NATO is not something that can be brazenly referred to as obsolete in a brief missive by the PEOTUS in the days before assuming office. The shockwaves of uncertainty generated from’t (especially lacking any spark of contextualization) are far greater than the capacity of the planet to withstand. Geo-politically speaking,

I said I see no goals
I see only losses
I see no chance of a play-off tomorrow
So stand down eMTy
Stand down please
Stand down Therrien
I say stand down eMTy
Stand down please
Stand Therrien
You tell me how can it work
With this “process” of yours
All these chip-ins aren’t working,
We want a third goal scored
Stand down eMTy
Stand down please
Stand down Therrien
I sometimes wonder
If I’ll ever get to say
Come with me my children
To the Stanley Cup parade
Our hopes seem desperate in your dump and chase plans
Would you give a second thought
Would you ever change the process, I doubt it
Stand down eMTy
Score!
Everybody shout it
Stand down eMTy!
DDD, cut his power play time
More gCHuck at Centre
We score
Score, score, score, score, score
Score, score, score, score, score
Score, score, score, score, score
Score, score, score, score, score
Score, score, score, score, score
Stand down please
Stand down EMTy
Stand down please
Stand down Therrien
I say stand down EMTy
Stand down please

Stand down EMTy
Stand down please

Dang!
Best debate ever. And maybe because it couldn`t be fully appreciated if you didn’t already live in la Belle Province and have a good ear for Québefrancais, but dang!
I watched all the debates, and this one took the cake. For once, Harper was on the defensive and getting pummeed all throughout. Trudeau and Duceppe – and especially Mulcair – smacked him down for the best 120 minutes of the past 10 years.
On more than a couple of occasions I was animated towards my TV like nothing you have seen since the last Habs playoff games.
That said, Mulcair mostly made the gorgeous passes while Trudeau potted the goals. Anyway, I loved every minute. For once, Mulcair was himself mostly. The attack dog making sure Harper won’t get away with anything. And Mulcair allowed himself to be himself, and not some weird uncle with the fake smile trying to sell you crystal meth as some hard candy.
Trudeau blew everyone out of the water on debating points, and called Duceppe “mon amour” at one point, completely endearing himself to all québecoise (according to my Québecoise wife) and providing a bit of candor to his otherwise ironclad demeanor. The niqab was debated responsibly. The Middle East conflict and our role therein was debated (marginally) intelligently. Everything I saw in two hours surpassed the past five years of HoC theater. Bravo, all.
Bonus points to JT for calling out Harper on his cowardice vis a vis gay marriage and abortion rights; plus for saying a couple of real truths over the course of the night.

Dear Justin, I was very disheartened to hear our current PM today distort your thoughtful positions on restoring diplomacy with Iran and pulling out of the bombing campaign in the Iraq-Syria joint civil war. That said: nice ad! I have to say though, that I was previously crestfallen to see
