Migrants placed on a deportation flight originally bound for South Sudan

where the men and their guards are contending with baking hot temperatures, smoke from nearby burn pits and the looming threat of rocket attacks,
the Trump administration said.

Migrants and ICE officers contend with heat, smog and illness after detoured South Sudan flight
The Trump administration said the converted conference room in the shipping container is the only viable place to house the men on the base in Djibouti.

Good Morning #Canada
OTD in 1866, the Fenian Brotherhood crossed the Niagara River to invade Canada. This group was an Irish American organization that was dedicated to freeing Ireland from British rule, and they believed that if they captured Canada, they could use it as a bargaining tool. We could have become a nation of red-headed brawlers who were terrible hockey players.

Put away pipelines, go with grids!
By David Suzuki with contributions from Senior Editor and Writer Ian Hanington
It’s good to see ideas such as increasing self-sufficiency and diversifying trade partners emerging in response to U.S. attacks on Canada’s economy and threats to our sovereignty. As usual, though, the fossil fuel industry and its supporters are taking advantage of this “crisis” to push for more oil and gas infrastructure, particularly pipelines.

Put away pipelines, go with grids!
A true nation-building project would be to create a renewable-powered integrated electricity grid throughout the country.

Stablecoins represent a critical bridge between cryptocurrency and traditional finance, with Tether (USDT) dominating the sector as the largest stablecoin by market capitalization. By Q1 2025, Tether directly held approximately $98.5 billion in U.S. Treasury bills, representing 1.6% of all outstanding Treasury bills, making it one of the largest non-sovereign buyers in this crucial asset class, on par with nation-state-level investors.

Ironically, a real "nation building" project that would be a huge benefit to Canadians would be more akin to something from the 19th century: Standing up a true public railway corporation and rebuilding a high speed electrified rail network from sea to sea to sea that could reduce transportation costs and increase flexibility and convenience for millions of Canadians and businesses including in remote communities.
But our current leadership is too beholden to existing capitalist interests and status quo business to be that bold. And they're positively allergic to anything done purely in the public interest. How dare we not include some profiteering private corporation… /sarc
