EARTH ANGELS ARISE!👼 Only you know who you are; the time has arrived. Democrat and Republican leaders alike, grow a backbone, or this empire WILL FALL into dust and disarray.🌪💨

CANADIANS🍁 need more than ever to hold hands and stand by for heavy rolls as the ship comes about.🌊⛵️ That will be about it from the Newsroom for now. Now it's time for the Discussion of the Day.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

For the last couple of days, I have been discussing the concept of empathy and Earth angels, as I see it, they are an integral part of one another. Technically, you need both parts within the same component to make the rest of the mechanism work.

Empathy is often considered a key trait of Earth Angels, who are believed to be spiritually sensitive individuals with a strong connection to the natural world and a mission to help others. Earth Angels are thought to be naturally drawn to helping and healing, often experiencing the emotions of others deeply. Their sensitivity and compassion are seen as essential tools in fulfilling their earthly purpose.

In other words, just normal human beings with the same feelings as the average person, just with a deeper sense of tiny energetic impulses, if channeled through the ears, you can hear a person's heartbeat without using instruments. The senses go to a depth of, just - a guess -, on a one to ten scale, I would guess from personal experience, let us say the average human perceptions are a 5 on my 1 to 10 scale, I would be at about an 8, even with my physical hearing being impaired somewhat, I can still sense the vibrations of the lower sound waves.

Humans possess a wide range of sensitivities across different senses. For hearing, the audible range is generally considered to be between 20 Hz and 20,000 Hz, with the greatest sensitivity to frequencies between 1,000 Hz and 3,000 Hz. In terms of light, humans are most sensitive to wavelengths around 555 nm under daylight conditions, shifting to 507 nm at night. Vibrations are sensed over a broader range than sound, from well below 1 Hz up to at least 100 kHz. Additionally, individuals vary in their level of sensitivity, with some being more sensitive to stimuli than others.

Trump to announce trade deal with UK as tariffs continue to spark economic uncertainty

What we're covering:

• Trade deal: President Donald Trump said he will make a significant trade announcement with the United Kingdom at the White House this morning, adding that that it will be “the first of many.” British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he will make a statement about the outcome of trade talks with the US later today.

Americans have rushed to beat Trump's tariffs

President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff regime is widely expected to jack up prices in the US. That has American consumers and businesses rushing to buy what they can to avoid that sticker shock.

Retail sales surged 1.4% in March, the strongest monthly gain since January 2023, which was largely driven by a car-buying frenzy that economists attributed to consumers trying to get ahead of Trump’s 25% tariff on imported cars, which went into effect in April. Additional levies on auto parts went into effect earlier this month.

Businesses also haven’t wasted any time. Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of economic output, declined at an annualized rate of 0.3% in the beginning of the year, the first quarterly contraction since 2022, on a surge in imports that far outstripped exports, subtracting from GDP. Business investment was up in the first quarter for the same reason.

But those brief buying sprints will eventually fade — and it’s unclear what any trade deals will mean for consumer spending and business investment moving forward.

Bill Gates announces plan to give 'virtually all' his money away and end the Gates Foundation in 20 years

When Bill and Melinda French Gates created the Gates Foundation in 2000, they had planned for the organization to continue its work, using their remaining fortune, for several decades after they died. But now, the billionaire Microsoft founder says he doesn't want to wait that long to give away most of his wealth.

Gates announced on Thursday that he now plans to distribute "virtually all" of his wealth — around $200 billion, he estimates — within the next 20 years, before shuttering the foundation on December 31, 2045.

The announcement comes as President Donald Trump's administration is working to slash funding for health, foreign aid, and other public assistance programs — the types of causes the Gates Foundation supports — raising concerns about stalled progress on research and other crucial projects.

Now, there is no better way to describe an EARTH ANGEL.

I believe that the light has begun to shine through a light beam of hope through the storm clouds.

Ontario greenlights construction of Canada's first small modular reactor

Ontario Power Generation wants to build 4 mini nuclear power plants at a total cost of $20.9B

Premier Doug Ford's government has given Ontario Power Generation the green light to start construction on Canada's first small modular reactor, a new nuclear energy technology to be built next door to the Darlington power plant.

The small modular reactor (SMR) would provide 300 megawatts of power, enough electricity to supply about 300,000 homes, according to briefing documents from Ontario's Ministry of Energy and Mines.

It would be the first of four such reactors that OPG aims to build on the site, at a total project cost of $20.9 billion, in an effort to meet what's forecast to be a steep rise in demand for electricity in the province.

Turned away, then jailed, family makes third attempt to enter Canada

Aracely Serrano and her two daughters spent 2 weeks in a U.S. holding cell after Canada turned them away

Aracely Serrano arrived on Monday, shortly after 8:30 a.m., in the parking lot next to the U.S. port of entry in Niagara Falls, N.Y., where she had recently been detained along with her common-law husband and two daughters in a windowless holding cell for two weeks.

She pulled a light blue suitcase and a black backpack from the trunk of a vehicle that ferried Serrano and her two daughters, Madelin, 14, and Itzayana, 4, from a shelter in Buffalo, N.Y,, to the parking lot.

The trio walked past the stone walls of the U.S. port of entry, beneath the bulbous eyes of the surveillance cameras, and through the metal turnstiles below the sign that read, "Entry to Canada."
