NEWS AGGREGATOR & COMMENTS

Great Spirit bless 🙏

Well, folks, it's another grey, gloomy, cloudy [☁️] day, and this time I don't think it's gonna go away any time soon. Oh well, I got my LED sun on. When it's grey like this, I turn on every light in the place, and they're all LED lights 💡 nice and bright. I like listening to 60s, 70s, and some 80s rock on the radio 📻 in the background while working on the news 📰 "I'm happy," 😀 at least nothing to complain about except for a few aches here and there 🤕🩹 Mom used to call it Galloping Arthritis!

What is Galloping Arthritis, you ask?

Terrible disease, yeah, wait 'til your hair and teeth begin falling out, but the worst is when you get up in the morning and can't find your head 😵‍💫 I call those aches my war wounds. It's true about some of those old war wounds coming back to haunt you in later years. So aches are normal for me at my age; I had a few war wounds as well from doing dumb, dumb 🗿 things. I wouldn't want to find out whether some of that tomfoolery back then was legal or not. 😉

"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"

Condition of Forgiveness: Matthew 6:14–15 notes that if you forgive others their trespasses, God will forgive you, but if you do not, neither will He forgive yours.

_*My biggest sin was trespassing. Whenever I saw a "No Trespassing" sign, I had to find out what it was they didn't want anyone to trespass to see. Well, for me, it was Curiosity, SEEE! Curiosity also got the cat, they say, but the cat 🐱 came back. Well now, ain't that the real cats 🐈‍⬛(‿ˠ‿) 😝*_

THE CAT CAME BACK - STOMPING TOM

The mornings 🌅 are my favorite part of the day, especially when it's sunny ☀️ and I can sit out in my Green Space 🌱🌿 🍃 with my coffee ☕

I do pray that you all have a wonderful and blessed day on this Sunday, August 30, 2026

Well, that's about all I have to share with you from the Newsroom this morning, so now it's on the Discussion of the Day.

Question: Doug Ford hiring American companies to work in Ontario

AI Overview

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is facing criticism from opposition parties over past and current government contracts awarded to U.S. companies amid a trade dispute with the United States.

The Allegations

During ongoing trade tensions and U.S. tariffs under President Donald Trump, Ontario NDP Leader Marit Stiles and other opposition figures criticized Doug Ford for utilizing American companies on major provincial projects. Examples highlighted by critics include:

- CBC -

• Building new subway cars for Ontario Transit in Maryland.

• Utilizing American-owned Staples for teacher classroom supplies.

• Paying a Texas-based company for highway maintenance.

The Response

Calls to Action:

Opposition leaders have demanded that Ford recall the legislature to cancel existing government contracts with U.S. businesses, halt new AI data centre agreements benefiting American firms, and implement a strict *"Buy Ontario First" law*

- CBC -

Ford's Stance:

In response to the broader tariff conflict, Premier Ford has pushed back against U.S. trade policies, urged local boards to shift away from American businesses, expanded the $1 billion Protect Ontario Financing Program to help local companies deal with economic disruptions, and publicly sparred with President Trump.

However, opposition critics call his recent "Ontario First" rhetoric hypocritical given past procurement deals.
