" Let’s imagine you're in an elevator, and Donald Trump gets into the elevator, and you have 30 seconds to tell him what you think. What would you do?” And I actually thought about it for about five seconds and said, “I’d push the alarm button as hard as I could.” @bobbyrae48.bsky.social 100%

Very much looking forward to chatting with David Common on the CBC radio show “Sunday Morning” about my edited book “Reclaiming Canadian Sovereignty in a Ruptured World” -

Americans really don’t understand how evil Canadians view this rhetoric. We think it’s just “Trump being Trump” and trolling for lulz, but Lutnick here is threatening the sovereignty of our closest ally and biggest trading partner. This is a catastrophe, not easily remedied.

This is incredibly important. The attacks on global public health by the Musk/Kennedy/Trump administration have created an enormous challenge to the global community a challenge we are far from meeting,

#EmancipationDay is observed across former British colonies on Aug 1 to mark the date in 1834 when slavery was abolished. Chattel slavery first existed in ON when Loyalists came here after the American Revolution, and enslaved people were forced to work as unpaid labour.

On this 250th anniversary of America's birth, former deputy prime minister John Manley shares some complicated feelings for our neighbour to the south: www.thestar.com/opinion/how-... #usa250 #america250 #july4th

thestar.comSteve Paikin: How does former foreign affairs minister John Manley see America today?It was a different way of dealing with the world, showing respect for other countries, certainly showing respect for Canada as a sovereign nation, says John Manley of his time

Authoritarians are learning from each other across borders. Can defenders of liberal democracy do the same? LibCon2026 takes on that mantle with @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu, @robertguest.bsky.social, Félix Maradiaga, and @bobbyrae48.bsky.social

I just finished this book by @bobbyrae48.bsky.social . It was written a few years ago which is a pity because I would have loved to read what he thinks of the world currently and the various new players since he wrote this fine book. Interested in politics read this book . It is a must.
