And on this rather dreary day here comes bloom number two.

Started to watch. Bookmarked for later when I'm focused. Thanks for sharing.

Comparing WW2 to today's Iran/US/Israel war and oil as energy.

"Unlike today’s global oil market, governments did not worry about rising gasoline prices for consumers. Instead they feared running out of fuel entirely."

I'd like to see the two narratives blended. Yes there are 'bad guys" in every culture/tribe/collective, but there are "good guys" too. I've yet to find any culture that truly runs on compassion. All exploit however. The only way through is by uniting, and caring. This is a good start.

I'm so naive I had to look up the word "Psyops". In the end it meant exactly what I thought it meant. Interesting that these people who are so stupid know a great deal about psychology. Still, I'm not buying a gun to defend myself. If we do that we've already lost. We become them.

I'm not having good feelings about the future. I'm hoping it's just a natural sign of getting older. I feel anger and anxiety is increasing and now this www.cbc.ca/news/science... Am I over-reacting? Is the universe simply unfolding?

I just got up and now I see it's almost time for my nap.
Who says time change is bad for your health?

When media start posting pictures similar to this coming out of Iran, maybe then world opinion will shift? Certainly equally disturbing scenarios are happening anywhere there is war. Stop showing drones & technology. Show humans. Words like "hit very hard" mean scenes like this. Just sayin'

"Right now there is no reliable evidence that Carney actually said the F-word at that dinner, and the clip appears to be unverified social-media content rather than confirmed footage."

No it is an altered clip. I was fooled by it.

The clip has been altered. It’s not real. I heard he had uttered the F word but this not that.

According to sources this is AI. F*ck😂

Canadians feel the pinch at the pump as conflict in the Middle East drives up gas prices | CBC News Canadians saw fuel prices climbing across the country this week as the conflict in the Middle East drives up the price of oil.

There's really no story here. It's all so obvious. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Why not focus on the alternatives and ramp up the transition? Electric vehicles. Bikes. Guelph electric bus. Walking.

The 20th century was slave to oil. We've moved on.

Stop living in the past.

Why war, why now?

'This is a war on the city': Tehran resident on fear, flight and daily strikes | CBC Radio As the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran enters its seventh day, and continues to spread across the Middle East, As It Happens host Nil Kӧksal speaks to a resident inside Iran's capital.

"I mean, it is crazy, isn't it? You hear the man talking about picking Iranian future leader as if we are nobody here. But we are somebody in this country, and this is our war, and we wanted to fight it."

Isn't it pronounced "Clode" not "Clod"? It's a French name, Claud, named after the person who invented it. Am I wrong?

The problem with increasing military spending is that while you might need to defend yourself, you're never going to buy all that stuff and never use it. At some point you going to want to launch, fire, deploy just to see what happens. It's human nature. What if...

Another reason Trump launched war? Carney, an economics expert, is wiping the floor with him on trade. So Trump took the focus off tariffs and trade and placed it on war. Carney has hiccupped a couple of times but I think he'll reset. www.cbc.ca/news/politic... PS He has security clearance!

Yes, and it appears we're heading in that direction. European countries are getting pulled in. 😢

Re-read Carney's response. Peacekeeping is military involvement. Also with Trump threatening annexing Canada is the USA still considered an ally? He doesn't say. 😊

Prime Minister Mark Carney said he could not categorically rule out the possibility of Canada getting involved militarily in the conflict, telling a news conference the nation will "stand by our allies when it makes sense."

That could mean anything - peacekeepers?
