Supposedly Miami-Cubans are turning on the administration as their brothers and sisters are being detained and deported by ICE. That's a big bloc of voters that voted Trump last time out. I feel like this sort of death by a thousand cuts - Cubans in Miami, farmers in the Midwest - will do the...

I quite like Cochrane but I didn't think he'd stoop to such a level as to paraphrase me. 😋

I won't be handing out flowers here but he's not totally wrong - much of Canada's neoliberal existence, including our underspending on military, is thanks to the US being world police and the major geopolitical force for the 20th century. Outside of a few select points (Iraq, as one) we broadly...

Trump is a symptom of the American system. Him being removed from office doesn't change the fact that the system allowed for him and will continue to allow for others like him. Without a major overhaul they will continue to democratically slide backwards.

I hadn't seen this, thanks. Definitely, but an easy solution would be to either raise or lower the pathway b/w LRT and VIA stations so people aren't crossing a road. For me, I think it's inexcusable that the transfer between the current LRT and VIA station is outdoors. They should have been...

They really missed the boat on integrating the LRT station better. I'm sure there's a reason why it is where it is but it seems so much smarter to build it between the two looping overpasses north of Tremblay Station so that it can have a south entrance to VIA and a north entrance to Max Keeping...

Fantastic because that narrow walkway on Queen was miserable.

Congress doesn't do anything anyway and anyone who thinks we'd get the right to vote is a fool.

Believe the official Danish position is that the US/USD is too unstable and too unpredictable to continue relying on.

I'm not suggesting it would be a substantial number of passengers but there are flights in/out of YOW and YUL that the other doesn't entirely service and ALTO would replace any of those connecting YOW<->YUL flights otherwise. There have been times i've tried going to Ottawa from wherever and...

Seems like zero possibility the old Ottawa Union Station is used for HSR for the reasons you highlight. It would slow down trips substantially and would remind me of the VIA trains in Quebec City that enter and then reverse out. Lengthy and needless delay. IMO, Tremblay would be the ideal, but...

On the wake of the leaked Macron messages, Macron has called for increased Chinese investment in EU to replace American investment. Denmark is also selling all US treasuries tied to its national pension fund. EU holds 40% of foreign ownership of US treasuries I thought about this idea last...

Supposedly there's been preliminary discussion of UEFA (European) nations pulling out of this year's World Cup in the US.

Impressive the amount of water Ford is willing to carry for American automakers despite clearly digging a hole too deep.
