One story is easy to shrug off as nothing, when added to other stories of Russia & India recent arctic agreement, China & Japan incident … it makes one stop to ponder

Yes Canada didn’t want to be a military force and we could make that decision aftwr WW1 b/c we had Britain and after WW2 b/c of the US

There is evidence that the US did not want Canada to have a strong military to threaten it and limited our ability to build a military manufacturing industry

Only 1 in 5 Trump voters believe he is responsible for their economic reality

Or is that still too many Trump Only voters?

The wealthy in the US and politicians in DC want the EU broken up because it’s too strong as a united trading block

They want to treat European nations like they treat Canada - as a vassal state they can profit from

The EU must stand strong against these voices who want to weaken them

Why, when the GTA is clogged with cars and more and more of us want to stop driving into Toronto, do they make it so difficult for people who are unfamiliar with their procedures to get information?

Why don’t people use the go train?
