Good morning! I pray that you be well, at peace, provided for, & blessed🙏🌅

Well, it is bright and sunny, ☀️ but with a cool breeze,🌬 I needed my coat to be comfortable enough to sit in my green space this morning. But it was nice to watch the sun rise over the trees, and the chilly air didn't stop the spring birds from singing their tunes in the trees across the way. It certainly appears like this is going to be one of those coat summers. 🧥🍃Bummer, eh!☹️

The Niagara Peninsula generally experiences a warmer climate than the rest of Ontario, particularly compared to the northern parts of the province. This is due to its location on the shores of Lake Ontario, as well as the influence of the Niagara Escarpment.

The escarpment helps to moderate temperatures.

Well, at least here at the Niagara Escarpment, there is a warmer climate. We seem to avoid the worst of the nastiest winter weather all around us: I would sooner see the wet stuff than snowflakes, you don't have to shovel the wet stuff and you don't need to wear a fat coat where your feel like that Soviet cosmonaut back in '67 whose spacesuit nearly blew up.🧑‍🚀Especially trying to get behind the steering wheel, "hey Ma, hand me the shoe horn please!" 👠🪃

Well, that's about the only hot air I can find to air out for the moment. At the time, it appears I am the only one in the room who is mainly blowing around the hot air. Certainly not the heater,♨️ my fingers are turning blue.🪬Well, that's about it from the _*Newsroom,📰 now it's time for the discussion of the day.🙇‍♀️

Population Control

- Google Search -

Population control refers to the practice of managing population size, often with the goal of limiting growth and ensuring sustainability. This can involve various approaches, including birth control, family planning, and other methods to influence population dynamics.

- Google Search -

War, while not intentionally designed as a population control method, can significantly impact population size through increased mortality and displacement. War can lead to high death rates due to direct combat, disease outbreaks, and famine caused by war-related disruption of food supply. Additionally, displacement of populations due to war can have long-term consequences for resource availability and overall population dynamics.

I wonder, since today's society doesn't seem to hold human life anymore sacred than an overpopulated bunch of cockroaches, is that what all human lives have become worth nowadays, no more than a bunch of cockroaches?

Everyone is out for themselves, paranoid schizophrenic, selfish, greedy, aggressive, filled with hate in the pit of darkness. Does it have to be that way?

Do we have to listen to the conspiracy theorists, the killjoys? The wars, while not intentionally designed as a population control method, can significantly impact population size through increased mortality and displacement.

BREAKING NEWS:

Trump made historic gains with minority voters in 2024. They are already pulling back in 2025

Several of the key voter groups that provided President Donald Trump's most important electoral gains in November are recoiling from him as his term moves past the 100-day mark. But it remains unclear how much Democrats can benefit from these growing doubts.

In 2024, Trump improved his performance among some big voting blocs that have historically favored Democrats, including Latinos, younger men, non-White voters without a college degree, and, to some extent, Black men. Trump's advances generated exuberant predictions from an array of right-leaning analysts that he had achieved a lasting realignment and cemented the GOP's hold on voters of all races without a college degree.

But the flurry of polls 100 days into Trump’s second term suggests that cement has not hardened as much as some allies anticipated. Across multiple surveys, Trump’s overall job approval rating has fallen below his 2024 vote share with these key groups, and they are consistently giving him even lower marks for his handling of the economy, particularly inflation.

Another equipment outage impacts flights at Newark Liberty International Airport

Washington -

Operations have returned to normal after another air traffic control equipment outage caused the Federal Aviation Administration to implement a ground stop for Newark Liberty International Airport-bound flights Sunday morning.

“There was a telecommunications issue at Philadelphia TRACON Area C, which guides aircraft in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport airspace,” the FAA said in a statement. “The FAA briefly slowed aircraft in and out of the airport while we ensured redundancies were working as designed.”

The ground stop, which means flights heading to Newark could not take off, lasted about 45 minutes, according to FAA air traffic advisories.

