Hello, there! Well, I finally got to sit behind the laptop here next to the sliding glass doors with the sun ☀️ streaming in. I had an in-home appointment with a lab specialist for an ECG, so that ate up a little time. But I am so ever grateful the lab techs will come to your home to do the tests for $100 bucks 💸, maybe 2, maybe 3 times a year, heck! That's worth it. So now I'm just beginning the day's news. What a gorgeous day, outside in my Green Space 🌱🌿 🍃 overlooking the still lush green woods of the parkland behind us. Something like "with a little imagination," a Tree House in a tropical forest 🏡🏝️ 🌲🌾🎍🌳 🌿🌴☀️

Canada’s counter-tariffs kick in on hundreds of U.S. goods

Canada’s counter-tariffs are now in effect on billions of dollars' worth of U.S. goods in response to the recent trade war escalation by U.S. President Donald Trump. Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed to match Trump’s recently imposed 50 percent tariffs “dollar-for-dollar,” and trade negotiations fell apart last month.

Carney is warning Canadians that the country’s pivot away from the United States will come at a cost, but that the alternative would be far worse.

For the prayer of the day 🙏, myself personally, I pray to the Great Spirit 🌌 to guide our entrusted leader 👨‍🦳 Mark Carney to make the right decisions and continue to guide us on the right path through this maze of catastrophic falueres and chaos that is destroying our governmental systems, like rats chewing on the wires of modern society, short circuiting and scrambling the data of our computer age system so that even our own personal devices 💻📱🖥️ can be used as psycological weapons of destruction, BEWARE! The web is like a cow pasture ෴⚘ Watch where you step! Or you may find out where the last cow 🐄 had a 💩

So, don't trust anyone on the internet unless you personally know who "THEY" are. Money scams are everywhere; they even call you personally on your home phone. Verify Verify Verify!

As for other scams, like the political stuff, it ain't difficult to answer if you're honest with yourself and listen to your inner self, your intuition, you know, unless you have no ethics, feelings, or caring. Dead inside, all that matters is self-pleasure or self-satisfaction. I know what it feels like, because I'm an EMPATH! I feel people. I don't just feel for them; I feel them from the inside out.

Question: Feeling dead inside except for feeling only self-satisfaction

Emotional Numbness:

🔹AI Overview

Feeling dead inside while only feeling self-satisfaction is often a defense mechanism where your nervous system shuts down vulnerable emotions and relies on pride or control to feel safe.

Why This Happens

• Emotional Numbness as Armor: When life gets too stressful or painful, your brain may turn off normal feelings like sadness, grief, or excitement to protect you from being hurt.
• The Ego's Safe Zone:

Self-satisfaction requires no vulnerability. Feeling superior, accomplished, or self-reliant lets you experience a positive emotion without risking rejection or disappointment from the outside world.

• Living on Autopilot:

You might be treating your life like a checklist, measuring success to feel a small spike of validation while remaining completely detached from real human connection.

What You Can Do

• Notice Without Judgment:
• Depersonalization: "Treat your numbness like a quiet observer. Do not force yourself to feel happy or sad."
• Look Beneath the Pride: Ask yourself if your self-satisfaction is hiding loneliness, exhaustion, or a fear of failure.
• Talk to a Professional:

Canada’s retaliatory tariffs take effect as Trump threatens to ban Bombardier jet sales in US

VIDEO | Included:

New York — The trade war between the United States and Canada has entered a new chapter — and it could quickly get even uglier.

At 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Canada imposed 15% to 50% duties on roughly $20 billion worth of American goods, matching the tariffs President Donald Trump imposed on Canadian goods last month.

Paper products, construction materials, home appliances and agricultural products are also facing fresh duties.

When the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough and start being serious about having those discussions — we can have those discussions,” Carney said last week.

Former GOP lawmakers join Democrats to challenge Trump’s mail-in voting crackdown

Current Democratic members of Congress and former Republican lawmakers are joining forces to call for the courts to stop Trump's mail-in voting executive order

A group of Democratic lawmakers — and some former GOP members of Congress — is asking the Supreme Court to block President Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict mail-in voting, arguing that the president has unlawfully seized federal election powers that belong to Congress and the states.

In a new amicus brief, details of which were shared first with MS NOW, more than 250 sitting and former lawmakers argue the president’s March 2026 executive order and a subsequent regulation announced by the U.S. Postal Service are both unconstitutional.

Great Spirit bless

Hi! Well, maybe if I stand on my chair, I'll be "higher" than you; otherwise, I'm usually shorter than most. Ya know, that's part of being invisible (inconspicuous), regular-looking like everything else around me, mundane; I could blend in standing next to a telephone pole, and people would walk right by me and not see me. I don't make eye contact and make like I'm part of my surroundings; "Hee, hee, hee!" Well, it worked for me 😁 but then I noticed things in nature and other stuff that people don't seem to notice or even know are there.

It's not X-ray vision, telescopic vision, or supervision, yeah, I come from the planet Krypton 🦸‍♀️ Well, I may as well have been an alien from another planet 🪐 growing up. I couldn't communicate with others except for a few, so I was mostly a loner, living in my own world, as I mentioned earlier.

Later in life, in the early 2000s, I was in my late 50s. I came across a Yahoo Group called the Indigo Adults. I believe they were the forerunners of the social groups like the Major Social Networks we have today. This particular group, Indigo Adults, came to my mind this morning, as I sat in my Green Space with my coffee in hand, greeting the sunrise.

