@BenMulroney There are also more than 12 diseases Ben, want to take this statement back now or does your only one thing per month rule only apply when you're hating on immigrants?
Worse than that, and this is ONE story.
Sazan was a protected marine national park. On Dec 30, 2024, weeks before the inauguration, Albania de-protected it and handed Jared’s affiliate “strategic investor” status for fast-tracked permits. Locals already call it Ishulli i Trumpëve. Trump Island.
The buyer is Affinity Partners. Biggest backer: Saudi Arabia’s PIF, $2B, placed six months after Jared left the White House, over the objections of PIF’s own screening committee (“inexperienced,” “excessive fees”). MBS overruled them.
Kushner’s pulled $110M+ in fees from the Saudis for a fund that, by its own filings, returned NOTHING. Foreign money in Affinity jumped from ~$3B to $4.8B across 2024, right as a second term got likely.
On the ground, bulldozers in a flamingo habitat, no permits, no environmental study. A protester who objected got beaten by private guards while police watched.
Albania’s anti-corruption prosecutors have now opened an inquiry into how the land lost its protection.
So no, it’s not a private island they “discovered.” It’s a national park a foreign government de-protected, financed by sovereign wealth the Saudis’ own analysts flagged as a bad bet, routed through the president’s son-in-law.
Canada has always been a nation of risk-takers and explorers.
An honour to welcome Jeremy Hansen, Jenni Gibbons, and the entire Artemis II crew to Ottawa today.
Ce fut un grand honneur de rencontrer le premier ministre Mark Carney aux côtés de mes coéquipiers d’Artemis II et de Jenni. Je suis profondément reconnaissant du soutien que les Canadiens continuent d’offrir à notre équipage et à notre programme spatial.
I was honoured to carry the words of His Majesty King Charles III on Artemis II. His reflections on science, responsibility, and what we hold sacred stayed close, all the way around the Moon and back to Earth. @RoyalFamily
PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."
100 billion for a tunnel.
No money for OSAP.
10 million for strippers.
No money for healthcare.
29 million for a private jet.
No money for education.
THIS IS FISCAL CONSERVATISM.
Every time they are in office they rob us blind. Feather their little nests like Mike Harris did. Kickbacks, gifts, missing funds. It's not a one off. Mike Harris opened the door in Ontario to privatized long term care. When he left office he just "happened" to be made CEO of a long term care company and owns a few of his own. Andrew Scheer paid for his kids private education and a minivan from party funds until he was caught. Now Doug Ford is telling us we are broke while buying a private jet for his use. It's not a bug, it's a feature. The Conservatives will watch people suffer while enjoying their perks. The suffering only adds to their pleasure. @fordnation
Men will literally look at a woman who is a mechanical engineer and an astronaut who has been in space longer than the other 3 male crew members COMBINED and is one of 4 people to be as far from earth as she has…then comment on what she looks like.
Doug Ford is making it illegal to request information from the government because of "the Communist Chinese" who are infiltrating our education system. His words, not mine. #ontario#onpoli#dougford#frankdomenic🍁
As a lil update, I'm giving myself the day off tomorrow because of all this.
I need some rest after being on the phone with police all day today and dealing with this bullshit until way too late last night.
So, I'm really sorry, but no podcast this week :(
I hope you guys don't mind ❤️
The teachers unions are begging the Ford Government to negotiate a new contract PRIOR to the start of the new academic year in the fall. The Ford Government has refused so far, creating more uncertainty for parents and students. #ontario#ontarioeducation#dougford#onted
Noted unbiased and politically savvy self made unprivileged hard working Ben Mulroney shared video game footage claiming it was airstrikes. This is the kind of stunning journalism we've come to appreciate from the man who criticizes the taxpayer funding of the CBC #canada
The history of Black Canadians is one of relentless progress, earned through perseverance, and carried forward by opening doors for so many to follow.
This week, we celebrated 30 years of Black History Month in Canada.
