Carney is trying to get ahead of criticisms by saying this announcement is tied to others: carbon capture (a snake oil solution to climate change used to extract more oil from depleted wells) And ocean conservation efforts (good! But not enough to mitigate the pipeline harm!!)

Trump reveals location of US snipers and drones, makes his future Triump Arch a legitimate military target for any adversary the US is at war with.
At the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes, I have agreed to convert the magnificent Triumphal Arch, planned since the Civil War Era many years ago, at the Receptive Circle adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge, into a top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch, to house, store, and have the rapid ability to use large numbers of drones, plus Snipers, on both the roof and plaza areas, and additionally have and hold large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage. There will be no facility like this anywhere in the World.
Out of the 59 top cities and Capitals, Washington, D.C., IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD THAT DOES NOT HAVE A TRIUMPHAL ARCH, but it will now and, by far, the greatest of them all! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

The red carpet treatment for MAGA north / Alberta separatist "influencers" at the
@CPC_HQ Convention was a huge mistake, as I pointed out to CPC staff at the time.

If they wanted to buy a media or observer pass and "report" from the convention, no worries.
But why would Canada's founding political party give a platform or special treatment to people consistently siding with those threatening our economy, sovereignty, and unity?
If the Conservative Party is to win a future election, it must clearly distance itself from these toxic anger merchants.

The attacks on independent Canadian conservative creators by members of the Conservative establishment are extremely disappointing.
X
Independent media is the future of media in Canada. We are who the conservative base increasingly tunes into.
Criticism is fair. Disagreement is healthy. But calls for independent creators to be banned or pushed out of the movement because we don't toe the establishment line are unacceptable.
I'm sorry it we don't agree with you on everything. But that's the point of democracy.
It is healthy to have differing views, including on issues like the trade war.
Conservatives should be able to debate one another without questioning whether someone belongs in the movement simply because they hold a different view.
Monolithic thinking is not healthy. Intellectual diversity is.

So Trump and the White House lied about which plane Trump was on flying out of Turkey, setting up journalists who thought they were on the same plane as the president to possibly be the target of an Iranian attack while he secretly departed on a different one. Words fail.
