Canada’s frightening new reality: our next door neighbour has upended the world order

The spectacle of U.S. President Donald Trump and his toady acolyte, Vice-President JD Vance, berating Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the Oval Office last week was many things: embarrassing, shameful, shocking, reckless.

Training materials for NHS Scotland workers ask them to consider the fictional case of “Lucy”, a 29-year-old trans nurse who had yet to formally change their name from Lee.

Tough Talking Canada: We could take part in Ukraine peacekeeping so long as the the USA provides ‘security guarantees’

Canada could take part in Ukraine peacekeeping with ‘security guarantees’ from U.S., defence minister says

OTTAWA — Canada is willing to participate in an as-yet undefined peacekeeping operation in Ukraine if a deal to stop the fighting with Russia is reached, Defence Minister Bill Blair said Wednesday.
