May Great Spirit bless 🙏

What a beautiful, bright, sunny day! I was out in my Green Space earlier with my coffee, but it was downright chilly. But that's typical of February, a bright sun where you feel the warmth through the back of your coat, and you know that the milder weather is just around the corner, the warming sun ☀️♨️it just needs time to catch up. Since today is Groundhog Day, and since Billy 🦦 saw his shadow this morning 🌄 and he went back into his den, that means another six more weeks of winter 😕 Billy might not be completely wrong in his forecast. I know this clipper just won't budge away from us, and there is still more coming from the northwest.

AccuWeather indicates there is another week of bad weather coming, with lots of snow and bitter cold. SO BUCKLE UP AND BETTER NOT PUT THAT BEAR COAT AWAY YET. I ain't going out there unless I have the bear with me in my bear coat 🐻 I guess the bear won't mind.*_

_*So, my dear friends, that's about enough nonsense from the Newsroom this morning. Thank you for dropping by. Next is the *Subjet du jour,* Today's Discussion. I pray that you all be well, safe, blessed, and guided on this day in making the right decision 🙏

AI In Buisness:

Warren Buffett Is Betting on Fintech – Should You Follow

AI's real strength is not just faster chips but its ability to plug into almost any sector, cutting costs, streamlining operations, and unlocking entirely new ways to make money. Finance is the most obvious next target because, at its core, money is simply information flowing through digital pipes.

Analysts now project that AI in financial services could grow from roughly $20 billion today to more than $80 billion within the next four years, underscoring how quickly this convergence is accelerating. That makes fintech a central pillar of the "second wave" of AI adoption, and arguably one of the richest hunting grounds for outsized returns.

Warren Buffett has already illustrated the upside by backing fintech bank Nu, where Berkshire's stake rode a multi-bagger move as the stock climbed from $3 to nearly $20 per share...

Question: Is Warren Buffett investing in AI? SNOPES

🔹AI Overview

Yes, Warren Buffett and his company, Berkshire Hathaway, are investing in AI, but not in the way typically associated with "hot" speculative AI stocks. Instead, they are investing in established, profitable companies that use AI to enhance their core businesses...

I knew this since the onset of CANADA's eagerness to use AI for business transactions way back, probably even before Trumpo the Typo's first term, so there's a possibility that Warren Buffett has something to do with this transaction. I know that, personally, if it came to dealing with finances, I would trust Warren as my manager and confidant.

Question: Warren Buffett - Do his profitable companies that use AI have anything to do with Canada's business AI?

Yes! Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway holds several highly profitable companies that are heavily integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into their operations, despite his historical aversion to technology stocks. As of late 2025/early 2026, roughly 23% to 24% of Berkshire's equity portfolio is invested in AI-driven companies, primarily Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet.

Trump’s AI push exposes a divide in the MAGA movement

A months-long power struggle over the future of artificial intelligence spilled into Vice President JD Vance’s office in November, when two of President Donald Trump’s allies met face-to-face for a frank conversation.

David Sacks, the White House AI czar, had spent 2025 trying to tuck language into must-pass federal funding bills that would have wiped away state AI regulations and left Congress with limited new oversight of the powerful technology. But Mike Davis, a longtime Trump legal adviser skeptical of the president’s new tech allies, twice helped rally conservative activists and lawmakers to stop it. Trump, meanwhile, had grown publicly frustrated at the lack of progress on one of his top priorities.

In Vance’s office, Davis, known for his combative style, accused Sacks of trying to run over Congress and impose artificial intelligence on the country without sufficient safeguards, according to two people with knowledge of the meeting. Sacks countered that he was simply carrying out Trump’s desire to unleash an AI boom, and Davis was getting in the way...

**Speaker Johnson must sell conservatives on funding deal Democrats pushed for — or risk lengthy government shutdown**

House Speaker Mike Johnson is back in Washington this week with a tough ask for his fellow Republicans: accept a funding deal that Democrats pushed for or risk another painful, prolonged government shutdown.

