Well, we've had a big story that Trudeau would be in Caraquet. Today is a big story that he was in Caraguet. And, almost certainly, tomorrow will be a big story that he left Caraquet. And that's pretty much the only news in section A.
The cartoon on the Opinon page is a good one. It shows 'Canada Then' as a air transport landing peacekeers. Beside it is 'Canada Now' landing tanks for criminal governments. Too bad the irving press has so ignored this story that few readers will understand the cartoon.
The Canadian arms industry has become a prominent force in supplying arms - especially to unsavoury countries, and some that we have agreed not to supply arms to, and some for whom sales are banned by the UN. Mr. Trudeau (isn't he pretty?) has agreed to supply arms to such countries
.
The Commentary page was done on the cheap with one commentary from a local politician,, and one from the The Fraser Institute propaganda mill.
In World News, a local man has admitted to making sex tapes of his estranged wife. We are also told, in World News, that that the provincial Conservative party won't change its convention rules. This is, I guess, for those who missed the story in its last ten or so of appearances. Then, also in world news, is a big story that we may have too many wild blueberries this year. And it even has a picture of some so you can tell they're blue.
Russia and Ukraine appear to be on the edge of war, a war that would certainly become nuclear. But that didn't make the irving press. Nor did anything else.

And Trudeau's Liberals have been complicit in much of this. (This report also has a response under it that rather tortures the truth. It says there is no proof these Canadian weapons have killed anyone. Well, no. So what suckers all these Saudis and Libyans must be to buy weapons that don't kill anybody.)

The next story is more than it might seem to be. Lawyers, human rights activists, environmentalists suffer attacks and murder in Guatemala. But the attackers are not your average thugs.
This is all really an extension of the great massacres in Guatemala of some 25 years ago when the U.S. sponsored the killiing of 300,000 Guatemalans and many missionaries to force people to accept the abuses inflicted on them by British and Canadian companies - especially in mining.
Now, the human rights groups and environmentalists are coming back to deal with those who, they say, committed war crimes. Are the thugs being supported by the U.S. government? Almost certainly. (In fact, this blog had a story some days ago about an environmentalist who was killed by U.S. special ops.)

And here's something unusual. A Christian church is taking a stand against something that is happening in the real world. Very unusual.
For decades, israel has been taking large parts of Palestine, kicking out the Palestinians, and building Israeli "settlements' on it. These 'settlements are often quite large and densely populated - and for Jews only. The Palestinians lose their homes, their land, everything.

This next is a Russian source. But you don't need to watch much of the Olympics to see the truth of it. And it's not just the conflict between Russians and Americans. It's the acceptance by the the games and by us of the games as one of this world's dumber displays of nationalism. The real games of ancient Greece were not glory-seeking affairs. They were a worship of the Gods. And that worship was physical, intellectual, musical....
The modern games began as something for the rich only. The founders considered the rich to be better humans than others. That's why only amateurs were permitted. It kept out the riff-raff who couldn't afford to play unless they were paid for it. The intellectual and musical parts were dropped because of a belief at the time that only physical activity produced the sort of outstanding people that the rich considered themselves to be.
They were also, from the start of the modern games, brainless displays of nationalism - as though one person winning a race were a sign of some nation's moral and social superiority over others.

There is really nothing to report on the American election. It's a clown show on both sides. As well, the world press does not bother reporting on anything but the two, major parties in the U.S. (There are others. Really).
Anyway none of it matters.
The U.S. is owned by the very wealthy who are bleeding it dry, and are also using its people to make even more money for them by fighting for 'patriotism'. It really doesn't matter who wins.
If Trump wins and doesn't take orders from the super-wealthy, he'll be assassinated. Remember, he's dealing with people who have killed millions and refugeed tens of millions without giving it a second thought.
If Clinton wins, she'll go on doing what she's done her whole political life - take orders from the people who really run the country.
But....
There's deep anger throughout the U.S. So far, Trump has been able to capitalize on that. But there's a limit how far that anger can carry him. Even if he wins the election, a majority of Americans will still detest him.
Clinton has a similar problem. If she wins, it won't be because she's won the hearts and minds of Americans. It will be because a Trump is unthinkable for the majority.
And it's not as if most Americans have any idea what they want. They have been propagandized through schools, movies, TV, radio for many generations. Many have no idea what they want or even what they're angry at.
And that aimless rage will get worse with either Clinton or Trump. And there are, probably, only two results that can follow for that.
One would be a police state that would make Stalinism seem like democracy gone wild. The other would be a complete social breakdown of the U.S. And these two are not mutually exclusive.
And there is a third. Whoever the new president is could try to hold the country together with a major war. Of course, the chances are very, very strong that would become a nuclear war.
The reality of what is happening is that the American system of government has been destroyed. that's been true for a while. The U.S. is now governed by a hereditary aristocracy of wealth. And that aristocracy, which is too greedy ever to pay taxes, is also too greedy to make concessions.
And their greed has made them too stupid to see that they, too, will suffer from their greed
