Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social, we want to bring the relationship with Canada to the highest level possible. I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to being the first associate member of the EU. And create a common prosperity and economic security space.

A trillion dollars over the next 5 years. Like real investors, not the imbeciles who’ve just paid lip service to the orange clown waiting for him the kick off or the end of his regime - then? Business as usual.

Congrats Canada 🇨🇦 and Saskatchewan! Data Sovereignty!! Stop US Tech Bros at the 49th $50B Bell Canada AI Fabric project. If we have to build them, no US Tech Bros companies allowed. Build them with our companies, sparingly using Canadian water, and using Canadian electricity from hydro power.

Huh. Think rising gas/diesel prices were bad this past week? Thanks Yanks. The Houthi’s are putting it to the Saudis and the Red Sea. Strait of Bab al-Mandab under Iran-backed Houthi control, which transits 3M b/. They bombed the Saudis East-West pipeline which carries 5M b/d.

His former lordship, the pompous, arrogant, self-important, pardoned felon of Crossharbour? I shouldn’t be surprised but - of course he wrote a highly sympathetic book about his mirror image.

Canada’s cadet movement is much older than many people realize, with Army Cadets dating to 1879, Sea Cadets to 1895 and Air Cadets to 1941. Today, roughly 52,000 young Canadians between 12 and 18 participate in the program through corps and squadrons spread across the country.

It’s always about the oil with those Damn Yankees. US to extend their oil reserves by 90B Venezuelan barrels over 17 oil fields - 1/3 of Venezuela’s reserves. Donroe Doctrine. Predatory American colonialism. We will never cede our natural resources to anyone. Thanks. Canada 🇨🇦

Celebrate Canada. 🇨🇦 NEVER, and I mean NOT EVER, should ANY Canadian vehicle cross the Morons bridge, the AmbASSader. And we all know the US AmbASSader is an asshole. Great to see Gordie Howe’s son Marty there in the famous hat. And a road hockey tourney. Nothing more Canadian than that.

Canadians want to buy Canadian products more than ever Statistics Canada estimates that removing interprovincial trade barriers could add $200 billion to Canadian GDP. The IMF’s upper estimate is nearly 7% of real GDP. Premiers? Remove the barriers. The real enemy is in the Whitehouse.

19-year-old Pvt. Isabella Gonzales died defending this country. Think about that while politicians demonize immigrants and terrorize Latino communities. Americans with names like Gonzales have always fought, bled, and died for this nation. RIP to her and Lt. Tyler Feehan. 🇺🇸

I'm glad that Graham Platner is out. But it is so disturbing to contemplate that the man who was *twice* elected president makes Platner look like an amateur when it comes to serial sexual assaults.

Apparently Deepseek thinks should use the Sieve of Eratosthenes to calculate the gap primes for a simple algorithm to adjust pump modulation for chiller efficiency. It even provided me a decent python script with this odd function to send all data to the PRC. Those Chinese. Bunch of jokers.

That Zelenskyy. What a great guy. He’s helping Putin keep out of trouble. First he restricted his May Day parade, and now he may avoid his economic forum in St Petersburg. Both events coulda had snipers to take Putin out. Or drones. Oh well.

Hegseth is an idiot. And a Pharisee, focused on strict adherence to written Mosaic Law and oral traditions, clashing with Jesus due to his legalistic interpretation of piety, ritual cleanliness, and traditions, which Jesus regarded as hypocritical vs righteousness, mercy, and love. Sad.

Clearly she does care. Thanks for resurfacing the Epstein issue now that there is a lull in the noise created by war with Iran. Don’t much care if you are implicated or not. You are not a victim. So you can understand how the real victims feel. Want to really help? Ensure they get a voice & a list.
