Tax windfall for Canadian government, maybe? Business still has to do business to stay in business. So as long as Canadians benefit, not sure it matters if they're "Trump supported" does it?

Well, it means that profits earned by the Trump supporting business, will support Trump's agenda, which includes annexing / doing harm to Canada. As it's a US corp, it also likely means many of the high paying corporate backend jobs go south, removing high income earners from the tax pool. It's amazing to me that the gov is whining at Canadians about productivity, and grandstanding with 'elbows up' rhetoric, but they greenlight sending jobs to the states.

And if it's taking a more active role in supporting Trump, given that its such a large market slice, they could manipulate prices to gouge Canadians / do harm to Canada in a more direct fashion.

I stand corrected then. Sounds like trash for Canada. Any idea what the government is thinking? I thought it was progressive...
in reply to ynthrepic

The current liberal government is far more conservative leaning than the previous one. They're pushing very authoritarian bills, and effectively going along with much of the US's 'stuff', while attempting to spin a pro-Canada message for public support -- like the gov and our media lauding the push to diversify our energy supply by building small nuclear reactors... but glossing over that they require US-provided fuel to run (so we're literally increasing reliance on US stuff, while the US is busy using that dependence to attack us economically). On the authoritarian bills, there's stuff like making it so that law enforcement doesn't need a warrant to get customer information from private companies, and making display of certain symbols/flags a crime. The folks I know who follow this stuff, basically agree that it's all a bit tepid at the moment, but that it's still better than it would've been under our 'official' conservative party, as those guys wanted to straight up do a DOGE-north (and likely still do).

I'd frame it as Canada is still moving along with the Tech-bro agenda from the US at present, though we're less in to the Christian Nationalist / overtly racist stuff. For example, the coming budget is expected to have items related to OpenBanking/Digital Currencies, which are ideas primarily pushed by tech kleptocrats (there're obvious reasons they fumble to name specific, quantifiable benefits of those systems for consumers -- and it's because the benefit is pretty much all for big tech).

The party that had a more progressive slant last time around, the NDP, got trounced -- deservedly, as they hadn't really put out anything to persuade voters, and essentially told people to vote liberal if it meant defeating the cons. Our green party, who were even more progressive in policies (and often had big, interesting policy ideas), committed suicide years ago due to their adherence to their party-negative approach to DEI -- they literally elected a black lesbian jewish pro-palestinian lawyer lady as their leader, and she destroyed what little support the party had. Eg. she spent all the campaign finances trying to win a liberal-stronghold riding for herself in Toronto; she demanded full control of all social media accounts for the party, which she was given, but then she proceeded to go to news agencies and comment about how the party wasn't publicly supporting her on social media... the media she controlled... because the party was racist. That sort of thing.

So, as to what they're thinking, I don't think they view the US as a potential threat to the same extent as the public. And I don't think they're progressive in the old sense of the world, but they're still progressive relative to our southern neighbours. But I mean, that's a really low bar at the moment.

Thank you kind sir for you time giving me all that background. Sounds like a case of could be a lot worse, bit there's always next time to fuck it up better. DEI is important, but there really are a handful of crazy identitarians who need to be kept away from power if real democratic socialism is to stand a chance of becoming reality in the English speaking world.

Rising heat kills one person a minute worldwide, major report reveals


Biggest analysis of its kind finds millions are dying each year because of failure to tackle climate crisis

Rising global heat is now killing one person a minute around the world, a major report on the health impact of the climate crisis has revealed.

It says the world’s addiction to fossil fuels also causes toxic air pollution, wildfires and the spread of diseases such as dengue fever, and millions each year are dying owing to the failure to tackle global heating.

The report, the most comprehensive to date, says the damage to health will get worse with leaders such as Donald Trump ripping up climate policies and oil companies continuing to exploit new reserves.

Governments gave out $2.5bn a day in direct subsidies to fossil fuels companies in 2023, the researchers found, while people lost about the same amount because of high temperatures preventing them from working on farms and building sites.

South Korea trade deal appears elusive as Trump seeks $350B investment


Top officials in Washington and and Seoul say the sticking point for an agreement continues to be the logistics behind Trump’s demand that South Korea invest $350 billion in the United States.

Korean officials say a direct cash injection could destabilize their economy, and they’d rather do loans and loan guarantees instead. The country would also need a swap line to manage the flow of its currency into the U.S.

The disparity between what Trump is asking for and what South Korea can deliver threatens to overshadow the meeting between Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Gyeongju, a historical city playing host to the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

It's not as though this jackass hasn't got significant history of taking everybody else's money and pissingit up the wall. To add insult to injury for any potential investor, Trump will always accuse you of being the wrongdoer despite the money, fuck-ups being in his solitary control.

