People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.
I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.
Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.
Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.
Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.
So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.
PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.
Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

Don't worry Canada. The people who swore we'd all be dead from the Covid vaxx by now are all forestry experts now.

Wait, so ALBERTA IS BOOMING … under the oppressive federal yoke? Under the Nine Bad Laws? You mean the richest province in Canada is getting even richer? Clearly there’s no alternative but to bust up the country.
I’d respond directly but the premier’s chief of staff blocked me.

Charge it. Ride it. Repeat. ⚡️🚲
Thinking about an e‑bike as everyday transportation?
⏱️ Full charge: about 3–6 hours
📍 Range: typically 40–120 km per charge
Plenty for work, errands, and weekend rides around town.

Chrétien: When you look at the polls, Canadians have never been more united. Thank you to Donald Trump for that. I should propose him for the Order of Canada, but I cannot succeed. Do you know why?
Rosie: He's not Canadian?
Chrétien: Because we don't give it to a person who has a criminal record.

Probably the best description of how we should address homelessness, addiction, and mental health:
HOUSING FIRST doesn’t mean housing without resources.
It means housing with supports.
Housing with treatment. Housing with mental health care.
Housing with stability. Housing with dignity.
You can’t rebuild a life while someone is still trying to survive outside.
Be like Finland.

“Are LED lights harsh?”
If they feel harsh, they’re likely not LEDs.
LEDs let you choose your light:
✅ Warm (2700K) = cozy/soft
✅ Daylight (5000K) = bright/clear
Same tech, different moods-you’re in control. 👉 #MaketheSwitch: sjenergy.ca/switch/led-light…

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

From American Pulse.
“Carney has been Canada’s Prime Minister for one year. In that year, he has rearmed his country, rebuilt its alliances, secured its Arctic, reoriented its trade away from the United States, and stood on the world stage at Davos to say — without euphemism, without apology — that the old order is over and America is no longer its anchor”

"can we please end this farce?" Please?
Canada Post moving ahead with end of home delivery
They’re “moving ahead” with stopping dead. Henceforth Canada Post will provide one service — parcel delivery — that dozens of other companies do cheaper, faster and better, while refusing to provide another service — home mail delivery — which other companies are statutorily forbidden to provide.
Can we please end this farce? Or are we really going to continue to enforce a legal monopoly for Canada Post on a service it no longer performs?
