Polliver (whatever.. ?Polivier) wants us to go to war with Iran
which is a losing proposition in general and particularly toxic
given the current situation.

Doug Ford, however, has some Right Ideas and I'd vote for him
before Trudolt for PM.

Doug, IFF Drump wants to tear up the paper on NAFTA mebbe we
need to reassess the paperwork that gets ships thru the Welland
Canal... easier that recycling the copper that sends power to
keep the aircon goin' and pays the MICies tab down south...

Still, tho' I'm thinking that ENRON's criminal infrastructure
prob'ly should be recycled... sell it to China for scrap
metal.

"....when Trudeau’s team announced a $1.3bn plan to shore up border
security and surveillance, the president-elect portrayed the move as a
personal victory."

In my youth we had an almost totally open border requiring mutual
visitors to barely slow down at the checkpoint and the looney was at
times worth 1.25us (yes! even though officially it never got above
1.07). Whatever has gone for a shit has to be related to that former
relationship. Patrolling a 4000km border is a wet dream (just ask the
Greeks), the solution is to not host in the first place what ruffles
feathers stateside.

Although the world is run by power and power-relationships (51st states
beware!) Trump was not elected by the people but by the Clintons, Biden,
and Harris; ditto for Poilievre IF he ever gets in, Trudeau will have
assured that eventual victory. I keep telling people to stop
bad-mouthing Trump (a 2-watt half-life second only to Bush jr. and
compared to whom Putin the KGB thug is an intellectual monument) because
in the above and uncircumventable context that only sinks the democrats
even lower. We are about to taste a very similar dish in Canada :-(

I have lived in the Niagara Peninsula for years. As teen we used to go
"over the river" frequently and rarely had problems at the border. They
usually just asked citizenship and where we live. I got turned back from
the US twice because the guys I were with were rejected. One was my best
friend who was born in Germany. They wouldn't let him in because he
didn't have his passport. The other time I was a friend who was a little
too much of a character for them. We had walked across the Rainbow
bridge and he just walked through and said "Born in St.Catharines" and
kept going. They grabbed him and sent us both back.


The exchange rate was always bouncing back and forth but nothing
drastic. Prices over there were a lot cheaper for a lot of things. When
I was 15 my mother gave me money to get a pair of shoes. We went
downtown and got the bus to Niagara Falls, walked over, I got a better
pair of shoes, a shirt and we went for a hamburger and beer with the
same money.