Interesting thing about false flag attacks is that many of them are not real false flag attacks but are attacks that have been carefully chosen to be allowed by ignoring the intel regarding them.

Israel for example had been notified by many countries of an incoming attack by Hamas with an extremely accurate description of what would happen, but decided to ignore it and not even strengthen their border defenses. It was in Israels best interest as it would give them an easy reason that would make their people allow them to ramp up the genocide.

in reply to x00z

Yeah I honestly found the timing of that suspicious given Bibi's trials coming up and plummeting popularity at the time.

I could see the same with 9/11. Various people didn't need to actually be involved with terrorism so much as "let it happen" and plan on how to profit from the response

in reply to x00z

Valid.

Before 9/11, the Bush administration had several clear warnings that something serious was in the works, and they totally ignored it. It was even put into his daily briefing that Al Qaeda was planning an attack that involved flying planes into buildings, but it was later speculated that bush probably never even saw it, since he often skipped reading his morning briefings.

If they had stopped to consider it, they would have realized that they had been receiving reports from flight schools of Arab students wanting to learn to steer planes in flight, but not take off or land, and one guy already in custody. Just a little bit of investigation would have exposed the whole thing.

But they wanted a Middle Eastern conflict, so all of it was ignored, with easily predictable results.

A False Flag event? Not by precise definition, but essentially the same thing.

Environmental treaties are paralysed — here’s how we can do better


On 15 August in Geneva, Switzerland, a fifth round of negotiations towards a multilateral treaty on reducing plastic pollution collapsed. The chair announced that the committee had concluded its work — without producing a draft treaty. Governments had failed to agree on the proposed articles of the convention; no further negotiations were being suggested.

This failure reveals a weakness in all environmental treaty negotiations, whether new or existing ones: a consensus-driven process waters down action to the lowest common denominator. Only symptoms get addressed, not causes.

Global Funds Exit China Real Estate Amid Steep Losses and Distressed Sales As Oversupply Expected to Take Years to Be Absorbed


cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44824942

Archived

Foreign investors who once saw China’s booming property market as a sure bet are now facing some of their biggest losses in decades. What was once a $140 billion push into Chinese real estate has turned into a wave of distressed sales and write-downs, with global players scrambling to offload assets at steep discounts.

[...]

Their retreat is adding fresh pressure to China’s already struggling property market, a sector that plays a huge role in the country’s economy.

[...]

Distressed sales — where owners sell under pressure from debt or defaults — hit 114 billion yuan (S$20.78billion) across 2023 and 2024, a record 22% of all transactions, Bloomberg Intelligence data shows.

[...]

All Sectors, One Struggle

The downturn is hitting nearly every corner of the commercial property market.

In logistics, once considered a bright spot thanks to the e-commerce boom, supply has outpaced demand. Even giants like Blackstone have started to sell. Earlier this year, it sold three logistics parks in southern China to a local insurance company for about 2.7 billion yuan.

[...]

Even distressed-debt specialists like Oaktree Capital have had difficulty turning a profit.

In 2021, Oaktree seized control of Evergrande Venice on the Sea, a sprawling resort development in Jiangsu province, after the troubled developer defaulted on a $400 million loan. The project — envisioned as a Chinese version of Venice — included canals, a grand hotel, and a conference center modeled after the U.S. Capitol.

Oaktree has since restarted construction and handed over some homes to buyers, but sales remain sluggish. Apartments that once fetched up to 10,000 yuan per square meter in 2019 are now advertised at less than half that price.

The pain may not be over. Analysts warn that it could take years for the oversupply of commercial buildings to be absorbed. Rents in China’s office market fell nearly 7% in 2024 — the sharpest drop on record — and CBRE expects no meaningful recovery in new supply until at least 2028.

[...]

“Global institutions are increasingly taking the view that this market won’t recover soon,” said Wilson. He expects office rents to keep falling through next year, and predicts that the nominal value of buildings in 2030 will still be below 2020 levels.

[...]

Israeli side is still a prevalent voice in covering the conflict with no voice leveraged to the same stage from palestinians, so whatever happens the mainstream news would be in their hands. It is an unequal exchange by design. It is hard to even start a dialog about peace if one side is a state recognized by everyone and the other is not.

One way is to start to recognize Palestine internationally, the other is to undo recognition of Israel. These tho can happily coexist.

I have no firm belief about this whole situation, but at the very least I don't find any reason for israelis to scale up their territory. If they are to have their 50s borders in the end, no israeli settler or IDF fighter has any right to cross that line, that they do as we speak. These are terrorist acts, and a genocide, and if Israeli dream can't be achieved without that, it is to be dismantled.



