Turkey the linchpin of European security again in play
Turkey, once near collapse under debt and scarce fuel, is being courted by both East and West as its army lags at half capacity. Its strategic location links Europe to the Middle East and the Soviet border, while NATO requires Ankara’s ground forces and straits control.

Trudeau urban focus ignores municipalities in new constitution
Ottawa columnist notes Canada's draft constitution elevates federal and provincial levels while urban areas lack formal input. Urbanization outpaces rural bias, with ministers from cities underrepresented. Montreal stands out with cabinet heft. Question remains if any constitution recognizes municipal government or a House of the Federation.
