Huh? Citizens being robbed by the wealthy is literally America (and much of the Western world) for the past 30 years. People have been sitting still since Reagan, Thatcher and all that generation decided to worship the market.

One of the advantages of Hanwha Korea is they can build like ten ships at once at their shipyard. All at various stages. Mass production to take advantage of economy of scale. I don't believe their US operation has space to do anything near that. A Canadian shipyard to make sense would also need...

Haha, been so long since I saw this. I forgot how pissed he looked. That being said, for all the people laughing at him, he surely has had a pretty definitive last laugh (for now, I hope).

Not sure. They are still reporting it as of 3 hours ago https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c98qpz144nvo The Guardian has some more information: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2026/mar/03/minab-school-bombing-how-the-worst-mass-casualty-event-of-the-iran-war-unfolded-a-visual-guide

I hope many are Americans! The guy is insufferable.

I agree with you, for the most part, but it is a difficult situation when the military's boss says or has said or wrote stuff like this: It is stuff like that, from Secretary Hegseth, that makes people concerned. The man is deranged.

BBC yesterday was reporting the school is about 600m from the base, so right next door not exactly but certainly close. It is important because the language being used in reporting (right next door) attaches a context to the incident that can be used to deflect blame for errors. This doesn't...

RBC will be at this corner.

Yeah, but this is sort of nonsense because if the penny did drop after Crimea, the majority of the world did not notice. That is why 2025 was so shocking for many US Allies.

That is pretty callous. It is $8m in funding for food aid and UNICEF. The point is so people don't starve, as Cuba imports the vast majority of its food.

36 states already have voter ID requirements. The rest, including DC, have others processes where the State is verifying the voter's citizenship to put them on the rolls prior to arrival at polling stations.

Yeah, but the bar is even higher than majority. Veto override requires 2/3 vote in both chambers.

Also, once cost of construction is paid by tolls, all future toll revenue is shared 50/50 between Michigan and Canada. The whole purpose of this bridge was basically a way to tell the Moroun family to fuck off.

It makes sense that a lot of CBP or ICE veterans would have Hispanic backgrounds, as speaking Spanish would be a huge advantage on the job.

Big announcement of a huge alumina deposit in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatoon/thor-project-alumina-viability-9.7068026 If verified, this is kind of project that the Federal government needs to invest in. Huge potential for future of export trade growth to Europe.
