Linda McQuaig tells the history -- and the real story -- behind the Liberal government's attempt to close a tax loophole: Twenty-five years ago, Brian Mulroney’s Conservative government introduced a tax change beneficial to wealthy families owning private trusts.

Trump was afraid to help a dying man at Mar-a-Lago because he was bleeding https://t.co/3SXrwziabU pic.twitter.com/jxgesI2FJz — Justin Miller (@justinjm1) September 28, 2017 There you go. Why would Trump care about a protester being killed in Charlottesville? About people being denied health care in this country? Or about American citizens dying in Puerto Rico? He simply doesn't care. And if he is so heartless that he can even turn away when somebody is dying right in front of him. Then how can any American really believe he would care about them? (Here is the original article.)

Commentaries, Analysis, And Editorials -- Spetember 28, 2017
*Uri Friedman, The Atlantic:* *How to Tell If North Korea and America Are Actually Headed to War* *Watch what Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un do, not just what they say.* There are moments—like when the American president threatens to “totally destroy” the nation of North Korea and its raving mad “Little Rocket Man” of a leader, while the North Koreans suggest they’ll retaliate against this “declaration of war” from a “mentally deranged U.S. dotard” by downing U.S. military planes and exploding a hydrogen bomb over the Pacific Ocean—when one gets the distinct impression that the Uni... more »

Why China Will Never Crackdown on North Korea
*Joseph A. Bosco* *Security, Asia* [image: BRICS leaders attend the BRICS summit in Xiamen, China] Beijing is content sticking with its erratic buffer ally, Western concerns aside.

In 1920, only two years after the end of World War I, German submarines remained fresh in lawmakers’ minds. Today, however, critics are complaining that the law is exac... more »

Of course, Nick thinks the BBC is pretty much getting it about right and that the BBC is much 'greater' and much more 'super' (one for Reggie Perrin fans) than mean, dodgy old social media, but he also cites an old Steve Hewlett programme on Channel 4 that deliberately set out to shine the spotlight on voices that go against the liberal consensus and suggests that the BBC might pursue that route. It sounded excellent. A much greater plurality of voices is ce... more »
