Trump told everyone to move on. Take your complaint up with him.

“.. With the vacancy-to-unemployed ratio now below 1.0, bargaining power is again shifting back to capital and away from workers. .. This is a marked contrast with an overall economy that is running hot.”

Interesting. Actual follow up on 'the speech' is nice to see.

Jamil Jivani complaining during a Breitbart interview that he's been called a N*zi is the kind of imbecilic doltishness we've come to expect from the CPC.

The Canadian Conservative Party of Hissy Fits has thoughts...

Canada is now the first non-European country to be granted a membership in SAFE. This is a gamechanger program that means Canada can rearm our Canadian Armed Forces members more effectively and scale up our defence industries with more contracts overseas.

Carney constructs a mega anti-Trump trade alliance The Canadian prime minister is spearheading discussions between the EU and a major Indo-Pacific trade bloc after calling on middle powers to join forces.

I've been chiding Carney for a few months for being more talk than substance on some big things. But this appears to be a pretty big thing. www.politico.eu/article/eu-a...

With Latest Rollback, the U.S. Essentially Has No Clean-Car Rules

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and American Petroleum Institute, along with fossil fuel giants such as ExxonMobil and Chevron, have supported eliminating the EPA finding to reduce federal climate regulations and lower operational costs. Disgusting. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/16/c...

Alberta has no "legitimate grievances." Not a one. None. Zippo. Nada.

What it has is issues that require managing by competent politicians, not failed political hacks like Anderson.

Alberta has shitty politicians. Full Stop.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.

We really are not a very good-natured country.

ABC: Do you still have confidence in Pam Bondi as AG?

MASSIE: I don't think Pam Bondi has confidence in Pam Bondi. She wasn't confident enough to engage in anything but name calling in a hearing. So no, I don't. She was responsible for the document production.

This is significant.
Canada is the only non-European country to sign on to a program that allows access for low-interest loans for the joint procurement of military gear and weapons. It gives Canadian companies access to bid on European projects.

The Alberta Separatist Dream Where the Women Have Already Left the Chat The numbers are in, and they are not exactly the chest-thumping anthem Alberta’s separatist crowd was hoping for.

The polling numbers are in:
71% of Albertawomen will vote no if there is an Alberta referendum.
81% of them said they would move away from Alberta.

The courage of this man is impressive. The conduct of the Ukrainians makes me proud to be a human being.

You can see why the White House would want to TACO their metal tariffs.