RSF fighters film themselves massacring Sudanese fleeing el-Fasher


The moment the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced it had stormed the city of el-Fasher on Sunday morning, it was clear that 260,000 Sudanese trapped in the city were in serious and immediate danger.

Middle East Eye has reviewed dozens of video clips and images allegedly taken in el-Fasher since the RSF assault began.

Some were published by the RSF itself; others emerged on social media, particularly Sudanese Telegram groups.

RSF members filmed themselves with people they have captured fleeing. In one clip, scores of men are seen sat on the ground surrounded by fighters, who repeatedly call them “slaves”.

In another, fighters tell six detained men, who are in civilian clothes but identify themselves as soldiers, that they can flee. Once the men begin running, the gunmen open fire on them, downing at least three.

This is one of the few reasons I wish there were gods. Humans are monsters and we need intervention. So easily and callously is human life destroyed.

momenti tosti con la mancanza della distruzione, quindi l’octaggio diventa strategico (sto cercando un’alternativa decente al tagliarmi)


Come avevo vagamente accennato, in questi ultimi giorni, il vuoto oscuro sta ritornando, non so perché. Questo è un problema, sì, ma il vero problema è che, di conseguenza, stanno tornando anche le urge. Le distrazioni ovviamente non funzionano granché, sia perché l’oscurità rende di suo più difficile immergermi bene in esse… ma anche perché, evidentemente, il mio cervello è così fritto da tutte quelle volte in cui ho potuto accogliere le urge senza troppe remore che ora, anche dopo anni in cui non ho rafforzato quelle molto particolari connessioni neuronali, con i giusti sfortunati trigger queste hanno ripreso ad attivarsi spaventosamente forte, quasi come se non fosse passato alcun tempo… 😳
how i look like after thinking of sh [self-harm] the whole day
La soluzione a tutto questo, per quanto ahimè temporanea, sarebbe appunto quella di dare retta alle urge, perché banalmente funziona… ma, purtroppo, da quando questo mio vizio è stato scoperto, mi è stato sostanzialmente vietato; e questo è circa l’unico motivo per cui, per qualche anno, nella pratica ho smesso, ma questa è un’altra storia. Però, dall’altro lato, di questo passo sarebbe questione di settimane al massimo perché io finisca definitivamente di impazzire, temo, quindi in qualche modo devo far stare zitto il cervello. Piccolo nuovo problema, allora: raggiungere questo obiettivo non sembra per niente facile, nel senso che metodi che funzionano davvero per far smettere questo desiderio non se ne trovano. 💔

Quello che sto dunque pensando è che, probabilmente, anche senza procurarmi una ferita, quindi senza avere quel dolore fisico e conseguente rilascio di endorfine, lo stupido inconscio che mi porta a volermi tagliare in primo luogo potrebbe credere che io abbia fatto esattamente quello che vuole, e quindi smetterla per un po’ di rompermi le scatole, se riceve almeno tutti gli altri stimoli che l’azione altrimenti comporta, ma che di per sé non mi sono vietati, in quanto non autolesionismo; quindi, almeno la vista di una ferita di quel tipo sul mio corpo, e una certa sensazione di pressione abbastanza forte concentrata su una linea della pelle nel momento dell’azione stessa… Quindi, farmi dei tagli finti che però la mia mente percepisce come reali, in qualche modo. 😻

Ebbene, credevo, pensavo, di aver appena trovato, con un po’ di sperimentazione, un metodo epico, che avrei voluto dire qui, con appena una matita e dei pennarelli (l’intero mondoctt verrà ricostruito a partire dalla cancelleria, di questo passo, wow); ovviamente, non dannoso per i tessuti, così da non violare il divieto morale, e che non lascia alcun segno persistente, permettendo di far sparire tutto semplicemente lavando se necessario, così da evitare certe conversazioni che non voglio mai più avere nemmeno tra 100 anniPeccato che poi, ben dopo averlo provato, cioè solo quando stasera sotto la doccia ho provato a lavarlo, ho visto che i segni che ho lasciato non sono andati via al 100%… perché a quanto pare, senza volerlo (ho semplicemente fatto troppa forza accidentalmente), ho comunque causato delle abrasioni sulla pelle… che ok, sono minuscole, ordini di grandezza meno peggio di cosa avrei combinato se fare quello fosse stato il mio obiettivo, ma: 💣

  • Se me ne fregassi semplicemente, e lo riutilizzassi altre volte così com’è, allora sarebbe autolesionismo, per quanto minimo e insignificante… e ho detto che ciò mi è proibito, quindi non va bene.
  • Anche se il danno è appena un graffietto sullo strato più superficiale dell’epidermide, che non sanguina, non brucia, non lascia cicatrici e credo sparisce nel giro di qualche giorno, è comunque un minimo visibile, e non si può cancellare a comando, quindi entra in gioco il problema del dover nascondere; perché ok, quando sono uno o due è plausibile siano accidentali, per aver strisciato contro qualcosa o boh… ma, se sono tanti e disposti strani, diventa difficile fingere.

