Mark Carney lifted some tariffs against the U.S. Was that a wise tactical move, or a bad blunder?
Canada has lifted many of its retaliatory tariffs against the United States. Here’s why that was likely a smart move by Prime Minister Mark Carney.The Conversation
🇺🇸: The willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus) is a songbird species in the leaf warbler family (Phylloscopidae). The willow warbler is a small passerine bird, measuring 11–13 cm in length. It appears slender compared to many other warblers and has a fine, pointed beak and relatively long wings. Its distribution area covers most of temperate and subarctic Europe and Asia, with wintering grounds in sub-Saharan Africa. Like other leaf warblers, the willow warbler is primarily insectivorous. Its diet focuses on small insects and spiders. Occasionally, it also eats berries and other soft plant material.
🇩🇪: Der Fitis (Phylloscopus trochilus) ist eine Singvogelart aus der Familie der Laubsänger (Phylloscopidae). Der Fitis ist ein kleiner Sperlingsvogel von 11–13 cm Körperlänge. Er wirkt im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Laubsängern zierlich und besitzt einen feinen, spitzen Schnabel sowie relativ lange Flügel. Das Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst weite Teile der gemäßigten und subarktischen Zonen Europas und Asiens, die Winterquartiere liegen südlich der Sahara in Afrika. Wie auch andere Laubsänger ist der Fitis vorwiegend Insektenfresser. Der Schwerpunkt des Nahrungsspektrums liegt auf kleinen Insekten und Spinnen. Gelegentlich frisst er auch Beeren und andere weiche Pflanzenteile.

Today in Labor History September 4, 1957: Nine African American students tried to attend Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Governor Orval Faubus ordered the National Guard to block them. The students were ultimately admitted. However, they were abused and harassed throughout the year. One girl had acid thrown in her eyes. One of the girls was suspended, and later expelled, for having the audacity to defend herself against the attacks.
Here is footage of the Civil Rights movement, accompanied by Charles Mingus’s “Fables of Faubus.”

Kremlin Blasts 'Unacceptable' Western Plan For Ukraine Security Guarantees
Kremlin Blasts 'Unacceptable' Western Plan For Ukraine Security Guarantees
After earlier this week European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen boasted to The Financial Times that the European Union had "pretty precise plans" for deploying a multinational force to Ukraine, and which is backstopped by the Untied States, the Kremlin has made clear it has flatly rejected such a prospect.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Wednesday that Moscow would not even discuss or entertain in any way deployment of foreign troops in Ukraine as part of a future peace deal. There will be no international post-conflict security force "in any format" - she made clear.
"Russia is not going to discuss the fundamentally unacceptable and security-undermining foreign intervention in Ukraine in any form, in any format," Zakharova aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/4/ru…
reporters on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Suggesting that it's entirely a waste of time for the West to be talking about such a topic, she said "next time they aim to discuss this topic, they should have a pointer in the form of Russia’s position."
"Judging by Ukraine’s losses, the European Commission has simply outdone itself," Zakharova added, at a moment Russia's ground forces continue to make gains in the east, and even into the more central zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukr…
.
And yet Europe is still forging ahead, with French President Emmanuel Macron hosting a summit of European leaders on Thursday. He barrons.com/news/europe-ready-…
, "We are ready, we the Europeans, to offer the security guarantees to Ukraine and Ukrainians the day that a peace (accord) is signed."
He called details of guarantees "extremely confidential" but indicated that the preparations had been complete. Various allied defense ministers will take up the issue in the Paris meeting on Thursday. But confidential or not, Russia has clearly already rejected whatever multinational force plan that the Western allies have on the table.
Moscow has consistently made clear its position, stretching back months or even over the last year, but this doesn't seem to have gotten through to Western capitals.
President Putin while speaking from Beijing Wednesday, after observing Xi's big military parade along with North Korea's Kim Jong Un, didn't sound like he's in a hurry to make compromises at the negotiating table.
He painted a picture of his troops having the clear battlefield momentum and upper-hand, threadreaderapp.com/thread/196…
that "Ukrainian combat-ready units are staffed at no more than 47-48%," in a speech. "Ukrainian military is constantly forced to redeploy units from one part of the front, to another," he said.
That's when he underscored that if the Ukraine conflict "cannot be resolved peacefully, Russia will be forced to achieve its objectives by military means."
For the first time, Putin revealed how Ukraine responded when Russia pulled its troops back from Kiev in 2022. t.co/cm5bV62eDM
— Rina Lu🇷🇺 (@rinalu_) twitter.com/rinalu_/status/196…
He did say that "If Zelensky is interested in meeting, let him come to Moscow" - but that such a meeting can only happen once clear understandings are reached, and if something substantial can be agreed up, and not just for the sake of optics or having a meeting just to have it.

The image features a character with a distinctive appearance, reminiscent of a classic vampire archetype. The character has a long, pointed nose, large blue eyes, and black hair styled in a slicked-back manner. He is wearing a black suit with a high collar, which adds to his formal and somewhat sinister appearance. The character's expression is smug and confident, with a slight smirk on his face.
The background is dark and indistinct, focusing attention on the character. At the bottom of the image, there is text in white font that reads: "How mfs who already watched the film look at you right before the plot twist." This text suggests a humorous context, implying that the character's expression is meant to represent the reaction of viewers who are aware of a plot twist before it occurs.

This is one of the last things Ed saw before blacking out. His mom always told him not to ride his skateboard in the street. Ed never listened. He felt he had as much right to the road as anyone else. When he clipped the pickup, his foot caught in the rear bumper and he lost his skateboard. He was developing a severe case of road rash on his back.
