Why the Saab Gripen is the absolute best choice for Canada's skies compared to the F-35. 🇨🇦✈️ When looking at what Canada truly needs in a fighter jet, the Saab Gripen completely dominates the Lockheed Martin F-35. First, let’s talk about our harsh northern climate. The Gripen was explicitly built by Sweden to operate in freezing Arctic conditions. It can land on short, icy public highways and be refuelled and rearmed by a tiny crew of conscripts in just ten minutes. The F-35, on the other hand, is a notorious maintenance nightmare that requires pristine, specialized hangars and long, perfect runways to operate. Geography matters, and the Gripen's twin-engine-like reliability and lower fuel burn give it a MASSIVE operational range to patrol our vast coastline. Financially, it is not even a close matchup. The Gripen costs a fraction of the F-35 to buy and fly per hour. Choosing the Gripen would save Canadian taxpayers BILLIONS of dollars—money that could be reinvested directly into our other choices and options for weaponry. Also, Saab offered Canada FULL tech transfer, meaning we could build and service the jets right here at home, creating tens of thousands of high-tech jobs. The F-35 forces Canada to rely entirely on American supply chains, in Canada has deliberately begun it's pivot away from this once trusted nation. For our environment, our economy, and our absolute sovereignty, the rugged and cost-effective Gripen is FAR superior to the overpriced F-35. M. #canpoli #Canada #MAGA

🇷🇺🇷🇺Putin has reportedly gone into panic mode and urgently summoned everyone to the Kremlin. Chaos is spreading across Russia. According to sources, the dictator is in a state of genuine hysteria. He urgently called together everyone still around him—generals, security officials, and ministers. The meeting was reportedly filled with tense silence, broken only by Putin's occasional outbursts. Ukrainian missiles and drones have carried out large-scale strikes deep inside Russian territory. Explosions were reported far from the front lines. Military facilities near Moscow, logistics hubs and warehouses in central Russia, as well as airfields used for launching attacks against Ukraine, were among the reported targets. Many Russians are said to be shocked by the scale of the attacks. Emergency services struggle to deal with fires in one location before new strikes are reported elsewhere. Cities that only yesterday considered themselves completely safe are now waking up to explosions and air-raid sirens.

🇺🇸🇵🇸La doble moral de Occidente expuesta La periodista Janine di Giovanni lo resumió perfectamente. “Si un misil impacta un hospital en Ucrania, Europa lo llama crimen de guerra. Pero si misiles impactan un hospital en Gaza y mueren 100 personas, es el derecho de Israel a defenderse.” Esta es la hipocresía occidental en su máxima expresión. Un hospital en Ucrania = tragedia. Un hospital en Gaza = “daño colateral” o incluso “justificado”. Cientos de hospitales, escuelas y centros médicos destruidos en Gaza, miles de médicos y pacientes asesinados… y Occidente sigue justificándolo. El estándar no es la humanidad. El estándar es la política y el lobby sionista.

Finalmente se terminó la guerra de Estados Unidos e Israel con Irán. Objetivos: ❌Derrocar al régimen de Teherán ❌Provocar una crisis interna ❌Eliminar el programa nuclear iraní ❌Generar un levantamiento civil ❌Destruir las capacidades militares de Irán ❌Controlar la ruta marítima del Golfo Pérsico ✅Perder decenas de soldados, vehículos, aviones, drones, radares y millones de dólares. ✅Tensionar las relaciones con Rusia y acercar a los iraníes con China. ✅Reabrir el estrecho de Ormuz que estaba abierto en febrero ✅Ocultar los archivos Epstein por mas tiempo. La peor catástrofe militar de Estados Unidos en décadas.

The Swedish government told her she owed 102% of her income in taxes. She was 68 years old, a children's book author, and held no political power. Yet, by writing a simple fairy tale, she helped topple a government that had ruled for 44 years. Stockholm, 1976. Astrid Lindgren opened her mail to find a tax assessment that defied logic. As Sweden’s most beloved author and the creator of Pippi Longstocking, her books had taught generations of children about courage, independence, and standing up to bullies. Now, she had to face a broken system of her own. She read the document carefully, did the math, and realized the truth: due to a quirk in the law that combined regular income tax with self-employment fees, her marginal tax rate had hit 102%. It was not a typo, nor was it a rounding error. One hundred and two percent. If she paid what they demanded on her extra earnings, she would owe more than she actually made. She would literally go into debt for the privilege of working. At 68 years old, she could have hired expensive accountants to quietly find loopholes and protect her wealth. She could have done what many powerful people do when systems overreach—safeguard her own position and leave everyone else to figure it out alone. Instead, she picked up her pen. In March 1976, she published a satirical fairy tale in Expressen, a major Stockholm newspaper. It was called "Pomperipossa in Monismania" (Pomperipossa in Money-mania). It told the story of a successful author who loved her country and worked hard, only to discover a tax system designed to punish honesty and success. The story was witty, precise, and impossible to misread. Pomperipossa was Astrid; Monismania was Sweden. The ruling Social Democratic Party—which had governed Sweden for over forty consecutive years—was furious. Prime Minister Olof Palme went on the defensive, dismissively claiming in public that Lindgren was a wonderful storyteller but a terrible mathematician. Astrid didn't back down. She stood by her numbers, and soon enough, the Ministry of Finance was forced to admit that her math was completely correct. She began appearing on television and speaking out publicly, pointing out—with the calm, steady patience of someone used to explaining things to people who aren't listening—that a tax system taking more than 100% of a person's earnings wasn't progressive. It was absurd. That September, Sweden held its national elections. For the first time in forty-four years, the Social Democratic Party lost power. While political analysts pointed to several contributing factors, like economic stagnation and inflation, everyone acknowledged that Astrid Lindgren’s tax revolt had fundamentally shifted the national conversation. She had made it safe to question a system that once seemed untouchable, giving a voice to frustrations millions of people felt but hadn't known how to articulate. The new coalition government reformed the tax code, cutting the most extreme rates, and Astrid quietly went back to writing children's books. But she never stopped paying attention. In the 1980s, when Sweden debated a new animal protection bill, she noticed loopholes that would still allow for cruel factory farming practices. She wrote articles, lobbied politicians, and testified before Parliament well into her eighties. In 1988, Sweden passed some of the strongest animal welfare laws in the world. It was widely nicknamed "Lex Lindgren" (Lindgren's Law) because everyone knew she was the driving force behind it. Astrid Lindgren passed away in January 2002 at the age of ninety-four. Sweden honored her with a state funeral attended by the Royal Family and the prime minister, while thousands lined the streets of Stockholm. But her true legacy lives on far outside of official ceremonies. Every child in Sweden still reads her books, every debate about fair taxation still references Pomperipossa, and animal welfare advocates across Europe still look to Lex Lindgren as proof of what is possible. She never ran for office, nor did she ever build a formal political movement. She had no credentials in economics or public policy—just an extraordinary gift for storytelling. But she had spent decades writing about Pippi Longstocking, a girl who refused to follow rules that didn't make sense, stood up to bullies, and never shrank herself to make others comfortable. Astrid Lindgren simply chose to live her life exactly like the hero she created. When authorities insisted that nonsense made sense, she refused to pretend along with them. And because she spoke up, the world listened.

