@pedrobizbikedu Good point

Countries offering bribes get good trade deals with US. Democratic trading countries don't. No bearing on impact on citizens. Corruption rots a society.

“Above all, Europe needs to overcome its learned helplessness and act like the great power it is — especially given America’s apparent determination to destroy the pillars of its own strength.” (Funnily I had debated whether I should write my next column about exactly this)

@CoachMark Some pple have great capacity for happiness. Logically Nelson Mandela should have been unhappy locked up for so many years. But he wasn't. Likewise some have a great capacity for unhappiness- POTUS - for one. He has never been happy - even on 1st day of inauguration in 2016 - when most newly elected Presidents are beaming.

Only men had the right to vote for about 50 years in #Canada. Let's have a 10 year period where only women vote -educational experience.

We should normalize the siesta everywhere.

@JosephMeyer That - more than Trump - is depressing

Canada & EU have cut # of flights to US. U would think that would be worrisome from view of hotel/restaurant/convention centres.

@mpjgregoire Such an interesting mix - Royal fan; Quebecois & Conservative. You break all the rules 😊

Not wishing away the summer but looking forward to seeing these guys again #Bloomscrolling

Hoping I do not receive a letter from #nspower stating my personal info has been hacked. 50-50 chance it seems.

@kerbafoss Thank you - I wanted something not based in US

#Proton - yes or no
