Important reading here for those looking for context as to why the U.S. government is buying stakes in Canadian mining companies.
The Trump administration recently bought stakes in two Vancouver mining companies and has shown interest in a project north of Prince George.

How the materials would be used is unclear — but it’s unlikely to be green energy.

Global instability is creating a rush for critical minerals, which are useful for green energy. And the military.

Just another of the many, painfully obvious, double standards that Palestinians have been dealing with and continue to face in this conflict.
Ex-Israeli minister Danny Ayalon: "This is where Hamas is."
Me: "Danny, where is the Israeli military headquarters?"
Ayalon: "Tel Aviv."
Me: "It's in the heart of Tel Aviv. So can a Palestinian group blow up all of Tel Aviv to get to [it]"?
Ayalon: "No."

Just what was Trump - who may or may not have lost a fortune from CDO’s in 2008 - thinking when he said ‘Canada doesn’t even allow U.S. banks’?

On the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, it’s surreal to read about proposals to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from their homeland.
Israel’s far-right minister Bezalel Smotrich has praised President Trump’s proposal to clear Gaza's Palestinians out and move them to Jordan and Egypt and is working to turn it into an “operational plan”, reports The Times of Israel.
