit the economic model generally. Backhauls work when they are along the beaten path that you want to be on without diverging you dramatically off the route you need to be on. Generally, most manufacturing for the things that we haul is One Direction from the US to Canada, and...

Geographically marginal. The Strait of Hormuz is geographically tiny…not economically tiny. The Salish Sea is considered a marginal sea (specifically a marginal inland sea) by the metric of its geographic enclosure and oceanographic connectivity. A marginal sea is a partially enclosed body of...

Almost 9000kms & I’m in commercial transport, with 100% of what we haul all coming from US manufacturers into Canada. Down empty and back loaded. I’m very aware. Yeah, the only country we are physically connected to and every other market is across an ocean from us. We are uniquely the most...

After years of advocacy by scientists, environmentalists, and local tribes, the name was officially approved by geographic boards on both sides of the border. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names approved it in November 2009, and then the Geographical Names Board of Canada followed with formal...

Of course I am, to a certain extent. Carney is doing both at the same time. It’s not an either/or situation. It’s politics. Carney & Trump both are. Do you see it otherwise? Was there a deal to be had a year ago? I wouldn’t call capitulation like the other 190-ish countries to Trumps threats...

We shouldn’t reduce ourselves to Trumps pettiness. If Democrats flip Republican-held seats in Ohio and Iowa while retaining Michigan, they will almost certainly net the four seats total needed to take control of the Senate for President Donald Trump’s final two years. Combined with other...

Maybe the first time with the whole Gulf of America thing…but this isn’t the first time and it now just looks sad and pathetic with a side of immature childishness from somebody who’s never been put in their place before due to their privileged upbringing so they’ve never really had to mature...

Carney played to his audience that voted him into office. I voted for Poilievre but that’s neither here nor there.

John Ratcliffe, the CIA director, flew to Moscow this week to warn Vladimir Putin against attacking any member of the alliance – something that increasingly appeals to the Russian president, according to recent intelligence reports. Bogged down in Ukraine, Moscow has escalated its hybrid attacks...

Why was Iraq invaded if the Saudi’s did it? The official version is, regarding your five Jews, who worked for a moving company, a thorough FBI investigation concluded that while their behavior was highly inappropriate, they had no prior knowledge of or involvement in the attacks. They were...

I’m gonna have to take your word for it. I’ve read about the opium wars, but….

Ok. Then, because 16 of the 21 Flight Attendants that day where Saudi’s, & credit was taken by Osama bin Laden (a Saudi), Bush Jr invaded Iraq? Let’s Roll!!! Is that what you were thinking I was thinking?

I call it an invitation to open crime and a complete blind eye as long as it’s not in somebody else’s neighbourhood. Somebody is minutes away from getting robbed above. Because they’re still standing up more or less they’ll at least wake up and still have their shoes and pants. Our Pitty...

The City Of Regina is trying a different approach now, in a neighbourhood where the city counsellors and police department employees don’t reside. Without consulting the neighbourhood residents and homeowners, they’ve selected one park to not enforce City Of Regina byelaws against permanent...

It is trolling though, just a distraction and a flex that isn’t working. Look over there…& not at what’s really important in front of you sort of thing.

It’s not a hatred of Trump though, it’s a recognition of the role that he is blatantly playing.
