Where Canada sits as the 25th year of the 21st century advances is way too precious a platform to be frittered away on corporate and individual greed, malignant attitudes to vulnerable people and migrants.  Canada has a record with similar lines to the US’ dismal government corruption by politicians and genocidal policies towards First Nations people.  The huge number of families that are separated by the 49th parallel are not sufficient to turn Canadian hearts to Washington or to whatever temporary capital the hosts of the bewitched nation might name. When the wickedness of American greatness begins to bruise and abuse Americans many of them may very well turn northwards for relief.  In any case being a sibling to Georgia, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, or Mississippi is most unattractive, and trading with the US is going to be the hard limit of necessary ties.

Take that back, mogulfelon

It is not surprising that a failed mogul and convicted felon in the United States’ government does not seem to know how states are added to the Union. Some people are desperate to show that crime pays.    A president has a shelf life, so his ducking the law is short-lived.  We may never hear the mogulfelons say “I am sorry” or “I was wrong”, and if they never do they can expect to have lots of solitary time to think about the meagre proceeds of crime.  Something else he does not seem to know, is if you steal from people in plain sight you are going to pay the price.
