    How Is Your Garden Coming Along?

    We’ve got onions up, and tomato plants we planted as plants that we can see, but because it was snowing here on the May long weekend…we planted a week late and still waiting to see seedlings break the ground. Seeds in the ground less than a week, but we’re keeping them moist, & it’s been warm...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    http://apple.news/AiuT7PMMNQkyytF64Ns-izA The incident in Galați, which injured two people, prompted swift condemnation and the threat of repercussions, even as Russia denied the reports of the involvement of a Russian drone as “groundless”, etc… The strike in Romania is the latest example of...

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    US and Iranian negotiators edged toward a deal to extend their fragile ceasefire for 60 days, but the potential breakthrough was still hanging on President Donald Trump's approval, US sources told AFP on Thursday. Iranian sources cited by local media said any deal would be complete only when...

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    Huh…sounds like Iran gets a say here now. Senior U.S. officials acknowledged the framework deal following a night in which U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged “cease-fire-type” drone and missile fire in the region, highlighting the shaky nature of the ceasefire that was declared in April...

    There’s no real power there. There would be power as the Premier of Quebec, where he could really do some damage.

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    The one in the news story at the link. For power consumption they may need to enrich uranium till about 5%-10% or something like that….& for some medical research it needs to be enriched to 20%. Iran has uranium enriched to something like 60% because they don’t wanna build nuclear weapons, or...

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    Yeah, Ukraine & Israel on the same side? That sounds vaguely familiar and consistent for the last 2 1/2 years. Anyway, it’s a Thursday for the cease fire, so the second flare-up this week, coincided with the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha celebrated across the region, where multiple countries...

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    That would be interesting, with Turkey both being in NATO, and harbouring Hamas and Friends. Who jumps in which direction could come down to who pulls the trigger first. Then with Assad and his relatives camping out in Moscow after waving goodbye to Syria, well, it’s no longer under the thumb...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    The Sigmund Freud Flotilla folks have PTSD? The Jews after being attacked have PTSD? The Spanish Basque Police have PTSD? Hamas and Friends have PTSD? You yourself have PTSD? Who has PTSD?

    Iran War. . . USA Up 2-0 in the First Period

    U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was unconcerned about the political fallout of an extended conflict with Iran, and that Iranian leaders had miscalculated if they thought the November midterm ‌elections would force him into a deal. President Donald Trump’s approval rating sits at...

    Hamas attacks Israel

    They behaved like entitled children, where asked to move, & got into a pushing match with law-enforcement. Maybe they forgot they weren’t in Israel anymore? Maybe that’s just who they are? I have no idea, but the video is above, or maybe it’s above another thread? You can tell who’s who in the...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Canada is pushing more of its aluminium towards Europe to make the most of higher premiums on offer, after its neighbour the United States imposed a 50% tariff on the metal last year. A loss of Middle East ‌volumes due to the Iran war has hit Europe hardest and intensified competition with the...

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    Provincial politics as Premier of Quebec? Somehow, he’s popular out there as he’s anti-Alberta and waves that anti-flag which goes over well there. The irony would be that he ends up working with Danielle Smith on the separation issue.😂

    WE really need to get rid of this guy

    “Smell ya’ later” says the PM. Montreal-area MP and climate activist Steven Guilbeault says he will resign his seat in the House of Commons later this summer, according to a statement posted to social media. Does he have his 6yrs in to get his pension indexed to inflation for life yet...

    Iran and the US have for weeks been engaged in a war of words as they negotiate a deal with mediation efforts led by Pakistan. With no clear winner in the war, neither side appears ready to compromise on the key sticking points in negotiations, which include the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's...
