Andrew Coyne stands as the Unrivaled Epitome of Hypocrisy!
In recent years, Andrew Coyne posted this and this and this, exasperated that Canada wasn’t doing anything to help Venezuela.
But now that Donald Trump has actually done something to help the people of Venezuela, he is OUTRAGED. I started counting the number of retweets by Coyne since the U.S. military action a few days ago and got up to 50, but it’s a much greater number than that. Serious question: Has TDS so deeply effected his brain that he is incapable of realizing what an incredible hypocrite he is?!?

María Corina Machado Interview from Late 2025
A few months ago, Nobel Peace Prize Winner María Corina Machado engaged in this interview. Every Canadian and American should pay close attention to her describe Venezuela’s downfall under Democratic Socialism. Free speech was removed. Merit was replaced with nepotism. Is it any wonder why NDP’ers, Lieberals, and Democrats are angry as hell about what happened a few days ago? For them, Venezuela of the past quarter century isn’t a warning, it’s an instruction manual.

The Zero Percent Interest Miracle
Back in the 1980’s it was fashionable to proclaim that Japan, with an allegedly superior mixture of central planning and free markets, would soon own the world. It now looks like they can’t even maintain their own world, let alone anyone else’s. Decades of embracing Keynesian economics have resulted in a very bitter harvest.
Once famously derided for building bridges to nowhere, Japan’s government is now struggling to maintain them.
Even before the quake, Suzu was struggling to carry out routine maintenance of infrastructure due to money and manpower shortages. Over the past 25 years, its municipal tax revenue dropped 43% as the working-age population nearly halved. In the Noto region, the labor force fell by about 30% in the 15 years through 2020, compared to the roughly 10% drop nationwide…

Globe and Mail- The Sunday Editorial: Venezuela’s fate is a warning for Canada
The motivation is simple, and ancient: empire. Saturday marked the formal debut of an imperial America, led by a president who recognizes no law, save that of the jungle. Already, Mr. Trump is turning his attention elsewhere, saying in an interview Saturday that “something’s going to have to be done with Mexico.”
Every country in the Western Hemisphere should be worried, particularly this country, which Mr. Trump so obviously covets as a 51st state.

Or, Bint Regurgitates:
Ms Kylie Brewer, featured above, is, she boasts, a “content creator, writer, and activist with a background in education and political storytelling.” Hence, one assumes, the departures from reality. She’s also a high-school teacher, a person who teaches others, and she’s very much “anti-racist.” Which would, I suppose, explain the endless, contrived disdain for people who happen to have pale skin.
Because contradictions don’t exist in Ms Brewer’s mental world.
Being so clever, she shapes young minds.

How Deep, Senor Maduro?
Venezuela had a Russian-supplied integrated system focused on protecting Caracas and strategic sites. This included long-range, medium-range, short-range, and point-defense systems, supplemented by anti-aircraft guns and fighter interceptors.
They had around 12 batteries of…

Titania McGrath- Why can’t we all wear stab vests?
I would go so far as to say that complaints about “knife crime” are a fascist dog-whistle. How hard is it to wear a stab vest when out in public? Stab vests are affordable, stylish and surely a small price to pay to uphold diversity and inclusion.
What Again Was That About Foreign Interference?
I’m cautiously optimistic that the removal of Maduro by U.S. Special Forces will lead to a much better future for Venezuelans, who have been severely oppressed by communists for over 25 years. The talking points from the usual suspects has been interesting, mostly focused on “there should be no interference from foreign powers in places like Venezuela”. How come they’ve remained silent about such interference from countries other than America?

The Kobeissi Letter- Most people do not realize how much the world just changed.
In other words, in 12 hours, the US has gained control of oil reserves worth more than the entire GDP of ALL countries in the world, aside from the US and China. That’s 4 TIMES larger than the GDP of Japan.
Then there’s everything else.
