Kirsten Hillman, Ambassador of Canada to the United States, joins The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg following the Canadian election, April 2025, to speak about US/Canada issues. Speaking as a Canadian, I think she represents us very well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wbwx...

Getting voters to care about foreign aid is a tough sell, I know. But Trump's decimation of USAID is going to make the world poorer, more dangerous, and sicker. Other countries need to step up. www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

The 22 Minutes Election Special included bits with Green, NDP and Liberal leaders. All appear likeable. CPC's Poilievre is notably absent. Possibly his handlers thought it an impossible feat to make Poilievre seem likable. The charming Mark Carney bit starts 32 minutes in. youtu.be/5psgJFXPpwE?...

Since 1945, American Universities have been envied worldwide for their Government-funded research. Hard to justify via corporate R&D, frontier science is vital to our long-term health, wealth, & security. To withhold University funding is to amputate the engines that Make America Great.

What does the expression “a loose dog won't surf” mean? Absolutely nothing. But if you type that into Google, AI Overviews will not only confirm that your gibberish is a real saying, it will also tell you what it means and how it was derived. Oh AI...

A BBC reporter asked Trump about Canada's election today in the oval office. Trump said little about the election. Instead, after managing to stay silent on Canada for several weeks, Trump today let loose on tariffs, the 51st state, and more. www.bbc.com/news/videos/...

Poilievre won’t let journalists travel with him, won’t take questions from certain media, won’t take follow-up questions, won’t get a security clearance This is not the behaviour of a trustworthy statesman who can be trusted to lead Canada We need to make sure he doesn’t get the chance

"When Poilievre has criticized Mr. Trump, he has been careful to limit his comments to tariffs, Mr. Wesley said. Poilievre has avoided mentioning other Trump policies, partly because of similarities with his own, including [a] pledge to fight against woke ideology..." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/w...
