T"he image of the fiery demonstration in the composite shared by the Oregon Republican party turned out to be another image from the free archive site Pexels. It was taken by a Brazilian photographer in 2017."

Mark Carney’s Secret Weapon? Being Reasonable The power of looking like you’ve got this

Carney's got this.

Trump is scared; the tariff fiasco is back-firing, the Epstein files won't go away, the shutdown is rightfully blamed on the Republicans. He desperately needs a win.

Carney is wise, experienced, and patient.

Mark Carney’s Secret Weapon? Being Reasonable The power of looking like you’ve got this

Canada's PM Mark Carney accepted Trump's invitation to Washington. He's there today.

Meanwhile, Trump is now trying to frame this as Carney wanting to talk to Trump. 🙄

I'd say, Trump is running scared. Tariffs and corruption are back-firing.

Carney's got this.

Trump’s Own Tweet on Portland Backfires as Judge Deals Him Harsh Loss As a judge’s blunt ruling blocks Trump from deploying troops in Portland, Oregon’s Attorney General tells us in an interview that Trump’s lawless threats are working against him—and discusses what com...

Trump's tweet that Portland is "war ravaged" just backfired. A Trump-picked judge cited it in blocking National Guard deployment to Portland, declaring him "untethered from facts."

On the pod, Oregon AG Dan Rayfield illuminatingly explains the ruling and what's next:

"FINTRAC isn't keeping tabs on which companies operate these machines, how many they're running in Canada, etc. Instead, crypto ATM operators are classed as a "money services business," a designation that includes foreign exchange dealers, regular ATMs, etc."

I did find a Lion's Mane that big on Vancouver Island. I have a photo to prove it.

It was on a fallen Big Leaf Maple washed down river and onto a beach by an atmospheric river in December 2023.

Brave people giving it all to preserve democracy.

This is what it takes, sadly.

Powerful writing.

It isn't just Montreal suffering from the outdated and dangerous attitudes described here. I see it today in the work submitted to my small town council as an "update" to the Official Community Plan. Almost complete dismissal of bike infrastructure.

That is exactly it. An educated population is a threat the the extremists trying to disguise themselves as 'conservatives'.

There is nothing 'conserving' about the UCP in the true sense.

They have no interest in conserving anything other than their own power and wealth.
