Wow.
@davidbexte's speech to Parliament has been the most viewed political moment in Canada since the King's own speech. Across dozens of platforms, nothing has even come close to this. The legacy media hasn't mentioned it though. (We don't need them.)

Ontario's measles outbreak. Ontario has now surpassed 2,000 cases, primarily among children who are unvaccinated. To put that in perspective, between 2013-2023 Ontario saw a total of 101 cases.

Ontario still lacks a modern immunization registry. Urgent action is needed from Premier Doug Ford, Minister of Health Sylvia Jones, and all Members of Provincial Parliament.

Should (and Could) Canada Join the EU?
Canada in the EU? It’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. From trade lifelines to legal minefields, here’s what joining Brussels might mean for Ottawa in a shifting global landscape.

Just to give you some idea of Canadian's views on the USA I include this video... I might add that while I agree that Canada needs to build a strong infrastructure to sell our products to other countries I am not in favour of turning against America. It's obvious that President Trump is not being sensible in turning against Canada. If he'd just added 10% to tariffs then countries could have worked with that but it's the back and forth of his tariffs that make it almost impossible to plan for the future.  I am of the opinion that this is the start of the decline of America. 

Like drones have made an enormous difference to defence in that Ukraine has shown how having big powerful ships, and fighter aircraft no longer means you can win wars.  Like America did lose the wars in Vietnam and Afghanistan and Ukraine has proved how a non nuclear country can cause enormous damage to a nuclear country in Russia.

And then looking at the expansion of the BRICS nations where they are now threatening the dominance of the American dollar. 

Anyway... you might be interested in this view...;

A global power shift is unfolding and Ontario is right at the heart of it.
Jun 12, 2025 In a stunning twist, Ontario is preparing to align with the European Union in a game-changing economic deal that could sideline the United States. What began as quiet negotiations has exploded into a bold move that’s catching Washington off guard. In today’s video, we break down how Ontario — Canada’s industrial powerhouse — is forging deeper ties with Europe, from green energy to advanced manufacturing. The goal? Bypass U.S. influence and carve out a new global role.

And then I watched this video which I think echo's my concerns...

Why is Canada falling behind in agriculture and food production?

Canada urgently needs strategies that create incentives to encourage capital to flow into investing in agriculture and food.

Evan Fraser and Rene Van Acker are professors at the University of Guelph. Lenore Newman is a professor at University of Fraser Valley.

This fall at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, Ont., visitors were treated to a tour de force of agriculture and food innovation. Self-driving tractors and drone crop sprayers increase productivity and reduce pesticide and fertilizer use, shrinking the environmental impact of farming while boosting profitability. Advanced genomics create healthier, more resilient crops and livestock. Data management systems bring the power of big data and artificial intelligence onto our farms and our ranches.

Yet despite all this innovation, we face an uncomfortable truth. Few of the technologies on display were developed in Canada and in many ways, agriculture in this country is lagging.

Consider the Netherlands. Its land mass would fit comfortably in Eastern Ontario, yet it vastly outcompetes Canada in its contribution to the global food system. In 2023, the value of its agricultural exports was about twice that of ours – this in a country that has been reducing its total agricultural emissions over the past 30 years. They have achieved this by investing in technological innovation and bringing government, the corporate sector and researchers together in a model they call the “triple helix.”

The Netherlands’ success stands in stark contrast to Canada’s lagging performance. If there’s any sector of the economy where we should be a global leader, it should be agriculture. We have the fertile land, the fresh water and a community of sophisticated producers. Canadian food products are amongst the safest and most sustainable in the world and we have a network of public agrifood research facilities and smart farms. Most regions in the world can only look with envy at what we have.

The reason we are failing to realize our potential is both predictable and pedestrian. We have a regulatory system that is hard to navigate, there is a lack of capital available to agriculture and food entrepreneurs and we face chronic labour shortages that throttle innovation. This is especially galling given that we are great as a nation at creating intellectual property and starting companies. But to survive, our agriculture and food entrepreneurs often flee to the United States, where their companies find the training, mentorship and capital they need to go to scale.

All this means that although our research and training capacity is substantial and our international reputation is enviable, we fail to realize the benefits of these assets and we languish.

The good news is that if the barriers are pedestrian, so too are the solutions. First, although we have an excellent network of over 160 business incubators and accelerators across Canada, only a handful focus on agriculture and food. We need more capacity. We urgently need strategies that create incentives to encourage capital to flow into this space; the recent announcement that agricultural lender Farm Credit Canada is creating a venture wing is a good start.

Crucially, our universities and colleges need the opportunity do more. We need to redouble our efforts to encourage young innovators to apply their ingenuity to sustainable food production and food security. And Canada’s research councils need to create funding opportunities so that established researchers working in disciplines such as robotics, genomics and artificial intelligence are given opportunities to apply these tools to making Canada’s food system more efficient, healthy and sustainable.

Launching a national sustainable, innovative ecosystem that positions our country for global leadership in agrifood innovation is not an impossible dream. It will take effort and investment, but we’re not exactly proposing to build a food system on Mars or perfect cold fusion in a bottle. If we want to realize our country’s potential as an agrifood superpower, it will take focused effort, but the goal is entirely achievable.

In a world riddled with political upheaval and climate chaos, many countries are looking to Canada to be a leader in the sustainable agrifood revolution. Furthermore, all macro trends, from volatile energy prices to population growth, suggest that there is a strong business base to finding solutions for producing more healthy and sustainable food while helping the planet. The only real question is whether Canadians, and Canadian leadership, will be the ones to make the investment that allows us to achieve this goal.

My Telus house security system was going haywire with lots of messages being emailed to me.  I phoned the support number that the keypad offered me and got the computer which I simply couldn't get to go to a support person.  So when I got another automated phone call I called the number they provided and at last managed to talk to someone who was very helpful.  She arranged for a tech person to visit me the next day.

When Ahmad called the next afternoon I found out he was of Lybian descent which made me create a page on my ElectricCanadian site for Lybians in Canada.

Anyway... he was very good and all the issues have been fixed and in addition he also put their mobile app onto my smart phone and he also kindly fixed my computer monitor.

Iran attacks Israel breaking ceasefire, Ukraine slams Russia
(june 24, 2025)
Iran and Israel have continued to conduct heavy strikes against each other after the ceasefire was attempted to be put in place. So far Israel and Iran have both vowed to continue strikes against each other much to the anger of the President of The United States. Iranian drones were intercepted only a short while ago in Northern Israel, and it is believed that more Israeli airstrikes may occur soon. Ukraine has slammed the Russian war industries in the city of Taganrog, hitting a refinery and drone factory. Meanwhile Ukrainian forces are pushing the Russians back towards the Sumy borde,r liberating two villages today. Eastern European countries are now mining the border as statements appear to be made quite clearly in the NATO summit today; a Russian invasion of Eastern Europe is becoming more likely.
