Think I’m full of it vis a vis the essential nature of French Canada in preserving Canadian distinctness from the United States? Listen to George Grant.
BREAKING: Ukraine and Saudi Arabia just signed a military cooperation agreement 🇺🇦🇸🇦
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio isn't ruling out diverting weapons that NATO allies have bought for Ukraine to instead support the Iran war. Canada has spent C$890 million on weapons meant to be sent to Kyiv through the PURL program: bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @business
The fact that Mark Carney won Quebec despite basically not speaking French, to me, suggests that the whole thing largely functions as a power grab like all the other DEI. It's important until it isn't.

I wrote this week that Canada may not even be able to buy missiles for its air defence system. Former Chief of the Defence Staff, Wayne Eyre, told me we should make them ourselves. Why not? We used to make fighter jets after all. open.substack.com/pub/johnivison…
Furthermore, official bilingualism is regionally discriminatory. This policy ensures a significant percentage of those occupying the highest offices in the country are Central Canadians, which is the way the Laurentian Consensus prefers it.
Air Canada has gone 43 (!) years without a fatal incident. My entire life up to this point has been lived in a country where the flag carrier never got a single person killed in a crash. The record is a totem to what serious people can accomplish. So naturally, Mark Carney is screaming at them to instead focus on nonsense.
