Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good morning, folks! I do pray that you are all well and safe, and may the Great Spirit bless you and help you make the right choices on this day 🙏. Today, my prayers also go to all the good folks I met and knew in America, especially in Tennessee. Back then, to me, it didn't matter what flags they flew or religions they belonged to; I went to their church with them. It didn't matter to me which denomination; I went with my friends. May the Great Spirit especially bless the good-hearted, no matter what religion they are. The Middle East should take a lesson from me, eh? The Canadian Wayward Hippie, they wouldn't have all those wars and disputes and throat-cutting as they do.

MY HOUSE IS YOUR HOUSE.

The G-d of the universe, I have personally come to understand, is the very fabric of time and space, with an evolving consciousness, like the evolving stars, galaxies, nebulae, planets, moons, asteroids, meteors, and the many chemicals and gases, capable of forming life or the environment to support life, etc. Of itself, in this section or dimension in time and space, the temporal world and all the ingredients and chemical compounds required to form life.

How did all the right elements required to form life get here? And how much of that ingredient for life is there in a place as large as the universe, where we can't even detect the outside edge? It's actually hard to tell which way the outer edge points. From what we were told, we are closer to the Big Bang than we are to the outside edge of the universe; that's my guess.

🔹AI Overview

Yes, we are significantly "closer" to the Big Bang in terms of time and location than we are to the edge of the universe, primarily because the Big Bang happened everywhere at once.

Universe Today

Question: Are we closer to the Big Bang than the outside edge of the universe?

Here is a breakdown of why this is the case:

• The Big Bang is "Here": The Big Bang was not an explosion in space; it was an explosion of space itself that occurred everywhere simultaneously 13.8 billion years ago. The matter that makes up Earth was present at the Big Bang. In that sense, we are sitting exactly on top of where the Big Bang happened.
• The "Edge" is Farther: When we talk about the "edge" of the universe, we are referring to the observable universe—the limit from which light has had enough time (13.8 billion years) to travel to us. Due to the expansion of space, this edge is actually about 46 billion light-years away in every direction.
• No "Outside" Edge: The universe is not believed to have a physical edge or boundary. The "edge" we see is a temporal boundary (the cosmic microwave background) rather than a physical wall.

WELL, HAPPY TRAILS, EVERYONE. It's one Hell of a long way to Tipperary.

Evacuation flights ramp up as Iran war spreads beyond the Middle East

Thousands are leaving the region as the US vows to strike deeper into Iran and Tehran lashes out at US allies.

Here's The Latest:

VIDEO | Included:

• On the ground: There has been no letup in strikes with the war in its sixth day. Israel says it hit Iranian missile sites while Iran carried out fresh retaliatory strikes across the region, with several injured in Abu Dhabi. A CNN team has entered Iran, the first US network to cross into the country since the war began.

• Widening conflict: There are further signs of the war spilling beyond the Middle East. Iran denied its drones struck an airport in Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, Tehran called the US torpedoing of a warship near Sri Lanka an "atrocity."

• Evacuations ramp up: Stranded passengers are starting to leave the Middle East as airlines schedule new services and governments rally charter flights. But many remain stuck with limited travel options.

• Kurds targeted: Iran said it targeted "separatist terrorist groups (that) intended to enter the country's western borders." The statement follows reports that the CIA was working to arm Kurdish forces, with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran.

US gas prices are now at their highest level in 11 months

The Iran war is spreading like a wildfire, and I don't see any firefighters anywhere in sight! Just a bunch of clucking chickens sitting on their useless little chicken wings, U.N. and Congress will never fly, leaving their citizens at the mercy of The Republinazis of Bizaromerica. CAN YOU TRUST YOUR LIFE IN THE HANDS OF A DEMENTED MANIAC? The Coo-coo in charge!

America is the oil king of the world. So why is the Iran war sending gas prices higher?

The United States is producing more oil than any country in the history of the planet. Yet the war with Iran has sent gas prices up 20 cents a gallon, or 7% in just a few days.

Why?

No matter how much crude the United States produces domestically, oil is traded in a global market – one that President Donald Trump just upended. Without all of the United States’ substantial crude production, Americans could already be paying $4 or even $5 a gallon for gasoline...

Question: _*Canada having its own oil, what are we planning to do if the prices of fuel keep skyrocketing

🔹AI Overview

Despite being a major oil producer, Canada's fuel prices are largely determined by global market forces, making them susceptible to international conflicts, currency fluctuation, and supply constraints. As of early 2026, with fuel prices threatening to climb due to volatility in the Middle East, the strategic approach focuses on boosting domestic production, accelerating the energy transition, and leveraging market mechanisms.

Here is what is planned to manage skyrocketing fuel prices

1. Increasing Domestic Production and Infrastructure

Growing Output: Canadian oil supply is projected to grow by roughly 4% in 2026 to about 5.5 million barrels per day, with producers actively seeking ways to increase output to meet demand.

Upgrading Infrastructure: To address constraints in transporting oil to market, there is a focus on increasing pipeline capacity to prevent bottlenecks that can exacerbate price differences.