Il metodo non è comunque da buttare, perché ha potenziale (e non c’è nessun altro surrogato del tagliarmi davvero che ce l’abbia così), ma è chiaro che va rivisitato e opportunamente ricalibrato, allora. La falla che va risolta è appena una, cioè evitare che la pelle si “consumi” per l’attrito che la parte fisica della procedura richiede, e le combinazioni che posso ancora provare sono tante — magari usare una matita ancora più morbida di una 2B, magari trovare movimenti diversi ma a cui il mio cervello risponde comunque come mi serve, magari elasticizzare la pelle con oli o cose strane prima della procedura così che non si rompa — quindi ha ancora senso non arrendermi per davvero, a queste urge 👌

La fregatura aggiuntiva però è che qui sono veramente solo io e la mia inventiva, perché dubito ci siano altre persone qui in condizione sia di poter avere a che fare con questi assurdi esperimenti di fisica mischiati a psicologia (e, se non avete esperienza con questa roba, per il vostro bene non vi immischiate, vi prego), sia di volerlo fare (perché c’è chi, non soffrendo sotto il giogo dei divieti, e approfittando della stagione delle maniche lunghe, non perderà tempo a cercare di stare pulito/a)… e ChatGPT qui è alquanto inutile, perché va di continuo in protezione. Vabbè… se sono una ragazza magica, in fondo, ce la farò… credo… 🥴

CBP Quietly Launches Face Scanning App for Local Cops To Do Immigration Enforcement


Archive: archive.is/XzIwr


DHS Gives Local Cops a Facial Recognition App To Find Immigrants


Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has publicly released an app that Sheriff Offices, police departments, and other local or regional law enforcement can use to scan someone’s face as part of immigration enforcement, 404 Media has learned.

The news follows Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) use of another internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) app called Mobile Fortify that uses facial recognition to nearly instantly bring up someone’s name, date of birth, alien number, and whether they’ve been given an order of deportation. The new local law enforcement-focused app, called Mobile Identify, crystallizes one of the exact criticisms of DHS’s facial recognition app from privacy and surveillance experts: that this sort of powerful technology would trickle down to local enforcement, some of which have a history of making anti-immigrant comments or supporting inhumane treatment of detainees.

Handing “this powerful tech to police is like asking a 16-year old who just failed their drivers exams to pick a dozen classmates to hand car keys to,” Jake Laperruque, deputy director of the Center for Democracy & Technology's Security and Surveillance Project, told 404 Media. “These careless and cavalier uses of facial recognition are going to lead to U.S. citizens and lawful residents being grabbed off the street and placed in ICE detention.”

💡
Do you know anything else about this app or others that CBP and ICE are using? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.

Jeffrey Epstein had accounts with Goldman Sachs and HSBC, documents show


Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced late financier and sex offender, had accounts at Goldman Sachs (GS.N, HSBC (HSBA.L), and other banks, new court filings show.

The revelations came in previously sealed documents made public by JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N), once Epstein's main bank, in a now-settled lawsuit brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands, where Epstein had a private island residence.

Released to the public on Friday, the report did not provide dollar amounts or details about Epstein's relationships with other banks, but alerted authorities to money transfers he made.

A U.S. judge ordered the documents unsealed in response to requests from The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg earlier reported the banks' names.

In an emailed statement, Goldman said: "We terminated our client relationship with Mr. Epstein, and his assets were transferred out of the firm in 2010."

HSBC declined to comment.

“New Mexico is creating the conditions for better outcomes in health, learning, and well-being,” said Neal Halfon, professor of pediatrics, public health and public policy at the University of California, Los Angeles.

In addition to offering free child care, the state has launched initiatives to expand access, including a campaign to recruit more licensed and registered home providers. It also established a $12.7 million low-interest loan fund to help construct, expand and renovate child care facilities.

