Canadian Politics Today

I can't... won't give consideration to Trump actually winning another term; current electoral college projections suggest Trump just can't reach the magic number!

of course the key will be if the Democratic Party can gain control of the Senate (retaining the House seems a lock). Biden plays up his ability to work with Republicans but I can't see that country divide coming together until the Senate 'flips'. At that point Democrats can begin to undo much of the nonsense Trump "accomplished" - both domestic and international, particularly taking on global authoritarianism, re-joining the Paris Accord, joining CPTPP, smoothing relations with allies/NATO, etc.. Biden has already hinted at such moves but is being somewhat reserved... for now. As always, there's a continued/increased theme for more Canadian diversification away from such a heavy reliance on trade with the U.S. - but I see a Biden admin working to strengthen trade/military ties with Canada even further... which will be a part of the broader thrusts against China that should be seen through the influence of the U.S. back in the (CP)TPP fold. I can see one of the first actions Biden might take is to re-join the nuclear treaty with Europe/Iran. Speculation abounds and until we begin to see just where Biden goes, it's almost an exercise in 'wishful' thinking.

hey now! That antiwar.com site brought back some real memories... it's been many years since I've followed it; but I always relied upon it to provide status & death/injury counts for military and civilians in Iraq/Afghanistan.