*Energy Security:* The federal government is addressing supply concerns, with reports of other nations calling to leverage Canadian energy, signaling a push to boost Canadian production to enhance self-sufficiency.

Financial Post:

2. Accelerating the Transition to Renewables

• Electrification: High and volatile oil prices are accelerating the shift toward electric transportation, which is expected to reduce long-term global oil demand and decrease reliance on fossil fuels.

Alternative Investments: The government is focusing on investing in clean alternatives, such as heat pumps, public transit, and electric vehicles to cut long-term costs and pollution.

-CBC-

3. Policy and Regulatory Measures

• Removing Carbon Pricing: Effective April 1, 2025, the federal government moved to remove the consumer carbon charge to help lower gas prices and reduce inflationary pressures.

Market-Based Pricing: The federal government maintains that, outside of emergencies, it does not regulate retail gasoline prices, relying on competition to set prices.

*Strengthening Competition:* The government is acting to strengthen the Competition Act to ensure fair competition among fuel retailers.

4. Consumer Support and Relief

• Provincial Tax Relief: While federal, some provincial governments have previously introduced temporary gas tax cuts during price spikes, and may consider such measures again to provide relief.
• Direct Rebates: The federal "Climate Action Incentive" program is designed to provide rebates to households to offset costs, with 80% of households in applicable provinces receiving more in rebates than they pay in carbon costs.

While these measures are in place, the immediate trend in early 2026 indicates that rising global demand and conflict-driven uncertainty could lead to further price volatility, with experts encouraging consumers to use, where possible, alternative transportation and monitor local fuel cycles...

How America’s war with Iran has shattered the U.A.E.’s sense of security

When debris from an intercepted Iranian missile struck the Fairmont The Palm, a five-star hotel on Dubai’s opulent manmade archipelago on Feb. 28, it pierced not just the country’s advanced missile defence system but also its carefully crafted image of security. For decades, the United Arab Emirates has positioned itself as an economic and cultural hub, connecting European and Asian markets.

“The U.A.E. in particular, but more broadly, the rest of the Gulf positioned itself as a haven, surrounded by a pool of chaos for the last 40 years … and that's all been shattered now,” said Stephen, a political analyst who now resides in Ireland...

Hi everyone, it's another beautiful, sunny morning again at the Tree House News. I am moving in slow motion this morning, but everything is going fine after what seemed like an endless task, getting the morning chores done. I finally sat down a little later than usual, with my fresh-brewed coffee in hand. Looking out the sliding glass doors, in the warming rays of the early sunlight, I felt peaceful, like a babe in a mother's arms, "new life!"

Some OpenAI staff are fuming about its Pentagon deal

AI CEO Sam Altman speaks during Snowflake Summit 2025 at Moscone Center on June 2, 2025, in San Francisco, California

Messages written in chalk covered the sidewalk outside OpenAI's San Francisco offices Monday morning: "Where are your redlines?" "You must speak up." "What are the safeguards?" The messages, according to social media and news reports, were written by activists. But some of those feelings are shared by many within the building, after OpenAI struck a deal with the Pentagon on Friday to use its AI models in classified systems.

Anthropic had already rejected an update to its contract with the Pentagon because it felt the language didn't adhere to the company's redlines around the use of AI in mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. The Pentagon blacklisted the company as a result, designating it a supply chain risk.

The contracts are steeped in legal and technical complexity. But in public forums and in private conversations, OpenAI employees are venting about how OpenAI leadership handled the Pentagon negotiations. Many employees "really respect" Anthropic for standing up to the Pentagon and are frustrated with OpenAI's handling of their own contract, one current employee told CNN on the condition of anonymity to speak freely...

CIA working to arm Kurdish forces to spark uprising in Iran, sources say

The CIA is working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN. The Trump administration has been in active discussions with Iranian opposition groups and Kurdish leaders in Iraq about providing them with military support, the sources said.

Iranian Kurdish armed groups have thousands of forces operating along the Iraq-Iran border, primarily in Iraq’s Kurdistan region. Several of the groups have released public statements since the beginning of the war hinting at imminent action and urging Iranian military forces to defect. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been striking Kurdish groups and said on Tuesday that it targeted Kurdish forces with dozens of drones. The CIA support for Iranian Kurdish groups began several months before the war, one of the sources and a senior Kurdistan Regional Government official said...

'It's not easy, let's be clear': Carney speaks frankly about dealing with Trump at an event in Australia

Speaking at a think tank question-and-answer session in Sydney on his Indo-Pacific tour, Carney said Trump is also somewhat different in private than he is in public and there's room for a free flow of ideas when you sit down with him face-to-face.

As Iran war raises terror risk, U.S. enforcement agencies are spread thin, experts say

U.S. faces heightened threat level after a year of big changes to agencies that oversee security

In the hours after the U.S. began its military operation in Iran, a cascade of national security departments and agencies, including the FBI and Homeland Security, began notifying the public that they would be stepping up their activities around the country because of a heightened risk of international and domestic terrorism.

