In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “The greatest favor Mr. Trump has done for Alberta separatists has not been to promote an independent Alberta, but to undermine a sovereign Canada,” Curtis Gillespie writes.

Canada here. Sorry, we can talk when your country overthrows the corrupt criminal in the White House and regains it's status as an ally and a democracy.

Canada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers. I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.

I’m not too embarrassed that we are losing to Iran. It’s a big boy country with missiles and drones and so forth ran by stone cold killers. That’s NFL ball for you. I am a little embarrassed we are also losing to algae.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Just in case you were wondering how Kimberly Guilfoyle is doing as Ambassador to Greece, I'd say just FANTASTIC:

I am no procurement expert (looks @plagasse.bsky.social) but if the US is going to put pressure on Canada to purchase American technology, this can't be helping the case? Not everything will be affected, but it shows the risks of dealing with an unpredictable US?

2. Ties to Russia... not good! Being anti-Ukraine fell flat for Orban despite a huge propaganda effort. 3. Ties to Trump... also not good!

Trump: "You want to see a stock market go down? Let a couple nuclear bombs be dropped on us, then you'll see a stock market go down. So the stock market has not gone very much at all. It's gone down a little bit. Much less than I thought. And frankly the gas hasn't gone up as much as I thought."
