New Release!
Digital music can mask indie artists' tracks that deviate from their usual style. Ballads, experimental tracks etc are an indulgence of the very exposed.

That was in St Moritz (Switzerland) not in the Italian Olympics though.

But the real reason may be here instead : the US troops would take a beating from the European troops (particularly the Finnish) if they ventured into invading Greenland.

Statement by Prime Minister Carney on the tragic shootings in Tumbler Ridge
February 10, 2026 Ottawa, Ontario "I am devastated by today's horrific shootings in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. My prayers and deepest condolences are with the families and friends who have lost loved ones to these horrific acts of violence. I join Canadians in grieving with those whose lives have been changed irreversibly today, and in gratitude for the courage and selflessness of the first responders who risked their lives to protect their fellow citizens. Our ability to come together in crisis is the best of our country - our empathy, our unity, and our compassion for each other. I have connected with Premier Eby to express my condolences, and with the Minister of Public Safety, Gary Anandasangaree, who is coordinating the federal response. Our officials are in close contact with their counterparts to ensure the community is fully supported as best we can. The Government of Canada stands with all British Columbians as they confront this horrible tragedy."

Trump is actively making our goods more expensive by blocking a piece of key infrastructure - apparently all because his most Epstein-linked Cabinet Secretary conveyed a request from a billionaire GOP donor. America does not have to tolerate this kind of corruption.

Every country surely must understand by now that any agreement they have entered into with the US and any agreement they are currently negotiating is utterly worthless while Trump is president.

We’re getting the housing supply up so your costs come down.

A key part of that mission is converting federal lands into housing more quickly.

We are making it easier for Canadian drivers to charge their EVs by building a national charging network.

No matter where you are in Canada, charging your car should be as simple as filling your gas tank.

Canada: The bridge that carries 25% of our trade is at capacity, We should build a 2nd one.

US: We don't want to pay for one.

Canada: Okay, we'll pay, but build it together.

US: Nice, thanks, Let's do it.

Canada & US build bridge together, Canada pays.

US: You took advantage of us!

Canada: 🙄

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

Awful. On a related note, might be interested to know that both BCI + CPP Investment Board seem to be cool with using millions of our BC and Canada pension $$ to invest in the Gestapo’s favourite company, Palantir. See thread👇

Excellent day to note that BCI + BC Public Sector Pension Plans (covering ~775,000 British Columbians) have big $$ invested in PALANTIR, which is enabling the ICE secret police and its horrific terror campaign.
Time to divest from fascist-friendly firms!

Trump threatens Canada again: "Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. I will not allow this bridge to open until the US is fully compensated for everything we have given them."

The entire $6.4 billion cost for the bridge was funded entirely by Canada. #CdnPoli
Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump + As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just "take advantage of America!" What does the United States of America get Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China which will eat Canada alive. We'll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
