Please support Mother Jones with a year-end donation. The truth is, we're a long way from our $600,000 goal, and we have to get as close as we can by Tuesday so we don't have to make hard decisions come January. If you value our reporting, please consider pitching in today.

$600,000

We still need to raise 400,000: Whether you can give $5 or $500, it all matters.

Carl Bildt tweets some good news:

I dunno. I just completed some extensive research on this thorny issue, and here’s my conclusion:

Sorry, Canada, this rock belongs to Denmark. Please remit “loser pays” fee of $100,000 (US dollars, mind you) to Drum Mediations LLC, Irvine, California. Failure to recognize this decision will brand you a lawless state in the court of public opinion and may even precipitate a nasty tweet from President Trump. You have been warned.
