@realdonaldTump. He'll either save #America, bringing the rest of the world to its knees economically, or vice-versa. Unlike #China, who view deal making as a win-win/non zero sum game, he seems to view global trade as #uspoli win/everyone else lose/zero sum competition.
It's Global Hegemony or bust for #America.

🤔 I lean to the conclusion the US has no intention whatsoever to abide by the terms Iran is dictating. They just don't know what else to do at the moment. So they're buying themselves a few days to ponder the problem.
Meanwhile, US bases in the region remain indefensible.
The immediate fault line in the US-Iran MOU is Lebanon. Iranian sources claim missiles were readied after yesterday's Beirut strike and that this time just the *threat* of retaliation extracted new US concessions and a supposed reprimanding of Israel.
Yet, if Israel continues to push, the burden will fall on Iranian decisionmakers to act or risk losing credibility at home, in Lebanon among Hezbollah's base, and among friends and foes alike regionally and globally.
Therefore, in the immediate term at least, the deal's future will likely hinge on Lebanon.

“Driving the economy?”
Where, Bob? To another downgrade? British Columbia has seen five S&P credit downgrades under the BC NDP.
You sit on the Treasury Board, so own it
Investors aren’t looking at B.C. like they used to, for all the reasons Kerry-Lynne Findlay mentioned
Facts:
Crime rates have gone down in BC over the past 5 years. And, the government has worked hard to secure needed bail reforms with the federal government to combat repeat violent offenders.
No one is going to lose their house to indigenous people, contrary to the rhetoric. DRIPA has nothing to do with private property cases including Cowichan. Those decisions are based on section 35 of the Constitution Act and Supreme Court of Canada cases. A KC lawyer must know this.
Increased longterm debt is required to finance the building of essential infrastructure including hospitals, schools, roads, energy infrastructure and housing. For 16 years, the previous government failed to invest in the needed infrastructure, leaving this government with a huge infrastructure deficit to resolve.
Kerry-Lynne Findlay, fear mongering, misinformation and negative rhetoric will not make BC a better place for its citizens.
Driving the economy with key investments, improving the services that people need and making life more affordable are what is important.
It’s easy to be a critic, it’s much harder to roll up your sleeves and do the hard work.

A B.C. mayor says his community has reached a breaking point. And so has everyone else in B.C.!
The NDP can’t seem to get it together.
More than 400 people are experiencing homelessness in the Cowichan region, municipalities are spending millions dealing with the consequences, and local leaders are now begging the province to step in.
After almost ten years of NDP government, the crisis is bigger, the costs are higher, and communities are being pushed to their limit.
Jun 15
In an open letter to Premier David Eby, Mayor of North Cowichan Rob Douglas is urging the province to meet with local leaders and take immediate action on what he describes as a growing homelessness, addictions, and mental health crisis in the region.

The NDP’s reckless push of DRIPA and mishandling of reconciliation has triggered a full-blown crisis of confidence in private property rights across British Columbia.
The Cowichan decision treats Aboriginal title as senior to fee simple ownership, creating dangerous uncertainty for every homeowner, farmer, resource worker, and investor. The NDP is now appealing the ruling they enabled while pretending there’s nothing to worry about.
I fought and won a landmark Supreme Court of Canada case defending property rights. In office, I will repeal DRIPA, restore legal certainty, and put British Columbians’ property rights first.
British Columbians own British Columbia. No more two-tier governance.
Join me as we end the division and rebuild our economy.

BREAKING: A source close to the IRGC says there is "growing satisfaction" inside the Revolutionary Guards over the deal, with IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi saying "first, we take the money" in reference to the $300 billion in reconstruction funds and $24 billion in frozen funds Iran is receiving, and then the IRGC takes over the Strait of Bab al-Mandeb after Hormuz, where it plans to "play exactly the same game."
The IRGC's internal assessment is that Iran preserved its ballistic missile program, full regional proxy network, complete control over Hormuz and ability to rebuild while extracting hundreds of billions of US dollars and recognition, with discussions already focused on "the day after the agreement, not the agreement itself."

BREAKING: Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon is not a condition of the U.S.-Iran deal, a U.S. official tells Reuters. Israel retains right to respond to any attack.
Iran's Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned: If the U.S. "lacks the will and ability to fulfill your commitments," then "speaking of continuing the path is not possible." No Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon = no deal.
Hezbollah has repeatedly affirmed it will not respect any deal that does not include the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon.

🚨 BOMBSHELL: Baghaei drops a terrifying reality check on Washington. He confirms signing a ceasefire absolutely does not mean Iran will forgive the Trump administration for assassinating their top scientists.
Tehran will relentlessly pursue justice for these war crimes!
🚨 WOW! Iranian spokesperson Baghaei drops a massive ultimatum on Washington. He confirms Iran will immediately use its powerful military tools to force the Trump administration and Israel into compliance if they violate the Lebanon ceasefire.
Tehran dictates the terms now.

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Patriot MTG confirms Trump launched the Iran war purely for Israel, completely ignoring US intelligence.
He depleted American weapons and now demands $300 billion from taxpayers to rebuild what he and Netanyahu destroyed instead of making Israel paying that!
🚨 DISGUSTING: Patriot MTG exposes the Iran peace deal epic failure for Trump. She confirms Trump decided to bomb Iran entirely on behalf of Netanyahu.
Trump now demands a staggering $300 billion from American taxpayers to fund reconstruction instead of from Israel!
