Russia is providing intelligence to Iran to help kill American soldiers and Trump does not care. Trump will always prioritize billions in "business deals" from the Russians over the lives of American soldiers.

Fertiliser disruption from Iran conflict prompts global food shortage warnings Prices have jumped and exports been hit as war puts pressure on one of the world’s largest producers

If we need to triage fertilizer, we should look to where it's most useless: ethanol (not food) and animal feed (an ultimately inefficient way of producing food).

Food not fuel or feed = less demand for land and fertilizer/other inputs + less externalities.

Lessons from functional democracies:
•Sharply reduce executive presidential power. No presidential immunity
•Don't allow political parties in power to set election district boundaries nor change them
•Make voting easy, ensure everyone can vote, including registering to vote at polls on election days

Unconditional surrender Dear Leader's and Manly Man's Man Pete Hegseth's already victorious not-war against Iran seems to be metastasizing into something increasingly out of control. This is getting messy.

USA gasoline prices are 20% lower than gas in Saskatoon, but that's mostly because of taxes. I'm good with that.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

“The historic function of fascism is to smash the working class, destroy its organizations, and stifle political liberties when the capitalists find themselves unable to govern and dominate with the help of democratic machinery.”

Putin is a terrible and overrated strategist, as recent years have shown.

However, he is a genuine opportunist who knows when to abandon allies and how to make the most of any situation.

He’s doing that now with the war involving Iran

The US and China opposed condemning Russia for it's attacks on civilian infrastructure.

They are OK with war crimes against civilians, putting them in the dark and cold at temperatures of -20° C, or -4°F.

This will not be forgotten.

Boycott the #USA and #China where you can..

Today, Europe’s energy system is cleaner, much more diverse - and much more stable than a few years ago.

Yet the developments in the Middle East remind us once again of the risks of relying still too much on fossil fuels.

Canada must stand firmly on the side of international law. If the war drags on Canada will be under enormous pressure to support the gangsters. My latest on how Canada cannot get sucked into this dangerous war.

ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).

People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...

Canadian Natural pauses $8.25-billion oil-sands expansion, citing carbon policy uncertainty Jackpine project was slated to increase Calgary-based company’s bitumen production by 150,000 barrels per day

If it wanted it could build the expansion with its 2025 net profit with $2B leftover for shits and giggles. Simply a pressure tactic to increase profits.

War? What war? Why the USA doesn't want Congress to formally declare war on Iran... and why nobody else wants them to declare a state of war.

Police action
Military operation
Engagement
Intervention
Kinetic military action
Special military operation
Regime change
