Well, here I am, 8:30 am. I usually begin my opening statement for the News at 8:00 am, but lately I have had problems with my laptop sticking and freezing every now and again, like a fly stuck to s--t 🪰 🩹💩 , which can affect how much time I have to do the news. When everything is working well, I'm usually done for lunch; with the sticking and freezing crap, it's more like 2:00 pm, and at times as late as 2:30 or 3:00 pm by the time everything is wrapped up and put away for the day. I ran Crap Cleaner twice, rebooted several times, and even went into the apps to close some of the programs

Lately, the construction stuff that's been screeching and groaning in our ears all summer is done for the day before I am. I call them the FN. STREET MUNCHING MONSTER PATROL .👹👺 💀 👾 ⚙️🔋💥ᝰ🤖ཊཌཬརདཏ /┆\ mean bugers? 🪲

As if we didn't have enough problems with rust eating termites 🐜🐜🐜 during the winter in Canada 🍁

Shut down the racket for the day. Maybe I should get a job with them! At least I'd get paid 💵 In other words, after 3:00 pm, the day is done. I need to get this infernal sticking looked after 🪛🔧🛠️🪚

That's my pet peeve of the day so far. No putziness, stubbing anything, bruising anything, or knocking things down, crap, it's been a great morning, except for my stomach acting up a bit, enough to make me feel like I've been glued to my chair 🥵🧴🪑

Now it's time to move on to the discussion of the day. Thank you for visiting and reading the News. Comments are encouraged!

Question: After the Trump regime, will the government under the UN need to change the system of policies for import and export?-

BINGO! I got the right question and the right answer I was looking for,

🔹AI Overview

The United Nations (UN) itself does not govern, dictate, or change national import-export policies. International trade rules and tariff structures are determined by sovereign governments and coordinated globally through the World Trade Organization (WTO), which operates independently of the UN.

UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD)

However, the aggressive tariff policies and shift away from multilateral agreements seen under the second Trump administration are forcing a massive restructuring of global trade systems.

A breakdown of how international trade systems are changing in response to this era includes:

The UN's Actual Role in Trade

While the UN does not set laws for import-export, its sub-agencies—like the UN Trade and Development body (UNCTAD)—track global trade data and issue guidance. Recent UNCTAD reports from 2026 highlight that the global trading system has reached a critical "crossroads" due to a massive surge in unilateral tariffs and geopolitical fragmentation. The UN acts as an advisory body, sounding alarms over how these trade disputes disrupt supply chains and hurt developing nations.

The WTO and the Breakdown of Global Rules

The real "system" under pressure is the WTO. The United States' intentional rejection of the traditional rules-based international order has severely weakened the WTO's ability to police trade barriers. After the Trump administration bypassed standard trade frameworks to enact heavy tariffs on allies and adversaries alike, international trade experts emphasize that a permanent structural shift is required. Reforming the WTO, particularly restoring its fully operational dispute settlement system, is a top priority for nations looking to bring back trade predictability

Move Toward "Trade Without the U.S."

Because the U.S. has adopted a heavily protectionist "America First" stance, the rest of the world is not waiting around for Washington to change back. Governments are building alternative, resilient trade policy networks that intentionally bypass the U.S.: [de-without-us)

Witkoff and Kushner meet Zelensky in Kyiv for second leg of US diplomacy push

US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner are in Kyiv for talks with Ukrainian officials after concluding intensive meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, as Washington renews its push to end the war in Ukraine.

It marks their first visit to the Ukrainian capital since the war began and comes amid near-constant Russian missile and drone strikes on the Ukrainian capital.

A first round of US-Ukrainian talks wrapped up early evening local time on Sunday, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A second round of talks is expected between US and Ukrainian negotiators, while for the third round, European representatives will also be present...

The delegation was taken for a tour to St. Sophia Cathedral, which has been damaged by a Russian strike.

