Private interests, ok, but public interest actions driven by political concerns can take priority over legal considerations.

Journals may be limited to what is done legally, as a "legal record," but this includes a prorogation which was treated as legal and effective until only later when it was determined to have been illegal.

IMHO, DJT will never resign. Instead, if removed from office he'll run as independent 3rd candidate, steal conservative votes from Republicans and Democrats will sweep the 2020 election.

If removed from office or forced to resign (like Nixon), Trump will run as independent candidate, his base will stay with him and Republicans will lose big time, giving Democrats a clean sweep.

We've learned about Russian bombing or artillery attacks on #Ukraine hospitals and schools but what about prisons? There must have been thousands of Ukrainians being held in jail for criminal offences. Were they let out, relocated to underground shelters (impossible, too many)?

U.S. Speaker election debacle would never happen in Canadian House of Commons as Speaker is not a political player. Also, vote is by secret ballot. Yet another reason to be grateful for the differences in our political system.

Today on my bike at Rideau & King Eddy red light, car pulled beside me, opened their window & threw garbage on the street. Got off my bike, picked up their garbage & threw it back in their car. Passenger was shocked, driver yelled, then drove thru red light with garbage. #ottcity
