I wish that all media would stop printing or televising headlines/stories that start with "Donald Trump says." When at least 1/2 of what comes out of his mouth (that originates in his ass) is a lie, why bother wasting the paper or air time.

CAIRO (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump said a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could come as early as Wednesday, as Iran and Oman inched toward an agreement on the critical waterway that could ease pressure on the global economy and potentially help bring an end to the war.

This is genuinely astonishing: a piece by the Globe and Mail’s editorial board lamenting the “new normal” of wildfires and summer smoke and no mention whatsoever of a) climate change, or b) the burning of fossil fuels that causes it. #cdnpoli www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit...

🧵 NEW POST: Edmonton’s $15M infill property tax dividend Matching permits to assessment data shows that small-scale infill from just 2024-26 will grow the tax base by $1.8B, and revenues by $15M. That's equivalent to a 0.7% property tax rate increase! #yegcc www.jacobdawang.com/blog/2026/pr...

Trump: "Look at the beautiful ballroom and military center. It's a military center. We have a drone port on top. Look at the grass in front of the White House being all replaced with the top stuff. Scotts. You know Scotts? Scotts Miracle Grow. They do great grass. Got to give them a plug." #cdnpoli

My piece in today's Winnipeg Free Press. Trump threatens tariffs over Canada's wildfire smoke. Well, turnabout is fair play. He's allowing dread disease-carrying ticks to cross the border to Canada. Time for tariffs and export taxes! #NoTrumpTicks #Satire www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

Opinion: Ticked off by Trump’s tantrums

U.S. President Donald Trump recently threatened tariffs on Canadian products for the wildfire smoke that wafts across the border.

"As horrific as this summer has been, it is not some new normal — the misleading catchphrase in so many dispatches that attempt some climate change context. It is, in fact, “just the beginning....It will inevitably get worse. It will get worse and worse and worse. t.ly/uS3Om

For the enlightenment of the 💩🤡s going after Fauci:

“We will have to try to adapt because we are in a new climate now. Canada is warming twice as fast as the global average, so this is the canary in the coal mine for the rest of the world. This is what happens when we heat the planet, we change the ecosystems & get catastrophic disasters.” t.ly/rNOcy

"cities in Canada are responsible for 50 per cent of public spending, but collect just 12 cents of every tax dollar... That leaves them structurally dependent on Ottawa & their provincial masters & increasingly unable to invest in the sort of physical and economic infrastructure needed. t.ly/ZbQnk
