Not worth our time. As Carney bored media and viewers with his television news conference address with the Latvian PM, redundantly Carney rehashed how NATO works which everyone knows. At the same time the Top Stories scrolled by on the chyron feed with the important story “Lost Cat found on BC Ferry!” Of the 2 […]

TIME FOR ACTION  How long will justice be denied in Canada? Continuous shootings and gang activity in some cities. Home invasions on a frequent basis. A frequent revolving door at bail hearings. It is ironic that criminals have no rules when committing crimes but the law-abiding citizen has rules when it comes to defending themselves. […]

BEEF STEW Excellent piece by Brian Lilley on why Canada wasn’t invited to the White House meeting (“Under Carney, Canada still doesn’t matter on international stage,” Aug. 18). I have my own thoughts on the subject. Donald Trump is in a major snit regarding Canada because, unlike most of the other European representatives at that […]

They must meet our crash and safety standards, contain some Canadian content such as Canadian-made tires, and be winter-proven. We will apply a reasonable import tariff to […]

He also won’t stand up to Donald Trump.  If the Prime Minister next takes […]
