So I guess this is how Trump is going to get his Peace Prize? www.reuters.com/sports/socce...

Raiffeisen International schaffte kurz vor Kriegsbeginn Milliarden nach Russland Kurz vor Beginn des Ukrainekriegs transportierte die RBI tonnenweise Bargeld nach Russland. Einige Lieferungen erreichten Moskau mutmaßlich noch am Tag der Invasion

Some months ago, @iamgmcnaughton.bsky.social, Brian Fitzpatrick @occrp.org and I uncovered how Raiffeisen sent billions in cash to Russia on the eve of the Ukraine invasion www.derstandard.de/story/300000...

Exclusive: Austria's Raiffeisen fails in new effort to sell stake in Russia, sources say Raiffeisen Bank International has failed in another attempt to sell a stake in its Russian business, two people familiar with the situation said, as Russia seeks to maintain a key financial bridge to the West.

BREAKING: Jobs minister orders Air Canada flight attendants back to work Federal Jobs Minister Patty Hajdu has ordered binding arbitration in the Air Canada flight attendant strike.

The other day, Air Canada said it would take a week to get their operations back up and running again if the strike went ahead.

Curious to see how quickly they'll actually have their planes back in the air.

He's also not on the Epstein list, but I figured that was a given.

Trump, 79, Sparks Dementia Concerns With Weird Cold War Comment The president’s brain seems to be stuck in the 1980s.

My dad, who's the same age as Trump, also sometimes uses outdated place names (ie. still saying Czechoslovakia, despite the breakup happening 30 years ago).

There is one major difference between the two though...

MY DAD DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS TO NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson said Democrats would impeach Trump a third time with majority Republican U.S. Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana said Democrats would make Trump's life 'miserable' if they flipped the House in mid-term elections.

Ah yes, because the two previous impeachments really hurt Trump's political career... www.usatoday.com/story/news/2...

After Trans People, Trump Now Erasing Bisexual People From Stonewall National Monument The "History and Culture" page no longer includes bisexual rights.

1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create.

Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people.

No marginalized group will be safe from the admin's moving targets.

Western Banks Sent Billions in Cash to Russia on Eve of Ukraine Invasion, Data Shows Some shipments of cash arrived on the day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, just weeks before a currency export ban was imposed.

SCOOP: Two global banks shipped billions in foreign currencies to Russia just before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, trade data shows.

This should have raised red flags, political science professor @szakonyi.bsky.social told OCCRP and @papertrailmedia.de

Western Banks Sent Billions in Cash to Russia on Eve of Ukraine Invasion, Data Shows Some shipments of cash arrived on the day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, just weeks before a currency export ban was imposed.

Data shows that between Jan. 11 and Feb. 25 (the day after the invasion began), 272 shipments from Austria's Raiffeisen, Bank of America and Brink's landed in Moscow.

This was at a time when Russia's plans to invade Ukraine were hardly a secret.

Western Banks Sent Billions in Cash to Russia on Eve of Ukraine Invasion, Data Shows Some shipments of cash arrived on the day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, just weeks before a currency export ban was imposed.

In the weeks leading up to its invasion of Ukraine in 2022, more than $12B in cash was sent by foreign banks to Russia.

Shipments came from America, Austria, Switzerland, UK and Hong Kong.

Nothing says government efficiency like dropping who knows how much on studying something that's already been conclusively debunked.

Annoying and pissing Canadians off once a month with this BS — is this Trump's plan to wear us down and accept becoming the 51st state?

Art of the Deal, indeed.

Usually when you try to reproduce a historical model, you should see how the whole thing played out.

Also, and this may be a real hot take, the world of 2025 is significantly different than it was in 1890.

Oh fun... Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health has just announced there's a confirmed case of #measles in the area.

This disease can be fatal or lead to serious complications — so if you haven't already, please get vaccinated.

Nothing says government efficiency like flying a bunch of planes that cost about $24k per hour each to operate.

Trump promises 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum imports — including from Canada | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump said he will announce on Monday that the United States will impose 25 per cent tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports, including from Canada and Mexico, as well as other...

Shocker, the 30-day pause was BS.

Donald Trump’s tariffs on imports from Canada will begin Saturday, White House says U.S. President Donald Trump will act on his threat to levy 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican products, says White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

Or maybe he really is that dumb

Exclusive: Trump set to impose tariffs on Mexico, Canada starting on March 1, sources say U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to announce new tariffs against Canada and Mexico that will begin on March 1, but will include a process for the countries to seek specific exemptions for certain imports, three people familiar with the planning told Reuters.

Did someone finally get through to Trump to let him know his idea of blanket tariffs would crash the U.S. economy?

It isn't like the shortage of family doctors in Ontario is a new problem — it's frustrating that there only seems to be movement from the provincial government now that an election is nigh.

Did Trump's executive order just make everyone in the U.S. female? All Americans are now AFBT (assigned female by Trump).
