I wish his return flight had experienced an emergency, landed in St. John's, RCMP held him until a charter flight to Den Haag was arranged, then escorted him until he was arrested for war crimes trial in the ICC.

I totally agree. I have tried very hard to ground my ten novels (soon to be eleven, on Amazon) in real science. I'm an engineer so that might explain it. Most people are clearly seeking escapist visual fantasy, and won't pick up a book. Yes, I am frustrated. But I'm going to do a twelve novel.

Before an outright shutoff of energy sales, install an export tax. They need it, make it hurt, use the tax to reduce our pain.

When I was twelve or so, Fergie drove up from Chatham to a banquet that my grandfather organized. He gave an inspiring speech and my younger brother and I were later able to chat with him and get his autograph. A true role model for Canadian kids.

My sci-fi novel Wolf Slayer (on Amazon) might be of interest. Set well in the future, but is a parody of the current mess, and expands upon your prediction.

In Day 1, July 1, 1916, the Royal Newfoundland Regiment was virtually wiped out in an ill conceived frontal assault under British command.

The speaker needs to stop, and ask, "Should I continue, Mister President?" Then louder, "Mister President?" Then just sit down and force a scene.

He made martyrs out of them. They were religious leaders as well as political leaders. Totally naive to think more people will now take to the streets calling for a regime change. Especially when bombs are falling in the streets.

There is also a tunnel owned jointly by the cities of Windsor and Detroit. The line up at the Ambassador Bridge will soon move over to the tunnel. Nobody but Trump and the billionaire owner of the Ambassador Bridge support this extortion ploy.

The longer he stays in power, the more the rest of the world will believe a signed deal with USA is not worth the paper it is written on.
