Hi everyone, I will keep it short this morning. We will be out of town for a while today, and I will likely not have time to write a news report. Thank you for dropping by to read the Tree House News 🏡. Comments are also welcome 😉

I apologize to those who leave messages and don't get a response. I am grateful that you got in touch with me. It is difficult for me to find enough time to check all the message boxes every day. I welcome you from my Tree House News group here on this platform where you are reading this note, and I thank this platform for supporting my news group 🤫☺️ 📰 I do not have much news this morning to report for the simple reason I don't have the time to do all the research, which I should have done last night, and I forgot 🤨😔

I am including something I posted yesterday. I was quite surprised by how little attention it got.

IT IS A WAKE-UP CALL, A GENERAL ALARM TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE PERSON WHO HAS THE POWER TO LAUNCH A FIRST STRIKE NUCLEAR ATTACK. HE JUST STARTED A WAR WITH IRAN. THINK ABOUT IT.

Query: A person who is addicted to explosions desires to see bigger and more destructive explosions

🔹AI Overview

A person who is addicted to explosions and desires to see increasingly larger and more destructive results likely exhibits symptoms of a rare impulse-control disorder known as pyromania. While traditionally associated with fire, pyromania includes an obsession with explosives and a compulsion to witness the destruction, pleasure, or relief they bring.

Hi folks, I will be delivering only a short report for today. I had some difficulties with nausea from my GERD acting up, so I just lay back in the recliner for a couple of hours' rest. I feel better than I did, although I still feel like Sylvester the cat in the cartoons after being dragged backward tail-first through a knothole in a board fence. Leaves you kind of disheveled, doesn't it? ((🫨))

Well, anyway, I'm still here, in one piece, and the opportunity to share my opinions, thoughts, and comments on the daily happenings in this crazy world at the moment. The topics are all well-researched using Google Search, SNOPES, and other fact-checkers. If I am misled or make an error in any of my topics, I will admit my error and apologize promptly.

I analyze and report on the top breaking news stories and provide a recap of the day's headlines. Thank you for reading The Tree House News.

Now for the breaking News.

Trump announces U.S. talks with Iran, 5-day pause on strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure

Iran’s foreign ministry has reportedly denied that talks are underway and suggested Trump’s post was an effort to reduce energy prices.

VIDEO | Included:

As the Iran war enters its fourth week, President Donald Trump on Monday announced that the United States has engaged in diplomatic talks with Iran and is taking a five-day pause on strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure. “I am pleased to report that the United States of America, and the country of Iran, have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East,” Trump wrote in an all-caps message posted to Truth Social.

He continued: “Based on the tenor and tone of these in depth, detailed, and constructive conversations, which will continue throughout the week, I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five day period, subject to the success of the ongoing meeting and discussions.” In a subsequent Truth Social post on Monday, Trump said the U.S. was getting “very close to meeting our objectives” and suggested American involvement in the Iran war could be “winding down.”

• Follow MS NOW’s live blog for the latest updates on the Iran war:

Over the weekend, Trump threatened to “obliterate their various power plants” in Iran if the country did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Legal experts told MS NOW that such attacks could constitute war crimes.

ICE officers deployed to some airports as TSA callouts worsen

Where Things Stand:

• ICE deploys to airports: Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are heading to 13 airports today to help with crowd management as the Transportation Security Administration faces growing callouts from officers during the ongoing Department of Homeland Security shutdown.

• Growing travel woes: Travelers have been dealing with worsening airport wait times as TSA workers have gone without pay since funding for DHS lapsed in mid-February. Track wait times at major airports here.

• No end to shutdown in sight: There are few signs lawmakers will reach an agreement to fund DHS, which includes TSA, ahead of a scheduled holiday break. President Donald Trump injected a new demand Sunday, saying he doesn’t want to make a deal unless Democrats support an elections overhaul bill.

