- The televised gathering in the White House of President Trump and his cabinet members bending over backwards to fawn all over him is truly something to behold.
- I think G&M editorials are often incisive but this one is just plain silly
- Il faut continuer de parler haut et fort en faveur de cette cause si importante qui sauve tellement de vies
- Such an important cause that saves so many livesAn open letter calls for Canada to reassert its leadership on the global stage regarding the Ottawa Treaty banning #landmines 🇨🇦 Canada must stand firm in defending this treaty that has saved countless lives and protected vulnerable communities worldwide.🌏lapresse.ca/dialogue/opini…
- To sum it up: President Trump is convinced his tariff strategy will work although he concedes there will be pain and it will take time. The crucial question is HOW LONG Americans will give him to lower their costs and create the jobs he promised, before their patience runs out.
- Just finished reading « Is Earth Exceptional? » which asks the obvious questions: how did life come to be on Earth and are we alone in this vast universe. I learned a lot
- What I find more difficult to fathom than President Trump’s ignorance of the consequences of his tariff policy (domestically & globally) is the fact that a majority of Americans elected him. He is clearly not a student of history, nor are, it would seem, a majority of Americans.
- Chef-on-surtout tonight. White fish and cherry tomates (and all sorts of other little goodies)
Replace surtout by duty - I came across this sentence in an article in the NYT written by Britta Lokting and I liked it: "Quiet the mind, and find pleasure in small acts and observations"
- Quote 2 last week from Prime Minister Mark Carney: “It’s clear the US is no longer a reliable partner. It is possible that with comprehensive negotiations, we could reestablish an element of confidence but there will be no going backwards"
- Quote 1 last week from Prime Minister Mark Carney: “The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over”
- I had to change a tire on my car today. First time in decades. Didn't even know about the keyed nut they now use to prevent tire theft. That's what that funny adapter sitting in my globebox is for. Live and learn.
