Just to provide context that the narrative Trump conveys is fake as usual and extremely hypocritical. America by sheer numbers trades more with China but even by percentage:

The article is relatively short and has tons of stuff, highly recommend people read through it.

British Columbia legislator Dallas Brodie, whose OneBC party has removed her as leader, says the split happened after colleagues tried to stop her from firing a caucus staffer whose views on Jewish people were "disgusting" and antisemitic.

Brodie said she wanted the man removed because she is not a "neo-Nazi," and it was "obscene" to think that the man's views could be in the party.

......

Thielmann says in a social media post on Monday that he and Ratchford advised Brodie against firing the staffer, who he calls "a 22-year-old brown kid who was being made out to be a 'white supremacist'" and they instead wanted to "mentor" him.

.......

Brodie said she had clashed with the young staffer over a message he wanted to post under her name on social media platform X.

"I think it said the NDP or somebody is anti-civilizational, and that they want the province to be run on drum circles and powwows," she said.

This was the lady that was too nutty for the BC Conservatives and got removed 9 months ago to form her own party to get seemingly removed today from her own party.

"We don’t benefit from any of the profits or anything like that, but we’ve got to deal with a lot of the extra negativity and scrutiny behind all the gambling stuff. And then on top of that, it creates more integrity issues, etc. So I’m not sure what the answer is going forward, but definitely something that people have got to spend more time having conversations about.”

I can't believe this guy is considered to be intelligent.

1. The guy with one of the largest contracts in league history($285m/5yrs) and Player's Union VP says they don't benefit from all the extra revenue they get from the 50/50 split. The latest CBA even allows them to own less than 1% of sports betting company.

2. Even if they got more money that doesn't make any of this gambling stuff okay.

Google paid for an Oregon city’s lawsuit against a local newspaper that was seeking water consumption figures for a data centre. The suit was eventually dropped, and the figures revealed the Google data centre accounted for a quarter of the city’s water use in 2021.

There's been a lot of talks for government investment into AI for Canada in the recent boom, but I've never seen anyone make a compelling argument what the practical implementation of it would be.

Generally people are only talk about building AI Datacenters in Canada and they've been known to be extremely large user of fresh water and energy. Which has directly impacted people cost of living with much higher utility costs being passed on them only for some short term construction jobs, moderate tax gains and the handful of jobs a data center employs.

And as usual you know it's bad stuff with Alberta/Danielle Smith leading the way and well known grifter getting involved.

· Letter Mail Delivery Standards: Canada Post will introduce flexibilities to reflect today’s lower volumes. The average household receives just two letters per week, yet operations remain designed for far higher volumes. By adjusting standards so that non-urgent mail can move by ground instead of air, the corporation will save more than $20 million per year.

· Community Mailbox Conversions: The government is lifting the moratorium on community mailbox conversions. Currently, three-quarters of Canadians already receive mail through community, apartment, or rural mailboxes, while one-quarter still receive door-to-door delivery. Canada Post will be authorized to convert the remaining 4 million addresses to community mailboxes, generating close to $400 million in annual savings.

· Postal Network Modernization: The moratorium on rural post offices, in place since 1994, will also be lifted. The rural moratorium was imposed in 1994 and covers close to 4000 locations. It has not evolved in 30 years, but Canada has changed. This means that areas that used to be rural may now be suburban or even urban, but are still required to operate as rural post offices. Canada Post must return to the government with a plan to modernize and right-size its network.