Good morning, everyone! It's an improved, more spring-like morning out there in my Green Space. It was pleasant to linger out there with my coffee this morning, though it was still a little cool, so I wore a sweater. The weather appears to be back to normal here on the Niagara Peninsula, still mostly cloudy but with lighter clouds than the last couple of days. I pray it gets sunny, especially for Tuesday, when we are planning to go out of town.

_*Well, that's about it from me here in the Newsroom, other than I pray you all be well physically, mentally, and spiritually and blessed. Thank you for reading the Tree House News.

TODAY'S TOPIC:

ONTARIO HEALTH CARE

FORWARDED FROM YESTERDAY'S ARTICLE

"LIES!" like how the Ontario Health Care System sucks even after billions of federal dollars being pumped into it. What happened to the promise of hiring American doctors and nurses to expand the health care workforce? Where are the American doctors and nurses since the last infusion of federal funding? The Ontario Health Care system got worse, not better, under the usual way of governing

Ford, Trudeau sign $3.1B health-care funding deal that will see Ontario hire more health workers

Agreement comes year after feds promised to boost health transfers to provinces

Searching further into the ONTARIO HEALTH CARE CAPER,

I came up with this publication, The Bullet. It's a newsletter by the Socialist Project. I do not endorse socialism, but the information in their publication appears to track with other non-political sources to give you, the Tree House News reader, an idea of where Ontario Health Care is going. I SUSPECT IT'S BEING USED TO PAY FOR FORD'S PRIVATISATION DEALS. If Ford were doing it to benefit We, the People, he would not need to defend the destruction of our healthcare system. Rather than rejecting this socialist newsletter, I am posting it for your information and consideration.

The Ontario Healthcare Crisis

The Budget plan was to decrease total provincial hospital funding for 2024/25 by $250-million, almost one percent. However, the Fall Economic Statement (FES) noted a one billion healthcare funding increase. While the FES did not reveal how this would be spent, the Financial Accountability Office indicated that health spending was 6.7% over budget ($2.6-billion) in the first half of the fiscal year and that this included $1.3-billion for hospitals and home care.

This mimics what occurred in 2023/24 where hospital funding was budgeted to increase 0.5% but, largely through an increase announced at the very end of the fiscal year (in the 2024/25 Budget in fact) the total planned increase was much higher (11%).

This is not the way to fund hospitals. It does not allow hospitals to plan appropriate staffing levels and encourages reliance on overtime and much more expensive for-profit staffing agencies. Hospitals need better funding, but they also need clear guidance on hospital funding when the fiscal year begins at the very latest.

By 2023/24 many hospitals were reporting significant deficits – deficits which they had to get special permission from government to run.

Now, it is not clear that the government will 100% fund the need created by the failure of their Bill 124 real wage cuts. The government has chosen to parcel this money out very slowly, if at all. As a result, by the middle of this fiscal year (2024-25) hospitals faced huge working capital problems, large deficits, negative operating margins, high long-term debt, and extremely high bed occupancy. This is no way to run a vital service that saves people's lives.

The Situation Under the Current Government and Its Future Plans

The PC government promised to end hallway healthcare. This promise is now largely forgotten, given the many hospital capacity failures that have occurred during this government's reign. However, the government does make some promises to increase capacity. These promises do mark a change in policy. After decades of stagnating capacity, the promise now is to increase it. The problem is that what has been done, and what has been promised for the future, are totally inadequate to meet the need for care.

The government's promise to increase LTC capacity remains officially in place – but the government's execution of this promise has been inept, inadequate, and slow.

Ford defends health-care record as hospitals say financial 'crisis' is coming

Ontario Hospital Association calls for financial certainty to plan long-term

Premier Doug Ford is defending his government's health-care record ahead of his eighth budget, even as the province's hospitals say they face a billion-dollar structural funding deficit.

Ontario’s premier has repeatedly pushed back in recent weeks against criticism that his government is not providing the province’s hospital system with enough funding to address problems like hallway health care.

