I am touched, as I always am, by the courage of First Nations people and all Indigenous people. Indigenous people have been harmed by the mistakes of Canada more than anybody else, and yet no one has stood stronger in favour of fighting for this country.

Shocker. The Trump admin’s story doesn’t match reality. not even close. Trump on Mesabi Metallics’ proposed $15 BILLION steel plant in Lee County, Iowa: “They’ve already started building.” REALITY: No permits, disclosed site, or major land purchase. Financial incentives still unresolved.

France faces historic purchasing power crisis: Since 2024, families have lost €1,200/year on average
Real wages have been falling since 2019 – a rare phenomenon – but, for a long time, social transfers and income from assets made up for it. In 2025 and 2026, that is no longer the case. As a result, average purchasing power fell over two consecutive years, something that only happened twice since 1960.
