The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

The EU cannot rest with both Russia and the US ready to seize it's territory at any moment.

The EU needs to make sure Ukraine wins and Trump keeps chickening out. It's future depends on it.

So in his speech Trump kept confusing Iceland and Greenland.

That's cool.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.