Good morning! I pray that you be well, at peace, provided for, & blessed🙏🌅

I was up at the usual time this morning.🌄 At this time of year, I'm up with the sun. Back when I was younger, when I had time off, I used to think getting up early was literally for the birds. And especially during the winter, you had to be COO COO!🦜 to get up from under the warm blankets early to go out in the cold.

Now I enjoy getting up at sunrise and listening to the birds,🐦 or in the winter, it's just pleasant to get up and see the brilliant sun streaming in through the windows, especially from my green space outside the sliding glass doors when I sit at the dining table, it makes it feel balmy all year around—bringing the French Riviera to our balcony, or wherever tropical places your imaginations you wish to be.

It is supposed to be partly sunny🌥 and around 70°F today, but it doesn't seem like that at this time. When I went out a while ago, it was definitely coat time, and the clouds were moving from the northeast. The Scrotum (sagging jetstream)🌬🐧 effect is still with us.🥺 I pray that it gets pleasant enough to just sit out there in the sun, without a coat,🧥 at least for a while.🙏

🙏👼 Let us also pray today, Great Spirit, G-d,😶‍🌫️ to protect, help, and guide our brothers and sisters🫂👨‍👨‍👧‍👦 south of the border, the victims of The Orange Jabba the Hutt, Kink of Bizarromarica, and his Gestapo.🥷

Inside Trump’s negotiating strategy with China

Switzerland's President Karin Keller-Sutter, US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Switzerland's Economy Minister Federal Councillor Guy

Parmelin, in Geneva, Switzerland.

A few hours after President Donald Trump’s trade negotiating team boarded a flight for the most important economic meetings in the world, their boss took to social media to publicly throw a curveball into the negotiations.

That was the point – not necessarily the path.

Trump’s decision to float the possibility of cutting his 145% tariffs on China to 80% gave the impression that Trump was negotiating with himself before the discussions started. But the substance of the message, was not a surprise to his top negotiators, who have discussed the possibility of lowering America’s tariff on China in internal discussions ahead of the US-China talks in Geneva, Switzerland.

European leaders visit Kyiv, and tell Russia: 30-day ceasefire now or face massive sanctions

The leaders of Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Poland have told Russian leader Vladimir Putin to agree to a 30-day ceasefire starting on Monday or face possible “massive” sanctions, according to French President Emmanuel Macron, on a highly symbolic visit to Kyiv. The demand comes with the backing of the White House after a joint phone call with President Donald Trump, the Europeans said.

Standing alongside Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, the four leaders - Macron, new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and his Polish counterpart Donald Tusk – said the ceasefire should be observed on land, at sea, and in the air.

If successful, Macron said, it could pave the way for “the immediate launch of negotiations to build a robust and lasting peace.”

Can machine-grown lettuce help cut Canada's reliance on U.S. greens? This farmer is betting on it

In 2024, 92 per cent of Canadian lettuce was imported from the U.S. A third-generation farmer and the owner of Haven Greens, a new automated greenhouse in King City, Ont.

As Canada's reliance on U.S. produce hits the spotlight, one Ontario farmer has a pitch: locally grown, year-round produce, grown by artificial intelligence and automation.

In a sprawling two-hectare greenhouse, tucked inside a wooden red barn in King City, Ont., an animated Jay Willmot, farmer and entrepreneur, shared his vision.

"From sowing and seeding, all the way through to harvest and packing, no one touches this crop," he said in front of rows and rows of lettuce shoots.

Lettuce close to home:

Even without AI, a traditional greenhouse, or a vertical farm, would have addressed the issue of year-round growth. It's a route many are choosing to take; Canadian greenhouse lettuce production alone has quadrupled over the last decade, according to Statistics Canada.

Rideau Hall announced Friday that Carney and his cabinet will be sworn in Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. in Ottawa by Gov. Gen. Mary Simon.

