TODAY'S DISCUSSION:

21 Century - CREEPOLOGY!

There is so much poison spreading out from south of our border to other countries all around the world. It would seem all are infected by the same virus 🐛 If the virus is inhaled, it will incubate into a worm 🪱that slowly eats all of the cerebral cortex in the grey matter of your brain. Then it will go after what's left of any senses or feelings you have as they evolve into flesh-eating matter 👺 that turns everything on the surface of the Earth it eats into orange🟠gooey blobs .🫟 .. etc.*_

So now we have a world full of 🟠 orange gooey blobs.🫟 Instead of the diarrhea 💩 like we have today. Thieves and Pirates like Doug Ford and Danielle Smith with her provincial separatism and two-tiered health care insurance scheme.

Yeah, only the rich can get serious medical care, and the rest of us can go to the drugstore and buy Band-Aids 🩹 or wait maybe months to see a medical nurse in a parking lot First Aid Trailer 🚑 if you're lucky. Or steal the bandages! and get arrested by a regular cop and get stuffed into a regular jail.

In the US, you're probably better off in a regular jail for petty theft than in one of those Trumpo The Typo's POW camps. OH! They can get the operations in the US, alright, if they are ready to sell the farm, the car, the tractor, Betty Lou, their favorite cow, the dog, the cat, your oldest child, so saith Kink Orange F-face of Lower Sloboviamerica. DO YOU WANT THE SAME 💩 MEDICINE IN CANADA?

I DECREE! The US, from here on in, will be known as:

LOWER SLOBOVIAMERICA

✨🟰 💥🧱✸˚•*=--. . ᝰ American flag hitting wall.

Decreed by The Fairy Lady @ Lake Ontario.

*TRUMPO THE TYPO, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN CHANGE THE NAME ON A MAP, I CAN ALSO INVENT A NEW ONE. SO THERE YOU GO, "NYAH! Nose Picker!" 👃☝️-- 👅

Maybe even Google Maps may like my new name for America.

BREAKING, just now fresh off the press!

Ottawa set to extend the pause on federal fuel excise tax: source

VIDEO | Included:

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne is expected to announce Wednesday that the current pause on the federal excise tax on gasoline and diesel will be extended until at least next year, a senior government source told Global News. The federal excise tax on gasoline was 10 cents a litre and the tax on diesel was four cents a litre but those taxes were suspended in April. The suspension was to have ended on Sept. 8.

"Now, with fuel prices pushing higher because of renewed hostilities in the Iran war, the government will extend that suspension...

Well, at least that is a good start, but I believe that if the prices get so high that the wheels of industry will begin to shut down, NOT BECAUSE OF LACK OF FUEL, but for oil companies refusing to lower the prices for the working class of Canadians to afford to get to their jobs and keep the wheels of industry moving. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? To all leaders of the provinces of CANADA: DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT? How long do you think you can survive without the working class? Wait until next spring, there will be a good example of what happens in a country without empathy.

Lower prices for the citizens of OUR COUNTRY 🍁 Charge the same SET price internationally for exports to our allied countries. That is what all other countries are seeking, SOME SANITY IN THE SYSTEM, HARD TO DO IF THEY KEEP CHEATING AND MOVING THE GOAL POST! YOU CAN'T DEAL WITH A DEN OF THIEVES AND PIRATES 🧌🥷▄︻ 💥•⚔️🏴‍☠️

Just what would it take to change the prices of fuel, and whose neck do we wrap our hands around 🫶😵

Question: Why not lower fuel prices for the working class of Canada?

🔹AI Overview

The federal government has limited direct control over retail fuel prices and faces policy debates over whether broad tax cuts effectively help low-income earners.

Current Actions and Limits

• Temporary Tax Pause: The federal government suspended the federal fuel excise tax (saving 10 cents per liter on gasoline and 4 cents on diesel) from April 20, 2026, through September 7, 2026.

• Jurisdiction: Under the Canadian Constitution, direct regulation of retail fuel prices belongs to provincial and territorial governments, not Ottawa. Most provinces let market forces set prices rather than capping them.

Why Broad Fuel Cuts Are Debated

• Distribution of Benefits: Economists note that broad fuel tax cuts often give more overall savings to wealthier drivers who travel longer distances or own larger vehicles, rather than lower-income workers who might use public transit.

Global Market Pressures:

• Public Debate: Opinions on platforms like Reddit r/CanadaPolitics are mixed; some argue tax relief is essential for rural and working-class commuters facing high living costs, while critics favor targeted income supports over broad fuel subsidies.

Question: Would Canada allow the lights to go out in industry because its citizens can't afford the fuel?

🔹AI Overview

Canada does not plan to let industrial operations shut down due to fuel affordability, as the country is a major global energy producer with a largely stable power grid.

• Energy Supply: Canada produces large amounts of oil, natural gas, and clean electricity.

• The existing electricity grid: is mostly reliable and clean.

• Domestic production: helps protect the country from absolute physical shortages seen in some other nations.

Affordability and Cost Pressures

Global market shifts raise prices for gasoline, diesel, and home heating fuels. Higher fuel costs create financial strain for households and add surcharges to transport and manufacturing. These rising costs cause an economic affordability crisis rather than a physical collapse of industrial power

Future Grid Challenges

• Experts warn that growing demand and flat investment could create electricity constraints in the future.

• Government and industry groups are working to expand clean electricity infrastructure to keep power affordable and available.

Hegseth’s culture war fixation disrupting Army progress, sources say

In the aftermath of the resignation of Army Secretary Dan Driscoll, multiple sources told CNN they believe Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is damaging the Army’s efforts to adapt to the modern battlefield as he focuses on culture wars and prioritizing his own image of the “American warfighter,” and pushes out leaders who don’t align with his vision.

In submitting his resignation, a source familiar said Driscoll brought up “concerns with the administration surrounding Army transformation and readiness and Hegseth’s blocking those efforts specifically by firing the generals who were responsible.”

Driscoll announced Tuesday evening that Wednesday would be his “last full day in the role.” Multiple sources agreed with the concerns Driscoll raised: ...

Focus on ‘restoring the warrior ethos’:
Driscoll and Hegseth hadn’t spoken ‘for some time’:

A Pentagon official previously told CNN that Hegseth “has this deep-seeded distrust of the Army,” and was suspicious of Driscoll “from the very beginning.

The biggest problem with the GOP’s Supreme Court seat amendment

There’s no way to call for amending the Constitution to lock in nine justices without admitting that Congress can now make the court whatever size it wants.

VIDEO | Included:

The House is in session this week before darting off again on another recess. The week’s marquee vote was a short-term resolution to avert a government shutdown ahead of the midterm elections. But alongside that bill on Tuesday’s schedule was a rarity: a proposed amendment to the Constitution up for a vote in the full House.

The proposed amendment is simple: ‘The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine justices consisting of one chief justice and eight associate justices.’’ The GOP leadership is likely putting this proposed amendment forward to demonize Democrats as being in favor of “court packing.” Whether the bill’s sponsors realize it or not, though, its very existence concedes something vital: ...

Its very existence concedes something vital: The choice of how many seats are on the Supreme Court is entirely up to Congress.:
The momentum among Democrats for expanding the Supreme Court has only grown since the issue first resurged in 2021.:
