- By his logic — such as it is — he will now have to place punitive sanctions on his own country for his having said this
- Not all THAT different from Jeffrey Lewis’s 2018 novel “The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States”
- Since this issue seems to have reared its head, here’s my column from last week on why nuclear weapons wouldn’t help Canada at all, and in general don’t protect countries from invasion by adjoining countries www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

- As fell Kennedy, so falls the Kennedy Center: Taken down by a babbling conspiracy theorist, besotted then humiliated by Russia, standing alone at a window, oblivious to any wider context