Three Liberal sources tell CBC News that one of the options Carney's considering is selecting a core group of senior ministers and a secondary group of ministers of state.

Good morning! I pray that you all be well, at peace, provided for, and blessed🙏🌅

Well, what do you know? It's a sunny☀️ morning with normal seasonal temperatures out there. I do pray that the great scrotum-sagging, (jetstream-sagging) time is over. "Someone hand me a couple of tent poles, please!"⛺️ Looking so forward to going out in my green space and listening to the lazy hum and buzz of insects, crickets, grasshoppers, katydids, and the May Flies, which should be out as soon as it's warm at night. Then you get the moths and other night-flying insects, and so on.🦋🦗🐝🐞🐜

Many times through the winter months, especially on cloudy days, lots of those this year, I turn all the LED lights in the house on for a semblance of bright sun, and I now and again visit YouTube nature videos to break the monotony. That is also the reason I greened up the balcony with artificial plants.

I can look out from the kitchen table through the sliding glass doors on a bright sunny day, and it looks inviting, like a penthouse terrace somewhere in the Mediterranean. Won't be going south of the border for a while. Peaceful and safe places in the tropics seem to be getting scarcer these days. So I brought the tropics to us.

In the summer, I get the bonus of a green background of trees across the driveway. Thus, The Tree House,🌞 like I said yesterday. Back in the day, we used to shoot off our mouths🫦 and tend to our beeswax, but now they shoot off their guns and dynamite💣 at everyone else's beeswax. 😢 DO YOU KNOW HOW SILLY THAT LOOKS?

Trump said China must import more US goods, and in return, he believes the United States should lower its 145% tariff on most Chinese goods to 80%.

“CHINA SHOULD OPEN UP ITS MARKET TO USA — WOULD BE SO GOOD FOR THEM!!! CLOSED MARKETS DON’T WORK ANYMORE!!!,” Trump posted.

Internal FAA report downplayed risks of data outage affecting Newark air traffic controllers

Planes are parked at Newark Liberty International Airport on Tuesday, as flight delays and cancellations continued at the airport.

Before the FAA moved air traffic controllers who oversee the Newark Liberty International Airport airspace to a new site in Philadelphia last year, the agency’s experts concluded the odds of a dangerous communications breakdown were extremely unlikely: 1 in 11 million, according to an internal report obtained by CNN.

In reality, the safety concerns officials downplayed appear to have occurred multiple times since the new system went into place last summer, according to multiple controllers.

Data outages – including a failure of about 90 seconds of radar and radio service last week – have repeatedly left controllers without the ability to see the locations of planes they were tracking. The problems led to several controllers taking trauma leave from work and sparked the massive flight delays and cancellations roiled Newark over the last week.

With measles outbreaks growing in Canada, this mother pleads with parents to vaccinate

Measles outbreaks are growing in Ontario, Alberta, and cases rising in Saskatchewan

Rebecca Archer lovingly places a pair of small glasses on a shelf filled with memorabilia like trinkets and photos. They belonged to her 10-year-old daughter, Renae, who suddenly died after a measles infection.

"She was just really intelligent. Just a really happy child, always smiling," she remembers.

Renae was just five months old when she got the measles – too young to be vaccinated, but unable to avoid being exposed during an outbreak in Manchester, England, in 2013.

Oil prices are down. It means something different in Canada vs. the U.S

Lower prices due to market concerns of low demand and high supply Pumpjacks draw out oil and gas from well heads near Calgary in April 2023. Canada has the third-largest oil reserves in the world and is the world's fourth-largest oil producer.

A steep drop in oil prices in the first months of the year has undermined any plans for oil companies to "drill, baby drill."

But reaction to the plunging price of crude has played out differently in Canada versus the U.S, with companies south of the border eyeing production cuts while the Canadian sector holds steady.

Since the beginning of the year, the benchmark price of a barrel of oil has tumbled from a high of $80 US a barrel to around $60 US this week.
