Senate Republicans have voted 14 times to continue Trump's war with Iran. They could lower your prices by ending his war—but they won't.

Mark Carney (Harvard/Oxford) earned an MPhil and DPhil in economics. William T Kelley, a Wharton prof described Trump, a student there, as “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.” Companies Trump controlled had 6 bankruptcy filings from 1991-2009. Who will you trust with financial policy? 🇨🇦

Just signed an agreement on closer cooperation on sensitive security/defence projects. Diversifying beyond the US: building trade, supply chains and partnerships with Europe. 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇪🇺

Greenland and Denmark played Trump like a fiddle. He’s acting like he scored some big new deal, but it’s basically the same arrangement that’s been in place since 1951 but with the recognition of territorial integrity and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇨🇦

David Hamid @eurobishop.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Greenlandic newspaper Serm Sermitsiaq reports that the US-Denmark-Greenland deal looks remarkably like the defence framework the US already had with Denmark and Greenland since 1951. After all Trump’s drama, the agreement appears to resemble the existing arrangement “neither more nor less.” 🇬🇱🇩🇰🇨🇦

David Hamid @eurobishop.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Discrepancy continues:Trump describes US rights under the agreement as US control; Copenhagen & Nuuk describe those rights as expanded US security access exercised within unchanged Danish sovereignty and Greenlandic self-determination. We shall see the facts really are when the text is released! 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇨🇦

A clash over detail of Greenland deal. Trump: US has gained permanent control over Greenland’s security. Denmark/Greenland: Sovereignty remains intact as does Greenland’s territorial integrity & the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination. Will the agreement clarify this contradiction? 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇨🇦

Trump’s tariffs were to bring manufacturing home. Instead, ironically, according to the Toronto Star some US firms are heading north. Wildlife Acoustics says producing in Ontario is almost 30% cheaper than in the US. Howell Ski Bindings is planning production in Quebec. They did the maths. 🇨🇦 won.

UK’s weekly “the Spectator”: The US is waging a trade war with Canada: a country with which we share a close alliance, a cultural heritage and a sovereign, but the UK has said nothing. Standing with Canada against American intimidation is morally correct and in Britain’s own long-term interests. 🇨🇦

Trump boasts as if Venezuela’s oil is already pouring into US cars. But turning reserves into production to fill US gas tanks will take years and billions of US$. And what about the deeply colonial arrogance of stealing another country’s natural wealth? Venezuela’s oil belongs to Venezuelans. 🇨🇦

Trump has ordered a substantial reduction in US–South Korean military exercises, praising Kim Jong Un’s North Korea as “unthreatening and respectful” while sayingSeoul’s refusal to join his Iran campaign. Weakening an ally to placate a nuclear-armed dictatorship is reckless foreign policy. 🇨🇦

This is absolutely bananas. Trump says we’re suspending exercises with South Korea because of his “really good relationship” with Kim Jong-un. North Korea is nuclear-armed, threatens South Korea, and is actively helping Russia wage war against Ukraine.

The moment smoke crossed the border Trump reached for tariffs. Turning a climate crisis into a trade dispute won’t prevent the next wildfire or clear the air. Canada can improve forestry management, using Indigenous knowledge, perhaps. But drought, heat and wildfires are climate not border issues. 🇨🇦
