25th Amendment Time
In Canada, yesterday, Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada was holding an investment summit in Toronto, with a goal of attracting up to one trillion dollars in investments in Canada. Later this week he will be going to Europe and giving a speech in front of the EU with the goal of building greater trade relations between Canada and the EU
What was Donald Trump doing? See the map above. This is the leader of the world, I was going to try to say something witty. I can’t. I don’t know what he was trying to accomplish with this. I think he posted this one right after he posted the meme about him dumping Mark Carney onto the ice. If we did not have AI right now, he would probably be colouring in colouring books.
The US cabinet and vice president should have mercy on Trump and use the 25th amendment to put him out of his misery to prevent him from further embarrassment. He has totally lost his logical abilities if he had any to begin with. After all he did bankrupt a casino.
If you want further proof, look for a video of Laura Ingraham asking him why he doesn’t just send out $5000 to every American adult right now. If anyone and I mean, anyone can make sense of his answer all that means that you’re just as bonkers as he is.

Bridge Too Far?
The Edmonton Oilers are known for giving players second chances. Craig McTavish while playing with Boston Bruins back in 1984 was convicted of vehicular homicide after he ran into a car ending up in the death of a woman. He was driving under the influence at the time. He served a year in jail. The Bruins let him out of his contract to give him a fresh start, and Edmonton signed him. He played for eight years with the Oilers and helped them win three Stanley Cups. He also coached the Oilers.
 Another player give a second chance was Evander Kane. Before he came to the Oilers, he had a checkered past, including skipping on gambling debts, domestic violence allegations, sexual assault allegations, and violating Covid protocols. The Oilers gave him a chance and he helped them to two Stanley Cup final runs.
Now, Alex Formenton. He was one of the five Canadian junior players accused of sexually assaulting, a girl in a London hotel back in 2018. When the allegations came out, he along with the four others were suspended from the NHL Hockey Canada ended up paying $3.2 million to the girl in a lawsuit. A criminal trial was held, and all five were acquitted, much to the dismay of many.
The NHL lifted the suspension on the five last year. Carter Hart, a goaltender, lead the Vegas Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup final last year.
Things have changed over the years. There is a lot of anger over the signing of Formenton. All one needs to do is go sites such as Facebook and Threads to see the anger on both sides of the fence. Emotions are being rubbed raw. The anger is so great that 57,000 people have signed a petition for the Oilers to drop Formenton from the team. On the other side of the fence, those who support Formenton are accusing the naysayers of being ‘woke’.
In the coming months, we will see if the Oilers, signing Formenton, was a bridge too far.

A Great Time
A great time to be alive. The first NFL Sunday of the season. The Edmonton Eskimos, sorry the Elks, sweeping both Ends of the Labour Day classic with the hated Calgary Stampeders.
NCAA. Last week it took Michigan 60 minutes and one second to win their game over Western Michigan. Yesterday they only needed 60 minutes to be Oklahoma. I’m still not sold on Michigan’s quarterback.
Oregon losing to Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, who lost the Tulsa last weekend. Texas knocking off Ohio State from their number one perch.
Just around the corner of the NHL. So screw politics for the day and just enjoy the NFL Sunday.

Oprah Trump
I never watched the Oprah Winfrey show. But I guess she had shows where she gave a car to every person in the audience.
“ and you get a car and you get a car and you get a car”.
Over the past few days, Donald Trump has been laughed at for suggesting that he was at the World Trade Centre on September 11 and that two fireman rescued him. There have been memes, showing him being at Iwo Jima with the Marines, putting up the US flag. As well as other memes such as him crossing the Delaware with George Washington and him being at the Hindenburg disaster.
Well, he’s done it again to himself. He’s now promising $5000 to every adult. Should the Republicans win the midterms. But he would do it after the midterms. This would add another $1.3 trillion to the deficit. Many Republicans are saying that Trump is now a socialist. Other Republicans are saying ‘over my dead body.’.
Trump has made wild promises before. He has promised Americans thousands of dollars in tariff relief and money after Elon Musk’s DOGE cuts. He also promised a healthcare plan within two weeks. 😂😂😂
That was deserving of laugh emojis.
A female reporter was asking him about the $5000 promised, and how it would affect the debt. He was also asked why not give it now instead of after the midterms. Trump did not take too kindly to these questions. He actually lunged at the reporter as shown in the image above.
His mental capacity has to seriously be questioned right now. He is making a fool of himself. What is scarier is he expects voters to fall for the latest bribe. What is even scarier after all the broken promises is that some of these supporters will believe him.
What a time to be alive.

911
We all remember where we were that day. On our local rock station, I heard that a plane had crashed into one of the twin towers. This was as our youngest was getting ready for school. I thought it must’ve been a small plane and thought nothing more of it.
Went downstairs to my office, turned on the computer and saw that a second plane had crashed into the towers. Turned on the TV. First image I saw was both towers smoke and fire coming out of them.
I knew right then, and there that the world had changed. This would be our generations, Pearl Harbor. The rest of the day. Wild rumours. A third plane crash, this one into the Pentagon. Then a plane crash somewhere in Pennsylvania. And then the towers fell. Utter shock.
A week later, once flights had started again. I was at a layover at the Winnipeg airport. There was a flight crew change. A flight attendant coming on board saw a stack of Bibles in one of the overhead bins. She started crying ‘ what are these doing here?’ She had a breakdown right on the plane. They had to take her off.
Like I say, we all have memories.