Russia and Ukraine have enacted a 72-hour temporary truce for the duration of the US envoys’ visits, specifically halting airstrikes on each other’s capitals, Kyiv and Moscow

Trump’s in-house lawyers are bracing for a tidal wave of Democratic investigations

The new White House counsel has plenty of experience delaying efforts to hold Trump accountable.

VIDEO | Included:

Even Republicans seem to think Democrats are poised to capture control of at least one chamber of Congress during the midterm elections. Consequently, Will Scharf, who took over as White House counsel this week, is reportedly leading other White House lawyers in battening down the hatches against an expected onslaught of congressional investigations.

Scharf, like so many of the administration’s top-ranking lawyers, formerly worked as one of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyers. That’s a problem, because there is a line between serving the presidency and serving the man who holds the office. There are times when that line can be fuzzy, but Trump has encouraged his administration to act as if there isn’t one at all.

• Many of the individuals in Trump’s orbit are reportedly looking to lawyer up.:

'We've never experienced anything to this size and effect': Torrential rain batters Cape Breton

Fatality in Richmond County may be related to flooding

The damage from a torrential downpour that dumped more than 200 millimetres of rain on parts of Cape Breton is unlike anything local officials have seen before. "We've never experienced anything to this size and effect," said Terry Doyle, CAO for Port Hawkesbury, N.S. "And certainly, that's what I'm being told by others as well."

Doyle spoke Sunday from an emergency response co-ordination centre where representatives from Victoria, Inverness and Richmond counties and the province are gathered. A state of emergency was declared Saturday for those three counties. Doyle said the bulk of the damage is in Richmond County, around Bras d'Or Lake, where floodwaters have washed out numerous roads, bridges and driveways...

First responders carried out a search Saturday and found the body around 2:30 p.m. AT.

RCMP do not consider the death suspicious, though they did not explicitly state the circumstances leading to her death

Elbows up or down? Why Alberta is diplomacy-first in the trade war

Alberta's Washington envoy says province's position on alcohol gives it an edge

Alberta’s top U.S. diplomat says playing nice is paying off for his province in the Canada-U.S. trade war. Nathan Cooper, Alberta’s senior representative to the United States, told CBC’s West of Centre that compared to provinces that have taken a more aggressive approach, Alberta has come out ahead.

“I think the premier’s diplomacy-first approach has really not only been helpful for me, but certainly helpful for the province,” Cooper said. “If we look at the impact of U.S. tariffs on the Alberta economy, we have a disproportionately low impact.”

Witkoff and Kushner arrive in Moscow with plan to end war ahead of visit to Kyiv

US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow on Saturday, where they are expected to explore prospects for ending the war, now in its fifth year.

Kirill Dmitriev, special representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was at Vnukovo airport to meet them, and Putin will meet the US delegation later Saturday, according to Russian state media.

After visiting the Russian capital, Witkoff and Kushner are due to travel to the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, for the first time.

As they arrived, the Kremlin announced that Putin had instructed that no strikes be carried out on Kyiv for the next three days, starting at midnight on Saturday night...

“Our goal is to have a visit and negotiations with the American side that are as constructive and substantive as possible. We need to look for realistic options on how to bring this war to an end,” Zelensky said on Friday. ...

Russia secretly assists Iran with supersonic cruise missiles

Where is he getting the missiles from? I bet it's from the same sources that supply Putin with the armament to destroy Ukraine. He should be running out by now, but Putin seems to be somehow able to replace his ammunition faster than he can replace his soldiers. I believe that's why they are all going for developing more drones to do the dirty work of killing people from a distance rather than up close and suffer casualties. It's not hard to find a few nations that would like to see Trumpo, the Typo, taken down. If anything, they will steer a wide path around the whole mess and hope they can keep what nations are left in a democratic system. If anyone sheds any tears, they will be crocodile tears to be sure.

Three Iranian tankers struck in retaliation for missile attacks, US military says

The United States military said Saturday its forces struck three Iranian crude oil carriers after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched ballistic missiles toward two US Navy warships.

