Went to the local grocery store to buy some chips to stress eat. When I saw my favourite brand was American I groaned so loud the clerk stopped, commiserated with me, promised they would be stocking more Cdn products, & handed me UK brand chips. I walked out feeling better than when I walked in.

75 years of diplomacy, hard work and a commitment to liberal democracy has just been flushed down the toilet by Trump, Vance and their MAGA idiots. Here is my final dispatch from the NATO meetings: Where Canada and Europe goes from here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Since last April when I launched "the Wood-Lot", we have now reached 50 posts, so that is a lot of essays and reviews. I'm personally writing ten poetry reviews for the upcoming Spring publishing season which I will be putting up in April!

It’s up to us, the people on the ground, to stop this madness! On Friday, activists in Haifa and Tel Aviv took to the streets to talk with the public about the ceasefire. And we haven’t stopped protesting across the country for the return of every hostage and end to the war on Gaza. Full deal now.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.

A thing to keep in your back pocket if Poilievre and the Conservatives start trying to distance themselves from their ideological bedfellows in the United States: Just this past November Poilievre was fundraising off an Alex-Jones-level conspiracy theory about people being forced to eat bugs.

It bears repeating that Russia invaded Ukraine. We all saw it. The war would end in an instant if Putin stopped his aggression.

Musk has repeatedly encouraged Canadians to support PP. He will let him steal Canada's rare earth minerals for a song. PP will cancel Canadas low orbit satellites and subsidize Musks Starlink. PP will hand over our resources,our water,open the door for US-style healthcare that enriches billionaires.
