How things look through my Canadian eyes. My view today may change tomorrow as I listen, talk, learn, and the world moves along. I'm open minded that way. Beliefs and facts are different things, and I never mistake the former for the latter.

Here's the thing & I've been telling it to US People I know for more than a decade. The NRA has 5m members. If the 217,600,000 US People in favour of gun control wanted, they could take over the NRA in a few years & turn it into a gun safety organization. No one wants to put in the effort.

Big deal. The court left the tariffs in place to keep up the damage to the US' former allies so Mad King FICUS could appeal. The way the US & US People are lying down for him was shocking at first, but not anymore.

Many nations of America have had royal weddings. Antigua & Barbuda, Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Granada, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and St Kitts & Nevis had them in 2011 and 2018. I think this article means to say "Is this the US' equivalent to a royal wedding?".

To be clear, Train-horn guy is just one of several of the illegal occupiers who never left after the illegal occupation. In case my wording made it sound like only one of the tantrum truckers has kept this up for the past 3 1/2 years - there is a group of them.

At 5:30 AM one of the tantrum-truckers (train horn guy) who has never left since the illegal occupation & still tormenting us did a slow roll down the 417 blasting his train-horn wake-up call to Centretown Ottawa. This happens at least 3 times a week. More if PP has a rally or wins a by-election.

US People aren't going to do a thing about it. The NRA has 5 million members. I've told US friends for 10+ years that if the 217,600,000 US People in favour of gun control wanted, they could take over the NRA in a few years & turn it into a gun safety organization.

I may be tilting at windmills, but I now do all I can to help US People see a world beyond their borders, that the internet is not "this country" or one country, & that it would be of benefit to think about things without these constraints.

Our PM's Kyiv speech was great, illustrating the bond of Ukraine & Canada. Pity he's forced to praise Mad King FICUS who wants to betray Ukraine, but in FICUS' dotage he's driven by personal revenge, so all world leaders must engage in the pantomime. No shame on them though - it's US Peoples' fault.

You can't expect a fast simple resolution. Be realistic about the situation & who the Prime Minister & his team have to deal with, from the Mad King to Nutlick to the vapid puppet Bessent. Be ever thankful we don't have whiny weasel PP who's never negotiated anything representing Canada.

The only land that Mad King FICUS can cede to Russia is Alaska or some other US territory. Anything else is betrayal of allies & rewarding invasion of a sovereign nation. The problem is, Mad King FICUS has betrayed every ally the US has since January, so today may not be any different.

Mad King FICUS said that some land will have to be given up to achieve peace. He's going to have to give Alaska back to the Land East of Ukraine then, because he certainly doesn't have any right to cede sovereign territory of our ally Ukraine (betraying both Ukraine & the Coalition of the Willing).
