Good morning! I pray that you be well, at peace, provided for, & blessed🙏🌅


I was up at the usual time this morning.🌄 At this time of year, I'm up with the sun. Back when I was younger, when I had time off, I used to think getting up early was literally for the birds. And especially during the winter, you had to be COO COO!🦜 to get up from under the warm blankets early to go out in the cold.


Now I enjoy getting up at sunrise and listening to the birds,🐦 or in the winter, it's just pleasant to get up and see the brilliant sun streaming in through the windows, especially from my green space outside the sliding glass doors when I sit at the dining table, it makes it feel balmy all year around—bringing the French Riviera to our balcony, or wherever tropical places your imaginations you wish to be.


It is supposed to be partly sunny🌥 and around 70°F today, but it doesn't seem like that at this time. When I went out a while ago, it was definitely coat time, and the clouds were moving from the northeast. The Scrotum (sagging jetstream)🌬🐧 effect is still with us.🥺 I pray that it gets pleasant enough to just sit out there in the sun, without a coat,🧥 at least for a while.🙏


🙏👼 Let us also pray today, Great Spirit, G-d,😶‍🌫️ to protect, help, and guide our brothers and sisters🫂👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 south of the border, the victims of The Orange Jabba the Hutt, Kink of Bizarromarica, and his Gestapo.🥷

Inside Trump’s negotiating strategy with China

Switzerland's President Karin Keller-Sutter, US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Switzerland's Economy Minister Federal Councillor Guy

Parmelin, in Geneva, Switzerland.


A few hours after President Donald Trump’s trade negotiating team boarded a flight for the most important economic meetings in the world, their boss took to social media to publicly throw a curveball into the negotiations.

That was the point – not necessarily the path.

Trump’s decision to float the possibility of cutting his 145% tariffs on China to 80% gave the impression that Trump was negotiating with himself before the discussions started. But the substance of the message, was not a surprise to his top negotiators, who have discussed the possibility of lowering America’s tariff on China in internal discussions ahead of the US-China talks in Geneva, Switzerland.

European leaders visit Kyiv, and tell Russia: 30-day ceasefire now or face massive sanctions

Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, France's President Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz arrive at Kyiv railway station on May 10, 2025. Kyiv, Ukraine

- CNN -

The leaders of Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Poland have told Russian leader Vladimir Putin to agree to a 30-day ceasefire starting on Monday or face possible “massive” sanctions, according to French President Emmanuel Macron, on a highly symbolic visit to Kyiv. The demand comes with the backing of the White House after a joint phone call with President Donald Trump, the Europeans said.


Standing alongside Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, the four leaders - Macron, new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk – said the ceasefire should be observed on land, at sea, and in the air.


If successful, Macron said, it could pave the way for “the immediate launch of negotiations to build a robust and lasting peace.”

Can machine-grown lettuce help cut Canada's reliance on U.S. greens? This farmer is betting on it

In 2024, 92 per cent of Canadian lettuce was imported from the U.S. A third-generation farmer and the owner of Haven Greens, a new automated greenhouse in King City, Ont.


As Canada's reliance on U.S. produce hits the spotlight, one Ontario farmer has a pitch: locally grown, year-round produce, grown by artificial intelligence and automation.

In a sprawling two-hectare greenhouse, tucked inside a wooden red barn in King City, Ont., an animated Jay Willmot, farmer and entrepreneur, shared his vision.

"From sowing and seeding, all the way through to harvest and packing, no one touches this crop," he said in front of rows and rows of lettuce shoots.

Lettuce close to home:

Even without AI, a traditional greenhouse, or a vertical farm, would have addressed the issue of year-round growth. It's a route many are choosing to take; Canadian greenhouse lettuce production alone has quadrupled over the last decade, according to Statistics Canada.

Prime Minister Mark Carney's new cabinet is expected to be larger than his first, but could include a tiered structure with a secondary ring of ministers.

Rideau Hall announced Friday that Carney and his cabinet will be sworn in Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. in Ottawa by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon.

Three Liberal sources tell CBC News that one of the options Carney's considering is selecting a core group of senior ministers and a secondary group of ministers of state.

Good morning! I pray that you all be well, at peace, provided for, and blessed🙏🌅


Well, what do you know? It's a sunny☀️ morning with normal seasonal temperatures out there. I do pray that the great scrotum-sagging, (jetstream-sagging) time is over. "Someone hand me a couple of tent poles, please!"⛺️ Looking so forward to going out in my green space and listening to the lazy hum and buzz of insects, crickets, grasshoppers, katydids, and the May Flies, which should be out as soon as it's warm at night. Then you get the moths and other night-flying insects, and so on.🦋🦗🐝🐞🐜


Many times through the winter months, especially on cloudy days, lots of those this year, I turn all the LED lights in the house on for a semblance of bright sun, and I now and again visit YouTube nature videos to break the monotony. That is also the reason I greened up the balcony with artificial plants.