But after a year of federal budget cuts, resignations, firings, layoffs and a reshuffling of the Trump administration's priorities, some national security experts are worried about the ability of those agencies to respond. "The administration has reduced U.S. capabilities in this area, so the United States might be more vulnerable than it was a year ago," said Daniel Byman, director of the Warfare of Irregular Threats and Terrorism program at the non-partisan Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. ...

Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good morning, everyone! Well, at least I pray that today is a better day than yesterday, and if each day is better than the day before today, then may the Great Spirit bless your soul. 😉🙏👼

I was composing that in my mind as I was turning on my system to begin my Newsroom report, and there it is. It's another one of those pretty shimmering sunrises over the treetops, postcard mornings again. I even heard an early spring bird singing in the trees across the way. It feels more like life returning to the land.

TODAY'S TOPIC:

RAINBOW OF LIFE:

Early this morning, I woke up in the dark, no flashlight; it had fallen off the coffee table and rolled under it. I had no idea what time it was, but I could feel this kind of shadow over me, making the darkness feel darker. I didn't like the feel of the shadow, so I turned on the first light I could get to, then the shadow evaporated. I felt this, not saw it. For any empath that I'm aware of, it's not only about physically seeing; Empaths also feel beyond what the eyes can see. I don't let the shadows take over anymore. Listed below is how I deal with the depression, or the shadowy side of me.

I need to keep my mind occupied and organised by sane thinking: concepts, theories, imagination, the philosophical, as well as the scientific, and the spiritual. The wonderful world of humanity's complexities is expressed in personalities, behavioral dysfunctionality, functionality, achievements, failures, and its infinite potentialities. It's like a rainbow, except the dark part of the rainbow you don't see from the light. As I have mentioned before, the darkness is only the scum on the surface of the water, cutting off the sunlight; that is the nature of scum. There are a lot of blood suckers in that scum bucket, too, but then there's a lot more water than scum. Now it's time for the water to move the scum aside and let sunlight shine through.

So now we have the DUNCE CADETS, the personal Gestapo to the New Kink Trumpo The Typo, and our dear leaders, The DO NOTHING 💋Kink TRUMPO THE TYPO'S (‿ˠ‿) and his (‿ˠ‿)💋 CONGRESS

and the Cabinet is where the DUNCE BRIGADE worm brains 🐛🧠 reside.

That early in the morning, my mind is like the absentminded professor who can't remember where she last put her glasses, and now she can't see her nightmare 🐴🦇🌙

See, that's how I learned to get away from bullies: Instinctively, I was a survivalist. I learned to climb a chain-link fence faster than they could, then blend into the woods, and become the observer, no longer the hunted. That's the survivalist, like digging a hole under a stump large enough to accommodate me and my pack sack, lining it with pine needles and a sleeping bag. It made for a nice, cozy shelter.

The encampment was near the edge of a thirty-foot rock cliff, a nice place for a campfire in a large circle of rocks. So, between fishing and raiding the fridge at home every couple of days or so, I could stay out there indefinitely. Well, that is enough about this topic, thank you for reading the T.H.News

All about the Strait of Hormuz and what's at stake if the key global oil supply route is disrupted by war

Roughly one-fifth of the world's oil moves through the passageway

Oil prices jumped Monday as the widening war in Iran disrupted tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, highlighting how important the passageway is to the world's oil supply.

The Strait of Hormuz is the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf through which about a fifth of the world's oil passes. Tankers travelling through the strait, which is bordered in the north by Iran, carry oil and gas from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Iran. Most of that oil goes to Asia.

Any disruption to traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is highly disruptive to the oil trade. "The scale of what is at stake cannot be overstated," said Hakan Kaya, senior portfolio manager at investment management firm Neuberger Berman...

Ontario Health Care

Now I Get Serious:

But the doctors and nurses are fighting a losing battle against a GOVERNMENT THAT REFUSES TO PAY THEM A DECENT SALARY FOR DECENT WORKING HOURS. YES, YOU, MR. FORD, ARE THE WORST MONEY GRUBBER OF ALL, WITHHOLDING AND/OR STEALING THE HEALTH CARE MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE!

Which brings the topic of Health Care, what a bag of debauchery that is.

WHERE DID THE $3.1 billion Ontario received from the federal government, exclusively to improve its health care system, go to?

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Ontario Premier Doug Ford signed an agreement in 2024 that details how the province must spend $3.1 billion in federal funding earmarked for health care.

Add 700 spots in medical education programs — including 70 in Northern Ontario — and improve its tracking and reporting of health data by upgrading digital infrastructure across the system.

The deal stems from a national health funding summit in February 2023, when Trudeau's government offered to boost the Canada Health Transfer with $46 billion in additional spending, including $25 billion allocated for tailored agreements with the provinces and territories.

F'n Cockroach thief FORD!

_*WHAT THE F*** HAPPENED TO THAT MONEY? NOTHING HAS CHANGED OR IMPROVED IN THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM SINCE THEN. That's all I need to know, as everyone else reading this should be asking too. I can't do it alone; all I can do is spread the information across social networks.
