OOOPS! WHAT'S UP? Maybe Ford pee pee 💦 his shorts 🩳 I guess once you're a weezel you're always a weezel, eh? 🦡

BREAKING!

From Ontario NDP

Doug Ford loves to talk about “Buying Ontario” when there’s a camera in front of his face.

He’ll pull American liquor off LCBO shelves, wrap himself in the Canadian flag and talk tough about standing up to Donald Trump.

Well, he’s lying. Straight up.

His government keeps sending Ontario taxpayer dollars to U.S. companies:

Ontario teachers’ $750 classroom supply cards can only be spent through American-owned Staples.

New subway cars for the Ontario Line are being manufactured by Hitachi Rail in Maryland.

The WSIB laid off Ontario workers and contracted work to American firm Iron Mountain.

A $140 million glass and aluminum contract at the new Peter Gilgan Mississauga Hospital went to American company Benson Global/Permasteelisa.

Ontario pays Texas-based Webber Infrastructure Management $120 million annually to maintain and patrol provincial highways.

These were choices made by Doug Ford’s government, with your tax dollars.

It’s completely unacceptable, and it makes a mockery of every Ontario worker he claims to be standing up for.

Marit Stiles has called on Doug Ford to recall the legislature, review government contracts going to U.S. businesses, cancel the ones going to American companies, and put real Buy Ontario First rules into law.

If you agree — tell Doug Ford to put his money where his mouth is:

ADD YOUR NAME: CANCEL THE U.S. CONTRACTS

If Doug Ford is actually serious about standing up for Ontario, he can start with the contracts his own government controls.

Enough with the Captain Canada façade.

Keep Ontario money in Ontario.

Ontario Health Care Report August 29, 2026

Ontario seeks to add more primary care teams to attach 600,000 people

News | Ontario | Healthcare

Source Canadian Press

Ontario will soon be putting out a call for proposals to create or expand 78 primary care teams, as it works toward a goal of attaching all Ontarians to primary care by 2029.

Health Minister Sylvia Jones announced today that 437,000 people have been connected to primary care since the government's plan launched early last year.

The next round aims to attach another 600,000 people.

Jones' commitment to ensuring everyone in Ontario has access to primary care consists of attaching two million people, but the Ontario Medical Association has said 2.5 million people do not have a family doctor.

Jones says the government is on track to reach its target.

The minister has been focusing on the expansion of interdisciplinary care, with teams that can include doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and other health professionals.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 18, 2026.

RFK Jr. and Josh Shapiro feud over measles-related deaths in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania Department of Health this week recorded its first two measles-associated deaths in 35 years, both in people who were unvaccinated. The agency declined to provide further details, saying it was protecting patient privacy.

What came next was a war of words.

Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said at a news conference Tuesday that he had spoken to US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and “made very clear that his actions and the rhetoric coming from this administration are having a negative impact on communities across America, particularly right here in Pennsylvania.”

Before becoming HHS secretary under President Trump, Kennedy was a leading voice casting doubt on the safety of vaccination. In 2021, Kennedy – then head of the anti-vaccine organization Children’s Health Defense – visited Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he made light of his own childhood case of measles and suggested that vaccines were causing autism and autoimmune diseases...

• What does ‘measles-associated’ mean?:

Trump’s wars are leaving invisible scars on our military

U.S. service personnel are suffering moral injury in large part because the White House is ignoring international law and basic military ethics.

VIDEO | Included:

When we do something (or fail to do something) that deviates from our beliefs, we often feel uncomfortable, a phenomenon psychology calls cognitive dissonance. This can result from voting for someone we don’t like, or eating that second doughnut despite our New Year’s resolution. The basic mismatch between what we value and our behavior causes unease.

When that distress stems from a clash between moral beliefs — convictions of right and wrong — and one’s own actions or those of others, the distress is called moral dissonance. It can lead to greater trauma — as the stakes rise, so does the level of psychological distress experienced due to misalignment between core moral beliefs and actions (or from betrayal of those beliefs).

