Meanwhile in CanadaFeb 7, 2025

1980 is as far away from 2025 as 1935 was from 1980.

If you grew up in the 1980s and were shocked by history, wondering how the Germans allowed for the rise of Hitler, you are now witnessing it in real time.

The world waited too long to stop Hitler/Mussolini.

The world can't afford to wait any longer to stop Putin/Musk/Trump.

They will not just be Ukraine and Canada's problem for long.

Huh. I wonder what was happening in USA in the 1880s.
Assuming the presidency after Garfield's assassination, Arthur's presidency saw the largest expansion of the U.S. Navy, the end of the so-called "spoils system", and the implementation of harsher restrictions for migrants entering from abroad.
...ah