That comes as the association that represents Ontario’s hospitals is warning that funding uncertainty is causing critical financial strain. Ford, who promised to end hallway health care in hospitals when he was elected in 2018, says the province’s population has grown since then, compounding the problem. He has stressed that his government has rolled out tens of billions in new spending on health care in that time...

• Ontario budget expected to be tabled in coming weeks:
• 'Rapidly developing into a crisis':
• Hospitals face 'deepening structural deficit,' OHA says:
• Funding to recruit and retain medical professionals needed, Ontario's doctors say:
• 'A downward spiral':

My opinion, shout out ONLY •<- big period, that's it.

WAKE UP, PEOPLE! THE FEDERAL MONEY FOR ONTARIO HEALTH CARE IS BEING SIPHONED OFF TO PRIVATISATION.

MY WAKE-UP CALL!

HOW CAN WE HAVE A STRONG CANADIAN ECONOMY IF 90% OF CANADA WAS IN BED SICK OR LAYING HORIZONTALLY IN A COFFIN PASSED AWAY FROM SOME TERRIBLE VIRAL OUTBREAK, WITH NO TECHNICANS, MEDICAL SCIENCE RESEARCHERS, AND DOCTORS TO WORK ON A SIMPLE VACCINE OR HAVE A HOSPITAL BED AVAILABLE TO PUT THE ILL IN? BECAUSE OF THE SHORTAGE OF BEDS IN HOSPITALS, THEY DIE OUT THERE EVERYWHERE, IN ALLEYWAYS, ON THE STREET, IN SHOPPING CENTERS, PARKING LOTS, THEIR APARTMENTS, CARS, TENTS, WHATEVER. NO ONE TO GIVE OUT HEALTHCARE, OR TO CLEAN UP THE MESS AFTERWARD. AND WHO WILL RUN YOUR FACTORIES?

THINK ABOUT IT!

Iran vows to ‘irreversibly’ destroy infrastructure after Trump ultimatum on Strait of Hormuz

Dozens have also been injured in Iranian strikes on cities in southern Israel.

Here's The Latest:

• Iran’s threat: Iran says it will retaliate across the Middle East and “irreversibly” destroy the region’s critical infrastructure and energy sites, if US President Donald Trump carries out a threat to “obliterate” Iran’s power plants unless the Strait of Hormuz is “fully open” within 48 hours.

• Strikes on Israel: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has condemned Iran after a missile attack on the southern Israeli city of Arad, which injured at least 84 people. Several people were also wounded in a separate Iranian ballistic missile attack on the city of Dimona.

Havana

—

Donald Trump wants us to believe that a deal with Cuba is close at hand. After this past week, I am not so sure.

“They have no energy. They have no money. They’re in deep trouble,” Trump has said, explaining why he believes the Cuban government is desperate to reach an agreement to save the country.

Trump is correct that Havana is under the most severe pressure at any time since the 1962 missile crisis, when a US invasion of the island seemed all but guaranteed.,,

TODAY'S DISCUSSION

GRIPE OR GRATITUDE

OH, STOP YOUR GRIPIN' ALREADY!

🌸~ MY GRIPE, PRAYER, AND GRATITUDE ~🌺

Before I begin my usual morning delivery, I just wish to reminisce a bit about my Dad and how much Mark Carney reminds me of him.

Listening to Mark Carney's speeches, how he explains what we only see from "The Maybe" position! Surprisingly, turns out to be in reality.

His thinking and policies are a breath of fresh air, instead of all the air sandwiches 🥪 we have been given in the past few years that we never hear about again, or that turn out to be the reverse.