Tommy Robinson is a wasteman, but he shouldn’t have been arrested using terror laws


A court has found Tommy Robinson to be [url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/nov/04/tommy-robinson-cleared-terror-related-offence-phone-code-refusal]innocent[/url] of a terror-related offence. It follows a border stop in which Robinson refused to

A court has found Tommy Robinson to be innocent of a terror-related offence. It follows a border stop in which Robinson refused to hand his phone over to the police. Unfortunately, it’s far from the first time authorities have used terror legislation as a blanket excuse to do whatever they like.

Robinson detained under Terrorism Act


As reported by the BBC, Tommy Robinson was stopped by the police at the entrance to the Channel Tunnel. It was there that he was asked to give his phone pin over, and it was there that he refused because he claimed to have “journalist material” on his device. As he was detained under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act, police had the right to demand that he unlock his phone, but Robinson refused.

This is what we wrote during the trial:

Now, we here at the Canary don’t consider Robinson to be a journalist because he isn’t one; he’s a political activist who uses the veneer or journalism to push a far-right agenda. At the same time, we are very much opposed to the Terrorism Act and the inevitable overreach which results from it.

Anyone can be arrested at any time for refusing the police access to their electronic devices when ordered to do so under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act. No suspicion is required.

No one should support the prosecution of Tommy Robinson under this legislation.

Highlighting how terror legislation is frequently used to abuse civil liberties, Emily Apple wrote the following for the Canary back in 2016:

The police have shown repeatedly that they regard fracking protesters as an extremist threat. Fracking protesters have been included in Prevent training about extremism, and campaigners questioned under anti-terrorism legislation at airports.


The government’s proscription of Palestine Action is the most significant misuse of terror legislation to happen recently:

The Met Police in effect confirms that the govt’s decision to ban Palestine Action as a terrorist group is “drawing resources away” from defending the public from actual terrorism. Who would have thought? pic.twitter.com/K1gvb1MCRJ

EXCLUSIVE: A Scottish counter-terrorism board found that Palestine Action’s activities fell below the threshold to be considered terrorism before the group were banned by Labour, The National can reveal pic.twitter.com/FJ85pTlqpQ

If people have broken the law, that needs to be resolved in some fashion. The problem is successive governments and police services have decided that opposing them is an offence in itself – even when said opposition does not cross the threshold of illegality.

This state overreach needs to stop.



When SNAP benefits will arrive is still in flux. Here's what communities are doing to fill the gap


The Trump administration says it will restart the national food aid program known as SNAP using money from a Department of Agriculture contingency fund but will only pay out half the amount participants would normally receive.

In a court filing, officials said depleting that fund means "no funds will remain for new SNAP applicants certified in November, disaster assistance, or as a cushion against the potential catastrophic consequences of shutting down SNAP entirely."

Starting Nov. 1, SNAP benefits did not hit accounts as expected after the USDA, which administers SNAP, froze funding, citing the federal government shutdown. The shutdown is now in its 35th day.

It is unclear when low-income families who depend on SNAP will receive these partial funds. The Trump administration said it anticipates long delays — "anywhere from a few weeks to up to several months" — before benefits arrive in the hands of registered SNAP recipients.



Deranged Zionist senator Lindsey Graham says the quiet part out loud again

Deranged Zionist US senator Lindsey Graham is, once again, saying the quiet part out loud.

In a speech to the ‘Republican Jewish Coalition’ – a lobby group that claims to represent Jewish people but makes its real agenda clear by attacking those they consider to “possess strong anti-Israel biases” – Graham wasn’t shy about telling his audience, to frequent cheers, that the US is “killing all the right people” and that if anyone wants to object to US support for Israel they’d better argue with God, exulting that “we’ve run out of bombs” and adding that he feels “good about where we’re going as a nation”:

This is far from a one-off for the rancid Graham, who has previously threatened to invade the International Criminal Court for daring to issue an arrest warrant for war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu. He’s called for Gaza to be nuked, called for Israel to sink humanitarian boats trying to deliver aid to Gaza, demanded the US bomb Iran just in case it ever posed a danger to Israel and accused the United Nations relief agency, UNRWA, of teaching Palestinians in Gaza to “kill all the Jews”.

Judge says allegations of conditions at Chicago-area immigration site are 'disgusting'


The government is accused of denying detainees proper access to food, water and medical care and coercing them to sign documents they don’t understand. Without that knowledge, and without private communication with lawyers, they have unknowingly relinquished their rights and faced deportation, the lawsuit alleges.

“This is not an issue of not getting a toilet or a Fiji water bottle,” attorney Alexa Van Brunt of the MacArthur Justice Center told the judge. “These are a set of dire conditions that when taken together paint a harrowing picture.”

U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman presided at the hearing just days after Van Brunt’s group and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois filed the lawsuit and sought a temporary restraining order. The judge said the allegations are “disgusting.”
