I’ve thought since November 2024 thought 5 eyes should be 4 eyes, NORAD now is a dinosaur since Canada will never be able to trust USAmerica again. Scrap NORAD. It is now G6. We now know US and Russia are allies.
Love your sensible commentaries. Here’s a question I’d like to have answered; how is it that Canada and Mexico are tasked with babysitting the fentanyl problem while the States seriously reduced (via Doge), the staff of the FBI and the CIA whose drug problems fall under their jurisdiction? Smells bad, to me.
As an American, what I witnessed on Friday was soul crushing. I wanted so much to not be an American citizen at that point. It was horrifying. We are encouraging everyone to donate $ directly to the government of Ukraine: u24.gov.ua
Trump is clearly on the side of Russia and rumors speak to his company allegedly laundering money through Russian oligarchs for years. We are hoping someone actually cracks this story. We are also hoping that our congress grows a spine…. WTF??? Thanks for speaking truth, and I’m sorry about the tarrifs tomorrow! Keep boycotting the red/swing states!!
Do not equalize Trump and America. Do not equalize Zelensky and Ukraine. America and Ukraine are big countries, not small personalities.
Zelensky and Trump have a lot in common. Both are 4 times draft dodgers, TV performers, serial liars, grifters, tax evaders, putin and dictators admirers, ego maniacs who don't give a damn about their countries and people. The only real difference between them is size and age.
keep up the good work Charlie I wish the rest of our elected reps would react like you. You are a Canadian hero and I will be very sorry to see you leave the house.
Hi Charlie, please keep sounding the alarm, in Canada and abroad. This escalated, made-for-tv- moment was done specifically for Putin. They wanted to humiliate President Zelenskyy and thought he would sign the minerals deal anyway. I imagine things are going to get much worse here in America. The GOP bows down to his every whim. He's methodically eliminating the free press. The courts, especially the Supreme Court, does his bidding. He should be arrested and tried for treason, but with his kiss-ass Pam Bondi as his attorney general, that's just not going to happen. It appears to me that we've lost our democracy already.
Charlie … thank you for your steady, reasoned and insightful feedback. I’m a Canadian who (embarrassingly) also has US citizenship. The threat to annex, absorb or attack Canada is offensive and worrying. During the campaign, Trump told people what he was going to do … think back to “I’ll be a dictator on Day One.” Sadly, for those lacking critical thinking skills, many overlooked the one word was missing from that message … BEGINNING on day one. On Friday, Trump confirmed his agenda and loyalty. Now the hard work begins in earnest to undo what Trump voters have set the in motion.
So, if Russia can import North Korean troops into the war, maybe some NATO members (count Canada in that crowd) could take off their NATO hats and openly and publicly send some support, logistics,supply and engineering and medical/hospital units to hearten and help the population and the men and women of the fearless Ukranian Armed Forces to push back (and more) against the now clearly American-supported evil they combat.
For the next few years (hopefully) I don't think NATO will have much clout with the orange monster trying his best to destroy NATO so he can suck up to putin.
Spot on again Charlie. Spot on. A pail of cold water on the head. WE all need to stand strong and free. I read a chilly article about how he plans to annex Canada and it didn't seem like science fiction. Sadly.
It’s time for Canada to stand together & reassess allies. No one can trust the USA;removing them from the 5 Eyes or forming a new alliance is necessary. Over 1/2 of US is not supportive of the Trump regime & numbers will increase as they feel the impact of his actions & transactional catering to ultra wealthy & criminals. First Ukraine, then Israel ( it won’t stop at Gaza) , who knows what’s next.
I feel as if the current government of the United States is doing bizarre things every day, not out of any political ambition or even any real feeling of political ideology but purely to destabilize economies everywhere so that opportunistic billionaires can take advantage of the chaos to grow ever more wealthy.
While they might use a Christian front as an excuse for certain actions I don’t believe they are in any way acting from religious convictions, they just know they can use it to manipulate the faithful to remain compliant.
I don’t think they care at all about the fear and hardship they are causing. I don’t think appeals to decency will work with that crowd. I think profit and the power that comes with wealth is the only motivation they truly embrace.
I doubt that diplomacy can still be an effective tool after that disgraceful scene in the White House.
I know that I want a better world than this one for my grandchildren to live in. This path does not feel like it is leading to a better place for ordinary people.

Indeed it was, a disgraceful display of pure ignorance,

At this point, CNN is as bad as Fox News and Newsmax.

Keep taking your meds. They are nothing alike.

Charlie, excellent reports again. I trust you.
What steps should the Liberals and/or NDP take BEFORE the Federal election is called by our new PM?

American here. I’m with you and Ukraine.