The fresh exchanges threaten to heighten a shipping war in and beyond the Persian Gulf, as Iran seeks to prevent shipping transiting the Strait of Hormuz without its consent and the US steps up targeting of Iranian shipping. The two sides traded strikes earlier this week for the first time in over a month and the new attacks risk another retaliatory cycle.

Trump’s war on mail ballots is eroding democracy before our eyes

If he succeeds, he will have usurped a power the Constitution clearly gives to the states.

Just weeks before the election, the Trump administration is preparing an end run around the rules for how tens of millions of Americans cast their ballots.

t is no secret that President Donald Trump wants to tightly restrict voting by mail. But he has failed to persuade the public, which continues to support it by wide margins; state officials, who have declined to abandon a popular voting method; and Congress, which refused to pass the legislation he backed.

So he’s turning instead to a secretive and rushed effort to use the U.S. Postal Service to disrupt mail voting on the eve of the midterms...

The stakes are more than the future of mail voting. Our very democracy is at risk.

How public institutions — like schools and the STM — are handling Quebec's new secularism law

Prayer rooms closed, new employee guidelines at places like schools and public transit agencies

From university halls to garages in Montreal's Metro network, public institutions across Quebec are quietly locking prayer rooms and rewriting employee guidelines as the province’s expanded secularism law takes full effect. Law 9 significantly broadens the reach of Bill 21 and extends restrictions.

The religious symbols ban passed into law in 2019 now applies to daycare staff and prayer spaces are now forbidden in places like university campuses, or the facilities of a transit agency like Montreal's Société de transport de Montréal.

Missouri Supreme Court blocks GOP-drawn map in boost for Democrats

The Missouri Supreme Court has stopped a new congressional map from being used in this fall’s midterms that could have flipped a Democratic-held seat in the Kansas City area to Republicans.

Republicans’ hopes of keeping control of the U.S. House were bolstered last year by GOP lawmakers in the midwestern state targeting the safe blue seat of prominent Black Rep. Emanuel Cleaver. The focus was part of a push in several Republican states to shift Democratic-held seats and make them more winnable for the GOP. Republicans are at risk of losing a narrow House majority in the upcoming midterms, now just two months away, which could fundamentally shift the balance of power for the final two years of Donald Trump’s presidency...

Good morning to everyone, and I pray that you are safe, happy, and blessed on this Thursday, August 3 of 2026. At least the nasty clouds are gone, and the sun is out. I was out sitting in my Green Space with my coffee as the sun was rising this morning.

What a beautiful morning 🌄, putting aside my sore back 𖠣⚡ and trying to nurse some bruises out of my leg🦵 . I honestly don't know where they all come from. I look down at my legs and arms at the end of the day, and there they are, just from doing ordinary housework, and they look like they've been PECKED ON ME BY A FLOCK OF MAD WOODPECKERS!🪵🦅🦅🦅🦅 They should go for the head 😵‍💫. That's where the wood is 🪵😁 . Oh me! Oh my ! ♪♫♭｡♪˚♬ WASN'T THAT A PARTY? In my mind 🧠 , you can still party your arse off in imagination all you want. Maybe even a little wiggle here and a little wiggle there with the hips, Heck! I can still spin dance. The little pleasures of aging 🤶 , eh?

Ever hear of the spirit wanting to, but the body not? Well, that's the way it gets to be; the body wears out way faster than the mind does. The mind is like a computer: it saves information in its memory banks, data center, and the cloud, located within the grey matter of our human cranium, which we call consciousness. How deep and how far or how many layers there are to consciousness is not yet known to science

I borrowed the statement below from Roger Penrose, a physicist and quantum-consciousness researcher.

Penrose, who won the 2020 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on black holes, developed the controversial Orchestrated Objective Reduction (Orch-OR) theory with anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff. It proposes that consciousness involves quantum processes associated with microscopic structures called microtubules inside neurons, rather than being explained entirely by ordinary neural computation.

