The title suggests that the attendees were booing the pipeline deal. What they were actually booing was the idea of remaining in Canada.

Terrible headline. She got applause when she talked about the pipeline deal. The boos came later when she asked if they were more comfortable in Canada than they were a few days ago.

In a recent article about the United States' strained relationships with other countries, Time Magazine included a made-up quote from Canadian satire site The Beaverton — seemingly as fact.

In the Oct. 1 article about the United States' eroding alliances, there’s a section that references U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra’s recent appearance at an event hosted by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce.

At the event, Hoekstra voiced his disappointment with the anti-American sentiment that's spread across Canada in light of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and his quips about Canada becoming the 51st state.

Time quoted Hoekstra: "'A Canada that it would be very easy to target with 500% steel tariffs, or one patriot missile aimed at Parliament Hill,’ he added, rather incredulously.'"

Except Hoekstra didn’t say that — The Beaverton, a satirical news site in Canada akin to The Onion, made it up for this article titled, "US Ambassador threatens to tariff, annex, and bomb Canada if anti-American sentiment doesn’t improve."

I lived in Haiti for three years. When I returned, I went to the doctor and got dewormed right away (intestinal parasites). Later in the week, I went to reapply for national health coverage. I showed them my SIN. They said, okay, you're back on. I told them about the earlier doctor's visit. They said no problem, and backdated the coverage. I really took our national health plan for granted until I lived in a country without. It's an awesome thing.

Our room overlooked the Canyon. We watched condors fly by our window. Spectacular.

The ban on religon-based meals wasn't explained. Does that mean kosher and halal foods can't be offered by cafeterias? Fish can't be served on Fridays?

Apparently, the women volunteered, although there were some who were pressured into it.

The Canadian people are united like they have never been before. Canadian dollar as been rising. Canada is getting more doctors and high level professionals as some flee the U.S. Canada has been expanding trade ties around the world (exception is U.S.). Traveling Canadians are welcomed around the world.

There are several democratic countries that ranked higher on the Freedom scale. What makes Germany the "leading democracy?"

Rule 1. When you're having political problems at home, create a foreign enemy to distract the population.