Two days after a partial lapse in federal funding, the House returns Monday to prepare a vote that many GOP lawmakers are already dreading. Republicans are under pressure to give final approval to a deal between President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats that temporarily extends Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks — alongside a broader, full-year spending deal — so the two parties can negotiate over Democrats’ demands to rein in Immigration and Customs Enforcement tactics.

The final vote is expected as early as Tuesday, which would allow federal workers to avoid feeling any major effects of the shutdown. But even with Trump endorsing the package, several GOP hardliners are revolting against the idea...

So sadly America isn't the eagle that used to fly free, it now has an albatross around its neck, the albatross being the rather large Orange Pus Bag, Kink of New Shmukarica. Thank G-d <- The real one that thankfully I am not... I wouldn't even want to think of myself as even a demigod. If I were, Mr. Trump would become a rather tiny bug 🪲 in a rug that sees a lot of traffic 👞👟🥾👡👠🥿👢🥾 in a day 🔘<-big period. 👅👅👅

Already, a key sticking point in negotiations is emerging: the use of administrative versus judicial warrants.

“The administrative warrants, in our view, aren’t worth the paper they are written on,” Jeffries said on ABC’s “This Week.”_ ...

That last part makes it as guaranteed as the final result of when you realise you're about to lose your head in a guillotine.

Doesn't seem like AI is as welcomed in the US by the MAGAts 🦠

Fulton County expected to sue over FBI’s seizure of 2020 election records

An official in Fulton County, Georgia, announced the county will file a lawsuit Monday over the FBI’s search and seizure of 2020 election records. Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. said the lawsuit will “challenge the legality of the warrant and the seizure of sensitive election records, and force the government to return the ballots taken.”

Arrington said that the county’s attorneys are expected to file a lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of Georgia to fight the action of Trump’s Justice Department and the FBI. The FBI served a warrant last Wednesday at the Fulton County election office, near Atlanta, Georgia, taking 700 boxes of election materials as it probes alleged voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election...

Alberta orders fatality inquiry into death of man at Edmonton emergency room

Minister says Alberta emergency room deaths and poor outcomes are exceptions to the norm

I checked all the provinces, and they are all suffering the same systemic shortage of everything. I don't understand why, when back in

Question: Money allotted by the Trudo fedgov for health care to provinces?

🔹AI Overview

The Trudeau federal government has committed to a 10-year, $196.1 billion health funding plan (starting in 2023-24) to support provincial and territorial healthcare systems. This investment includes $46.2 billion in new funding on top of previously budgeted amounts.

WHAT DID THEY DO WITH THE Fn. MONEY?

Thieves? Then do something about the damned thieves!

NOTE: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the proposal on February 7, 2023.

And all we have been getting is more clinic closures and a greater shortage of doctors, even before Trudo's government gave them a shot at stopping the Anemic healthcare system from bleeding to death. It's as though people's health doesn't matter. Well, listen, Buster! When you go to your factory in the morning, and all you have is a skeleton crew to work your factory because everyone is home sick in bed or dead because they couldn't get health care.

And if it's Doctors overbilling that are the thieves? That is very disappointing to think that a Doctor who is supposed to care for others, because they are supposed to be empathetic to others, that patient you are overcharging the federal Health Care system for is THEFT! Maybe you even contribut pricatising health care. What about the people you are denying health care because they can't afford it? Is That being Empathic? May you burn in hell for your greed and theft.

That will be about it for me for today. I get so frustrated about these Federal government bloodsucking thieves. THESE ARE THE ONES THAT CAN DESTROY AN ENTIRE COUNTRY'S ECONOMIC BASE.

🔹AI Overview

Despite the announcement of $46.2 billion in new federal funding for healthcare in February 2023, Canada continues to face doctor shortages and clinic closures due to a combination of systemic, demographic, and administrative factors that money alone cannot immediately fix.

BULLSHIT LIARS! Just excuses to steal the money and use it for something else.