_____________________________________

Question: quantum consciousness

🔹AI Overview

Quantum consciousness proposes that quantum-mechanical phenomena like superposition and entanglement inside the brain explain subjective experience better than classical neuroscience.

Key Concepts and Theories

• Orch-OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction): Developed by physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, this theory suggests consciousness arises from quantum computations inside cellular structures called microtubules.
• The Warmth Problem: Mainstream neuroscientists argue the brain is too warm, wet, and noisy to sustain fragile quantum states, causing rapid decoherence.
• Emerging Support: Recent biological studies have identified quantum coherence in systems like photosynthesis and tubulin proteins at physiological temperatures, though mainstream consensus still views the hypothesis as speculative.

Question: Is Ford still pursuing two-tiered healthcare?

🔹AI Overview

Yes, the Ontario government under Doug Ford continues to shift more surgeries and diagnostic services to private, for-profit clinics.

*Current Actions*

• Private Clinic Expansion: The province keeps adding private facilities to perform publicly funded procedures like hip, knee, and cataract surgeries.
• Legislation: This expansion relies on Bill 60, known as the Your Health Act, which the government passed in 2023 to let private clinics handle more routine operations.
• Ongoing Funding: The government continues to allocate funding to these private centers to help reduce public surgical wait times.

The Government Stance

• OHIP Coverage: Doug Ford and his health ministers state that Ontario does not have a two-tier system.
• No Out-of-Pocket Costs: The government insists that patients pay with their OHIP cards and do not use personal credit cards for insured medical procedures

Criticisms and Concerns

• Two-Tier Accusations: Groups like the Ontario Health Coalition argue that relying on private clinics creates a * two-tier system.
• Private-Pay Risks: Critics state that some private facilities market extra services or faster, uninsured options to people who can pay.
• Public Strain: Opponents and healthcare unions argue that funneling tax dollars into for-profit companies drains staff and money from the public hospital system.

PEOPLE ASK?

Question: Does Canada have a two-tiered health care system?

🔹AI Overview

Canada's healthcare system is officially a public, single-payer model for essential care, but it includes private elements for non-core services and faces new pressures toward a two-tier structure.

The Public Base

• Medicare: The Commonwealth Fund profile explains that Canada funds essential hospital and doctor services through public taxes.
• No Extra Billing: The federal Canada Health Act requires provinces to provide medically necessary care without user fees.
• Equal Access: Every citizen gets coverage on uniform terms, regardless of wealth

*Recent Changes and Debate*

• Dual Practice: Alberta introduced laws allowing doctors to work in both the public system and private-pay clinics.
• The Fast Lane Debate: Critics argue that paid private options let wealthy patients jump queues, harming public wait times.
• National Rules: The Canadian Medical Association points out that most other provinces strictly restrict doctors from billing both public and private systems at the same time.

High prices have turned Americans against the economy, and they’re starting to unleash real consequences for Washington and the financial markets.

Historic inflation led voters to oust Democrats from the White House in the 2024 election. Persistent high prices and a return of inflation have given President Donald Trump low approval ratings, and it’s threatening to turn Congress Democratic in November’s midterm elections.

Trump’s latest Kennedy Center tantrum is his pettiest yet

The removal of the statue titled “Blue” from the center’s grounds is relatively small potatoes — but Trump’s ongoing determination to be the final say in culture is disturbing.

VIDEO | Included:

n an ideal world, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts would be making headlines for the dramas on its stages, not the drama surrounding its existence as the Kennedy Center. Since President Donald Trump’s hostile takeover last year, the storied institution has become a staging ground for his delusions of cultural relevance. Wednesday’s removal of a massive metal artwork called “Blue” is the latest in a string of unnecessary transformations that have made respect for the arts secondary to the president’s whims.

The New York Times noted that the installation “was targeted for elimination after President Trump’s takeover of the center,” but it’s unclear precisely what prompted its removal. It might have been doomed by its placement on the Reach, the 2019 outdoor expansion of the Kennedy Center that Trump reportedly dislikes...