Donald Trump has been spewing lies about his role when the towers fell
“I was building a building in New York, and I had a lot of construction workers. And I went down there very shortly thereafter, the following day — couldn’t go down the same day —Very quickly afterwards. And we worked long and hard.”
That is complete BS. Trump told the following lie at the Pentagon a couple days ago.
“We thought it was coming down on top of us, and two firemen, big strong guys — I’m not the smallest guy in the world — they grabbed me under the arm, said, ‘Got to get out of here,’ and they literally lifted me up.”
This also did not happen.
He also lied when he said he saw Muslims dancing in the streets, celebrating the fall of the towers. What his role was on September 11? He called a radio station on that day to say that now that the towers are fallen, his Trump tower was the tallest building in New York City. He did say that.
This guy is totally despicable. He will lie about everything, including the tragedy of 911. He is a sick man.
One more thing, Donald. In your speech at your midterm convention last night, you said that Canada was begging for a deal. No Donald. We are not. We are the ones that walked away from the table and we have made no move to go back and we won’t go back until you grow up. Which means we might never go back.

Another Fine Mess
Well, Donald, you sure put us all into another fine mess, haven’t you? The war in Iran is expanding. Saudi Arabia got attacked yesterday. You’re expanding the tariff war with us in Canada. And prices around the world are jumping up.
The Dow Jones, yesterday, took a deep plunge and is expected to do the same again today. So that is not doing anybody’s investments, including mine, Donald, any good. The average price of gas per gallon in your country jumped up seven cents overnight to $4.22. This is like back in the Covid days when you said the end of Covid was just around the corner. Yeah, right.
And now you’re having your first midterms convention in Dallas today and tomorrow. You should see the Republicans who aren’t coming to it because they don’t wanna be attached to you in any way. You’re saying it’s gonna be a sellout. More likely it will be a sell off. One Republican said that it’s a good thing there are NFL games tonight and tomorrow night because the convention’s gonna be a no-show
Donald, words fail me.

Here Is The Difference
The first image was posted by Donald Trump, himself. The second image was not posted by Mark Carney, nor by anyone in his cabinet. That’s the difference. Mark Carney is a mature adult. Donald Trump is a petulant child who is not getting his way
Donald Trump has done more to unite this country that any Canadian leader has. 85% of Canadians approved of Canada walking away from the negotiations. 80% of Canadians support the counter tariffs. Mark Carney’s approval ratings are near 70%. Donald Trump is the gift that keeps on giving.
Mark Carney is saying we have to endure. We are going to take some pain but we have to do this. Even with him saying this, Canadians are saying hold my beer and watch this.
Whoever thought the phrase ‘ Donald Trump, the great uniter‘ would be a relevant phrase. As of this morning, with the counter tariffs in place the US made the first move, they made the first phone call and there will be a meeting held this afternoon.
Stay strong Canada. Elbows freaking up.

Losing His Mind
While people in Canada and the US are, for the most part, enjoying the Labour Day weekend, Donald Trump is doing what he is known for, rage posting on his true social. He is now upset with the exchange rate between Canada and the US.
“Canada’s (currency) Dollar imbalance with the U.S. is unacceptable.”
“It has been that way for years – but no longer!”
I don’t think Donald took any economics courses in university. If he did, he didn’t get good grades. How the heck is he going to influence exchange rates between our two countries?
Donald is also upset that the Fed, in the US is not lowering interest rates. He is saying that if they do not lower interest rates, he is going to stop trading with countries with which the US has export import deficits. He has talked about the $60 billion deficit that the US has with Canada. I don’t know where he got that number from, but let’s go with it. The US has nine times the population in Canada does. Of course the US is going to export a whole lot less to Canada than Canada is exporting to the US. It’s a numbers game, Donald, you moron. No he definitely did not do well. Any economics in university or high school for that matter. Furthermore Don, if you stop trading with all these countries, you’re gonna have no one left to trade with, except maybe China
Donald Trump is a gift that keeps on giving to Mark Carney. Latest pulling shows that 85% of Canadians support Canada walking out on the trade negotiations. In addition, 80% of Canadians support the counter tariffs that will take affect tomorrow.
Meanwhile, in the US, Americans are upset with Trump for starting this tariff war with Canada. Trump will freak out this week after the counter tariffs take effect. He is a bully being told no, and he does not like it. Too freaking bad, Donald. It sucks to be you.

Embarrassment
NCAA, don’t you have enough issues going on already? Like over the years I have liked Michigan. I was born raised and went to university in towns bordering Michigan so it was hard for me not to follow the Michigan Wolverines.
But last night they lost that game, no ifs ands or buts. It would’ve been the biggest home opening loss in the big house since 1997 to Appalachian State. They lost, they underwhelmed. The picture above shows zero seconds left. Nada. Nil. Zip
They reviewed the play. Somehow our other, the referees put a second back on the clock. Somehow, or other on the second chance, Underwood throws a 47 yard miracle for a touchdown. This is so freaking embarrassing.
I wonder how many people, it could not have been that many, that bet western Michigan to win straight up last night. Boy, did you get robbed wow just freaking wow
Michigan you should have just call the NCAA and apologize and give the win to Western Michigan.
That’s all I got.
Bird's Chirp
So I don't have to put it on Facebook anymore….
