Smarter people than me have suggested that’s a better way to look at the Weimar Republic. Not left or right but rather pro-Republic or anti-republic.

I wish Starmer and the British people well while dealing with Trump. But at the same time as a Canuck, I’m quite pleased so far how Carney is handling Trump, and the two PMs have very different approaches.

You don’t criticize the maximum leader, especially in public.

Next time the NDP holds the balance of power like now no more supply and confidence agreements. Either a coalition with Cabinet seats or they go as a minority government issued by issue vote by vote. Singh sold out too cheap. Not the only one to be fair.

Polite disagree. He didn’t build the party and then was destroyed in this storm.

Not until Trump and his project is an embarrassing footnote of history

For Canada free trade with the USA is the low hanging fruit and there will be incredible temptation in three years to hope that the new occupant of the White House will go back to the old way of business. But I think Carney is right and the old way is gone even if there are reverses in the future

Tempting. But I teach so 🤷♂️

Tom, when you say “powdered garlic” does that mean the fine white powder, ahem, or merely granulated garlic?

Not with Aluminum or below world price oil. As for cars that is part of a deal that Trump negotiated and signed in 2020. The deal has mechanisms to resolve issues. So this trolling and tariffing is just cheap populist politics in the end. It will work as well as Smoot Hawley in the end.

This sums up the MAGA cult for me
“Since I am an immature and wicked man, war and unrest appeal to me more than good bourgeois order. Brutality is respected, the people need wholesome fear. They want to fear someone. They want someone to frighten them and make them shudderingly submissive.”

This is the real problem they’re utterly fact and reality resistant. They would look around at the smoking ruins of America Society and claim it was all a great success.

It was a distraction in order to divert attention from the Tate Brothers returning to the USA.

What if this is partly just a distraction from the fact that Musk has just taken over the US government's payment systems?

The US Democrats have been culturally "protectionist" since as long as I've watched.
I was initially against NAFTA, but in time I realized it meant Canada became more prosperous .
The problem is, as we are finding in the last two weeks, too many eggs in one basket.
What is independence worth?

Canadian here, thanks and we know that, but you can't give in to a bully.

I’ve only done a couple of connections at FRA but I thought it was fine behind security and a total mess before, which is the opposite of AMS.

Good luck with "when they realize they mistake they made" I've talked a lot with Brexiters the last five years and there is no acknowledgment of what a mess it's made. All they say is that's because we need more.
MAGAs will sit in smoking ruins and cheer Trump

Do you have any comment regarding Wurman’s comments?
I’m an uninformed bystander about all this but I was a bit shocked by his certitude given the question.

I’ve not read that one but I’ve read a couple of others of his, I like them but he can be quite controversial
