Effective immediately, there is this BULLSHIT CEASEFIRE in the War between Iran and the US. Both parties have NOT agreed. But? who cares. Do not break it Donald. Thank you for your attention to this matter. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Fly the opposite way to create alerts over all diesel producing and storage facilities in Russia. Trump and Putin? Blood oil denied

Air raid alert in Kharkiv. Probably Trump's diesel deal is flying at us.

AI Artificial Intelligence. AI Artificial Intelligence. AI Artificial Intelligence. AI Artificial Intelligence. AI Artificial Intelligence. AI Artificial Intelligence. AI Artificial Intelligence. Thanks. Canada. 🇨🇦

A trillion dollars over the next 5 years. Like real investors, not the imbeciles who’ve just paid lip service to the orange clown waiting for him the kick off or the end of his regime - then? Business as usual.

The first-ever Canada Investment Summit kicks off today in Toronto.  Some of the largest investors in the world are here for a reason: they see our strength, they share our ambition, and they want to build big with us.

Congrats Canada 🇨🇦 and Saskatchewan! Data Sovereignty!! Stop US Tech Bros at the 49th $50B Bell Canada AI Fabric project. If we have to build them, no US Tech Bros companies allowed. Build them with our companies, sparingly using Canadian water, and using Canadian electricity from hydro power.

Huh. Think rising gas/diesel prices were bad this past week? Thanks Yanks. The Houthi’s are putting it to the Saudis and the Red Sea. Strait of Bab al-Mandab under Iran-backed Houthi control, which transits 3M b/. They bombed the Saudis East-West pipeline which carries 5M b/d.

His former lordship, the pompous, arrogant, self-important, pardoned felon of Crossharbour? I shouldn’t be surprised but - of course he wrote a highly sympathetic book about his mirror image.

Canada’s cadet movement is much older than many people realize, with Army Cadets dating to 1879, Sea Cadets to 1895 and Air Cadets to 1941. Today, roughly 52,000 young Canadians between 12 and 18 participate in the program through corps and squadrons spread across the country.

Mapquest!! Stands their ground! 1.5M downloads with usage not just downloads including lot of recommendations for upgraded features that they are already pursuing. Business is up 6000% Have you dumped Google? Apple Maps bent the knee today too. Dump them too.

“The lake, to me, is our defining symbol. The symbol of our wealth, our worth, our value. It is the metaphorical heart of our province, of our part of the world. It is where everything begins and it is where everything ends... up. “ Gord Downie on Lake Ontario.

It’s always about the oil with those Damn Yankees. US to extend their oil reserves by 90B Venezuelan barrels over 17 oil fields - 1/3 of Venezuela’s reserves. Donroe Doctrine. Predatory American colonialism. We will never cede our natural resources to anyone. Thanks. Canada 🇨🇦

Well. 212 years ago today this happened. And this past year - their imbecile in chief destroyed it for us, saving us the trouble. Try us. We’ll burn your shit. Sorry. Not sorry. Thanks. Canada. 🇨🇦 (Govern yourselves. 🪗 Accordioningly)

A Canadian (CBC) journalist, David Cochrane, famously stated about Donald Trump and the United States: “America isn't the way it is because he's president. He's president because America is the way it is." Thanks. Canada 🇨🇦 now with 50% more

The ultimate antidote to lift Canadians up after being fucked at the last minute by the US trade “negotiations “ True words. “And that's where the hornet stung me And I had a feverish dream With revenge and doubt Tonight we smoke them out” Get to a watch party near you or stream at home!!

Celebrate Canada. 🇨🇦 NEVER, and I mean NOT EVER, should ANY Canadian vehicle cross the Morons bridge, the AmbASSader. And we all know the US AmbASSader is an asshole. Great to see Gordie Howe’s son Marty there in the famous hat. And a road hockey tourney. Nothing more Canadian than that.

Canadians want to buy Canadian products more than ever Statistics Canada estimates that removing interprovincial trade barriers could add $200 billion to Canadian GDP. The IMF’s upper estimate is nearly 7% of real GDP. Premiers? Remove the barriers. The real enemy is in the Whitehouse.

I'm glad that Graham Platner is out. But it is so disturbing to contemplate that the man who was *twice* elected president makes Platner look like an amateur when it comes to serial sexual assaults.

Apparently Deepseek thinks should use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to calculate the gap primes for a simple algorithm to adjust pump modulation for chiller efficiency. It even provided me a decent python script with this odd function to send all data to the PRC. Those Chinese. Bunch of jokers.

That Zelenskyy. What a great guy. He’s helping Putin keep out of trouble. First he restricted his May Day parade, and now he may avoid his economic forum in St Petersburg. Both events coulda had snipers to take Putin out. Or drones. Oh well.

Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland should do a better job stopping russian terrorists from redirecting Ukrainian drones onto their territories. They should launch anti-radar missiles and destroy russian electronic warfare sites in Kaliningrad and Leningrad region.

So America. Ya start a war with the Israelis. Now you’re all high fives, DOW 50k, Oil sub $90 - because? You also ended it. Thanks. Rest of World (wondering what the imbecile will do next)

Hegseth is an idiot. And a Pharisee, focused on strict adherence to written Mosaic Law and oral traditions, clashing with Jesus due to his legalistic interpretation of piety, ritual cleanliness, and traditions, which Jesus regarded as hypocritical vs righteousness, mercy, and love. Sad.

Hey Trump. You backed and endorsed a loser, ensured defeat by sending Vance to “help”. That’s, let’s see? Two Vance failures in a week. Gonna back that loser in ‘28 too?

Clearly she does care. Thanks for resurfacing the Epstein issue now that there is a lull in the noise created by war with Iran. Don’t much care if you are implicated or not. You are not a victim. So you can understand how the real victims feel. Want to really help? Ensure they get a voice & a list.

Bring Ukraine into NATO as Trump threatens to leave to appease Putin. And then replace the spineless Rutte with this guy - Valerii Zaluzhnyi. He is nobody’s toady.

Fuck him. We don’t bend to Trump. Imagine the embarrassment of the Dutch with this Trump whisperer and spineless sycophant. Let’s ignore Trumps threats to leave NATO and go it alone, replacing Rutte with a strong person.

I think the TACO concept is too elementary in explaining Trump’s erratic changes. Clearly he is wearing Schrödinger's hat. His demands are both present and not. Take off the hat and he disappears onto it.
