CityNews/Canada Pulse Insights survey finds 91% of Canadians say rising gas and oil prices are hitting their personal or household finances, with almost one third reporting a major impact and many younger, lower income and middle-aged Canadians now struggling to make ends meet.
The latest Canada Pulse Insights poll shows the impact of higher gas and oil costs are already sweeping the nation—and it’s just the beginning of the supply chain wave of inflation to come. https://t.co/fbvBuPbHwX
@JoshMatlow@ambermac They have been my go-to since 1978. At the end of the day (and literally thousand’s spent on bass’ and amps), it’s all about the people who worked there and made it a place to learn and be our own rock stars…I bought the sign on the wall as my souvenir. Thanks for everything.
US-Israel nuclear trap
Under immense global economic pressure and facing a domestic inflation crisis, President Trump,in coordination with Israel,made the fateful decision on March 21 to bomb the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz.
Iran has interpreted this strike as a deliberate attempt by the coalition to trigger a catastrophic nuclear incident, a “shortcut” to victory through environmental and humanitarian disaster.
This bombardment follows only days after a projectile struck the vicinity of the Bushehr reactor, sparking widespread protests. Yesterday, Iran retaliated with a heavy strike on Dimona, home to Israel’s most critical nuclear reactor.
There is no doubt that the Iranian most modern arsenal, possesses some precision-guided missiles capable of striking Dimona reactor, and the reverse is equally true.
We are witnessing a terrifying escalation, with both nations trading threats of triggering a nuclear incident. This is the definition of wartime insanity.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that Iran has not been inspected for nearly nine months, more than enough time to have clandestinely developed a nuclear weapon.
Technically, Iran is already an ambiguous nuclear power; it possesses the chemical material, the technology means, the timeframe, and at least 4 to 6 models of modern dual-capable missiles designed to carry nuclear warheads.
What if this ends in a nuclear exchange? We must recognize the sheer madness this senseless war is driving us toward. At no point has the conflict de-escalated. On the contrary, the range and sophistication of Iranian missile launches continue to expand.
The coalition’s munitions are running low, yet Iran keeps firing; The war is becoming prohibitively expensive; inflation is surging in U.S and in the world; Gulf nations face billion-dollar losses; Asian allies are undersupplied; the Strait remains blocked; and the bombings have failed to produce the desired effect, With falling war popularity and elections approaching for Trump, and Netanyahu seeking a judicial reprieve, the pressure is mounting.
This pressure is fertile ground for nuclear escalation, the dangerous belief in a “magic bullet” that could end all problems in few hours.
However, in Iran’s case, this may only invite a devastating retaliation from hardened silos using nuclear weapons that, at a basic level, could be assembled in a week.
By targeting Natanz, the coalition has already violated Article 56 of the Additional Protocol I to the Geneva Conventions, which forbids attacks on nuclear facilities, -Even militaries -, due to the risk of “releasing dangerous forces.”
They are opening a nuclear door that is escalating faster than anticipated, and if not contained now, the fallout will be far greater than anyone predicted.

@twitandrewking Next, try William Tracey arriving with that Irish wave to be a prominent 1830 family focul point in the Ottawa Valley…the forerunners of the Eganville Leader that just two weeks ago came under new ownership to breathe life into it for maybe another century more!
@twitandrewking As always, a terrific story and investigative work…it could even be that there are “witness trees”—even if just from 80-100 years ago! Thanks Andrew!!
