Donald Trump quite literally channelled his inner Nostradamus in August 2024!

Wonder what SpaceX engineers accomplished over the past 5 days? 🤔🫣
Anybody know what this is?!! No satellites on the launch schedule. Viewed at Warderick Wells Exuma Land and Sea Park. Please pass around, I’d like an answer. @astrojaz.bsky.social ??

Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances of 1994

A mineral provision agreement with Ukraine is its security guarantee…..

….. it’s unrealistic to think such an agreement would exist without US entities being present through investment, operations, shipping, and, yes, security to ensure its success. Protection of operations = protection of Ukraine!

Not many conflicts end without an international peacekeeping mission. But of course Russia doesn’t want one in Ukraine ….

…. That would complicate the plan to use a cease fire to replenish arms and restart the conflict in a few years when the timing suits with peacekeepers then in harm’s way.

In case anyone is interested in the opinion of Canadians in December 2024 about joining the US as the 51st state…

…. pre trade war threats, chaos and disruption but still not very favourable!

Hands up if you feel safe flying a US based airline over the next four years!

Three airline crashes in four weeks of disruption throughout all US government sectors under the new administration ☹️

Is there another objective way out of the Middle East issues other than simply repeating history and being young enough to live through all this again?

Didn’t have the US “owning” the Gaza Strip on my bingo card though…

…. imagine now being a muslim in Michigan etc who wouldn’t vote for Harris….

Canada is the single largest foreign supplier of electricity to the US!

… exporting more than 30 terra-watt hours each year!

… valued at more than $30 billion annually!

… enough to power more than 4.5 million homes!

I vote for an electricity export holiday on February 9 during the Super Bowl!

Watching bellicose politicians realize it’s tough to actually govern is hilarious!

US federal program funding freeze ends today after citizens in many red states (Missouri, Oklahoma, Alabama, etc) realized about half their state budget revenues to operate are transfers from the federal government 🤦

As long as there were “ironclad guarantees” to ensure Palestinians returned to their homes in Gaza, then Trump’s proposal was a “brilliant idea,” he (Gordon Sondland) added in an interview. 

Wonder what Ukraine might say about ironclad guarantees for protection from Russian after giving up nukes?

If someone asking a powerful person to show kindness to those without power offends your Christianity, your Christianity would offend Jesus.

Quite an exhausting day!

Kinda feel bad for all those grumpy/crazy uncles or grandpas that we don’t want to hang out with …

… perhaps if you all gave the guy even just a little bit of credit for anything he wouldn’t have to try so hard to impress and we wouldn’t all be here right now 🤷🏻‍♂️

Universal 25% tariffs on Canada & Mexico would hit ~$900B of US imports, ~30% of all goods brought into the country, including pretty devastating impacts on US energy, vehicle, & food supply chains

Prices for gas & groceries like tomatoes/beer/cabbages would jump significantly

Guessing Canada and Greenland are safe from MAGA invasion at least until spring…

… based on the actual DC outside temperature today, which was considered so dangerously cold that the outdoor (projected small crowd size) inauguration was cancelled 🤷🏻‍♂️

Historically unpopular president at the end of his first term - wins popular vote this time by less than 1.5% margin - super tight majorities in House and Senate.

Hardly a “mandate” as described and approval rating from several new polls already below 50%.

How long will the honeymoon last?

Canadian pundits talking about the immediate need to have an election…

Silly…

The Prime Minister has never been stronger:
- they have the full playbook from last time dealing with Trump
- parliament is prorogued so there is no need to report back

Be all over by the time Parliament returns

Most of us have about 4,000 weeks to make our mark. Former President Jimmy Carter had a few more than 5,200 and it looks like he made the most of them. RIP, Sir

Canada definitely needs a change in leadership but perhaps Wayne Gretzky is not actually at the top of the list to choose from!
