What the heck is with Politico?

Today someone linked to an article with the title, "Look how much Canadians hate the United States now." The article doesn't mention any such thing, and I would say that, in general, Canadians don't. The truth, as the article describes, is that Canadians, on average, no longer view the US as a reliable ally.

Yesterday someone linked to another article titled, "Carney offers to ‘broker a bridge’ to build giant anti-Trump trade club." The article doesn't say anything about the "club" being anti-Trump, because it isn't explicitly so. The truth, as the article implies, is that America's traditional allies are now working around the US because the country's leadership (not just Trump) is moving it in a direction that's incompatible with our needs and values.

Titles like these belong in the tabloids. The language is way more inflammatory than is necessary or accurate, and doesn't even properly reflect the contents of the articles. More than that, they could be dangerous to Canada.

Cut it out, Politico!

Manitoba conservation officers assigned to U.S. border have seen 'no activity' in nearly a year: minister

It's been 11 months since Manitoba started using conservation officers as extra sets of eyes on the United States border in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's claims that migrants and drug-smugglers were pouring in from Canada.

In my town (#VictoriaBC), we need doctors. It's a beautiful place to live, and I would do everything I can to help with the initiative… #Canada #US_Canada #HealthCare #ReproductiveRights

Michael Feb 18, 2025

Calling on anyone I know in politics, immigration, and health care to actively promote seeking out and recruit American doctors, particularly female ones, who are terrified by the draconian women's health care laws being enacted in the US. We should do everything we can to attract them, and help them move here safely. #Canada #US_Canada #HealthCare #ReproductiveRights
