Trumpโ€™s fraud stunt with the tariffs on China, cost the US economy $1.65 trillion, which was wiped out in seconds.

Brian Allen - While the country was distracted by Charlie Kirkโ€™s
assassination, the Senate quietly voted to block the release of the Epstein files.
51โ€“49.
One vote short of transparency.
And not a single outlet led with it.
They know exactly what theyโ€™re doing. #cdnpoli

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: If Charlie Kirk wasnโ€™t a right-wing extremist, right-wing extremist groups wouldnโ€™t be marching to honor him.

Mark Carney's climate hinge point is at hand Why the prime minister's promise of a "carbon competitiveness strategy" is about more than just reducing emissions โ€” and why it might set Canada up for success

Climate policy is no longer merely about reducing emissions or averting a crisis in the future. It's now a key part of the ongoing geopolitical conflict between China and the United States โ€” one that presents a clear risk to Canada's interests. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/09/10/o...

That was one of the most batshit press conferences of Trump's public life. He brandished a photo of Putin and promised to deploy the US military to occupy Chicago, New York, and San Francisco. A sane country would be moving toward impeachment and removal right now.

How Mark Carney and the baby boomers can save Canada The prime minister ought to challenge the most self-interested generation in history to step up for their country โ€” elbows and all โ€” and make a sacrifice.

I am a boomer and i agree with the the National Observerโ€™s Max Fawcett on this. Boomers with incomes in excess of 100k per year should take abit less to assist the younger generation and Canada.

Just because you donโ€™t spend time thinking about it, or you donโ€™t understand it, or you actively try to ignore it, doesnโ€™t mean it wonโ€™t rip apart your world & destroy everything you love.
