The “Big Blue” Crane Collapse
Doctors And Engineers
Watch out for those “Richmond Hill homes” my friends, because you never know what they’re up to.
Three missing Quebec girls have been found in a Richmond Hill home, and police have charged a man and a teenage boy for allegedly trafficking them.
York Regional Police said officers received information on Tuesday that the missing girls may be in the area and that they were maybe being sexually exploited.
Within a few hours, police identified and attended a residence of interest in Richmond Hill.
”Shortly after arriving, two female youths were seen leaving the residence with an adult male in a vehicle,” police said in a news release on Friday.
Officers stopped the vehicle and arrested the man.
Police said they then entered the home “under exigent circumstances” and located the third missing girl along with a 17-year-old boy who was subsequently taken into custody.
The adult suspect has been identified as 23-year-old Shaikh Sabahat from Toronto. The teenage suspect cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter
Trump is now cleared to use the Alien Enemies Act against these savages.
In a 5-4 ruling, the SCOTUS has granted President Donald Trump broad wartime authority under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

All cultures are equal, except yours.
When Stephen Taylor read a CBC Nova Scotia story about the imminent closure of Parks Canada’s Canadian Register of Historic Places website, he knew he had to act.
The register is a national searchable database of historic places recognized by federal, provincial, territorial and local governments.
It contains about 13,500 listings and is slated for decommissioning this spring.
“Reading into it… I felt it would be a tragedy to lose that resource,” Taylor said.
“I felt there was a huge urgency to preserve it, ironically preserving our history, even though that was the point of the original website.”
As a partner and chief technical officer at Shift Media Strategies, Toronto-based Taylor knows a thing or two about web technologies.
That weekend, Taylor used artificial intelligence tools to download all of the data on the old Parks Canada site and rebuild it using modern web standards.
Pretty sure he’ll be arrested.
Are We Still A Member Of This Thing?
One wallet snaps shut and the whole deck collapses?
The United Nations is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to member states not paying their fees, the body’s head has warned.
He wrote in a letter to all 193 member states that they had to honour their mandatory payments or overhaul the organisation’s financial rules to avoid collapse.
It comes after the UN’s largest contributor, the US, refused to contribute to its regular and peacekeeping budgets, and withdrew from several agencies it called a “waste of taxpayer dollars”. Several other members are in arrears or are simply refusing to pay.[…]
At its headquarters in Geneva, signs warning of the situation have been put up everywhere. In an almost desperate attempt to save cash, the escalators are regularly turned off and the heating turned down.

“It’s not so much an army of Davids as an army of pedos, it seems.“
CPC Leadership
Pierre Poilievre wins leadership review with 87.4% approval, Rosemary Barton hardest hit.
Poilievre waltzed into that redneck rodeo town and the whole room of racist trucker-hat-wearing western deplorables lost their minds cheering like he just invented beer or something. He crushed that leadership review with 87% or whatever the hell it was, the party faithful slobbering all over him, screaming like it’s the second coming. Pathetic.
That was the easy part. But the rest of Canada? Please. These un-Canadian clowns don’t speak for the country—they’re just the loudmouth Maple MAGA fringe who love Donald Trump and think affordability means more oil subsidies. He still hasn’t convinced normal people he’s fit to run anything bigger than a backyard BBQ. Hammered the same tired lines about prices and taxes, sure, but dodged anything real that might scare off his adoring hicks.
They say more details are coming, he’s gonna tour and talk. Yeah, sure he is. If he wants anyone outside that echo chamber to take him seriously as PM material, he better start sounding like he wants pandas from Beijing instead of pandering to those yahoos. God, it makes me sick—he was supposed to crash and burn, and instead these idiots propped him right back up.
OK, so I took liberties.

Jeffrey Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself
Wow. In the Epstein emails DOJ dropped, Jeffrey sent himself emails memorializing a fight he had with Bill Gates. In it he says that Bill Gates got STD’s from Russian hookers, and then asked Jeffrey for antibiotics that Bill could secretly give to Melinda without her noticing. 😳

We Don’t Need No Flaming Sparky Buses
On the heels of a statewide mandate requiring all school bus purchases in New York State be electric by 2027, parents in the Lake Shore Central School District are speaking out, claiming some bus drivers are turning the heat down, or off completely, in an attempt to conserve battery life on their electric school buses.
WIVB News 4 has received several calls from concerned parents in the school district, which covers parts of Angola, Brant, and Derby, regarding their child’s bus trips to and from school, claiming they’re coming in freezing when they get home after getting off the bus.
The kids are coming home saying their bus is freezing cold and the parents are giving them hand warmers.
“The heaters on the bus run off the same electricity as the bus itself,” said Scott Ziobro, a former school board candidate and parent who has children who go to school in the district. “They were told that it drains the battery capacity of the bus itself.”

Margin Of Fraud
I suspect that something was found in the intelligence community’s possession substantiating a foreign nexus to election irregularities in Fulton County, Georgia. I suspect that FISA warrants and active Operations have pulled that thread and established an extensive record of evidence. I suspect that this is later into the investigation, rather than earlier.
Read the whole thread.
“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night”
Hey Don, did ya miss the new rules?
Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested late Thursday over the anti-ICE protest that stormed a Minnesota church during Sunday service, according to his attorney.
“Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards,” Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement shared with multiple reporters.
Lemon spent the night in jail and is expected to make a first appearance in court sometime Friday, according to Brian Stelter, the chief media analyst for Lemon’s former network.
I, For One, Welcome Our New Self-Driving Overlords
Simon Ree: Why the “AI Circular Funding Circus” is a serious macro risk for H1 2026
The Round-Trip Money Loop: $MSFT gives billions in funding to OpenAI. OpenAI then hands the money right back to $MSFT to pay for Azure cloud credits. $NVDA gives billions in “funding” to OpenAI. OpenAI then hands that money right back to $NVDA to buy GPUs…etc…
The Illusion: This creates “round-trip revenue”. It makes MSFT’s cloud business look like it has infinite growth, when a lot of that growth is just MSFT recycling its own cash
The 2026 Danger: OpenAI is now projecting a need for $1.4 trillion in infrastructure. If the killer app that generates trillion dollar revenue doesn’t appear soon, funding dries up, the revenue vanishes and the circus tent collapses on all comapnies
It’s a game of musical chairs where the music is just the same $20B being passed in a circle
The $GOOGL Factor in the AI Circus
Why $GOOGL is the house and everyone else is gambling
The Vertical Moat: Unlike OpenAI and $MSFT, who are “taxed” by $NVDAs 80% gross profit margins, Google uses its own TPUs (Tensor Processing Units)
The Cost Advantage: GOOGL’s TPU v6 (Ironwood) can run AI models at roughly 20% of the cost of the $NVDA chips $MSFT and OpenAI are forced to buy
$GOOGL can lower its AI prices to a level where OpenAI cannot compete without losing billions
And $GOOGL owns the whole stack, from the YouTube and search data to the chips and the consumer distribution ecosystem. They can survive a price war that would bankrupt a company reliant on external hardware
$GOOGL doesn’t need the circular funding circus to survive. They can simply wait for high-cost players to run out of cash
The 2 companies with the largest revenue exposure to OpenAI – $MSFT and $ORCL – have seen their combined market caps lost $1.1 trillion since their peaks
The legal showdown between Musk and OpenAI is scheduled to go to court on 27 April, 2026. If the court rules in favour of Musk, the concentration risk I talked about in my post yesterday could become a full-blown financial crisis for big tech.
