Hockey Canadian, Never 51, vs Trump and co.

Clever! Give this guy an Order of Canada.

Trump is being played by Putin www.thespec.com/opinion/edit...

Trump is being played like a Moscow circus act. How tragic for the Ukraine - how terrifying for the world: substack.com/@mackaycarto...

Things just aren’t going to Pierre Poilievre’s plans: substack.com/@mackaycarto...

The Feds announced high speed rail between Toronto and Montreal today. Call me cynical, LRT was first announced in Hamilton around when I drew the 2nd cartoon in 2008 and ground hasn’t even broken. I’ll believe both projects when I see them done.

I don’t think so. The President's use of real estate tactics on a global scale is damaging trust and will have lasting diplomatic consequences for the U.S.
