The White House media ban
reminds me of the Teddy Roosevelt quote:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

The small town of Gander in the Canadian province of Newfoundland saw its population virtually double when U.S. airspace was closed on 9/11, grounding 38 international flights on an island in the Atlantic Ocean.
For five days, Newfoundlanders gave shelter and comfort to 7,000 stranded passengers and crew members. @conorknighton talks with Newfoundlanders who volunteered during the emergency, whose generosity to the "plane people" inspired the Broadway musical @wecomefromaway.

In the midst of a hot war against a mortal enemy of the United States, the Secretary of War of the world’s only super power finds time to troll folks at a cadet camp for teenagers in Vernon, British Columbia.
To our many friends in the great United States of America: what’s going on?
This is "Diplomacy Speak" for giving DT's antics the proverbial middle finger...
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.
The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.
We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.
Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Gavin Newsom: "I had a good relationship with the last PM. I love your country. I love the people. California is a stable partner. We do not in any way, shape, or form condone the behaviour of this president as it relates to how he's treated you and just in the condescending terms. I'm disgusted by it. And I just want folks up north to know that there are a lot more Americans like me than there are like Donald Trump."

Bob Rae on Trump threatening to rename Lake Ontario: "He can call it whatever he wants, and I suppose we can call him whatever we want. But no matter what you say about it, it's still Lake Ontario. Where does this idiocy stop? The president should get a grip."

My latest: “The question is not whether the government of Canada should have walked away from the negotiating table. The question is why it was ever at the table in the first place.” theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Canada fought wars alongside Americans.
Canada helped free Americans from Tehran.
Canada welcomed stranded & worried Americans on 9/11.
In other words, Canada is tough.
Canada is brave.
Canada is a good friend.
You know what Canada is not?
Weak. 🇨🇦

PM Carney says he expects to speak to President Trump before Wednesday's tariff deadline: "Maybe I'll translate 'maîtres chez nous' for the president, as well."

Hoekstra: You do not come into another country and run political ads against the president of the United States. That's not appropriate behaviour.
Zandbergen: Is the president coming to Canada saying you could be the 51st state and you probably should -- that doesn't seem appropriate either.

Absolute disaster on CNN. Fareed Zakaria exposes Donald Trump's severe cognitive decline and erratic behavior.
The US President literally threatens to destroy Iran and begs them for a deal on the exact same day.
Washington's diplomacy is an absolute clown show.

May very well be the GOAT. 🇨🇦

He did it politely and diplomatically but King Charles just reminded Congress:
• NATO was there for USA after 9/11
• British Troops did fight in Afghanistan
• Ukraine needs our help now
• executive power must be subject to checks & balances
• ice-caps are melting
• America’s natural wonders need protecting