_________________________

This man, Mark Carney, is probably the most prepared, capable, and effective prime minister we have had to lead our nation and represent Canada on the world stage since Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Back then, I didn't follow politics closely, but I will always have Pierre Elliott Trudeau and, in America, John F. Kennedy in my heart,

Now, as of today, March 21, 2026, we, the people of Canada, have this man Mark Carney, dedicated to his country and its people, like we were a family, or so it feels like to me when I listen to him speak. When I watch him stand behind the lectern, he reminds me very much of my own father. A businessman, my Dad managed Pine Land Timber Co., the biggest lumber company in Canada, back in the late 50's and early 60's.

Standing behind a lectern, Carney's profile closely matches my Dad's profile. It's like seeing my Dad alive and in action again. They could be brothers if you stood them side by side. My Dad, like Mark Carney, was friendly but poker-faced, standing with a confident posture and delivering eloquent, to-the-point speeches that any layman could understand. And if Dad didn't have the answer, he would always tell his clients, "I don't have the answer for that right now, but I'll have it for you by the morning." I miss my Dad, and I pray for Mark Carney's success. It's the success of our nation doing its part in the post-Trump world.

-**🙏 ~ PRAYER ~ 🙏**-

_*Let us all take a moment to send prayers and meditation to the Higher Power of Our Understanding to protect our Prime Minister of Canada from harm, and may he be guided to be successful in his endeavors. AMEN!*_

Inside Trump’s most difficult war decision yet: whether to put boots on the ground in Iran

In near-daily briefings with top military officials at the White House, President Donald Trump has reviewed options that include sending American troops into Iran.

The decision whether to go ahead is perhaps his most difficult of the war since US strikes began February 28. For many Trump allies in Washington, the deployment of thousands of US troops to the Middle East would mean the swift end of their public support for the war— and likely threaten the administration’s ability to deliver the hundreds of billions of dollars in supplemental funding the White House will soon seek.

But for Trump, fully realizing his objectives and mitigating the war’s fallout could require sending in American troops, a legacy-defining endeavor the president — while not ruling it out — tried to downplay this week...

Alex Jones’ Infowars is shutting down, but his disinformation legacy lives on

Only after Trump leaves the stage, and the MAGA movement fades with him, will Infowars truly be gone.

When Alex Jones announced the death of his Infowars business earlier this month, you had to strain to hear him because he kept slurring his words. “We’re getting shut down,” Jones told fellow pro-Trump influencer Tim Pool on March 12. “We’ve beaten so many attacks. But now we’re shutting down in the middle of next month.”

For critics of Jones and the MAGA movement he had a hand in building, hearing him announce the end of his site might seem like cause for celebration. That would be dangerously naive. Jones’ influence is everywhere, as the U.S. finds itself roiled by the very conspiracy theories he turned into a multimillion-dollar business after starting Infowars on public access TV in 1999...

• The ranks of officials around Trump are now partially composed of Jones-influenced conspiracists, governing on baseless stories about antifa, vaccines and shadowy cabals.

• Only after Trump leaves the stage, and the MAGA movement fades with him, will Infowars truly be gone.

French deterrence in North America would risk inflaming tensions with Washington

A very quiet queue has formed in Europe where some of Canada's long-standing, closest allies are seeking shelter under France's small but robust nuclear umbrella.

The initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron, who declared the next 50 years to be the "era of nuclear weapons," is — on paper — intended to add another layer of deterrence to NATO's American-backed security guarantees. Once again — on paper — Russia is the adversary that needs deterring...

Cubans say every day is a struggle for survival as they face blackouts, water and fuel shortages

U.S. committing 'crime' against people of Cuba, says senior government official

Melanie Chantelle González Barrios, 15, has two young children and says she dreams that some day, when they grow older, they'll be able to leave Cuba and escape the daily fight for survival her family faces.

González Barrios lives in a one-bedroom home in Havana's Buena Vista neighbourhood with her 17-year-old husband, a daughter aged one and a half, a six-month-old son and her grandmother. The family keeps several tubs and jugs always filled with water because they never know when they'll be hit with a power blackout, which also cuts off the water...