I can look out from the kitchen table through the sliding glass doors on a bright sunny day, and it looks inviting, like a penthouse terrace somewhere in the Mediterranean. Won't be going south of the border for a while. Peaceful and safe places in the tropics seem to be getting scarcer these days. So I brought the tropics to us.


In the summer, I get the bonus of a green background of trees across the driveway. Thus, The Tree House,🌞 like I said yesterday. Back in the day, we used to shoot off our mouths🫦 and tend to our beeswax, but now they shoot off their guns and dynamite💣 at everyone else's beeswax. 😢 DO YOU KNOW HOW SILLY THAT LOOKS? If you stand outside the human race, let's say from orbit somewhere where you can observe the entire human race as a whole, and see all the STUPIDITY of being HELL BENT ON GENOCIDE? What kind of butt hole dumb, dumb,🗿 donkey sh-t💩 is that? And we say we are in a civilised society? If what's going on out there is sanity, then I'm the Pope's sister. Hi ROB!👼

My apologies if that may hurt anyone, I know that hurt, it hurts me deeply as well. America was my second home.


Back then, there was no border for Metis. Now, they probably would send me to El Salvador for being French, but I look more Hispanic and injun mixture in color, without disrespect meant to my Native Amarican brothers and sisters, But help us all, G-d, IT IS THE TRUTH.

Trump, in a major concession, says the tariff on China should be 80% — but will leave it up to Bessent

In a series of posts on Truth Social, Trump appeared to lay out his demands — and concessions — for the meeting between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and their Chinese counterparts. Trump said China must import more US goods, and in return, he believes the United States should lower its 145% tariff on most Chinese goods to 80%.

“CHINA SHOULD OPEN UP ITS MARKET TO USA — WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THEM!!! CLOSED MARKETS DON’T WORK ANYMORE!!!,” Trump posted.

Internal FAA report downplayed risks of data outage affecting Newark air traffic controllers

Planes are parked at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday, as flight delays and cancellations continued at the airport.


Before the FAA moved air traffic controllers who oversee the Newark Liberty International Airport airspace to a new site in Philadelphia last year, the agency’s experts concluded the odds of a dangerous communications breakdown were extremely unlikely: 1 in 11 million, according to an internal report obtained by CNN.

In reality, the safety concerns officials downplayed appear to have occurred multiple times since the new system went into place last summer, according to multiple controllers.

Data outages – including a failure of about 90 seconds of radar and radio service last week – have repeatedly left controllers without the ability to see the locations of planes they were tracking. The problems led to several controllers taking trauma leave from work and sparked the massive flight delays and cancellations roiled Newark over the last week.

With measles outbreaks growing in Canada, this mother pleads with parents to vaccinate

Measles outbreaks are growing in Ontario, Alberta, and cases rising in Saskatchewan


Rebecca Archer lovingly places a pair of small glasses on a shelf filled with memorabilia like trinkets and photos. They belonged to her 10-year-old daughter, Renae, who suddenly died after a measles infection.

"She was just really intelligent. Just a really happy child, always smiling," she remembers.

Renae was just five months old when she got the measles – too young to be vaccinated, but unable to avoid being exposed during an outbreak in Manchester, England, in 2013.

Oil prices are down. It means something different in Canada vs. the U.S

Lower prices due to market concerns of low demand and high supply Pumpjacks draw out oil and gas from well heads near Calgary in April 2023. Canada has the third-largest oil reserves in the world and is the world's fourth-largest oil producer.


A steep drop in oil prices in the first months of the year has undermined any plans for oil companies to "drill, baby drill."

But reaction to the plunging price of crude has played out differently in Canada versus the U.S, with companies south of the border eyeing production cuts while the Canadian sector holds steady.

Since the beginning of the year, the benchmark price of a barrel of oil has tumbled from a high of $80 US a barrel to around $60 US this week.

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.


- Google Search -


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.

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."

