Decades and decades of a national policy and zeitgeist that amounts to 'nobody needs to care about social studies' and we're now in an unwinnable war with a foreign country whose culture and leadership we did not understand based around geography we ignored. 🤷‍♂️

Dump the F35 and go all in on the Gripen. America just ran out of its own missiles - Canada's arms orders will be absolutely last when need them. Why on Earth would we chose to buy 100% American when we have an offer to build it all here - and beef up NATO arms overall capacity.

A century of ever closer ties, intermarriage, wars fought together, things built together, comes to a close. That's ok. When Canada and The US started pulling together 100 years ago, we were really a province of the British Empire. Just to show how things change. Our values are diverging again.

It makes a lot of sense now why America's key ally (Israel) blocked the Cardinal in Jerusalem from Good Friday commemorations at the Holy Sepulchre. Seems to me to be part of the overall US strategy to weaken the Vatican and set up a parallel "Avignon papacy".

The president is keeping his distance from the first American pope — dodging a moral reckoning on migrants and war, and dreading a spotlight he can’t control.
