South Korea is going off the rails and becoming an international train wreck. The ROK is supplying fuel to aggressor Russia and is thinking about recalling its ambassador to defender Ukraine over a made-up incident regarding North Korean POWs. This is insane self-harm.

A separatist party has been elected to form government in Quebec, bringing with it the looming disaster of a third referendum to break up Canada. There will be smiles within the Putin regime and the russia-backed Trump regime as a parochial Quebec drops out of Team Canada.

Today, I hope Quebec voters understand the real threat to Quebec and its home in Canada is rashism (russian fascism) and the incipient fascism of the russia-backed Trump regime of the USA. The best defence is Canadian unity, strong federalism and citizens who value democracy.

Alexander Ovechkin, a propagandist for the russian terrorist state, announced he will retire from the NHL at the end of this season. This is unlikely to stop calls for Ovechkin to immediately be fired because of his fanatical support for russia's genocidal war on Ukraine.

In 2016, Putin puppet Trump sought help from a U.S. enemy to destroy American democracy and the rule of law – "Russia, if you're listening…" In 2026, Alberta and Quebec separatists seek help from Canada's enemy – the Russia-backed Trump regime – to destroy Canadian unity.

FT reports the United States will receive a shipment of potash from Belarus soon. Under Putin puppet Lukashenka, Belarus is an integral part of the russian terrorist state. Under Putin puppet Trump, the U.S. initiated hostilities against Canada – a source of much cheaper potash.
