In 1991, I spent most of a day with officers huddled over banks of computers and green-glowing radar screens deep within Cheyenne Mountain, 600 metres below a rough-hewn granite peak near Colorado Springs, Col.

My tour was impressive but tranquil until suddenly a buzzer sounded, a bell rang, and a wall light flashed red. An unidentified blip had popped onto a screen in the missile warning centre, a 10-by-10 metre low-ceilinged room at North American Aerospace Defence Command (Norad).

The duty officer snatched a beige phone from its cradle and was instantly linked to the command post, another nearby room within the mountain’s hardened core.

Carney prefers the EU as a partner. He and his WEF colleagues are well ensconced and know how to exploit the system for profit.

A little surprised the Star would publish this.

As the summer tourism season heats up and some Canadians choose to boycott U.S. travel, New England states and business owners want to draw Canadian tourists back.

Maine’s rugged coastline and sandy beaches have helped to earn it the licence plate slogan “Vacationland.” But this year, fewer Canadians are showing up.

David Rowland, co-owner of York Beach Beer Company, has noticed fewer Canadian licence plates and fewer Canadian surfers in York Beach.

When Canadian-grown fruits and vegetables reach the market—typically from June to October—prices become much more stable. Historically, during this window, price fluctuations, the up-and-down swings at the checkout, are about half as volatile as the rest of the year, thanks to seasonal abundance and shorter, domestic supply chains.

BURLINGTON, Vt. — When Mari Cordes discovered Vermont during a bike trip in 1982, the Michigan native thought she’d never leave.

“Vermont was the first place that felt like home,” she said. “And it still does.”

But Cordes, a Democrat who has served for seven years in the Vermont House of Representatives, resigned Thursday ahead of a planned move to Canada on July 4 — what she’s taken to calling her own Independence Day. A cardiovascular critical care nurse, Cordes has secured a job at a hospital in rural Nova Scotia.

Financial insecurity? You mean she’s looking forward to it?

Woke Vermonters attempt to entice Canadians with a feeble overture meant to whitewash years of poor, Marxist management that increased crime and decreased economic vitality.

In a virtue-signaling display of institutional Trump Derangement Syndrome, the city of Burlington, Vermont, passed a resolution to spend $3,000 to rename its main shopping corridor from Church Street to Canada Street. The silly effort is premised on the goal of attracting more shoppers to the progressive Gotham’s dying commercial sector in a spiteful swipe at President Trump. Burlington is cutting off its nose on its path to self-destruction.

As Canada is actively trying to expand its trade with the non-U.S. world, Parliament has just entrenched the one thing that has scuppered more trade negotiations than anything else.

This week, the first bill passed by the 45th Parliament ended up being a Bloc Québécois-championed proposal to shield the Canadian supply management system from any foreign trade negotiations.