Land of Whispering Pines🌲


Good morning! I pray that you all be well, at peace, provided for, and blessed🙏🌅


Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's a beautiful, bright, sunny day. The air is still a little cool but pleasant enough to sit, and I just let my mind go where it will and enjoy the outdoors in my green space for a while. With the trees across the driveway all mostly in whole leaves now, it really makes it feel like we are in a tree house in the woods. If we had a lake for a backyard, we would have it made. "Hey Ma, whars my straw hat and fishin' pole? Ahs'm goin' down to the pond to do some fishin"🪱🎣🚣‍♀️


MEMORY LANE:

You know, I've been a' thinkin', and so far no smoke comin' out of my ears, that's a good sign. Anyway, I've been thinking about back home, where from the time I could walk down the hill to the lake from the house we lived in on top of the hill, surrounded by a couple of hundred acres of woodland all around. I was either down at the lake or on top of the hill overlooking a good portion of the five-mile-long lake, which was literally our backyard.


Anyway, this is the most peaceful I have felt since I left the homestead, as I call it. I am at peace with myself, and I no longer need the boxing gloves to fight anymore. There's nothing left for me to fight except to share my compassion and empathy with anyone willing to listen. For the time I am here, that's my payback for the wrongs I did, by giving it back with compassion and empathy wherever I can for the entire planet. Empaths are like that; both the animate and the inanimate are made up of an energetic intelligence one can feel, but we can not know about in this realm. You cannot stuff infinity in a finite container. If I could, I would have it stuffed in jars in my wine cellar.


DISCUSSION OF THE DAY:


LATENT ENERGY AND EMPATHS

- Google Search -


Empaths and latent energy are related in that empaths are highly sensitive to the energy fields of others, effectively absorbing and feeling the emotions and experiences of those around them. This "latent energy" refers to the subtle energy everyone emits, which empaths can sense and interpret. While this ability can be a source of great empathy and understanding, it can also lead to feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained.


Benefits of Understanding and Managing Latent Energy:


  • By understanding the energy field and how empaths interact with it, they can better manage their sensitivity and develop strategies for self-care.
  • This allows empaths to harness their empathetic abilities for positive outcomes, such as providing compassionate support to others without becoming overwhelmed.
  • Setting boundaries and protecting their energy allows empaths to connect with others in a healthy and sustainable way, fostering stronger relationships and a sense of well-being.


FEELING LATENT ENERGY SOURCES:


"Feeling latent energy sources" can be understood in two ways: a literal feeling of "hidden" energy within a physical system, or a more metaphorical sense of untapped potential within oneself. In physics, latent heat refers to the energy absorbed or released during a phase change (like melting or freezing) without a temperature change. In a more general sense, "latent energy" can be thought of as untapped potential or hidden resources within a person or system.


2. Latent Energy in a More General Sense:

Definition:

In this context, "latent energy" can refer to untapped potential, hidden resources, or dormant abilities within a person or system.

  • Recognizing and harnessing latent energy can lead to personal growth, creativity, and resourcefulness

Metaphorical (Personal):

  • A feeling of "latent energy" in a metaphorical sense might be a sense of potential or motivation that is not yet fully realized, according to Insight Timer. This could be a sense of untapped creativity, a hidden drive to achieve something, or a feeling of inner power.

The untapped potential of the community:


  • Port Weller West might have a wealth of hidden talents, resources, or opportunities that are yet to be fully realized.


My opinion is that it is the ability to sense and see on a level deeper than the average; the average is anyone who fears to leave the box of restricted thinking, taboo!

The number of casualties from overnight shelling by the Pakistani military on the Indian side of the Line of Control in Kashmir has risen, with 12 civilians killed and 57 injured, a senior Indian defense source told CNN.

India and Pakistan have had near daily exchanges of fire across the Line of Control since the April 22 tourist massacre that sent relations between the two sides plummeting.

Pakistan's military previously confirmed it shelled Indian positions in Indian-administered Kashmir overnight in response to India's airstrikes on its territory. India accused the Pakistanis of unprovoked firing over the Line of Control, the de facto border that divides disputed Kashmir.

Historians say he's not exactly wrong, but the story of the Canada-U.S. border is complicated


U.S. President Donald Trump repeated one of his favourite talking points in his meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney Tuesday, saying the Canada-U.S. border is an "artificially drawn line."

"Somebody drew that line many years ago with, like, a ruler — just a straight line right across the top of the country," he said when the two leaders met in front of reporters at the White House.

