It no longer looks like a sure thing for him to maintain his position (the aim was to improve it from minority to majority rule in parliament — now he looks quite capable of losing entirely).
I miss Rob Ford.
what’s with that? nobody wants to volunteer to let America go first. Always we gotta be last. Some friends.
Canada was fighting Nazi Germany TWO YEARS before Germany declared war on America.
That’s only because they were little more than British subjects, and did exactly what they were told.
Sometimes War Finds YOU!
