18 months ago, Trump was yelling at Zelenskyy that he didnโt have any cards and was about to lose the war. Now heโs begging him to stop bombing Russia.
What would happen if Xi Jinping posted a map where ๐จ๐ณ has taken over all of East Asia, and Putin one of ๐ท๐บ having absorbed all of Western Europe? It would have been seen as either insane or dangerous - or both.
- The US Department of Agriculture correctly says on its website that "almost all" US agricultural exports to Canada face no tariffs at all
- The super-high Canadian dairy tariffs Trump often talks about are *over-quota* tariffs...tariffs that apply only after certain negotiated quantities of zero-tariff exports are met...and those quotas are rarely hit, often not even approached
- Most Canadian exports go to the US, but it's not close to "95%"; it was about 72% of goods exports in 2025, down from 76% in 2024
- The US goods-trade deficit with Canada has sometimes been $60 billion but often been much smaller, and it overwhelmingly exists for one reason: the US imports a lot of cheap Canadian oil
82 years ago today Scotty from Star Trek was shot 6 times during D-Day while fighting for Canada during WWII. On June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver, later of Sarnia, landed at Juno Beach while serving in the Canadian Army. He was wounded six times later that day by friendly fire and later became best known as Scotty on Star Trek. ๐จ๐ฆ
On D-Day, 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. The day saw 1,074 Canadian casualties, including 359 killed. It was a watershed moment in human history.
Here are Canadians stories from that day.

The constant conflict is the point. To be a big boss, you have to have enemies. You have to tell your followers that only you can protect them. If they don't exist, or are weak, create them, pretend they are strong.
Why the crypto industry backed Trump: because the crypto oligarchs want billions of dollars from the US government.

"They put themselves here for what? Because it was the right thing to do... they were not gaining territory, they were not here for riches, they were not here to conquer anything. They were really here in order to mend the future." Tom Hanks reflects on the heroes of D Day
