We have done it to ourselves, and we have nobody to blame but ourselves.

Congratulations on the anniversary and best wishes moving forward.

The excellent journalism is comparable to that of Sam Cooper and Terry Glavin. So, it was time for me to pay up and support Mr. Lilley.

Enjoying your content very much Brian. Will continue to subscribe to receive future notes! As you highlighted in your article, this part really stuck out: “Middle powers are not becoming more visible because they are more powerful. They are becoming more visible because they are more exposed.” I think through your writing and others as well, Carney is becoming more exposed as the person that is VERY ill equipped to deal with the US administration and any negotiations.

Donald Ashman: Absolutely. Elections have consequences.

Congratulations, Brian! Not surprised your site has grown. As for subscribing, that's what people always used to do, right?

About Carney's "middle powers" delusion, it makes sense if, as I'm told, he wants to align Canada more with Europe. That means that we all need to become much more comfortable with delusions, irrelevance, and failure.

Canada is not in Europe and it is delusional to think that that fact does not matter. If the Americans just decide to politely ignore our interests as a result, we will be irrelevant in North America, where we are in fact located.

As for failure, everywhere I look, I see failure marketed as success. If it is okay with the majority who keep this system in place, I guess I had better get used to it.

I believe I was the first person to put Benny on TV back when he was a writer for Glenn Beck’s The Blaze.
