Yes I miss Stan as well. He wrote so many great songs often about Canada sung with his wonderful baritone. He left us far too soon and but left us the gift of his music.

President Obama was invited to speak at a dinner by Canada 2020, a progressive think tank. Prime Minister Carney's wife, Diana Fox Carney is their former VP of research. (She's an economist like her husband with 2 Masters' degrees). She introduced President Obama & spoke to him on stage.

She gives Royal Assent (the final step of laws being passed) on the King's behalf. She's the commander-in-chief of our armed forces (not the PM). She's final check on the govt (Dissolution and Reservation) although these powers have not been used since the 1940s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disallo...

Can't use Stornaway (the official opposition's residence) as a residence for the PM. It's not secure because it's on a residential street surrounded by other houses. (Rideau Cottage is under the umbrella of Rideau Hall's security, behind a fence with a guarded gate.)

We elected PM Carney for his experience. He's a world respected economist who's dealt with 2 economic crisis when he was Governor of the Bank of Canada & Bank of England (the 2008 financial crisis & Brexit). Unlike Poilievre, he has the knowledge, temperament & connections with other countries.

For those who don't know, this clip is from the campaign last yr on April 3, 2025. PM Carney has spent most of this past year working very hard to deepen existing security & trade alliances and to establish new partners & allies for Canada. He saw this very clearly & that's why we elected him.

The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could
Hey. 

This is a message out there to all of you who, in trying to create a tribute to our children, choose to use AI.

When you feed these images into AI, you're feeding their data set. That means they will now use little pieces of Abel and Maya and the others the next time someone asks for the image of a 12 year old. 

While most companies are trying their best, some of them aren't; a few weeks back, Grok was freely and cheerily offering up images of naked, underage children. This is horrifying.

I know that some people out there are trying to create clickbait images, but not you. You're trying to show your respect and love, but could we ask you do it in a different way? There are actual provided images of most of the victims out there; sharing those is equally as powerful and less dicey, morally. The RCMP even created a composite for you. 

Thanks.

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades.
Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just "take advantage of America!" What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We'll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
