Alberta separation would cause the economy to: - Drop by 7.2% in year one - Personal incomes drop by 6.2% - Business investment falls by 8% - Trade costs increased by 12% I thought the Alberta separation boys and girls said things would be better? www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Opinion: The numbers Alberta separatists don’t want you to see
Far from being the economic boon the Alberta Prosperity Project predicts, separation would cost Albertans billions of dollars - and jobs

Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control. “It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.

Tear Gas Is Way More Dangerous Than Police Let On
In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, law enforcement agencies have used tear gas in especially dangerous ways. The chemical agent also seeps into homes, contaminates food, furniture, skin and surf...

If the United States and Russia reach any kind of deal that allows Russia a US partnership in the arctic and access to Alaska's mineral resources then the US will not only be funding Russia's war against Ukraine but also helping prepare the invasion of Canada and the rest of Europe.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

By the way, the US striking Iran’s nuclear facilities and infrastructure gives Russia the green light to strike Ukraine’s nuclear facilities & infrastructure. This is another reason it’s forbidden under international law. Trump is escalating danger everywhere.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

Trump's 10 percent "baseline" tariffs will have no impact except to jack up prices for Americans. They give us no negotiating leverage. They will not move 1 single manufacturer job to America. Trump's tariff gambit is one of the great blunders in American economic policy history.
