Watching all the leaders standing together at the G7, smiling and laughing, is making me....

....tear up.

Trudeau, Macron, and Biden together is heartwarming. No one there is scowling as we've seen in the last few years.

Great sight!

How many times has he complained about our allies not paying their bills? Isn't that what being presidential is all about, at least what we were told it was for four goddam years under the misbegotten "rule" of the former guy?

Nations already working on it, of course, but the G7 are "expected to pledge to donate 1 billion vaccine doses."

I noticed President Biden walked at the back of the group while chatting up PM Trudeau. I wonder if that was intentional - a marked contrast to his predecessor's boorish elbowing his way to the front of the group.
