Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good morning! Well, it's good, I guess, if you're a duck, a frog, or a fish, with temps cool enough so even the birds are wearing raincoats and rubber boots. Seriously, one still needs to wear a coat in this grey, cool, damp weather and rain. Boooring!

TODAY'S DISCUSSION

GRIPE OR GRATITUDE

OH, STOP YOUR GRIPIN' ALREADY!

🌸~ MY GRIPE, PRAYER, AND GRATITUDE ~🌺

Before I begin my usual morning delivery, I just wish to reminisce a bit about my Dad and how much Mark Carney reminds me of him.

Listening to Mark Carney's speeches, how he explains what we only see from "The Maybe" position! Surprisingly, turns out to be in reality.

His thinking and policies are a breath of fresh air, instead of all the air sandwiches 🥪 we have been given in the past few years that we never hear about again, or that turn out to be the reverse.

_________________________

This man, Mark Carney, is probably the most prepared, capable, and effective prime minister we have had to lead our nation and represent Canada on the world stage since Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Back then, I didn't follow politics closely, but I will always have Pierre Elliott Trudeau and, in America, John F. Kennedy in my heart,

Now, as of today, March 21, 2026, we, the people of Canada, have this man Mark Carney, dedicated to his country and its people, like we were a family, or so it feels like to me when I listen to him speak. When I watch him stand behind the lectern, he reminds me very much of my own father. A businessman, my Dad managed Pine Land Timber Co., the biggest lumber company in Canada, back in the late 50's and early 60's.

Standing behind a lectern, Carney's profile closely matches my Dad's profile. It's like seeing my Dad alive and in action again. They could be brothers if you stood them side by side. My Dad, like Mark Carney, was friendly but poker-faced, standing with a confident posture and delivering eloquent, to-the-point speeches that any layman could understand. And if Dad didn't have the answer, he would always tell his clients, "I don't have the answer for that right now, but I'll have it for you by the morning." I miss my Dad, and I pray for Mark Carney's success. It's the success of our nation doing its part in the post-Trump world.

-**🙏 ~ PRAYER ~ 🙏**-

_*Let us all take a moment to send prayers and meditation to the Higher Power of Our Understanding to protect our Prime Minister of Canada from harm, and may he be guided to be successful in his endeavors. AMEN!*_

Inside Trump’s most difficult war decision yet: whether to put boots on the ground in Iran

In near-daily briefings with top military officials at the White House, President Donald Trump has reviewed options that include sending American troops into Iran.

The decision whether to go ahead is perhaps his most difficult of the war since US strikes began February 28. For many Trump allies in Washington, the deployment of thousands of US troops to the Middle East would mean the swift end of their public support for the war— and likely threaten the administration’s ability to deliver the hundreds of billions of dollars in supplemental funding the White House will soon seek.

But for Trump, fully realizing his objectives and mitigating the war’s fallout could require sending in American troops, a legacy-defining endeavor the president — while not ruling it out — tried to downplay this week...

Alex Jones’ Infowars is shutting down, but his disinformation legacy lives on

Only after Trump leaves the stage, and the MAGA movement fades with him, will Infowars truly be gone.

When Alex Jones announced the death of his Infowars business earlier this month, you had to strain to hear him because he kept slurring his words. “We’re getting shut down,” Jones told fellow pro-Trump influencer Tim Pool on March 12. “We’ve beaten so many attacks. But now we’re shutting down in the middle of next month.”

For critics of Jones and the MAGA movement he had a hand in building, hearing him announce the end of his site might seem like cause for celebration. That would be dangerously naive. Jones’ influence is everywhere, as the U.S. finds itself roiled by the very conspiracy theories he turned into a multimillion-dollar business after starting Infowars on public access TV in 1999...

• The ranks of officials around Trump are now partially composed of Jones-influenced conspiracists, governing on baseless stories about antifa, vaccines and shadowy cabals.

• Only after Trump leaves the stage, and the MAGA movement fades with him, will Infowars truly be gone.

Europe is eyeing France's nuclear shield. Should Canada follow?

French deterrence in North America would risk inflaming tensions with Washington

A very quiet queue has formed in Europe where some of Canada's long-standing, closest allies are seeking shelter under France's small but robust nuclear umbrella.

The initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron, who declared the next 50 years to be the "era of nuclear weapons," is — on paper — intended to add another layer of deterrence to NATO's American-backed security guarantees. Once again — on paper — Russia is the adversary that needs deterring...

Cubans say every day is a struggle for survival as they face blackouts, water and fuel shortages

U.S. committing 'crime' against people of Cuba, says senior government official

Melanie Chantelle González Barrios, 15, has two young children and says she dreams that some day, when they grow older, they'll be able to leave Cuba and escape the daily fight for survival her family faces.

González Barrios lives in a one-bedroom home in Havana's Buena Vista neighbourhood with her 17-year-old husband, a daughter aged one and a half, a six-month-old son and her grandmother. The family keeps several tubs and jugs always filled with water because they never know when they'll be hit with a power blackout, which also cuts off the water...

• There have been violent flare-ups during the blackouts, including in the city of Morón, which sits about 460 kilometres west of Havana, where people earlier this month ransacked a Communist Party office
