In the real world, the relationship between Ireland and Canada has always been difficult. Canada has always been the Anglosphere country most opposed to the Republic, and Canadian objections to Catholic emancipation held that up for years. It is said that Canadian taunts on an official visit finally forced Fine Gael to declare the Republic.
Once a nest of unionist hibernophobic bigots, Canada is now a nest of secularist hibernophobic bigots and itself a most unhappy country.
Delighted to welcome Canadian Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and Madame Diana Fox Carney to Ireland. 🇮🇪🇨🇦
An opportunity to strengthen the close bonds between our two countries.

OTD 1598 report of James MacSorley MacDonnell's attack on Carrickfergus. Garrison retreated behind the ramparts but 12 killed 'straggling abroad'. Governor called for more cavalry as little could be done without them. The Scots moved to lay 'hard siege to Belfast' #nineyearswar

Interesting Canadian replies to this.
The relationship between Canada and Ireland is flourishing — with trade increasing nearly 150% over the past decade.
In Dublin today, Taoiseach @MichealMartinTD and I focused on new partnerships in AI, health, and food security that will unlock even more opportunities for our peoples.

A country in the deepest housing shortage of its history, running the highest immigration in its history, is routing two-thirds of its new housing stock through bodies whose allocation outcomes are not published. No one can tell you, in any usable form, who is being housed, how long they waited, or on what basis.
And the person trying to buy on the open market doesn’t just get nothing back for their taxes. Their taxes are turned against them. 🇮🇪

This kind of language was pervasive when I lived in Europe over two decades ago. I never found it particularly credible, and today after years of anemic growth and a demographic crisis that threatens to become a political crisis, it is positively incredible.
Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.

O'Sullivan reported 'Having dismantled the fort and fired the church & houses, they shot down, hacked with swords, or ran through with spears the now disarmed garrison and others, old men, women, & children, whom they had driven into one heap'-Carew more brutal as war dragged on

This really was an attempted solution to the pensions crisis*. It was not a clever solution or brave, but it did allow many wealthy interests to exit the capital markets and leave ordinary investors holding the baby.
* the one they're still not talking about.

After pushing immigration as an economic cure-all, the West is now questioning its benefits. Switzerland is at the vanguard. on.wsj.com/4445Ab3

No, there's nothing unusual about it. It happens every year. Varies, generally getting stronger. Meltwater from the Greenland ice cap mostly.

An unusual cold patch of water in the North Atlantic could signal changes in a key ocean current, which would have sweeping consequences for climate.
This blob is occurring in one of the few areas where the ocean hasn’t warmed in recent decades. wapo.st/4eFPcna

Whatever you think about what happened in Belfast this week, online is not a necessary component of it. Similar things happened there when there was no Internet, no mobile phones, and the vast majority of houses didn't even have a telephone.

When the government says they want to remove the Triple Lock to 'reclaim' sovereignty, they actually mean they want Ireland to be part of a common EU military force.