Thank God for people like Cenk Uygur. Otherwise, we would never get to hear the truth...

Christianity wiped out women's history

Fareed Zakaria stood at Bard College’s commencement. He had a trigger warning. “I’m about to utter the two most provocative letters in English today. AI.” Students braced to boo. Instead, he flipped it. “I don’t want to talk about AI. I want to talk about HI. Human Intelligence.” The story: He pointed to the human brain. 3 pounds. ~20 watts. Less power than a laptop charger. AI data centers? They consume enough electricity to power entire cities. His point: humans aren’t “inferior computers.” We were never computers at all. The lesson: “A machine can write a sad poem. But it cannot weep at a funeral. It can generate a love letter. But it cannot fall in love.” Human intelligence doesn’t win on speed. Or efficiency. It wins because it’s embedded, consciousness, emotion, morality, memory, relationships, lived experience. The takeaway: Don’t ask “what’s left for humans to do?” Ask “what does AI reveal about everything humans already do, that’s irreplaceable?” Curiosity. Wisdom. Empathy. Critical thinking. These aren’t soft skills anymore. They’re the moat. Build the tech. Use the tech. But champion HI, human imagination, human inspiration, human interconnection. “Our imperfections aren’t bugs in some system’s code. They’re the cracks that let the light in.”

The world’s first trillionaire made a child rapist who he knew was in the Epstein files President of the United States and gutted an agency that was tasked with feeding starving children, leading to 700,000 deaths with over 15 million projected by 2030. He’s an abomination.

You can be repulsed by the general idea that there's a trillionaire while also being repulsed by the specific idea that it's Elon Musk.

Palestinian Football Association President Jibril Rajoub said he has not received entry visas to the United States and Canada to attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Rajoub stated that granting visas to World Cup participants is a right guaranteed under FIFA regulations, not a privilege, and argued that denying him entry reflects a lack of respect for both FIFA and the unifying values of sport.

My daughter, Mira... She was a witness to the genocide in Gaza. Among the traumatic memories she carries in her heart is what she saw on July 14, 2025, when she witnessed horrific bombardment scenes that left victims whose bodies were torn apart by the explosions. After eleven months of treatment and psychological rehabilitation for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Mira gradually began to recover and regain a sense of safety, hoping never again to witness scenes that could take her back to those painful moments or cause a setback in her recovery. My dear Mira, I wish you a safe childhood, memories with less pain, and a future free from the sounds and images of war.

Yesterday in the UK, a judge ruled against four direct action activists who damaged Israeli military assets owned by Elbit Systems in 2024. They are facing years of jail time and were sentenced for an “act of terrorism”, for attempting to slow down the weapons production and movement from the UK to Israel where these weapons and technology are used in daily acts of terrorism and genocidal violence against Palestinians in Gaza. We live in a time where the people of conscience who try to stop genocide are labeled as terrorists and the war profiteers and politicians who make the laws to defend them enjoy full impunity.

🌊 Big news for Canadian waters.... The northern cod fishery is officially swimming into the "healthy zone" for the first time since the 1992 ban. 🐟🇨🇦 The federal government just raised the total allowed catch by a massive 55% 😯, setting the new limit at 59,000 tonnes. Local inshore fleets will take home the biggest piece of the pie with 70% of the quota. While the new limits have sparked some intense local debates over who gets what share, there is a distinct feeling of huge hope out on the water. For over thirty years, our nets came up light and the ocean felt quiet. But today, the tides are finally turning.....It looks like the cod fishery has officially bounced back—proving that if you have a government that wants to move forward with a lot of industry and feels the time is right and you give the ocean enough time to breathe, they will both eventually gift you back its abundance. 🌊🎣✨ 🇨🇦 #canpoli #nfdpoli #peipoli
