It's kinda #sad when a #Canadian who's just a moderately-informed layman interested in world affairs and #geopolitics has a better grasp of what the USA starting a #war with #Iran would entail in terms of consequences than the "president" who ordered it or the Secretary of Defence that is carrying it out.

I paid a lot more to fill up my car a few days ago than I had for months beforehand. But it has just kept going up since then.
The discount gas at CostCo is listed as being the cheapest in my city right now, at $1.599 / litre. Just over a month ago - I only fill up about once a month - I was paying $1.099.
45% jump because Pedophile of the United States (#POTUS) bombed #Iran to start operation Epstein Fury. I don't doubt it's going to go up a hell of a lot more, and stay high for the forseeable future.
I think Canada should shut down all #petroleum exports to the USA. Keep the oil here and refine it, increase domestic supply to at least #temper the #price increases. USAnians can pay more for scarcer gas - it might finally get the #MAGAts to start complaining to their #Congresscritters and #Senators to get a leash on their dog.

The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".
More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

In case you missed it, Trump's longstanding (and strident) claims that over the course of his relationship with Epstein he was never accused of any wrongdoing with women or girls went up in smoke in the last tranche of Epstein files released by the US #DoJ.
The FBI interviewed an Epstein victim who directly accused Trump of sexually abusing her when she was ~14 years old. The #FBI investigated and determined her #allegations were #credible. And much like Stormy Daniels' account, he used force - it wasn't "consenting" (not possible with a minor) even if she had been an adult.
If you #USAnians are getting together with your #MAGA family members for the holiday tomorrow, do please remind them of this fact, and the fact that Trump has been identified by Marjorie Taylor Greene as the one fighting hardest against releasing the Epstein files. Oh, and that when Congress got nonpublic access to the #unredacted version of the files, it turned out Trump wasn't just in them a few thousand times - it's more than a million times. He has a leading role in them, which makes sense, considering Epstein was his best friend [1] for a decade or more.
These facts are not getting the attention that they really should, at least in the US mainstream media.
See https://substack.com/home/post/p-188009135 for one writeup.
[1] Trump doesn't really have "friends". All of his relationships are transactional.

Well, this is a real scheduling fustercluck. Who thought having the Superbowl and the winter Olympics on at the same time was a good idea?
Now I have to try to figure how I'm supposed to ignore both of them simultaneously.

So the #USAnians sent a "special envoy" to Greenland.
This is a #diplomatic faux pas to start with - #Greenland is an autonomous division of the #Danish kingdom, and so all diplomatic actions should (at least to start) be done by approaching Denmark, through the USA ambassador to Denmark. Bypassing that is Not Done. Extremely rude. Like, "drop your trousers and shit on the floor in front of the queen" #rude.
So that's bad enough.
But the *reason* for the envoy is to try to convince Greenland to #separate from #Denmark, and join the #USA. i.e. it's just another extension of the "We'll take Greenland" #bullshit the #insane #orange mental-defect-in-diapers was pushing a while back. This is, from a diplomatic standpoint, unspeakably rude. Unimaginably so. Simply unfathomable, except for the fact that the USA *elected* that #fascist #asshole to behave this way.
So the normal diplomatic response would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA #ambassador, and ask him for an explanation, and the ambassador would be expected to provide an #apology to some degree.
But given Trump's penchant for appointing his kind of c*cksuckers as ambassadors, and zero respect for any kind of #behavioural standards, the appropriate response here would be for the Danish PM to summon the USA ambassador, and then #stab him in the #face.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The federal Secretary of Transportation, Sean Duffy, accompanied by the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., today held a press conference at which they announced a new federal regulation that purports to pre-empt all federal and state law that make use of seatbelts mandatory on trains, planes, buses, and private vehicles, on the grounds of YOU'RE NOT MY REAL MOM! Spokespersons for the two agencies hid under their desks while yelling "No obbla inglays!".
