The UN with 193 member states was established to uphold international laws, etc., but is conspicuously absent in Ukraine as Russia commits horrendous violations of international law The UN’s flawed design allows one permanent Security Council member like Russia to veto any resolution demanding it stop the Ukraine invasion and withdraw all troops. Today, the UN is pathetic and irrelevant, a no-show in Ukraine while horrific atrocities are occurring contrary to the reason for its conception after WW2.

Bumpy ride
The current Calgary city council (minus the Faithful Six) have absolutely no fiscal concept or accountability on financial matters to operate the City of Calgary. Therefore, the city will continue to slide down the septic tank until the next civic elections, scheduled for Monday, Oct. 20, 2025. Until then, Calgarians better buckle-up. It will be a rough financial ride for the next 15 months.

Elected accountability
If judges and senators are making life-changing decisions, they should be elected. For example, our Supreme Court is packed with Trudeau’s left picks.

Presidential nature
I was reading a magazine that lists how former presidents of the United States rate, from the best to the worst. A quote from Dwight Eisenhower really caught my eye. He said, “Any man who wants to be president is either an egomaniac or crazy.” I keep wondering what category Trump would fit. And whether this quote would also fit how Trudeau feels.
