Nor am I suggesting evil people seem to live long lives.On the contrary, I am thrilled that our 78-year-old president has sugg...

All it takes is an aggressive new government in the stronger state and a relatively equal relationship of economic and military cooperation can suddenly turn exploitative, even threatening.Since Donald Trump’s second inauguration, this realisation has been dawning across the west, but nowhere more disconcertingly than in Canada.
