Stellantis has sold their factory to Roshel....Government of Canada is giving Roshel $5 Billon contract...And guess what? Roshel produced over 2500 vehicles for Ukraine alone....Don't let Mark Carney fool you, this was his plan all along. defence-blog.com/canadas-5-b…

Wow. CEO Roman Shimonov of Roshel just admitted he told the Carney Government months ago they were going to buy the Stellantis Brampton plant, the BNN host say then surprised why are they acting angry over the news? Guess what, that’s exactly what they are doing, ACTING as to not look bad to the 2000 workers out of a job. Our Government pretending to act surprised about all of this is a scandal. They knew full well what was going on.

"Despite the public dismay conveyed by Carney and Joly Tuesday, sources said the federal government had been engaging directly with both companies, knew the terms of the proposed sale and did not stand in the way of it." This sequel to the Gordie Howe Bridge sucks. #cdnpoli

NEW: For a week, we pressed DND for updated information on soldiers injured in the deadly CFB Wainwright fire, including how many remained in critical condition. DND wouldn't disclose that number. So someone else did. globalnews.ca/news/12143238/…

I'm not sure Canadians grasp the scale of this catastrophe and the federal government appears to be intent on keeping it that way. Fifteen soldiers still on venitilators three weeks later, nine in critical condition. Astonishing.

I do like our flag, but it makes no sense in a Western Canadian context. It wasn't until I lived in Central Canada during autumn that I realized "ah, THAT'S why the national symbol is a red leaf."

Why did the campaign fail to convince? Here is a clue:
The Alberta referendum was an IQ test, and 75% failed.

The collapse of Reddit will be studied. After reporting earnings, its stock collapsed 30% in a single day. It's down 44% in 2 weeks. But the most important detail is what was revealed in that earnings call. The CEO said AI is killing Google search. People no longer get sent to Reddit from Google. They merely get their answers from the AI Mode itself. Even Google confirmed this themselves with their disastrous results - AI mode is cannibalising their search business. Pretty soon, no one will visit Reddit voluntarily. Its traffic will continue to crater. The worst part? Reddit isn't alone. There are millions of companies and publishers that rely on search traffic. That's what happens when you rely on a single funnel for discovery.

The independence movement in Alberta really has a straightforward path ahead of it though not an easy one. Step one: Build support for the concept across Alberta Step two: Hold a binding referendum Some folks think skipping step one is good plan. It isn't.

Watch Sage work with a student beginning to learn about the relationships between points, lines, surfaces and solids. The video shows a complete work cycle, so it is a bit long, but it shows how Sage uses tried and tru principles to build real knowledge and understanding with young learners. Sage is the first and only app/agent the truly TEACHES.

A ver si con esto entiendes zurdito: El derecho a la vivienda no construye viviendas. El derecho al empleo no crea puestos de trabajo. El derecho a la alimentación no produce alimentos. El derecho a la salud no construye hospitales ni forma médicos. El derecho a la educación no construye escuelas ni contrata profesores. El derecho al agua no crea fuentes de agua potable. El derecho al transporte no fabrica vehículos ni construye carreteras. El derecho a internet no instala cables ni construye redes. El derecho a las pensiones no crea fondos infinitos para financiarlas. El derecho al descanso no produce los bienes que permiten financiarlo. 🧐 Los derechos no son fábricas. Puedes proclamar todos los derechos que quieras, la realidad económica seguirá exigiendo trabajo e inversión.

Since 1992, Sweden has a universal voucher system for education. Taxpayer money follows the student, allowing families to choose either a municipal school or an approved private independent school at no extra tuition cost. Thus, rather than usurping the market, the government becomes a customer of it and does not remove freedom of choice from its citizens. Another example of why Sweden is not a socialist country, despite the extensive safety net it provides. Attempts to institute similar systems in the United States have unfortunately been met with howls of protest from both teacher unions and the educational establishment. The Federal Department of Education has grown to an annual budget in 2026 of $79 billion...as educational outcomes have continued to decline.
