    Omnibus : 2022 Midterm Elections

    Just the biggest three, or the biggest three is Trumps mind anyway, six & a half weeks before their midterm election. What is interesting is that the world has changed though, fairly recently, and yes, you need big money to win an election, but you don’t need to be big money to be media...

    The Donroe Doctrine

    Holy Venezuela Batman!! In a Truth Social post, the US president wrote that no US enemies would be able to make sensitive investments on the island without the approval of the United States and that the agreement had no expiry date. I wonder if Denmark or Greenland are aware of this yet? "At my...

    Omnibus : 2022 Midterm Elections

    "Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United ‌States, ⁠the Trump Administration, or the United States of America," U.S. President Donald Trump said…well typed…or had someone type for him…on his own social media...

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    Russia, meanwhile, is feeling things out to see just where the line is for NATO article 5 for anybody that isn’t the United States of America being threatened, as that’s the only time that article Five has ever been implemented. http://apple.news/A_vSRixXHRI-xJ8j4fI5ggQ...

    Omnibus : 2022 Midterm Elections

    Before the first whistle – a match-up between the Bills and the Detroit Lions – singer Ed Robertson and his bandmates launched into an acapella rendition of the Canadian national anthem amid a time of tense geopolitical relations and an escalating trade war between Canada and the United States...

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

    …for no reason? Hmmmm…Egypt closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping, an act Israel had previously declared would be treated as a cause for war, and then in May 1967, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser ordered United Nations peacekeepers to leave the Sinai Peninsula for what no good...

    Alberta will now be on daylight saving time year-round, says Premier Smith

    After surveying residents on the twice annual clock adjustment, the province announced Thursday that it will no longer spring forward and fall back, as has been the case for the majority of the past 110 or so years. Manitoba arrived at the decision after Saskatchewan, Yukon, British Columbia and...

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

    Palestine’s borders are not the done deal that some claim it to be because it was never agreed upon. If these borders are between Israel and what will become Palestine, then they would have to be agreed-upon by both Palestine & Israel. Because major Israeli settlement blocs now house hundreds...

    Quebec Providing Voter Information in French only

    Canada still has two official languages though…& yes locally in Saskatchewan if I requested, I can have my drivers license exams in one of 17 different languages, but this nation’s official two languages are English and French.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    I’ve no idea what an “associate member” to the EU even means, & I don’t know if anybody else does either, but it’s not a member. I’ve no idea what Canada & the EU are or aren’t agreeing to. The geography doesn’t change. Physically Canada is now and will always be connected to exactly one...

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

    Is it? Is it really? Honest question. How many international borders for individual countries has “the world” decided upon just out’a curiosity? I’m not finding any examples, but I’m not looking very hard. I don’t have a vested interest in looking that hard. Anyway, your idea of where the...

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

    Ugh, yeah, ok, as hundreds of Iranian truck drivers are currently stuck at Iran’s border with Pakistan, unable to send their goods into Tehran’s neighbor. They say they are facing worsening bureaucratic hurdles and costs, many caused by their own government. The same thing is happening at Iran’s...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Seriously? Canada currently isn’t the 51st state. The Canadian prime minister confirmed Canada’s interest in becoming the first ever “associate member” (whatever that means) of the union, an invitation extended the previous day by EU chief Ursula von der Leyen at the European Parliament in...

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

    That’s in your mind. Others might think Palestine is Gaza and what’s now called the West Bank along with what’s currently called Israel in its entirety. Israel itself might think differently. It’s a legitimate question and that’s why I asked it, as what and where Palestine starts and stops...

    http://apple.news/Auir4B6FzTfG9vmd-EejD1A http://apple.news/AH3XIXt3jSdGjF0wHFnojrg The Wall Street Journal’s report, published Sunday, that Canada is pursuing “associate membership” in the European Union, and that the EU is “open to the idea,” was a fine piece of journalism with a lot of...

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

    Haven’t looked yet. I take 3-4 minutes about every 60-90 minutes (I call it a cigarette break cuz…) and check this and the headlines and then back to work. Trump on Monday said the U.S. is “open” to the concept of restarting negotiations between Washington and Tehran. High-level officials from...

    Oh, I’m sure we would (Canada I mean). Politics and hypocrisy are not opposite ends of the scale, but work hand-in-hand synonymously.

    Saudi Arabia intercepted and destroyed a Houthi drone south of the Islamic holy city of Mecca on Tuesday evening, according to the spokesman of the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen. Turki al-Maliki said the targeting of Mecca, which is the home of Islam's most sacred shrine and the focal point of...
