As Charles and Camilla return to their natural habitats, I'm moved to post these thoughts on Canada and monarchy, published in Canada's History mag when Queen Elizabeth died. canadashistory.ca/explore/poli... #cdnpoli

The US ambassador is a trumpazoid menace, but when he implies that importing the king-for-a-day is a odd way to proclaim Canada's sovereign independence, he's not wrong, is he? tinyurl.com/wbaackz2

In a real parliament caucus would give the leader a mandate letter, not vice versa.

We base Canadian party leadership races on which campaign buys the most memberships. Then we are surprised when foreign (and other) agents say, hey, that's a good deal? #cdnpoli

The Dictionary of Canadian Biography now has up the biography of John Baker, "perhaps the last surviving Canadian slave," concluding a remarkable weekly series of enslavement biographies by Natasha Henry-Dixon. Worth the read! #cdnhist www.biographi.ca/en/bio/baker...

McCarthy Tétrault LLP has “paused” a much-heralded hiring program for Black and Indigenous law students in a move that some lawyers within the firm worry is the beginning of a wider effort to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion policies. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

How many American newspapers would run the front page headline from today's #torontostar: 'American betrayal hangs ominously over Zelenskyy'? In the body of the story, the word is 'treachery.' Well done Allan Woods and his editors.

Anything sooner than never would be too soon. Drawing in the British King would only confirm American delusions of Canada being colonized and in need of American "freedom." This is for Canadians to handle. #cdnpoli #maplecrown

Mark Carney is a leader who has the experience to lead through turbulent times, who understands the economy and the environment, and who can stand up for Canada. The stakes for our country could not be higher. If you agree, sign up to vote for @MarkJCarney. One day left! #LPC

Even in the 1770s, parliamentary views were more important than the king's. But I like the second recommendation a lot. Thanks, @spike2929.bsky.social
