West end of Algoma; trains come here. Listen to Dire Straits. I work in the front row of the garden of small potatoes concert production for artists like Fred Eaglesmith. I write random haikus that make Vogon poetry look good. Currently driving.

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.
A vertical graphic on a white background displays an October 9, 2026, joint statement from the foreign ministers of Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The full statement, presented in black serif text, reaffirms unwavering support for the International Criminal Court (ICC), strongly opposes U.S. sanctions against the Court, warns of their impact on its work, staff, and families, and pledges continued support for international justice, accountability, and the rules-based international system.Marco Rubio, mouth agape, as he announces sweeping sanctions on the ICC to try to punish them for acknowledging Bibi Netanyahu’s war crimes

Trump sanctioned the International Criminal Court while simultaneously easing sanctions on Russia which is massacring Ukrainian civilians. A masterclass in criminality and corruption.

The US blacklisted the International Criminal Court on 9 October 2026, just hours after former ICC judge Navi Pillay won the Nobel Peace Prize. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, a convicted criminal, has spent years shamelessly coveting the peace prize.

The Trump regime wants to dismantle the International Criminal Court because it plans to continue committing war crimes. The Trump regime is refusing to allow international election monitors because it plans to continue committing election fraud. They are not being subtle.

ZELENSKYY: At this very moment, when we are talking about peace, America gives Russia the opportunity to export diesel — that's millions, billions. It all goes toward the war against people, against Ukraine, against all of us.

Canadian dollar exchange is approximately .67 US Dollar. With the relatively high exchange rate, USA buying from Canada is always easier than Canada buying from USA. It's another reason we won't travel to the USA from Canada or purchase from the US. Added tariffs and fuel cost make it prohibitive