When a reporter later asked Carney what he was thinking when Trump made the comment, the prime minister quipped, "I'm glad that you couldn't tell what was going through my mind." READ MORE:

Good morning! I pray that you all be well, at peace, provided for, and blessed🙏🌅


Well, it was a beautiful sunrise, and the temperature was mild for a change. It was nice to just sit in my green space comfortably for a couple of minutes without reaching for a coat. Unfortunately, it's going to return to grey, gloomy, cool, damp sh-t days until next week, when we will finally be back in normal weather for May, sun, partial clouds, and in the mid 70's F. I hope that we get a late summer to make up for all of the springtime we didn't get.😉

DISCUSSION:


AWAKENING

Earth Angels, it is time:


I have not been keeping up with the latest goings-on in the news for the past week. Still, on the good side, I have felt a stirring in the works, like the main spring in my watch is about to become a sudden, unforeseen unraveling, that goes for mummies, too. Did you ever see a mummy in their underwear? I hear distant drums, I think the natives are restless tonight, Ma!


Really, I feel resistance in the general populace, and it is now spilling over to the higher places as well. Large companies and even corporations are getting the "natives are restless tonight" syndrome. I just pray it's not too late.


Remember, not long after I began the Tree House News, at the beginning of Trump's inauguration, I shared this message on my Facebook group and my other social network groups.


I prayed for the EARTH ANGELS to start their work. It appears that they are coming out on many different levels. The Earth angels are just ordinary human beings like the person who dashes in front of a speeding bus to save a child's life. They don't even know they are Earth angels until they are called upon.

THEY ARE CALLED UPON TODAY!. Time to awaken, Code Red!🔴💥


NOTICE I will be making an adjustment to my blog for those groups that have a limited amount of characters you can post; I will post an introduction along with the link that goes to my blog to read the full news post. Since most social networks already have translators, it is not necessary to have a separate post in Spanish.


Posting both English and Spanish takes up too much room on the blog and too much scrolling. I still have to figure out how to post the link so that when it opens, it does so from the top and not the bottom. My apologies for that. I am aware of many who use a blog to pass on a complete post, but I have not used my blog link to attach to other social networks before, so I'm still a greenhorn at that.


There is not much more to report for this first full day back in the Newsroom. Now is the time to check out what's on the National News


BREAKING NEWS:


Inside the multi-day meltdown at Newark airport

Air traffic controllers in Philadelphia had been guiding planes to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey last week when communications suddenly crashed.

"Approach, are you there?" one pilot asked the controller.

The controller had stopped responding.

United Airlines Flight 1951, flying from New Orleans to the Newark hub, tried to radio the controller five times before finally getting a response.

"United 1951, how do you hear me?" the controller asks, according to air traffic control conversations recorded by the website LiveATC.net.

"I got you loud and clear, United 1951," the pilot responds.

Those 30 seconds of silence when communication went down ultimately cascaded into a weeklong meltdown at Newark, one of the nation's largest airports. It resulted in delays and cancellations for thousands of customers, controllers taking leave for trauma, and renewed scrutiny on an outdated air traffic control system.

Trump's trade war with Canada has backfired on America. Now he has a crucial meeting with Mark Carney

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will visit US President Donald Trump at the White House on Tuesday in what could be one of the most contentious meetings between the neighboring countries' leaders in years.

Canada is America's second-biggest trading partner and one of its closest allies on many fronts, from national security to commerce. But Trump's aggressive tariff blitz in recent months has undermined that longstanding relationship — and inadvertently helped Carney consolidate political power.

In a stunning rebuke to Trump, Canada's Liberal Party, with Carney as its leader, won federal elections last week, putting the newly elected government on a collision course with the Trump administration. In a defiant post-election speech, Carney said "we are over the shock of the American betrayal, but we should never forget the lessons."

5 things to know about South Korea's military submarine pitch to Canada


South Korea pitches Canada on $20B-plus plan for subs, armoured vehicles


Country is making coordinated push to work with Canada amid uneasy U.S. relations


A trio of South Korean companies have made a significant, multibillion-dollar pitch to Canada, promising to quickly replace the navy's aging submarines, deliver more firepower to the army and help revitalize the country's defence industrial base.

A detailed overview of the unsolicited proposals, which were delivered to the federal government in early March, was given to CBC News.

The companies have the full backing of the South Korean government, which is eager to expand the defence and security partnership it signed with former prime minister Justin Trudeau two years ago in Seoul.

CBC News was given unprecedented, exclusive access to senior Korean defence and security officials as well as two defence plants and shipyards, which have set aside their competitive differences in order to bid on Canada's submarine replacement program.

Hanwha Ocean and Hyundai Heavy Industries submitted a detailed, joint presentation worth $20 billion to $24 billion, promising to deliver the first four submarines by 2035, the current Royal Canadian Navy deadline to receive just one new boat. It has also pitched building maintenance facilities in this country, which would employ Canadians.
