Stellantis made commitments to Brampton workers and to Canada. As the Prime Minister said, it’s a betrayal of the workers and of Stellantis’s obligations to all Canadians. We will fully enforce our rights in protection of those workers and Canadians. 🇨🇦 Stellantis a pris des engagements envers les travailleurs de Brampton et envers le Canada. Comme l’a dit le premier ministre, c’est une trahison envers les travailleurs et un manquement aux obligations de Stellantis envers l’ensemble des Canadiens. Nous ferons pleinement valoir nos droits pour protéger ces travailleurs et l’ensemble des Canadiens.

I'm posting this beautiful exchange again not only because it not has English subtitles, but because it's so beautiful. Love always triumphs.

FINALMENTE: l'Italia concede l'uso i suoi satelliti militari all'Ucraina!!! 🇮🇹🇺🇦🇮🇹🇺🇦🇮🇹🇺🇦 Dopo il coinvolgimento di Israele, sembra che anche l'Italia abbia concesso all'Ucraina l'utilizzo dei propri satelliti militari. Il coinvolgimento del nostro paese riguarderebbe i satelliti COSMO-SkyMed, che si occupano di intelligence radar e dell'osservazione terrestre. Nel pacchetto di aiuti militari all'Ucraina (esaminato dal Copasir), il governo italiano ha incluso anche l'accesso alle immagini ad altissima risoluzione fornite da due satelliti della costellazione radar COSMO-SkyMed. Si tratta di un'ottima notizia poiché i satelliti italiani in questo campo sono considerati un'eccellenza. Sfruttando la tecnologia radar SAR, riescono a scovare i movimenti delle truppe e dei mezzi russi in qualsiasi condizione atmosferica: di giorno, di notte, con pioggia fitta o copertura nuvolosa. I termini dell'accordo prevedrebbero che l'uso di questi dati radar sia strettamente limitato alle operazioni di difesa e ricognizione all'interno del territorio ucraino. I dati dei satelliti italiani si vanno ad aggiungere a quelli dei terminali israeliani di hiSky, che nonostante non possiedano una propria costellazione di satelliti in orbita, sono in grado di agganciarsi a diverse reti commerciali globali, e questo permette ai militari ucraini di trasmettere dati, coordinare missioni di droni e correggere le rotte di volo in tempo reale aggirando le restrizioni geografiche o i blocchi del segnale imposti da Elon Musk su Starlink. Questo significa che da adesso in avanti gli attacchi in profondità in Russia saranno sempre più frequenti. I due flussi di dati, insomma, andrebbero ad integrarsi: da un lato gli ucraini usano la tecnologia dei terminali israeliani hiSky per mantenere stabili le comunicazioni tattiche dei droni al fronte, dall'altro sfruttano gli "occhi" dei satelliti italiani COSMO-SkyMed per la ricognizione e la raccolta di informazioni d'intelligence. Adesso avete capitoperché i russi, in questi giorni, sono così incazzati con noi? #SlavaUkraini

Having worked with clients on RTR in past years, I am extremely excited to see its rollout begin in Canada. By 2028, Canada could have one of the most modern payment infrastructures anywhere in the world, combining real-time settlement, internationally interoperable data standards (ISO 20022), and advanced fraud protection. Canada is also the first G7 country to launch a real-time payments system with mandatory centralized fraud services from day one. This is a big deal for Canadian fintech innovation. Paired with advancing open banking architecture, consumers can expect experience improvements and more competition in the years ahead.
Canadians will now start being able to send and receive money in seconds. Any hour, any day, all year round. As announced in Budget 2026, Canada's Real-Time Rail starts rolling out today. Over the next year, financial institutions and payment providers across the country will come on board, reaching more than 9 in 10 Canadians. Faster, safer payments for families and businesses, on national infrastructure owned and operated here at home. That strengthens our economic sovereignty.

Sulle pensioni Meloni fa una cosa giusta, ma non la rivendica. Finalmente si inizia a toccare le pensioni più alte per provare a riequilibrare un sistema previdenziale assolutamente insostenibile. Non basta, va fatto molto di più.

Leaving it at this for the evening. 🙏 Father.
When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay
