A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

Greg MacEachern breaks down the Conservatives' faltering opposition tactics: “They’re on small‑potatoes kind of stuff… ‘The job of the opposition party is to oppose.’ No—it really is to give an alternative and to say, ‘If we were in power, we’d be doing things differently.’”

The Trump family has been bragging that Trump's energy policy has enabled their Bitcoin-mining bonanza.

Turns out they're running part of their mining operations in Canada. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
Justin Ling: The Trumps’ latest money-making scheme has a little-known Canadian connection. Can we do anything about it?
It's a refuge for criminals and a cash cow for the man who wants to annex us, yet bitcoin is still being mined in Canada.