And almost nowhere are the stakes higher than in war, given its inevitably deadly consequences...

• Today, U.S. service members are showing increasing signs of suffering moral injury caused by possibly illegal and unnecessary wars.:

These young men were conscripted by their radical government to serve, and surely weren’t all that different from the American submariners who killed them. Our sailors know that, and their humanity can’t help but be affected.

In Ohio, Canada-U.S. trade war sparks anger and uncertainty

Youngstown sits in congressional district that exports more than $820 million US in goods to Canada each year

The rat-a-tat-tat of a nail gun and high-pitched whine of a buzz saw echo through the two-storey home as Joe Koch’s carpentry crew completes the final touches.

Koch, the vice-president of operations for his decades-old family business, had hoped there would be three or four other new builds going up in this Ohio subdivision about now, but the U.S. trade war with Canada and many other countries has scuttled that plan.

"People are just going to not build that house this year. They're going to wait 'til interest rates lower. They're going to wait 'til the tariffs subside or the political landscape changes," Koch said...

Koch feels caught in the middle of a trade storm but he’s determined to tough it out.

Question: In a dictatorship, your living standard degenerates

ROB FROM THE POOR 🥷🧟‍♂️💵AND STUFF YOUR POCKETS 🩳AND YOUR SPECIAL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS' POCKETS👖TOO, EH!

🔹AI Overview

While it is a common belief that living standards automatically regress under a dictatorship, the reality is more nuanced: historical data show that authoritarian regimes exhibit extreme volatility, producing both severe economic collapses and periods of rapid, centralized growth.

📉 Why Living Standards Often Degrade In many dictatorships, living standards do face severe, prolonged declines due to systemic flaws inherent to unchecked power:

• Extensive Kleptocracy: Rulers often siphon national wealth into personal offshore accounts or distribute it exclusively to a small circle of loyal elites. This leaves public services like healthcare, infrastructure, and education heavily underfunded.

In Trump’s Washington, Ballooning National Debt Stirs Little Action

The relative indifference to the news that the U.S. government now owes $40 trillion demonstrates how drastically the politics of deficit spending has changed.

It used to be that a new report of budgetary red ink would touch off a political crisis in Washington. There would be speeches and news conferences and blue-ribbon commissions and legislation and brinkmanship over how to get the nation’s fiscal house in order.

But when the national debt topped $40 trillion last week — that’s trillion with a T — the collective body politic all but shrugged. Never mind that the U.S. government now owes twice as much money as a share of the economy than two decades ago. Republicans and Democrats issued perfunctory, my-we’re-concerned statements and promptly moved on.

The bond markets were not so sanguine, as a sell-off indicated, but the relative indifference in the nation’s capital demonstrated how drastically the politics of deficit spending has changed in recent years. For generations, the nation’s fiscal imbalance was a constant preoccupation of presidents and members of Congress...

During his 2016 campaign, he almost offhandedly boasted that he could eliminate not just the deficit but the entire cumulative national debt in eight years as president. Instead, the debt has doubled since

There’s a terrible irony baked into Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s latest feud. For the last several days, he’s been engaged in an angry back and forth with Gov. Josh Shapiro over the Pennsylvania Democrat’s announcement Tuesday of two measles-associated deaths in his state. According to the state’s Department of Health, neither of the two individuals were vaccinated against the disease.

• After all, here we have a man who has made a literal career out of promoting skepticism toward scientific evidence and spreading misinformation.:

Great Spirit bless 🙏

Morning, all. I do pray that everyone is well and abundantly happy on this late-August Thursday morning. Here, the sun has risen to shine upon the green canopy of trees across the driveway from our perch, a 5th-floor apartment that is on the edge of city parkland. It's much like a treehouse with the balcony all decorated with artificial plants and flowers. Age is all that's preventing me from putting out real plants.

