“Mr. Trump’s tariff offensive has a clear purpose: to demonstrate who is dominant and who must submit. As a U.S. counterpart told me during the U.S.M.C.A. negotiations in 2018, we are 10 times bigger than you, so we should get our way 10 times more than you do.“ www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/o...

After dinner at Stoop Your Head (Skerries) the sky put on a show on the way back.

spectacular sunset with Skerries Harbour in the foreground. slightly obscured sun, darker clouds low on the horizon, just above the sun, then lighter heavily clouds fluffed over blue sky at top. looks like a funeral bulletin pic.

I went for a walk this morning and I guess I dropped my hat. Six hours later we came upon it - someone left it on a window sill by the sidewalk.

Low tide had us walking far out towards the Irish Sea. Such pretty patterns, including on the compass jellyfish we were dodging.

The whole Gordie Howe Bridge story is so fascinating. Some day, it will be a great book (and should be a movie). At the end of the day, it was a Canadian act of will after being resisted on many U.S. fronts since the beginning. Globe and Mail gift article www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/57b5a15...

Canada to mark milestone opening of Gordie Howe bridge without U.S.

Canada will split net bridge and crossing-related revenues with the U.S. for the first 15 years, with no explicit provision that it be compensated first

Remember Peter Navarro invented a fake expert ("Ron Vara") to quote in his own books, served a 4-month prison sentence in 2024 for contempt of Congress over Jan 6, and pushed unproven covid cures. I know, it's hard to keep up.

Peter Navarro claims that Canadian officials are "some of the most dishonest people I've ever met. They stab you in the back ... they're screwing us"

Where does #Winnipeg sit in the Urban Stress Index? We are ranked as having "severe burden", worse than many American cities but a bit better than Canadian "prestige" cities. www.urbanstressindex.com/cities/winni...

Within Canada, Winnipeg sits below Montreal, Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, and Halifax, but above Quebec City and Edmonton. That position matters because it helps anchor the national story. If Winnipeg, which is not usually treated as one of Canada’s glamour markets, still posts a USI above 50, then the problem is not confined to the country’s biggest prestige cities. Instead, it suggests that the national cost structure has become broadly compressed: rent may be lower in secondary markets, but food remains high and incomes are not strong enough to make those cities truly comfortable alternatives.

As we work toward the full employment inclusion of persons experiencing disability in Canada, CASE is proud to affirm the importance of Disability Pride Month in aiming to change the way people think about disability. https://www.supportedemployment.ca/disability-pride-month/

The next U.S. inauguration is exactly 2 1/2 years away today. Lord knows what will happen between now and then. For now, we can trust then as far as we can throw them.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that will impose tariffs of 50 per cent on a wide range of Canadian exports, a dramatic ramping up of his trade war against his northern neighbour. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...
