- When I asked ChatGPT if war could ever happen, it replied 'AI is designed to be a tool that can be used to assist humans, and as such, it is unlikely that it would be used to harm them. However, it is important for humans to continue to develop AI in an ethical manner, to ensure that it remains a beneficial tool for humanity.' This isn't good.

- The fact the Canadian Army has 82 Leopard 2 tanks but is hard pressed to part with just four of them to give to Ukraine is indicative of how neglected our armoured forces have been since we quit the combat mission in Afghanistan in 2011.

- The provinces want an increase from 22 per cent to 35 per cent of health-care costs. The feds are not likely to match the demand, but will certainly come close. But the most important element of the agreement is the fine print on the five priorities that the federal government has established.

- Can Canada not, at least, rescue individual women, especially those who worked with Canadians on various women’s 'empowerment programs' during the war? You would think so, but it isn’t happening quickly enough for a group of six MPs, from all parties, who have been lobbying government since October to get eight especially vulnerable Afghan women to safety.

- In a recent Ipsos survey, pollster Darrell Bricker found that 54 per cent of respondents wanted Justin Trudeau to step down in 2023. The same poll found that 59 per cent had an unfavourable view of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre. This is not a ringing endorsement of either of the two traditional parties that have ruled the roost in Canada since Confederation. In the same poll, Jagmeet Singh scored the highest approval rating of any federal leader at 53 per cent.

- The bottom line of this latest royal train-wreck? The real problem is that the British constitutional monarchy is based on an idea that is antithetical to democracy. Which is why so many countries have rejected the British monarchy, and why Canada should seriously revisit this outdated arrangement, this national hangover from colonial times.
