Great Spirit bless 🙏

Good mornink, everyvun! says Colonel Klenk! 🫡 Well, at least one cheery thing is going on today. We are expecting some seasonal temperatures today. It should be in the seventies or high sixties, but the thermometer needle is stuck in the fifties. It's another wimpy spring; that garbage weather has been cutting more into a lot of our summers the last couple of years. Not good for farmers, shorter growing season. Too much cloudy, wet weather,

"IT'S TURNING INTO MAINLAND B.C. over here!" In B.C., all the clouds moving eastward from the Pacific Ocean would bounce back off the mountains year-round; they don't move East or West, just sit there like a pile of horse 🐎💩 in the mountains, BORING! I think even London, England, gets more sunny 🌞 weather than Vancouver does. I guess I'm just going to have to adapt to bright artificial light, LED lights everywhere in the house, which helps.

Question: LAND DEAL FORD SCREWED UP A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, RCMP STILL INVESTIGATING?

🔹AI Overview

As of May 2026, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigation into the Ontario government's 2022 Greenbelt land swap, which aimed to remove 7,400 acres of protected land for housing development, is still ongoing.

• Here are the key details regarding the status of the investigation as of early 2026:Investigation Active for 30+ Months:

The investigation, handled by the RCMP's Sensitive and International Investigations Unit, was formally launched on October 10, 2023, following a referral from the Ontario Provincial Police.

• "Thorough" Investigation Status:

The RCMP has stated the investigation remains ongoing, emphasizing a need for confidentiality to ensure its integrity.

• Witness Interviews: Reports from late 2025 indicated that at least two dozen people had been interviewed by the RCMP, though key former ministers and top staff had not been interviewed as of that time.
• Ford's Role: As of April 2026, reports indicate that Premier Doug Ford has not been questioned by investigators, despite his government's pledge to cooperate.
• Context: The investigation stems from 2023 Auditor General and Integrity Commissioner reports that found the land removal process was flawed and favored specific developers, who stood to gain over $8 billion. The decision was reversed in late 2023.

• Continued Pressure: Opposition leaders have continued to pressure the government regarding the slow pace of the investigation and the lack of charges, prompting calls for a review of the investigation's handling.

Now we have another Kink, the Kink of Canada Ford, the Pirate at the helm. Let us shake this skunk around the internet for a while, maybe another demonstration, eh!

Unsettled Kremlin tightens security around Putin amid assassinations and coup fears, intel report says

The Kremlin has dramatically increased the personal security around President Vladimir Putin, installing surveillance systems in the homes of close staffers as part of new measures prompted by a wave of assassinations of top Russian military figures and fears of a coup, according to a report from a European intelligence agency obtained by CNN.

Cooks, bodyguards and photographers who work with the president are also banned from traveling on public transport, the dossier says. Visitors to the Kremlin chief must be screened twice, and those working close to him can only use phones without internet access, it adds.

Some of the measures were put in place in recent months in the wake of the killing of a top general in December, which sparked a dispute in the top ranks of Russia’s security establishment, the report says. They suggest mounting unease within the Kremlin as it faces growing problems at home and abroad, including economic woes, increasing signs of dissent and setbacks on the battlefield in Ukraine. Russian security officials have drastically reduced the number of locations that Putin regularly visits, the report says...

Question: Ottawa unveils $1.5-billion in aid to industries hurt by U.S. tariffs

Government of Canada announces a new $1 billion Business Development Bank of Canada program and $500 million in additional funding for the Regional Tariff Response Initiative, delivered by the regional development agencies**

News Release

The government will continue to protect and strengthen the sectors most affected by U.S. tariffs

May 4, 2026 – *Ottawa, Ontario*

Today, the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, and the Honourable Evan Solomon, Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovation and Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario, announced $1.5 billion in aid to industries hurt by U.S. tariffs

Loans on ‘favourable terms’ will be extended to sectors that manufacture and export products containing steel, aluminum or copper to support several of Canada’s tariffed industries.

This includes the creation of a new $1 billion Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) program that will strengthen Canada’s economic resilience. The program will be available to industries that manufacture and export products containing steel, aluminum or copper. It will support firms that use these metals in a significant way in their production and that have been impacted by the tariffs. As a result of the United States’ April 6, 2026, adjustment to its tariffs on products containing steel, aluminum and copper, the Government of Canada is working with urgency to transform our strategic industries so they can adapt, compete, and win in this new global environment.

The BDC program will provide financing at favourable terms to enable businesses to address immediate pressures. The program will also offer the industry a new tool to transform and adapt to future market conditions. The government expects Canada’s financial institutions to continue to work with the businesses as we lean in collectively to support this sector. This new program aligns with the government’s priority to provide rapid liquidity to viable businesses facing significant economic challenges as a result of U.S. steel, aluminum and copper tariffs.

In addition, the government is providing an additional $500 million through the Regional Tariff Response Initiative (RTRI) to support tariff-impacted businesses in all sectors of our economy. This funding, delivered by Canada’s regional development agencies (RDA), will help ensure that SMEs have access to the financing they need to enable strategic pivots through investments in market diversification and enhanced productivity that strengthen their competitiveness.

The government will also continue to support other critical tariff-impacted industries that are key pillars of Canada’s economy, such as the softwood lumber and forestry sector.

Combined, these measures will further bolster the government’s strong response to these unfair and unjustified tariffs, which to date includes:..
