Pakistan has been supporting the Taliban for decades. Why all of a sudden are they attacking Afghanistan? I've missed reporting on this.

I think our province could use 75 million on other things such as paying doctors, nurses, opening surgical units, teachers etc etc

So apparently if you give Trump an expensive gift he’ll let you build a military base in the US interior? Is there a list of his recent impeachable offenses somewhere?

Let me get this right… GOP has power in the House, the Senate, and the White House (not to mention SCOTUS) but a government shutdown is the Dems fault???

This is #DonaldTrumpsShutdown

BREAKING — Employees at multiple government agencies have received an email from their leadership with text clearly dictated by The White House regarding a potential government shutdown.

So far HHS, Interior, and Social Security have gotten this message, the text of which was shared with me:

Subject: Planning for Potential Lapse in Funding

President Trump opposes a government shutdown, and strongly supports the enactment of H.R. 5371, which is a clean Continuing Resolution to fund the government through November 21, and already passed the U.S. House of Representatives. Unfortunately, Democrats are blocking this Continuing Resolution in the U.S. Senate due to unrelated policy demands. If Congressional Democrats maintain their current posture and refuse to pass a clean Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded before midnight on September 30, 2025, federal appropriated funding will lapse.

A funding lapse will result in certain government activities ceasing due to a lack of appropriated funding. In addition, designated pre-notified employees of this agency would be temporarily furloughed. P.L. 116-1 would apply.

The agency has contingency plans in place for executing an orderly shutdown of activities that would be affected by any lapse in appropriations forced by Congressional Democrats. Further Information about those plans will be distributed should a lapse occur.

Obviously, he forgot his history regarding Wilson and FDR.

There is an erroneous CBC report this morning implying that strong mayor powers have been used 81 times in Ottawa. In fact, I have explicitly relinquished the opportunity to use strong mayor powers 81 times. In 75 cases, I was declining the right to veto a decision of council.
