Revival

The previous post reminded me of a verse of the British National Anthem – dropped some time ago, might be useful to revive.  We don’t sing the anthem very often in Canada, but I did play it for an occasion on Victoria Day. I’m not sure the original applied to either Canada or tariffs, but it still seems strangely timely - even as there has been a whiff of improvement. I like that Bob Rae made the comment that the US President’s offer on the Golden Dome could be described as a “protection racket:. Usually ambassadors don’t have to be so frank. Here is how it goes:

O Lord our God arise,

Scatter our enemies,

And make them fall!

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix,

God save us all.
