BREAKING: While Trump was busy calling Carney "Governor," Europe was voting 482-108 to make Canada their most important ally on the planet.
Canada didn't get annexed.
Canada got adopted.

We’re making the path to permanent residence simpler for international medical doctors to support a stable health care system for Canadians by offering doctors:
•5 options to get permanent residence through Express Entry and regional, provincial and territorial programs
•faster 14-day work permit processing for medical doctors nominated by a province or territory, so they can work while waiting for permanent residence

Medical doctors can also include their family members in their application.

🌎 Citrini Research just dropped a provocative thesis:

⚠ We’re heading toward a “2028 Global Intelligence Crisis.” ⚠

➡ The core idea?
AI is making intelligence abundant — and the global economy isn’t built for that.

Here’s the breakdown 👇

1/🧠 AI agents are removing friction everywhere.
*By 2026–27:
• Autonomous AI handles shopping, taxes, insurance, legal work
• Commerce shifts to automated optimization
• Industries built on complexity & information asymmetry collapse

2/💼 White-collar displacement accelerates.
AI replaces knowledge work → Displaced professionals move down the wage ladder → Labor supply rises → Wages compress across sectors.
*This spreads beyond tech.

3/🏢 SaaS & private credit are exposed.
Many leveraged software deals assumed perpetual growth.
But AI reduces demand for service-heavy SaaS.
*Results:
• Downgrades
• Defaults
• Risk repricing

4/🏠 Households weaken quietly.
Prime borrowers still pay mortgages…
But they’re tapping savings & credit.
Income compression → Spending slows → Debt-to-income rises.

5/ 🔁 A negative loop forms:
AI → layoffs → lower income → weaker demand → more automation → repeat.

At the same time:
Income stress → tighter credit → weaker wealth effect → slower economy.

6/ 🏛 Governments face structural strain.
Tax systems rely on labor income.
AI shifts income toward capital & compute.
Less payroll tax.
More pressure on safety nets.

⚠ The big idea:

For 200 years, human intelligence was scarce.
Now it isn’t. The report argues we’re entering a painful repricing as “intelligence premium” unwinds. Not necessarily collapse — but transition.

Agree or not, the thesis is clear:
AI isn’t just a tech cycle.
It’s a macroeconomic restructuring event.
Worth thinking about.

The Fall of the Neo-Ottoman Dream at the Hands of #Somaliland

​Behind the mask of piety and clean Islamic rhetoric lies a sinister agenda to destroy Muslim nations and revive an empire that collapsed in the most humiliating way in history.

​While many bowed down, Somaliland stood as the fortress that shattered Erdogan’s expansionist illusions.

​- Somaliland is the power that brought Erdogan to his knees before Abiy Ahmed.

- Somaliland is the reason he is begging world powers to block a recognition that would bury his colonial ambitions forever.

​The Truth Somaliland has disciplined the Neo-Ottoman delusions and halted their toxic spread. International recognition of Somaliland is the final nail in the coffin of these imperialist fantasies!

Pakistanio, this isn’t New York, it’s Ethiopia, a third world country. Now look at your own cities, can even one match this standard?

[Rauda Altenaiji @FormulaRauda]

Take your hands off Sudan before talking about regional stability. Tigr designated marksman rifles (DMRs) and Saiga-MK rifles, ring a bell?

The facts are simple. Somaliland is rising whether you recognize it or not. Ethiopia is a strong reliable partner that does not bend to foreign interferences. The Horn of Africa is a region that is undergoing major shifts. Turkey can keep coming out with statements after statements, but it will not stop the success that is being achieved by the people of that land.
