Trump Should Apply to Enter Canada

Re: Trump will be coming to Canada to attend G7 summit in June, White House confirms — Hadriana Lowenkron, May 22 - Bloomberg

National Post: 1 June, 2025 / Hill Times: 4 June 2025

Like all visitors with a criminal conviction, Donald Trump should be required to apply for a special entry permit to attend the G7 conference on June 15. Even former President George W. Bush was required to seek a permit due to his past impaired driving conviction.

2025 Royal Visit – Canada Still Deferring to Unaccountable Power

Hill Times: 28 May 2025 / Chronicle Herald: 31 May 2025

King Charles and queen Camilla’s May 26-27 Canadian visit inspires me to question both the value and purpose of Canada’s link to the British monarchy. I feel no personal loyalty to these wealthy strangers whose unrestrained forbearers cruelly-oppressed the ancestors of many Canadians, including mine. Nevertheless, Canada’s government and many institutions remain smitten by the glittering allure of royalty.

A recent mainstream media editorial suggests that the electoral losses of certain MPs are linked to their support for Palestinian independence and opposition to Israeli military aggression in Gaza, the West Bank and elsewhere.

The Political Value of Worthy and Unworthy Victims

(One wounded Ukrainian versus 400 dead Palestinians)

Chronicle Herald: 20 March, 2025

It seems the wounding of a recent Ukrainian immigrant matters more to Canada’s mainstream press than the brutal deaths of over 400 Palestinian civilians in killed in Gaza by Israeli bullets, bombs and artillery since the so-called ceasefire was declared. The number of wounded and maimed is likely higher.

“Nothing over the centuries has more often been urged than the social rewards of hardship, urged by those who will not have to suffer it.’

According to a February 14, 2025, Post Media article, 'I would be prepared to impoverish the country and not be annexed, if that was the option we’re facing,' the former prime minister reportedly said.

King Charles versus king Donald

Hill Times: 19 February 2025

The prestige of scandal-riven British royalty has steadily-eroded over the decades but the monarchy could help Canada deal with Donald Trump’s bully tactics.

This dynamic provides a Machiavellian opportunity to Canadians of wit and courage who understand the power of perception in politics.

During Donald Trump’s recent public appearance with Benjamin Netanyahu, the U.S. leader declared that Gaza’s Palestinian population must accept his vague promise to settle them elsewhere. Without acknowledging the source of Gaza’s destruction, Trump then claimed that America would rebuild the battered territory, transforming it into a paradise.

Donald Trump’s failed 2020 Abraham Accords led directly to the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel.
