I confess, I admire the US Constitution. It is not perfect, but it is brilliant in its resilience. For 250 years, it has allowed America to stumble, argue, repair, and carry on without losing the thread of its republic. It adapts without amputating. It reforms without razing. Always striving for better without tossing the baby out with the bathwater.
And now — consider our own sorry spectacle this week. A prime minister, having failed to meet even one of his glittering campaign promises, cloaks himself not in Canadian maple leaf but in Ukrainian blue and gold. With flourish, he pledges $2 billion more in aid, perhaps even troops, as though Canada were a vault stuffed with surplus riches and battalions to spare. Noble? Perhaps. Accountable? Not in the slightest.
