White House official pushes to axe Canada from Five Eyes intelligence group

A top White House official has proposed expelling Canada from the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing network as Donald Trump increases pressure on the country he talks about turning into the 51st US state. Peter Navarro, one of the US president’s closest advisers, is pushing for the US to remove Canada from the Five Eyes — which also includes the UK, Australia and New Zealand — according to people familiar with his efforts inside the administration. [...] Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who will step down from office on March 9, was recently caught on an open mic warning that Trump’s ambition to absorb the US’s northern neighbour was a “real thing”. Navarro did not respond to requests for comment. After the FT’s article was first published, Navarro denied pushing the idea, which he said was “crazy stuff”. “We would never ever jeopardise our national security . . . with allies like Canada,” Navarro said. The people familiar with the situation said Navarro, who has easy access to the Oval Office due to his close relationship with Trump, is arguing that the US should increase pressure on Canada by evicting the country from the Five Eyes. It is unclear whether the idea has gained traction with Trump but it is being discussed among his officials. [...] Steve Bannon, the former White House strategist who helped Trump win in 2016, said Canada needed to realise that Trump was not trolling Trudeau but was serious about wanting to annex the country. [...] Navarro served as a White House trade adviser in the first Trump administration. Last year, he served several months in prison for refusing to testify before the congressional commission investigating the January 6 2021 attack on the US Capitol. His views on trade have long been in sync with Trump, who sometimes calls him “my Peter” and named him in December as a senior counsellor for trade and manufacturing.

You’re in luck!

Here she is, our one winged demon, Sephiroth. She can’t fly, but she does have a habit of climbing things as if she’s some kind of Chatot or swift. Swifts, for those in dimensions without them, are small birds that are known for climbing and clinging to things, as well as only landing to nest. Of course, our Sephiroth is not a swift, she’s a Swellow, but the shape her body makes while she climbs is very similar to one.

She’s a troublemaker because she’s curious. She loves getting into places where she shouldn’t be. She’s very gutsy, we’ll give her that. Thankfully, she never drops down from a perch to dive-bomb staff or other residents. Thank the gods, ahaha!

The staff member in the picture, the human, not the bird, is Crow, one of our caretakers.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government unveiled details of its plan to cut $500 million from government spending Thursday — and not all departments are going to be feeling the same impacts. While some agencies like the Canadian Space Agency and the Invest in Canada Hub will see more than one per cent of their spending frozen and returned to government coffers, 61 departments and agencies don't appear on the list of government bodies taking cuts. The government said the cost-cutting initiative excluded agents of Parliament and small organizations with budgets under $25 million a year. But many of those not included on the list of organizations affected — such as the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and the National Capital Commission — have budgets much higher than $25 million.

so, the canadian federal election isn't until 2025 (specifically ON my birthday which will be really fun) but with the orange fucker's victory in the states, rumours that a snap election will be called are increasing. i'm seeing a lot of people say things like "i like the ndp better too, but they aren't going to win, so you should strategically vote for the liberals".

based on this projection, you would think that's correct. and it would be, if we voted directly, but we don't. we vote for the MPs in our ridings, and the leader of whichever party elects the most MPs becomes prime minister. not every riding has the same projections as the federal.

for example, i live in alberta, a famously conservative province. the liberals are not currently projected to win a single riding here. on 338canada, all but two ridings range in projections from "likely cpc" to "safe cpc". one of those two, edmonton strathcona, is projected as "safe ndp", and the other, edmonton griesbach, is projected as "cpc lean". this is the current projection for it:

voting for the liberals would not be the "strategic vote" in this riding. voting for the ndp would not be "throwing away your vote" in this riding. instead of immediately voting liberal this election, take a look at the polls and projections for your riding and make a decision based on how things are looking for you, not for the entire country. i think the amount of american election content we (understandably) get has made some people forget the differences in our voting system.

(if you don't know your riding, you can search your postal code on elections.ca and it will tell you. english speakers go here and french speakers go here)

You receive a package, it's a jar about the size of a large pickle jar, inside is a red liquid, in which floats red orbs about the size of a golfball. Tied to the jar is a note.

"Howdy there, hope this finds you well. I figured I would share a taste of the Ohrken region with some of my fellow bloggers. These are a berry native to Ohrken called Cran Berries. These ones have been pickled so they may be a bit tart. Stay safe out there."

-- Ranger Sveppir

Thank you very much! We here at the LPC appreciate it! I had the berries sent to the aviary in Fortree, and, wouldn’t you know it, we caught our one-headed Doduo, Asuka, fishing for berries!

I think it’s safe to say that these are being enjoyed by our residents here at the LPC!
