Ok. Ford being civil. Right thing to do. The American Consul General should consider himself a lucky guy to be treated with such politeness given the circumstances.
Yes. America is our most important trading partner and(so far)our most important ally. And yes. We recognize the importance to the World of American Independence and should celebrate it. And yes. Generally speaking, we like our American friends and neighbours with whom we share and appreciate so many things.
Yet too many Americans do not reciprocate the feeling.
No matter. In spite of the insulting behaviour and comments of Trump and his ilk(“the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”), we must continue to be what we are: a civil society dedicated to solid community based values and respect for diversity, tolerance and differences of opinion. We must continue to build our Canadian way of life in the northern reaches of North America while being citizens of the world. It is our destiny and our obligation to those who came before us.

@RpsAgainstTrump Has he had a frontal lobotomy or what?

[Robert Noble🇨🇦🇺🇦 @gcca]

@MarkBourrie @jec79 Absolutely. But it needs to be sustained. As Charles Dickens wrote in a Tale of Two Cities: “ It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.” Plus ça change, plus c’est la mème chose.

The great(but very deaf)Madame Fanny La Fan of#Allo#Allo fame. Her singing was more egregiously inept than her daughter Edith Artois. In chorus they could clear a room with a few notes! Also known for her annoyed cane banging and spitting on the German occupiers. “Une grande resistante” and even greater comedienne!

@atrupar I’m ready to turn off Squawk Box every time cement appears. Oh just kidding! NOT!

Much as I respect Dr Rice and agree with her first three points, I disagree with her fourth point. President Trump has been manipulated by PM Netanyahu into thinking he could secure long term security in the Middle East by this “excursion” as he calls it. He is now stuck in the mire with an increasingly stubborn opponent. He is losing domestic and international political support for this endeavour particularly amongst some of his own supporters and the Gulf States. The only result perceptible at this point in time is increased Israeli prominence at the expense of the reputation and substance of Pax Americana. This Israeli prominence may be considered a “good thing” by some but the “excursion’s” impact on inflation and the national debt may rebound to significantly impact the prospects of the GOP in November’s midterm elections.

An American leader whom the children of the world can look up to.

@atrupar So many Americans represented by politicians like Banks who refuse to think for themselves and lazily espouse sycophancy as a political way of life. No wonder Congress is held in such low esteem in America.

The Searchers is John Ford’s magnum opus. John Wayne’s greatest role. A Western for the ages with so much going on that it requires several viewings preferably on a large screen to appreciate it fully. Complicated plot, extraordinary visuals and a cast of characters as real as you make’em.

@nexta_tv @JohnCleese Common sense and common purpose enters the realm of Hungaro-Ukrainian relations. A lot of work to do but what a good start.

Como dicimos en buen Québécois, SAR la Princesa de Asturias es una “Smart”.
A los veinte años, es culta, articulada y equilibrada como su madre SM la Reina Letizia; es de buen humor, buena compañera, inteligente y pleno de valentía como su padre SM el Rey. Representa su pueblo por vía de la proximidad y la integración y sobre todo la aceptación de sus valores profundos y su sentido común.

Unsurprisingly he hasn’t a clue what a professional diplomat is supposed to do. He’s never been one. After a mediocre career in Congress and a failed attempt to become Governor of Michigan, he became Chairman of the Michigan GOP i.e. a money bundler for Trump. He was a disaster as Ambassador to The Hague in Trump’s first term. And now we have to put up with this irresponsible, arrogant, boorish buffoon who thinks the summum of his responsibilities as Ambassador to Canada is to repeat his boss’ scurrilous annexation of Canada crap. He is a noisy, nosy figure trying to be relevant in the Canada-US context and failing as usual.
Just ignore him.
