Canadian Politics Redux
I guess having a new thread goes nicely with having a new government. :) So Trudeau is ending Canada's bombing campaign in Syria and redirecting that money to more humanitarian efforts. I for one and very happy about this. That is more along the lines of what Canada is about IMHO.

Keeping Men out of Women's Sports

It occurred to me that tons of really important stories around these topics don't get discussed here because there are so many of them that wouldn't have their own thread.

Ukraine
Will putin on the ritz invade? Should the US and NATO go to war over Ukraine? Does it make a difference if its a "border excursion," like running some tanks over a farmer's field, versus a full-on invasion? Personally, I'm not sure the US should get involved, being anti-war, but on the other hand, I'm not sure not coming…

Ankle-biting Democrats
Everyone concedes that Iraq has not turned out like we hoped it would. But it's painfully obvious that Democrats (and some Republicans) are now emersed in political posturing based on opinion polls.
