"Well, hello there, pussy cat!" 🐱 and from whence do you hail, Dahlin'? She tells me she comes from Mars 🟠👽 "Bleep, bleep, ha, ha!" and that the Sun exists only to shine on Trumpo The Typo's Fascist (‿ˠ‿)

Here's to you all! Have the best of what you can make of a day.

O.M.G.! It's sunny out, and when I went out on my Green Space, it was chilly, but this chill is different, no bite to it. The change is coming. A little mania is setting in. Gee, it's about time I shook out the moths!

The Light Arrives:

"I'll take several pails of that sunshine, please."☀️ after all that gloom and doom and all those brooding storm clouds on the horizon every day 🌩️ and there's not a ray of sunshine ☁️ anywhere to be seen. So it was with my many months of illness and recovery, relapse, illness, and recovery 🤮🤧🥴🤮 stuff. Now, for the first time since January 20, 2017, I am sitting here at my keyboard in my Newsroom, looking out the window at the bright sun coming over the trees 🌄 I closed my eyes, sat back still for a moment, just relaxed in my comfy office chair, letting the sun shine through the window and down on me 🌞🪟👩 A feeling of peace and warmth washed over me 😮‍💨

May whatever Higher Power you believe in bless you on this day. May G-d Bless.

TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

AWAKENING:

No, not the stuff they talk about on social networks; I am talking about the biological changes and conscious awakening in the evolutionary process of all living things. It is well known that most, if not all, biological life has evolved and adapted to many different forms during and between Ice Ages, including insects that can survive frozen in ice for possibly several climate changes over the past millennia, haven't they?

Well, I believe the next turnover is about to arrive, or the entirety of humanity may suddenly become nothing but a larger replica of Mars. If that occurs, all of humanity and all other life forms will have been nothing but a boondoggle to begin with. I don't think that was the intent of "Thought, or G-d, or whatever is wasting its time to create a boondoggle. Unless we're a failed experiment, do we want to be one? It's our choice, gods 👼 don't create boondogles, people do 🧓👳‍♀️👴👩‍🦰👨‍🦱👩‍🦳👶👩👨🧑 = ⚡️💫🧨💣💥🌟⚔️🔥and, let's not forget to build walls 🧱 and borders 〽️

My question: Evolution of Consciousness

The evolution of consciousness is theorized to have emerged as a survival advantage, moving organisms beyond simple reflexes to enable flexible, planned, and internally guided behavior, likely linked to nervous system complexity, especially the neocortex in mammals. Theories suggest it allows for better sensory integration, global information processing, self-awareness, and goal-directed actions, potentially starting in early bilaterians and advancing with brain structures, though some view it as a quantum phenomenon or an evolutionary byproduct.

BREAKING NEWS:

Trump’s growing volatility is putting the world on edge

The most volatile president in living memory is becoming ever more driven by the whiplash of his personal whims. The disciplined execution of the early months of President Donald Trump’s second term — when well-drafted executive orders reshaped Washington and America’s global priorities — are now a memory.

Shuttering USAID, gutting the federal government, and assaulting the Ivy League curriculum might have been controversial. But they sprang from a rational playbook drawn up during Trump’s four-year exile from the White House...

Ontario policing inspector announces provincewide look at how police, boards can protect against corruption

Announcement follows arrest of 7 Toronto police officers, 1 retired officer

Ontario's inspector general of policing will conduct a provincewide independent review of police in the wake of a corruption scandal involving more than half a dozen Toronto police officers. Ryan Teschner said incidents of corruption “understandably shake public trust” and a thorough independent investigation is needed to answer the public’s questions.

“People most often encounter police at moments of crisis, when they are frightened, injured, grieving or in immediate danger,” he said. “In those moments, public trust is not abstract. It determines whether people will seek help, whether they will cooperate, tell the truth and accept protection." ...

Grief grows as bodies of kidnapped workers of Canadian mining company identified in Mexico

Bodies of 3 men who worked for Vancouver-based Vizsla Silver Corp. have been identified

Jaime Castañeda said he identified the body of his 43-year-old geologist brother on Sunday by viewing photographs presented to him by officials at the federal attorney general's local headquarters in the coastal Mexican city of Mazatlán, in the northwestern state of Sinaloa.

José Manuel Castañeda Hernández was working for Vancouver-based mining company Vizsla Silver Corp. when he was kidnapped on Jan. 23, along with nine other employees, from Concordia, a municipality that sits about 50 kilometres east of Mazatlán. "In truth, this has been very painful to be here, in a place where we don't want to be," said Jaime Castañeda, in a telephone interview with CBC News...

To attract more doctors, Grand Forks commits to covering medical clinic costs

City spending local tax dollars to shore up access to primary care

The City of Grand Forks in B.C.'s West Kootenay region has launched a one-year pilot program that uses local tax dollars to help recruit and retain doctors, a role typically handled by the provincial health system. The city has set aside $125,000 to help cover fixed operating costs at the local medical clinic, including rent, utilities and licensing fees.

Grand Forks’ move comes as many communities across British Columbia struggle to ensure residents have access to regular primary care. Despite provincial efforts to connect patients with family doctors, access gaps remain, particularly in rural and smaller communities, putting pressure on local governments to find solutions...

WHY DOESN'T JACK-ASS RUSTY FENDER FORD TRY THIS INSTEAD OF STEALING FEDERAL FUNDS ISSUED FOR HEALTH CARE SERVICES IN ONTARIO, CLOSING CLINICS, AND CHASING OVERWORKED DOCTORS OUT OF THE PROVINCE?

I would still much appreciate an accounting of what happened to Total New Federal Funding: The agreement provides roughly $8.4 billion in new federal funding to Ontario over 10 years to improve health care, including a $776 million immediate one-time Canada Health Transfer (CHT) top-up. That was only two years ago. I guess it only takes a few key strokes to make 8.4 billion dollars disappear. CARNEY! You're looking to put corporate thieves behind bars, get to work.

Question | Feb. 2026: Is Ontario Hiring american doctors, if so, why are they closing clinics and still short of doctors?

As of February 2026, Ontario is actively hiring and fast-tracking U.S.-licensed doctors to address a severe physician shortage, including new immigration streams for foreign doctors launched in early 2026. However, the province continues to struggle with a shortage and clinic closures due to a high volume of retirements, an aging population, and administrative hurdles that outpace current recruitment efforts.

Let us all pray that this is a begining