Many of the younger generation of that decade called themselves THE SYSTEM BUSTERS. Boy! This memory has been haunting me since this Trumpo The Typo mess has begun! I've often wondered if they weren't part of the same club we have today, the Dunce Cadet Club, or the MAGAts. I believe they were all part of the same pile of 💩 If they were, I DID MY BEST to attempt to enlighten them to a different reality,

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

THE SYSTEM BUSTERS

IT'S NOT A MATTER OF SYSTEM BUSTING, I TOLD THEM BACK THEN, IT'S A MATTER OF REFORMING THE OLD OUTDATED SYSTEM TO THE NEEDS OF 21st CENTURY SOCIETY WITH NEW LAWS AND REGULATIONS, and get rid of the Corporate Thieves, they're the worst CANCER in the system. I got shot out of the group, and that was the end of the Yahoo Groups for me.

I drifted after that, doing my own blog for a while. I have many of the truths in that blog, both scientific and spiritual. It's not ordered; look through it and pick out what you want to read.

The Daily Tree House News reports are included.

https://cindyopenhouse.blogspot.com/

Anyway, THIS IS ALL A LIE. This Orange, s--ty diapered president 💩 🧼 (‿ˠ‿) and his Dunce Cadet 🙃𓉴 regime are upsetting and tearing apart the old system that the world uses for commerce and legal intercontinental transactions, and in whose dollar? CERTAINLY NOT BLOOD 🩸 MONEY FROM A NAZI ✠︎ COUNTRY!

Be honest, have you ever heard of a NAZI country's people prospering? Of course not, the Oligarchs need to stuff their pockets with the people's money, don't you know. They come first, leaving no room for growth, health, or prosperity, or even to feed the people. It is death, torture, starvation, no housing, freezing to death, and disease. There are all kinds of proof of this in the old records from World War II. Trumpo can't change all of our historic records, no matter how many incinerators he has. THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN (Ecclesiastes 1:9)

IT'S NOT HARD TO TELL WHICH IS THE DARK SIDE AND WHICH IS THE LIGHT SIDE,

Unless someone puts a lampshade over your head 👩🏮 and the Orange Trumpo The Typo in 💩 🧼 is trying awful hard to keep pulling down on the lampshade so you can't see.

_*Indigo Adults? Of the hundreds of members present at the time, I believe two individuals were truly gifted. One of them lost her farm because she made the mistake of getting cancer and later passed away, unnecessarily, just because she couldn't afford health insurance and had no cash. In AMERICA, IN A CIVILIZED COUNTRY, LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE!

I do believe there are new children on the block, and I believe no one knows who they are yet. Not enough people who are aware yet to organize. It's unfortunate that sometimes it takes one hell of a big bang 💥to wake people up. "WE'RE NO LONGER IN KANSAS, TOTO!"

Think about it, folks, Nobody is gonna come to save your butt unless you get off of yours and begin caring for others around you. IT IS EMPATHY THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO KILL, DON'T YOY SEE!

Don't forget the first laws governing a society were written by the Five Nations of the Iroquois, the Iroquois Constitution. If that isn't the most appropriate way to run a country, by the rules written by the country's own first Native Peoples.

You can write around it and add to it to fit our modern-day system of doing things, but never change the basic laws of the United States Constitution.

They have many names, like The New Children on The Block, Indigo, Empaths, and Highly Sensitive. Out of these there is one that is scientifically viable

BREAKING NEWS RECAP:

Democrats might win in the midterms — but a whole new set of problems await

The left wing of the Democratic Party flourished this summer as fed-up liberals in key races across the country have eschewed traditional, more moderate candidates in favor of hard-charging progressives.

But behind the scenes, ultra-progressive House members and candidates are pushing their own party leaders to reflect more of that mood — arguing that Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries and his allies are, so far, failing to grasp the demands of far-left voters who showed up in droves this summer.

Those liberals watched in alarm in recent weeks as Jeffries publicly disavowed their marquee “Medicare for All” bill while a pro-Israel Democrat was elevated to a key foreign policy role within the caucus. They also argue his allies were working to undermine a pair of progressive candidates in Michigan and California...

Make no mistake: Democrats are not the only political party with an antisemitism problem.

he Democratic Party is deservedly facing pointed questions about its willingness to confront antisemitism in its own ranks. In Maine, Graham Platner easily won the Democratic Senate primary despite him having a tattoo on his chest resembling a Nazi symbol. In New York’s 13th Congressional District, voters nominated a Democrat who attended a rally the day after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel where attendees reportedly condoned the massacre.

And last month in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic nomination for Senate while attacking Israel, demonizing the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC, contextualizing anti-Jewish violence and appearing on the campaign trail with Twitch streamer Hasan Piker, who has routinely employed antisemitic rhetoric. But make no mistake: Democrats are not the only political party with an antisemitism problem...

• In short, Musk says he knows a Jew when he sees one, irrespective of how Jews define themselves.:
• Musk is seemingly obsessed with using his platform and huge social media reach to fish for online validation and attention — and nothing gets attention on social media quite like demonizing and attacking others.:

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

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

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.:
• More articles: The government’s top three lawyers share something in common — they were all on Donald Trump’s legal team
• Democrats must employ speed and aggression and dole out real consequences to counteract the delays and drawn-out legal proceedings that Trump can be expected to use.:

'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.

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...

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.

“A U.S. aircraft carrier and guided-missile destroyer successfully evaded multiple unprovoked Iranian attacks,” the statement from US Central Command said on Saturday...

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.

Law 9 took effect on Sept. 1.