Wildfires update just came up. Let me put it this way: it's not much better than it has been, just shifting places. It's not choosy; it'll eat whatever it can in its path. It only lives to burn and will only stop when someone pi--es 💦 on it, it rains 🌧️☔ or it runs out of something to consume 𓂏🥪🥘. There! That about sums it up. I call it the beast; they call it FIRE 🔥. It has a will of its own, like anything else in nature; it gives us life and can also take it away. We are either in harmony with it, or we're not! Simple as that. Nature gone wild, like a certain madman 😜 in Washington 🏛️? Kink Orange 💩🚼👑, maybe the Great Spirit 🌌of NATURE will be at peace soon.

More humbly today, I ask for us to take a moment to meditate and pray for the Spirit of Nature to be at peace. Take a personal inventory today and see where you are in your life and where you could best be of service to others; that is all that is required. To feel for others as though you were inside them, that's Empathy; it's what connects us all as one.

Question: Who is running the show in America? Anyone who had brains has been canned.

🔹AI Overview

The United States government is led by President Donald J. Trump, who was inaugurated for a non-consecutive second term on January 20, 2025.

Miller Center

Executive power is distributed across a few key pillars:

The Executive Branch

• The Presidency: Donald Trump holds the ultimate executive authority, serving as head of state and commander-in-chief.

• The Vice Presidency: JD Vance serves as the Vice President, supporting executive initiatives and leading the Senate as its president.

• The Cabinet: High-level policy execution is handled by Senate-confirmed department heads. Prominent leaders include Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

System of Checks and Balances

While the President leads the administration, the U.S. Constitution splits governance among three co-equal branches to prevent absolute control:

• The Executive Branch: Enforces federal laws.:

• The Legislative Branch (Congress): Compiles and passes laws and controls the federal budget.:

• The Judicial Branch (Supreme Court): Evaluates the constitutionality of laws and executive actions:

They OWN your underwear 🩲; you can only rent them from the Executive branch or buy them used. That way, they can give you a wedgie whenever they feel like it, for free.

BREAKING NEWS RECAP:

The Postal Service is an American marvel. Trump wants to destroy it.

The post office is the butt of a lot of jokes, but Americans overwhelmingly have a positive view of the USPS.

The list of federal agencies and institutions President Donald Trump has poisoned with his naked corruption and contempt for democracy is long. And now, with his most recent attempt to seize control of American elections, seemingly to prevent the electoral whupping his party appears headed for in November, we can add one of our most beloved national treasures: the United States Postal Service.

If you’ve ever been frustrated by a slow line at the post office, you might find that assertion jarring. But the USPS is indeed a treasure, at once a marvel of logistical engineering — it delivers more than 100 billion pieces of mail a year — and an embodiment of profoundly American values. And Trump is determined to ruin it.

Last week, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court used its “shadow docket” to lift a stay issued by a lower court against a recent executive order Trump signed, which Trump says is meant to curb widespread voter fraud — though his administration still hasn’t provided evidence to back that allegation — but which more likely is an attempt to attack Americans’ right to vote by mail.

It’s no exaggeration to say that the USPS is one of the central foundations of American democracy. Our first Postmaster General was Benjamin Franklin, and the country’s founders understood that a well-functioning postal service was essential to creating a unified nation.

Hundreds killed in Nepal flood as fears grow of secondary disaster

• Hundreds missing: More than 1,300 people are missing – including at least 700 foreigners from two dozen countries, including the US – after catastrophic flash flooding hit China and Nepal on Wednesday. The death toll in Nepal has climbed to more than 350 people as search and rescue operations are hampered by a lack of connectivity, power and resources.

Why Some in Canada Want Out of the F-35 Deal With the U.S.

A year into a government review of the purchase of as many as 88 F-35s, one premier says buying American warplanes makes no sense in the face of President Trump’s latest tariffs

The premier of British Columbia has an additional suggestion for Canada’s prime minister, Mark Carney, in dealing with U.S. tariffs: stop plans to buy as many as 88 American-made F-35 fighter jets.

Not long after Canada said that it would retaliate against President Trump’s sweeping 50 percent tariff on hundreds of Canadian exports with tariffs of its own, Premier David Eby questioned why Canada would pursue supplying its military with the warplanes.

