Iraq’s Oil Ministry has revealed that it has sent out exclusive invitations to several major U.S. energy firms to develop the country’s huge West Qurna 2 oilfield following the withdrawal of Russian oil number two Lukoil after Washington ratcheted up sanctions on Moscow. “It’s a huge turnaround in the trajectory it [Iraq] had been headed with Russia and China, marking a massive win for us [the U.S.] and Europe,” a senior legal source who works closely with the U.S. Treasury Department exclusively told OilPrice.com last week. “Stay tuned – there’ll be more of this to come,” he added.
The significance of this sea-change in Iraq’s geopolitical leanings can barely be overstated. Following the increasing perception among the Iraqi people that the U.S. had overstayed its welcome after it removed Saddam Hussein as leader in 2003, Russia and China – in that order – looked to boost their influence across the country for three key reasons. First, it offers a huge repository of oil at the world’s joint lowest average lifting cost of $2-4 per barrel, together with large quantities of associated and non-associated gas. Second, it occupies the geographical heart of the region, lying west of Iran, north of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, east of Jordan and Syria (with its long Mediterranean coastline offering access to further critical sea routes), and south of Turkey (affording an entry into the European continent). And third, it is a key member of the ‘Shia Crescent of Power’ geopolitical arc that stretches from Iran through Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, where Shia communities and Iran-backed groups exert significant influence over regional politics, economics, and security. In short, if you are a global superpower or wannabe, Iraq is where you need to be.

I have a friend in Vancouver who inherited a million dollar plus condo in Vancouver. He’s frightened to rent it out because of the strong squatters rights there. Some say there are no squatters rights in B.C., but I have reason to believe that this is not accurate. What’s the situation like in your community?
Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms- Digital ID Petition
Digital ID programs equip governments to access your personal information.
The government should not know about your interests, beliefs, behaviours, transactions, performance, personality, or preferences.
The government should not know more about you than your friends or family.
We, the undersigned, call upon provincial and federal governments to ban digital ID programs that violate the privacy of Canadians.

Andrew Doyle- How ‘racist’ became a meaningless accusation
Then came the woke movement, an unmitigated disaster for race relations. It encouraged young people to think of themselves first and foremost in terms of their skin colour and to judge others in the same way, thereby normalising and promoting the key philosophy of ethno-nationalism.
Armstrong Economics- The EU and Canada Collaborate on Digital IDs
The danger here is obvious. Mutual recognition means a unified framework. They’re building a foundation to establish a GLOBAL digital ID. Once these systems talk to one another, you have created the architecture for a worldwide database controlled by the political elite. This is precisely what the EU has been pushing with its Digital Services Act and the infamous “digital wallet” proposal. Now they are exporting it, just as they exported their disastrous ideas on Net Zero and financial regulation. Canada, collapsing economically and politically, is following Brussels into the abyss.
FDA expands probe: Commissioner claims Biden administration withheld data on heart risk
The Food and Drug Administration has expanded its investigation of deaths possibly linked to the Covid vaccine to include adults as well as children, according to a Trump administration official.
…“F.D.A. is doing a thorough investigation, across multiple age groups, of deaths potentially related to Covid vaccines,” Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, said on Tuesday.
The broader review follows a memo in late November by Dr. Vinay Prasad, the F.D.A.’s top vaccine regulator, who informed staff members that the agency had linked about 10 children’s deaths to the Covid shots. He highlighted the dangers of myocarditis, or inflammation of the heart muscle, which the agency has for years cautioned is a rare but worrying side effect, especially among teenage boys and young men.
Daily Mail: In the study, published yesterday in Science Translational Medicine, scientists analyzed in the lab the blood of people who received the Covid vaccine. In those who also developed myocarditis, the researchers found higher levels of two proteins, CXCL10 and IFN-gamma.
This is personal to me because I’ve spent a substantial part of my life doing the jobs that Europeans would not do. From November 1988 to April 1991, with a multi-month tangent to the Persian Gulf War, I was part of NATO in what was then West Germany. It’s always great to have people tell me how important NATO is when I was part of it, and they weren’t, but let’s put that aside. I was there at the end of the Cold War. We were still doing things like having REFORGER exercises and going out on alerts at 3 a.m., where we would shiver in our assembly areas knowing that if the balloon really went up, our role was to die in place so the locals could continue to consume strudel and bitch about Ronald Reagan.

All that’s missing is a discussion about how much money the train is going to lose. Even in Japan, only one line of the entire high speed rail network runs at a profit.
The federal government says the first segment of its proposed high-speed rail project would connect Montreal and Ottawa. The segment would be about 200 kilometres long and construction would begin in 2029.
