Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Yup. That’s it in nuts shelling.
One honest man.
One PO’d man and with good reason!
Correct, again…
The U.S. needs to declare a no fly zone over both Israel and Iran. They agreed to a ceasefire. Violation of the ceasefire is perfidy.
If Israel attempts to attack, they get shot down.
If Iran attempts to attack, they get bombed.
It would be tough to go that route, although the shaking hands route doesn’t seem to be working. The USA could rescind help to Israel in both Gaza and Iran. That would sting. Baby steps as you bring two idiots to a party.
Trump seems to think you can reason with Islamists. You can’t. How do you say cease fire in Arabic? “Reload.” There is no honour in Islamists.
“There is no honour in Islam.”
Yes, and isn’t it simply remarkable how quick they are to demand it of everyone else…
Wait! What!? You’re besmirching the Religion of Peace? You know … that Religion George Bush assured me was … “peaceful”. Scolded me was “peaceful”. Warned me was “peaceful” … TOLD ME to BELIEVE was “peaceful” … or else!!
This is what I like about Trump. He calls a spade a f-in’ shovel.
And the good part here is that most likely the USA does not go to war with Iran. If he’s taken down their nukes, what have they got to threaten anyone with? Not much.
Just their proxy terror system.
But he’s boxed himself in, kinda, which contributes to his anger. Without the US being directly attacked post-ceasefire, he’s got no reason to go back. He can’t attack Iran without also attacking Israel (to be fair and ‘impartial’). So he has to sit on his hands and use diplomatic and economic pressure solely.
I am hoping Trump doesn’t go all Bushy on us. Iran cannot be trusted. Islam is the problem. As long as they read the Koran, Jews will be targeted by crazies. As long as Jews are targeted Israel is not safe from these maniacs. Nor are any of us.

If you don’t believe Trump’s epithet has already been backed up by threats, nay promises of $Aid cuts to Israel if they don’t f-en comply with the ceasefire … then you don’t know how Trump operates.
I see how mad Trump is at both nations but I think the Jews – who’ve been attacked multiple times by multiple countries and terror orgs – have a different idea of what they should and shouldn’t do.
Every war the Jews fight is existential.
For good reason. I remember a reporter from the USA asking Yitzhak Shamir if he really thought Saddam was going to gas Israelis. Shamir looked at the reporter and like he’d lost his mind and replied, “We’re Jews. When someone says they’re going to gas us we take it very seriously.”
TRUMP IS MY MAN!

Hey, can we keep it civil?
Maybe we need a boot here.
Thanks for that and yes, a boot would be good.
Scar seems unstable & angry.
Not sure what Trump Is My Man means to him.
Trump is under immense pressure to prevent and stop wars that lessor men want.
He is under never-ending attack from America’s vapid, angry left and it’s media dwarfs.
I was expressing gratitude and support for a great president.
If you don’t finish wars when you have the chance they never end. You don’t gain peace by stopping a war before it’s over, just more war. Trump has never read a book in his life,much less a history book.
“Hey, can we keep it civil? ”
Trying hard. Personally working on not being so easily baited by obvious trolls (even with such a hapless target as this one)…
Oil Market News

Key Points
President Donald Trump said China can keeping buying oil from Iran.
Trump’s statement is a sign that the U.S. is easing its maximum pressure campaign on the Islamic Republic.
Oil has sold off sharply after Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire, though the deal came close to collapse early Tuesday.
It’s the NY Slimes so take it with a grain of salt:
All Iran’s nuclear sites likely weren’t obliterated.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/us/politics/iran-nuclear-sites.html?smid=tw-share
“All Iran’s nuclear sites likely weren’t obliterated.”
Ya think? Only Trump would think that Iran wouldn’t move their weapons grade uranium before the attack that everyone guessed was coming. Little has changed in the last two weeks. They might have been setback six months to a year but they will be better prepared next time. And for the enteenth time they have abandoned the Iranian opposition.
“Ya think? Only Trump would think that Iran wouldn’t move their weapons grade uranium before the attack that everyone guessed was coming.”
Oh, please…Israeli intelligence has penetrated Iran to the extent that even if Iran did move it to a less secure location than where it was *deep underground*, the Israelis would find it and easily destroy it.
” Little has changed in the last two weeks. They might have been setback six months to a year but they will be better prepared next time.”
What ‘next time’? There won’t be one.
” And for the enteenth time they have abandoned the Iranian opposition.”
Who is ‘they’? Europe? The rest of the Arab world? You aren’t suggesting that Donald Trump engage in [gasp!] NATION BUILDING, are you?
I am suggesting the US not chicken out like they always do. Mind you, it usually takes them 10 or 15 years to chicken out, not 24 hours. In case you missed it, their concentrated U235 is in China.
IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING IF TRUMP’S SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL GIFT TO IRAN WAS POLITICALLY SUCCESSFUL
Former Obama Aide: Obama and Biden Also deserve credit for Iran strike –
Think about this for a second. Trump takes action against Iran that no president was willing to take before, and yet she wants Joe Biden and Barack Obama to share the credit? Surely, she can’t be serious.
Naturally, Jennings looked on, visibly stunned at Maska’s interpretation, and I can’t blame him. These were two men who sent Iran billions of dollars, not bunker busters. They helped fund Iran’s nuclear ambitions; Trump blew up those ambitions. It was like when Obama said back in 2012 that successful business owners don’t deserve the credit for their own success.

agm
I think they’re arguing that Obama deserves credit, because Obama giving money to Iran financed their nuclear program. Without that money, there would be nothing to bomb.
Joe,
No doubts about your analysis – seems right on the money.
