Thanks Virginia, you as well! It's a lovely one here in Ontario. Cheers!

My wake-up call from Jupiter this AM. ✨️ So happy I caught this - anyone else?

My Ontario views from last week as well. Definitely some curious things happening in our skies.

🇨🇦 ONTARIO: On September 8, two significant changes hit at the same time - and both could affect our everyday cost of living. ⛽ THE GAS TAX RETURNS Ottawa's temporary fuel-tax holiday ends September 7. On September 8: • Federal gasoline excise tax: 0¢ → 10¢/L • Federal diesel excise tax: 0¢ → 4¢/L • Ontario's 13% HST is calculated on a price that includes the federal excise tax For gasoline, that means the returning 10¢ excise tax has an 11.3¢/L tax-inclusive impact once HST is factored in. That's approximately: 40 L: +$4.52 50 L: +$5.65 60 L: +$6.78 200 L: +$22.60 Actual pump prices can still rise or fall with the market, and existing tax-free inventory isn't suddenly taxed on September 8 - but the federal 'tax holiday' itself is ending. 🇨🇦🇺🇸 NEW TARIFFS BEGIN THE SAME DAY At 12:01 a.m. September 8, Canada will impose new 15%, 25% and 50% counter-tariffs covering $27.6 BILLION of U.S. imports. They're concentrated in sectors including: ✓ Steel & aluminum ✓ Dairy ✓ Appliances ✓ Agricultural equipment ✓ Pulp & paper ✓ Plastics ✓ Electronics So what can Ontarians expect to see this fall? ⛽ Higher gasoline costs immediately 🚚 Higher fuel costs for trucking and deliveries 🛒 Pressure on some food and packaged-goods prices 🔨 Higher costs for affected building and renovation materials 🧺 Higher prices on some appliances 🚗 Pressure on some vehicle parts and repair costs 💻 Higher prices on affected electronics 🌾 Increased costs for farms and agricultural businesses 🏢 Higher input costs for Ontario businesses - some of which may ultimately be passed on to customers 10¢ here. HST on top. Higher transportation costs. Higher input costs. Tariffs on selected goods. Add those pressures together across transportation, groceries, repairs, household purchases and services - month after month - and Ontarians are going to increasingly feel it. How much more can we handle? Buckle up. September 8 is coming fast. 🇨🇦

As soon as they're reported, they pop up elsewhere - I caught all of these on Facebook. Wouldn't it be nice if the platforms and government cared more about keeping this stuff away from our kids, instead of worrying that they might read some actual news? This is reality in Canada.

It's everywhere right now. I publish articles for companies on LinkedIn & every feed is filled with the same thing. Our radio stations parrot the same messages over and over again as well. Unlimited funds to cater to every emotion, but nothing practical or helpful for Canadians.

Saw them last week in TO! We're all in the mood for some 80s nostalgia.

Checking MOTLEY CRUE LIVE off the bucket list (didn't realize it was on there, but it was) last night with an absolutely killer night out in TO. Tesla and Extreme opening made for the perfect 80s date. Loved it. Rock on. ❤️🎶

Wild Friday night with another unsettling Canadian wildfire sunset.

Nope, but I love trying to figure out his next moves. I'm just reading this for the first time from @ScottAdamsSays and he's got some great insight on the way Trump thinks and operates. This is just another move in the game, let's see what's next.
