UN nuclear watchdog chief says Iran could again begin enriching uranium in ‘matter of months’ | CNN The head of the UN’s nuclear watchdog says US strikes on Iran fell short of causing total damage to its nuclear program and that Tehran could restart enriching uranium “in a matter of months,” contrad...

“Rafael Grossi’s comments appear to support an early assessment first reported by CNN which suggests the United States’ strikes on key Iranian nuclear sites last week did not destroy the core components of its nuclear program, and likely only set it back by months.”

He treats us like his worst enemy.

We should focus on Asia too and doubling down on the CPTPP.

The worse things are for Trump the better for all the good Americans so we shouldn't hold back on retaliation. I would tariff the American service sector which has a huge surplus with us.

A 2.5% tax on money made in Canada from Canadians seems reasonable. All companies in our market pay taxes Canadian or not.

Sold 60 billion USD of them from March to April. From 426b to 368b.

It will be interesting to see the April to May data when it comes out.

Millions of people still are and they shouldn't.

Things are deteriorating rapidly as well.

There are 55 Canadians being detained by I.C.E.

And you wonder why we won’t go there!

On Gaza you have to follow @aljazeera.com for actual journalism and factual information.

Same was true on Iran during the war.

Was thinking the same thing. I guess good Im not negotiating I wouldnt even talk to Trump.

Also, without proper monitoring of food safety and disease outbreaks like bird flu anymore after neutering HHS and the CDC I don't think we should be buying US food products at all.

Shame on Ed Rogers and now cheap Rogers.

Masai easily paid for himself many times over with just franchise value alone, not to mention everything else the Raptors have become.

Heartbreaking.

Unlike trump, Carney knows what he's doing. He wouldn't let it go ahead if he didn't think it was a good idea.

Will never trust Trump, but implicitly trust Carney.

It's not going to look so good if he follows through on scrapping a trade deal with Canada in favour of an imposed tariff number.

Canada has more leverage than anyone else in the world.

Luckily TACO, because workers on both sides of the border deserve better.

Can anyone think of an American who’s more despicable, heartless, cruel and hateful than Stephen Miller?

I’ll wait…

Maybe Trump will finally realize Russia only wants the destruction of America.

Putin's been playing him.

Not by accident.
Not by mistake.
By the evil genocidal intention.
russia is casually erasing home by home in Ukraine. And it's allowed to continue this savageness with impunity.

“I’ve stood in Gaza previously and thought: wow, this is the first time I’ve had to advocate that these children are children,” UNICEF spokesperson James Elder tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social.

“There’s something deeply wrong here.”

Everyone should watch this interview: youtu.be/NUdmF0IuDYg?...

🇨🇦🇺🇦 Canada is helping Ukraine modernize helicopters to intercept "Shaheds", - Militarnyi

❗️First of all, we are talking about the installation of Canadian-made detection and targeting stations.

Morning-after regret, huh?

I'm just so weary. I feel like he's robbed us of ten years of our lives. And he's robbed our children of their futures in an America that will never exist again. I really can't imagine what's to come, but it fills me with dread. Fuck him. Fuck Fox News. Fuck the maga cult.

It isn't going to happen overnight. Unemployment rate is not bad, it went up last month as more people entered the job market. I worry about it though, but hopefully Carney can work his magic in trade and developing Canada too.

It's not, I just meant he will not.

Not enough space to squeeze everything in.

My main point was around his inability to solve any problem leading to escalating crises in the US and Middle East.

Weakened internally too. The economy too as we will see over the next months as the inventory build pre-tariffs clears out.

Is he going to start a maga training program on milking cows too?

Even the military is weakened. All the best out the door and planned budget cuts too.

So much more....

It’s not the worst idea I’ve heard today.

Absolutely right. He has not accomplished a single thing. Ukraine-Russia, Israel-Gaza, Israel-Iran, trade deals (one maybe with the UK).

In fact, he's broken more of his own deals!

He is in way over his head. He won't strike Iran unless Iran strikes US forces in the region, but it's a disaster!

Some good news!

Is maga after him now then? Iran? Both?
