These are the numbers for BC.
As the ad asked . . ."What's in your wallet?"

Things with the FIFA event is not going well in the US. Trump has effectively kicked in Americas teeth and is now stomping on its face.
International visitors, and their spending, will be down, spoiling the anticipated profit.

Canada/Mexico may still do well. Who knows?

I did a lot of lifting and moving things yesterday and, as a result, have some muscle ache this morning.

It's so nice to have pain for which I know the reason.
Most of the pain I have at this age doesn't seem to have any reason at all.

Buying concert tickets sucks. A massive court case means it might get better | CNN After a jury determined Live Nation and Ticketmaster operated illegally, there may be some relief for concertgoers on the horizon. You’ll just have to be patient.

I solved the ticket dilemma years ago.
I stopped buying tickets to those big events!

I go to small, local events only.

I hurt myself anyway!

Gen. Caine shows how US blockade against Iran began | CNN Politics Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine explains how the US blockade of Iran began at a Pentagon press briefing.

The General spoke/tried to explain what the US Navy is doing for nearly 5 minutes.

Not once did he mention that they were engaging in piracy.

I have a particular hatred for drug ads in any media.

It is my firm belief that any prescription drug should not be advertised to the public. Registered doctors and pharmacists should be the only recipients of that information.

"There ought to be a law, dammit!"

Trump, Vance, Poilievre, . . .all of the right-wing nut jobs . . . we can't seem to get rid of them.
The Bermuda Triangle must be full!

There should be no question . . . .right?

CBC investigation finds grocers Loblaw, Sobeys overcharging for underweight meat — again | CBC News A CBC News secret shopping investigation has — once again — uncovered how several Loblaw-owned and Sobeys-affiliated stores are overcharging for underweight meat, despite claims last year that the gro...

The big grocery chains are at it again.
If you are feeling ripped off there is a good chance that you are right!
It looks like we will all need to invest in kitchen scales to protect ourselves.

About those 3 Canadian by-elections.

Actually Pierre, the rest of the country doesn't seem to agree with you and, reality check, your ex-members walked to the Liberals on their own, because of you.

Time to go run a food truck with Daniel Smith somewhere in Alberta!

An overdose of grief: Ten years into the crisis, the toxic-drug toll continues to mount The sheer scope of grief hanging over families and friends of those who have died in the toxic drug crisis is unprecedented in B.C.’s history.

Something to think about and to adjust attitudes with.

"People living homeless represent just 12 per cent of toxic drug deaths. The other 88 per cent of the 18,000-plus people killed in B.C.’s crisis come from every walk of life."

Listening to various experts talk about Trump is funny in a perverse sort of way.

People can't find enough negative adjectives to describe him.

We need a completely new industry dedicated to creating new adjectives!

.
How the mighty are falling.

Trump is in trouble at home.
Vance has no influence.
Trump backed Orban goes down to defeat.
Putin is losing in Ukraine
and . . .The rest of the world is moving on without the US as quickly as possible.

WOW . . One person can make a difference!

I'm not knowingly a Mooby.
I'm not sure I would know how to be.

Hope is not a plan and nostalgia is not a strategy!

What decision did you make today that was a 100% net gain for Canada?

Something as simple as buying Canadian or volunteering at a non-profit, saving the government money works wonders!

Pope Leo warns of invoking name of God in US-Israel’s war with Iran | CNN During a prayer vigil, Pope Leo XIV called for the end of the US-Israel war in Iran, condemning the use of the name of God to justify the conflict. CNN’s Christopher Lamb reports.

What in hell gives the US the idea that God would in any way agree with them and/or Israel on this. That is some kind of arrogant hutzpah!

‘It’s solid gold’: Some Texas Republicans ramp up criticisms of Muslims to energize primary voters | CNN Politics Running in a contentious race to keep his seat, US Sen. John Cornyn put out an ad vowing to fight “radical Islam.”

Corruption
Bigotry
Prejudice
Lies (and other not-so-nice things)

Expanding on that thought, since a "deal" with Donald Trump is only a momentary occurence, able to dissolve on the next hour's Tweet, as opposed to anything one can take to the bank, we are likely better off not wasting our time.

Wait for a real president to lead the US instead!

Washington was counting on you forgetting about the Epstein files.

You just wasted all that money they spent on the war so far.

Good for you!👍

"Art", the thing most people don't understand.

CUSMA talks may run past July 1 deadline, U.S. trade envoy says | CBC News Negotiations to rebalance the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement are likely to continue past the July 1 deadline, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Tuesday.

As Canada has repeatedly said, "no deal is better than a bad deal."

No rush for trade deal until we see respect from Washington. Canada's plan to deal more with Europe, Asia and Africa is more profitable for us in the long run.

Trump has not earned the Nobel Peace prize for obvious reasons . . . BUT!

I'm happy to announce that he has earned the Al Brunet "Warmonger of the year" award, with distinction!

The award comes with nothing.

Trump said that “a whole civilization will die tonight,”

I don't know how serious the damage will be in Iran, but the civilization affected the most by Republican stupidity is the American one.

Trump is killing it little by little every day. 342,620,000 people in the US are doomed for decades!
