Donald Trump has ditched MAGA isolationism in favour of the Monroe Doctrine, a 200-year-old foreign-policy roadmap that claims American power and influence over the Western Hemisphere. There are 35 sovereign states in the Americas, most of which are entirely or mostly in the Western Hemisphere...

I suspected Trump was going to attack ‘someone’ on Christmas day, but in all honesty, I thought it was gonna be Venezuela. President Donald Trump said on Dec. 25 that the U.S. military had attacked Islamic State targets in Nigeria, claiming the group had been targeting Christians in the region...

In hindsight, this is so Venezuelan Greenlandish. Sort of like a modern future Panama Canal? President Donald Trump announced on Monday plans to build a new “Trump-class” of battleships — larger, faster and “100 times more powerful” than any before — aimed at cementing U.S. naval dominance...

Well, this is a weird one. Canada’s relationship with royalty isn’t what it once was. Gone are the days of fawning over kings and queens, princes and princesses. Tabloid headlines and changing priorities have made an impact. http://apple.news/AZvX0dpsfT0u4mYVdqe9VHw Despite that, King Charles...

Is it this? Venezuela's wealth lies in its enormous petroleum and mineral deposits, most notably the world's largest proven oil reserves, a significant portion of which is the heavy crude oil found in the Orinoco Belt. The country also holds substantial natural gas reserves, the seventh-largest...

This thing sounds like it’s turning into a real monster. South of Kingston currently. potential for 10’ storm surges & 30”-50” of rain in parts of Jamaica. http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

This one’s gonna become political, so I might as well start a thread for it right here. There is outrage in parts of Ontario, after police in Lindsay laid charges against a homeowner after a break and enter on Monday morning. As Megan King reports, the incident is renewing conversations around...

U.S. shoppers ordering smaller goods from abroad are being met with waves of cancellation notices ahead of a key trade rule change ordered by the Trump administration. On Friday, the United States will end the nearly century-old de minimis exemption, which allowed items worth less than $800 to...

Well, I could be wrong, but I think they might both be nuclear powers. http://apple.news/Akmd8-ssXQZu5VG8JHONOpg India attacked nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistani Kashmir on Wednesday with at least three deaths reported, and Pakistan said it was mounting a response as the worst fighting in...

Well, we do have a new Prime Minister in Canada, put in place by about 1/3rd of 1% of the Canadian population through the Liberal Party leadership race. Parliament, prorogued by Trudeau, remains prorogued as of this point, so the “elected” representation of Canadians as a whole remains...

Ok, I stumbled across something really weird. I was googling the definition of “economic coercion” and ended up at this site: http://www.stimson.org/2024/fight-against-economic-coercion-for-japan/ There was a link in blue, that you could click on to get the definition by the G7 nations for...

Ok…not sure where to put this, & this came up when Pacific Palisades (LA) was burning…when Trump was saying he’d just open the “faucet” from Canada because he’s the Orange Jesus Art of the Deal Hyper-Diplomatic Wonderboy. Anyway, about that. I’m assuming he’s referring to the Columbia River...

Ok, sort of a serious question here, with the intent of being serious, but it’s hard to take it serious…. Freeland is going to lose out to Mark Carney, who is Trudeau’s pick, & lots of the Trudeau cult (from cabinet ministers to backbenchers) are going to back him, ‘cuz it’s 2015-ish or...

Just about though this YouTube vid. Been play’n while making & eating supper: Didn’t even touch on Crow Rate, or Quebec/Ontario protected Dairy/Poultry cartel, etc…the cheese & maple syrup mafia’s, but definitely worth the watch.

We are potentially at least a year out plus to the next Canadian federal election. Just out of curiosities sake, knowing that we have some astute followers of the minutia of Canadian politics here….& that the only poll that matters is the one that happens on the election days themselves… I’m...

Not sure where to post this, or where I’m even going with this, but if anyone else has a similar interest/hobby/etc…maybe there can be an exchange of information and ideas. If you have Aquarium questions, I can pose them to her… Being a member of the Regina Aquarium Society, if she doesn’t know...

Outdated Political spectrum graphs aside, are the Liberals or the Conservatives closest to the Canadian political center? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Canada Canada is a politically moderate country, with a mostly moderate voter base, so the large Conservative lead in the polls...

It’s picked up speed and popularity as a phenomenon, and from the outside looking in, it’s pretty interesting. A Columbia student, identified on social media as Johannah King-Slutzky, a paid instructor and PhD candidate studying “theories of the imagination and poetry as interpreted through a...
