In Jonathan Swift’s satirical 18th century masterpiece, “Gulliver’s Travels,” his sea-faring protagonist visits various fictional lands, whose inhabitants represent facets of human nature that range from the merely irksome to the grimly repulsive. In the final chapter, we meet the noble race of Houyhnhnms — clean, attractive, kind, intelligent horses who are capable of conversing with Gulliver.

Apparently, it takes 2 cars, 2 drivers and 4 body guards for the Governor General to go get BBQ chicken. The grift and absolute entitlement is off the charts in this country. It infuriates me. Here I am re-using tea bags and these assholes are acting like Queens pic.twitter.com/T7ocnsccch

Prime Minister Mark Carney has promised regular updates on his government’s efforts as Canada continues to work through a U.S. trade war while also seeking to strengthen relationships with other trading partners — and his medium of choice appears to be YouTube.
“I promise you, I will never sugarcoat our challenges,” Carney said in a video posted April 19 and titled Forward Guidance. “Instead, I’ll talk with you directly and regularly about our plan — why we’re doing what we’re doing, what’s working, what isn’t, and what we’re going to do next.”
CBC has much praise for their Great Communicator the one who knows Youtube vids garner larger audiences than the Ceeb.

The nuisance Brampton protesters pressured Doug Ford about extending their work permits.
His response? "These hard-working people are here to contribute to the community and have been trained in certain areas and I can tell you that your employers want you to stay."

Forty years ago this spring, Kihachiro Aratake was diving in the warm seas off southwest Japan when he started trembling. He was a diving instructor looking for promising new sites to take tourists, and there in the waters off the southern coast of Yonaguni, a small and remote island close to Taiwan, he came upon something awe inspiring.
“Back in those days the sea was so very clear,” he says, “and looking down I felt I was looking down on Machu Picchu.” On the seabed he found a vast rock edifice of drastically straight lines and sharp angles, like the wall and terraces of the ancient Inca city. “I was so amazed — I had never seen anything like that before.”
OTTAWA — Jason Stanley moved from the United States to Canada last September, leaving behind a high-profile position at Yale to take a job at the Munk School of Global Affairs in Toronto.
The fascism researcher said he made the move for one reason: academic freedom.
“That’s the only reason. Nobody’s coming to Canada for higher wages because you’re not getting higher wages. You’re getting lower retirement, lower salaries, sometimes more teaching. So it’s academic freedom,” Stanley said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
If U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration hoped to strengthen Canada’s hand in trade talks, it could hardly have done a better job.
This week, the U.S. deputy trade representative Rick Switzer told the Council of Foreign Relations that Prime Minister Mark Carney is guilty of “political malpractice” for pitting himself politically against the president, that he’s driven by his “ego,” and is an unserious leader who’s failed to acknowledge the United States’ force over Canada.

OTTAWA – The former U.S. diplomat for LGBTQ+ rights is urging Canada to boost its support for gender and sexual minorities abroad — and South Africa says Ottawa can help hold the line against the Trump administration’s efforts to erode human rights globally.
American cuts to foreign aid and Washington’s co-ordination with dictators loomed large at this week’s Ottawa Civic Space Summit. The a conference of development and human rights workers was hosted by Resilient Societies and Co-operation Canada, a coalition of dozens of Canadian non-profits working in international assistance.
