Just a little square-dance patter for Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who seems to be doing the Wexit do-se-do– getting closer to it then backing around it, then sashaying closer again. She can’t say yes and she can’t say no, and where we’re going nob…

I will miss the Star Wars socks:Trudeau ran for the leadership at just the right time, in 2013, when the Liberal Party was flailing and failing. And he left at just the right time too, as it turned out.Yes, by 2024 he had worn out his welcome with…

Five more days. All Trump needed to do was to keep quiet about Canada for just five more days. He just couldn’t do it.

Even a misdemeanor for reckless driving, or a traffic ticket for impaired driving, can prevent an American from entering Canada. In order to enter Canada with DUI charges many people hire an immigration lawyer. Going to Canada from USA with other criminal convictions like theft or assault can also be challenging.
