Let's bet that Canada was aware of the US grabbing land:

Please someone at the Hague, get the guy with the black-rimmed glasses out of the camera angle at the hearings. No one needs to see the guy - with a clown tie yesterday - sighing and making faces and doodling. He looks like a bad Mr Bean.

I'd be remiss not to mention the passing away of Brian Mulroney. I was reminded of it, by the flags at half mast on a commercial street here. Politics being what they are, you'd probably be hard pressed to find one politician who comes out on the other side unsullied by the experience.
My brush with Brian Mulroney came at McGill where the Department of History hosted a talk circa 1997. Although few were the takers in my Pol Sci classes and the invite had to be reiterated, I attended.
He was introduced by Charles Bronfman. At the end, both seemed to race for the coat checkroom because as I was scurrying to get back home after dark to study, the duo were already standing there hands stretched out.
Whether I was startled, I couldn't take anyone's hand and only mused internally at the stockiness of the personnage. Those who knew him, like a certain radio journalist who was wheezing through his grief and had apparently, like Trump, heard him sing... were obviously moved.
He attended Laval too and was probably taught like many by my great-uncle Philippe. So to not embarrass the memory of my great-uncle, I say to Brian Mulroney's loved ones that they have my sympathy and may he rest in peace.

Strangely today a blind item about Justin Trudeau's love life brought me to look up his grandfather "Charley": www.biographi.ca/en/bio/trudeau_joseph_charles_emile_16E.htmlSo many points of convergence with my own grandfather in the same era, also an owner of a Ford car dealership and gas station (s), close to Maurice Duplessis. It's uncanny how my father hated the idea of me becoming a lawyer, stating lawyers had stolen the family fortune. He'd also been a contemporary of the senior Bronfman pre-Seagram's in the Prohibition. Wouldn't it be crazy if these were the culprits? And wouldn't it explain a lot about the persecution I've endured? It's one thing to be of a family thrice removed from the king of France in the 18th century on this side of the Atlantic. But that's just a lot of hate!? Wow. I could be wrong. But my hunch says otherwise. You guys have to seriously get a life and clear your guilty consciences.
