Families feel the pinch as Kingston daycare raises daily rates
A daycare in Kingston, N.S., is expected to raise its fees this spring, despite the province's goal to lower rates to an average of $10 per day. But the organization that owns the centre says it needs to increase parent fees to keep up with operating costs.

C’est exactement la même chose chez nous en Suisse…

Pour une Suisse sans armée !

How is it that smart people can believe in a liar ?

“Past crises also saw wild swings in the price of oil but the big physical trading houses, which have vast control over oil flows and the hedge funds that have become increasingly prominent players were still largely in control.

This time, it’s different. The reason? Donald Trump, the US president.

Oil has been sensitive to Trump’s comments about the US war in Iran. Yet his view of it seems to change hour by hour.

As oil futures began to trade in Asia on Sunday night, prices surged close to $120 a barrel as the US president said expensive fuel was a “small price to pay” for world peace.

Yet by Monday afternoon, Trump was saying the war in Iran was “very complete, pretty much”, sending crude prices plummeting to below $90. It was the biggest daily swing in dollar terms on record.

Hours later, Trump threatened to hit Iran “20 times harder” if they blocked oil flows, prompting another rise in prices.”

#Trump's bad decisions are dragging the #USeconomy down. #American friends: how are your #finances right now? Will you punish Trump for basically robbing you?

"The #economy barely grew in the final three months of last year, the Commerce Department said, as it cut its estimate of fourth-quarter growth in half. #Consumer spending, after adjusting for #inflation, was anemic in January, as inflation remained sticky-high. #Hiring has also ground largely to a standstill. And #Americans’ outlook for the economy tumbled after the U.S. and #Israel attacked #Iran, according to a survey of consumer sentiment also released Friday."

The US economy stumbled as 2025 came to a close, new data shows

Newly released data shows the U.S. economy was already showing signs of strain even before the launch of the Iran war, underscoring the risks that rising energy prices could pose. The economy barely grew in the final three months of last year, the Commerce Department said Friday, as it cut its estimate of fourth-quarter growth in half. Consumer spending, after adjusting for inflation, was anemic in January. Hiring has also ground largely to a standstill. Gasoline prices have raced closer to $4 per gallon, potentially squeezing household budgets already under pressure. Many Americans will receive larger-than-usual tax refunds because of President Donald Trump’s tax cut law last year, but higher gas costs, if they persist, could soak up much or even all of those gains.

Scandale à la Cour des comptes: Macron compte s'inviter à l'installation de Montchalin ce vendredi, qu'il a bombardé présidente au mépris des coutumes institutionnelles. Traduction d'un bon connaisseur de la rue Cambon: "Il veut montrer qu'il est le chef. C'est comme les chiens qui pissent dans un coin pour marquer leur territoire". En attendant, les magistrats n'ont plus qu'à protéger leurs fourrures d'hermine de tout jet présidentiel...
