BREAKING: POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE! Prime Minister Mark Carney announces that Canada is in talks to join a "unique alliance" with the European Union — cutting Trump off at the knees.
The world is shifting beneath our feet for good...
"What we are looking — and will begin discussions for — is a unique alliance between Canada and the European Union," Carney said. "We share the same values, we have the same priorities and we have very complementary strengths."
He added that Canada is not looking to become a "member" of the EU, but the roadmap he's laying out could be the best of both worlds. A possible "associate member" status would deepen trade ties between Canada and a roughly $21 trillion single market. At the same time, the unique status of this new relationship would allow Canada to maintain its national identity in a meaningful way.
Carney is traveling to France and the United Kingdom this week, will deliver an address to the European Parliament, and will attend the State of the European Union address by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Strasbourg.
According to the Globe and Mail, it was actually the EU who suggested this special associate membership, a new, specially created status, the details of which are still being ironed out. It would represent an unprecedented move by the EU, which has been rigid when it comes to admitting non-European nations.
This astonishing development comes as Trump continues to escalate his trade war and deranged rhetoric against the United States' northern neighbor, shredding our closest alliance. The White House has shown that we cannot be trusted to remain a stable partner because we are only ever one bad election away from empowering a demented, criminal lunatic.
Under discussion is an arrangement that would allow Canadian goods, services, and workers in crucial strategic sectors like energy, AI, and defense to move freely between their home country and the EU, essentially moving borders of the EU to encompass Canada.
On top of that, Canada and the EU are discussing joint projects like laying underwater cables, the construction of data centers, cloud storage, and other key technological endeavors. As if that weren't enough, they may end up building out new systems for delivering Canadian energy straight to the EU.
Carney, who through his bold, unprecedented leadership has staked a claim to being the leader of the free world, has spoken regularly with EU leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron, and the relationships are quickly deepening.
This was unthinkable just a few short years ago, but thanks to Trump the world is reordering itself — and leaving America in the dust.
So much for Canada becoming the 51st state.
Please ❤️ and share if you wish Mark Carney was our President!
She thrives on hate. Fear, envy, greed, naked racism, and plain old nastiness, and always punching down. She’s a whinger. She bludges on the taxpayer and is the puppet of a billionaire. Like Trump, who she clearly admires and emulates, she has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Rest in peace, Dolly Parton (1946–2026) 💔
I don’t even know how to put this into words. We lost one of the true greats today, not just in country music, but in music, period. Dolly Parton was a songwriter, a singer, an actress, a businesswoman, a philanthropist, and one of the kindest hearts this industry has ever seen.
“Jolene.” “9 to 5.” “Coat of Many Colors.” “I Will Always Love You.” These aren’t just songs, they’re pieces of all our lives because we grew up listening to them. Dolly wrote music that crossed generations, crossed genres, crossed borders. And beyond the stage, through the Imagination Library, she put books into the hands of millions of kids and changed lives in ways most artists never even attempt.
There will never be another Dolly. The rhinestones may have stopped shining today, but her music, her humor, her heart, those infectious attributes of hers aren’t going anywhere. She will shine forever.
I think this incredible tribute by @Pink captures the greatness of Dolly’s life!
Rest easy, Dolly. Thank you for the songs, the laughs, the memories, and everything you gave the world. ❤️🕊️

BREAKING: UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor unleashes a BLISTERING viral attack on Trump for starting another disastrous Middle East war: "Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran?"
This is an absolute must-read...
"And on what basis did you make this dangerous decision?" he continued in his X post. "Did you calculate the collateral damage before pulling the trigger? And did you consider that the first to suffer from this escalation will be the countries of the region itself!"
Middle East Eye describes Al Habtoor as "one of the UAE’s top businessmen." Clearly, he's terrified of this expanding war dragging the entire region into chaos.
"The peoples of this region have the right to ask as well: Was this your decision alone? Or did it come as a result of pressures from #Netanyahu and his government? " he asked.
The answer, of course, is that this conflict serves only Israel's interests. They have long wanted this war with Iran and Marco Rubio admitted that the Trump administration attacked because they thought Israel was going to attack and were afraid of retaliation against American forces.
"You have placed the countries of the #GulfCooperationCouncil and the Arab countries at the heart of a danger they did not choose," Al Habtoor continued. "Thank God, we are strong and capable of defending ourselves, and we have armies and defenses that protect our homelands, but the question remains: Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?
"For before the ink has dried on the #BoardOfPeace initiative that you announced in the name of peace and stability, we find ourselves facing a military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go? And what is the fate of the commitments made in the name of peace?"
"Most of the funding proposed in those initiatives came from the countries of the region themselves, and from Arab Gulf countries that contributed billions of dollars on the basis of supporting stability and development. And these countries have the right to ask today: Where did this money go? And are we funding peace initiatives or funding a war that exposes us to danger?" he continued.
"More dangerous than that, your decision does not threaten only the peoples of the region, but also reaches the American people whom you promised peace and prosperity. And here they are today, finding themselves in a war funded from their money and taxes, with costs ranging, according to the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), between 40-65 billion dollars for direct military operations, and could reach 210 billion dollars including economic impacts and indirect losses if it lasts four to five weeks, not to mention the sacrifice of Americans themselves in a war in which they have neither camel nor she-camel."
"You have even broken your promises not to get involved in wars and to focus only on America and put it at the top of your priorities, as you ordered foreign military interventions during your second term that included seven countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, and Venezuela, in addition to naval operations in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific Ocean. You directed more than 658 foreign airstrikes in your first year in office, which equals the total strikes in Biden's entire term, for which you directed your arrows of criticism for involving the United States in foreign wars."
"Your Excellency the President, these numbers have severely reflected on your approval ratings among Americans, which have declined since your inauguration for the second term, by about 9% in just 400 days."
"These numbers say something clear: Even within #TheUnitedStates, there is growing concern about being dragged into a new war, and about exposing the lives of Americans, their economy, and their future to unnecessary risks."
"True leadership is not measured by war decisions, but by wisdom, respect for others, and pushing toward achieving peace. And if these initiatives were launched in the name of peace, then we have the right today to demand full transparency and clear accountability," Al Habtoor concluded, tagging Donald Trump's X account.
The billionaire is clearly throwing everything that he can think of at this catastrophe in the hopes of convincing Trump to back off. But he's absolutely right on all of his points. Trump has now unilaterally plunged the Middle East into blood-soaked chaos, his approval rate is cratering, and the United States stands to gain nothing from this war. This will go down as possibly the worst decision ever made by an American president.

Trump 🇺🇸 orders air strikes on Caracas, the capital of Venezuela 🇻🇪
Acts of war. To steal oil & minerals
US 🇺🇸 foreign policy has normalised land & mineral theft
International law has been torn up
The world is run by gangsters masquerading as ‘leaders’.
Zelensky:
When Putin says, “We’re not going to attack you,” that is the first warning of exactly where his tanks will go and where his drones will fly.
And today we have every right to say this plainly: Ukraine is the only shield that separates Europe’s comfortable way of life from the Russian world.
America giving its unadulterated support to the worst war criminal of the 21st Century.
A dark day and a dark stain on the conscience of America.
This video will haunt history.
