Mark Carney built a global profile in 2026 by standing up to President Trump. If some prediction-market traders and admirers are right, the Canadian PM could end the year with the Nobel Peace Prize and Time magazine's Person of the Year....

Pretty clear to me there’s a very good case against this man for mass murder, and I’m saying that in as measured a fashion as I can. He’s order the killing of 234 people under no plausible war or legal justification. I am skeptical he will ever face legal accountability for til his but he should.

You’ll notice that the same American state media who attacked President Biden relentlessly over his age refuse to report on the orange felon illegally stealing millions of taxpayer dollars to fund campaign ads. They continue to deliberately fail democracy.

They have so many powers, but they don't even try to use any of them. The only power they might use is War, but they only use because the US tells them to. It's a joke, 35 years of being paid in Westminster and they have done nothing.