“When your friend kicks you in the back, one of the first rules is you don’t then go and buy $12 billion of fighter jets from that person,” Mr. Eby said on Tuesday, citing roughly the cost of the first 16 airplanes. “It makes absolutely no sense,” he added.

Anger toward the United States has grown among Canadians in the 18 months since Mr. Trump launched a trade war...

He described the Gripen as “simpler, cheaper and more operationally consistent” and better suited to patrol and perform defense missions in Canada and the Arctic.

Dominic LeBlanc says 'U.S. clarifications on their other positions' would keep prospect of deal alive

Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc says the federal government "welcomes" the United States "withdrawing" its positions on the French language and culture after U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CBC News Canada's streaming laws are not a "red line" for the American side.

"Canada welcomes that the U.S. is now withdrawing its positions on discoverability and labelling and is confirming that measures to promote French language and Canadian culture will not be subject to future U.S. trade actions," LeBlanc said in a statement posted on X.

"We look forward to further constructive U.S. clarifications on their other positions which would create the possibility of a mutually beneficial trade agreement that respects Canadian sovereignty."

Does America Want Nazism?

🔹AI Overview

No, the United States as a whole does not want Nazism, and the vast majority of Americans reject its core tenets of racial supremacy, dictatorship, and the destruction of democracy.

🔹AI Overview

Critics and political opponents did try to raise awareness and counter Project 2025, but stopping an outside think tank's policy blueprint posed unique political and structural challenges.

Why It Was Hard to "Stop" a Policy Blueprint

Not an Official Bill or Law: Project 2025 was a 900-page transitional policy guide and wish list created by the Heritage Foundation, an independent conservative organization—not an official piece of legislation voted on in Congress. Because it was not a bill, opponents could not vote it down, veto it, or block it through traditional legislative procedures.

The 19th News

• The DeniabilityShield: Although many contributors had ties to the former administration, Donald Trump and his campaign formally disavowed the project, claiming no official connection. This allowed proponents to distance themselves from the document's more toxic or unpopular provisions whenever critics attacked specific proposals.

Key Architects in Power: Key contributors and authors of the 900-page blueprint—such as Russell Vought—have taken influential roles within the administration, actively driving its policies.Policy Alignment: Despite earlier campaign-season attempts to distance the White House from the blueprint, numerous executive orders and agency overhauls mirror Project 2025's precise roadmap

I already looked it up; there isn't one thing in Project 25 that benefits the average American wage earner, unless reducing them to living in tents, and maybe, if lucky, to be placed in a labor camp. WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE IN AMERICA, "THE LIFE OF RILEY, EH?"

One service member is concerned the military blew up bridges in Iran that were not military targets. Another thinks Pentagon leaders are not doing enough to prevent civilian deaths during airstrikes inside Iran.

Canada’s resistance to Trump’s trade demands offers Europe a blueprint. Will the EU take it?

Carney walked away from U.S. trade negotiations last week

When European Union head Ursula von der Leyen sat alongside Donald Trump at his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland last year, she promised Europeans that accepting a blanket 15 per cent U.S. tariff on EU exports would buy the continent "predictability and stability."

Some critics now see the trade deal as a one-sided capitulation that instead paved the way for an ongoing cycle of American economic coercion.

First came U.S. efforts to reclassify certain European industrial goods to impose higher tariffs. Now, a fresh battle has emerged over European efforts to levy a digital services tax on U.S. tech giants — a dispute that echoes Washington's recent attempts to dictate tax terms to Ottawa.

No sooner was the Turnberry deal ratified by the European Parliament than Trump was on Truth Social, threatening to override the entire accord by slapping 100 per cent tariffs on any European nation that implements or expands tech taxes.

As European resistance to Trump’s demands stiffens, some lawmakers are looking at Mark Carney’s dramatic exit from the U.S. trade table not as a reckless gamble but as a lesson in how to stand up to a bully...

• Tepid trade deal:
