Hope you will also appreciate it when a further rise in cost of your fuel hits you in Canada.
Been there done that. Atmost, a few cents will be added on just like we have seen every now and then this year.

Where do you think the tax credit comes from? Well, It's from profits from the same oil companies. Oil companies make more money, which equates to more income for the government, which also trickles down to the citizens.

Depending on how you look at it. Even Trump cheered a couple of years ago when there was an announcement of cut. Lol.

OPEC+ agrees major cut of 2 million barrels a day.

This is a "bit" of good news for some of us. A tax credit of $1,000 (500 bucks per adult in a household) will hit my mail box anytime from now as a result of strong resources price from the last cut. I wonder how much my government (in Canada) would be sending me this time around. Fingers crossed.

This mad man has been dealt with so badly. Just as a friend predicted. He would call up the reserves and threaten to use nuclear weapons. Guess what? I first said it here. He would dare not. Man is hurting.
Putin is hurting really bad.

Ukraine has exposed the Russian military as overrated. We all saw how their junks were failing and being captured in Ukraine.

Alberta Medical Association (Alberta is one of two most conservative provinces in Canada) is getting ready for an influx of Americans from Republican states)

The statement below was released today:


https://www.albertadoctors.org/services/media-publications/presidents-letter/pl-archive/roe-v-wade

Dear Members,

Today the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the landmark Roe vs. Wade ruling. While we have anticipated this possibility with dread, the actual overturning of this decades-old jurisprudence decision on abortion is much worse for women of our neighbouring nation. It may be a harbinger of further erosion of equity, diversity and inclusion in that society. The immediate effects will be felt most keenly by already marginalized populations.

The Alberta Medical Association has always strongly supported access to safe and timely health care for all. For women, there is no more important dimension than access to reproductive care and treatments.

This is an attack on the fundamental rights of women to determine what happens to their bodies. As a medical association, we see it also as a deadly threat to the health care that women need and deserve. Falling back to a world without Roe v. Wade raises a horrifying spectre of serious morbidity and mortality for the many who will now be unable to safely terminate a pregnancy.

Many are commenting. The American Medical Association issued a statement. As I wrote this letter, Alberta colleague and Canadian Medical Association president-elect Dr. Alika Lafontaine tweeted this comment: “Roe v. Wade confirms that human rights, equity and equality cannot be taken for granted.” I agree wholeheartedly. Safe and equitable health care for the needs of women must be safeguarded.

I add, also, that we will be looking into the implications for Alberta-based physicians who provide services to American patients, as we may now face an influx in border communities and our larger cities. We will communicate what we learn to the sections involved..
Goodluck to American women living in GOP states.

Well-done sleepy Joe cool:

"The idea is to find a whole-of-government way to reach out to people who are able to naturalize," the Citizenship and Immigration Services official said, adding that there are 9 million people in the US who are lawful permanent residents who may be eligible to apply for citizenship.

That includes, for example, holding naturalization ceremonies at national parks to raise awareness, partnering with the U.S. Postal Service to display promotional posters at Postal Service facilities about becoming a U.S. citizen, and engaging with the Department of Veterans Affairs and veteran service organizations to find ways to educate service members and veterans on citizenship, according to the strategy, titled "Interagency Strategy for Promoting Naturalization."

Biden has sought to strike a different tone from that the previous administration on immigration, underscoring the contributions immigrants make to society and moving away from anti-immigrant rhetoric.

Over the course of his presidency, Donald Trump tried to curtail legal immigration and doubled down on citizenship, teasing an end to birthright citizenship and attempting to include a citizenship question on the census. The Trump administration also revised the naturalization exam, a crucial step on an immigrant's path toward US citizenship, a move that stood to make the test more difficult. Biden rolled back those changes.

Previous administrations have promoted naturalization, the Citizenship and Immigration Services official told CNN, but the forthcoming strategy by the Biden administration tasks additional agencies to work with USCIS to have broader outreach.

"Becoming a United States citizen is a tremendous privilege," said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas. "New citizens, strengthened with the power and responsibilities that American citizenship brings, make our Nation better. This strategy will ensure that aspiring citizens are able to pursue naturalization through a clear and coordinated process."

Biden will participate in a naturalization ceremony on Friday. It will be among more than 100 such ceremonies scheduled between June 30 and July 7 to welcome more than 9,400 new citizens.

Earlier this year, Biden recorded a video that is played at naturalization ceremonies in which he thanks the new US citizens for choosing the United States and invokes his own ancestors who emigrated from Ireland.

"I want to thank you for choosing us and believing that America is worthy of your aspirations," Biden says in the video.

"You all have one thing in common: courage. The courage it takes to sacrifice and make this journey. The courage to leave your homes, your lives, your loved ones, and come to a nation that is more than just a place, but rather an idea," he says.

"Today you've earned a new title equal to that of an American president, the title I'm most proud of: citizen. Citizen of the United States of America," he adds. "Welcome, my friends. Welcome my fellow Americans, welcome."

Crooks:

PHOENIX (AP) — Newly released records show the top Republicans in Arizona’s largest county dodged calls from Donald Trump and his allies in the aftermath of the 2020 election, as the then-president sought to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s victory in key battleground states.

The records — including voicemails and text messages — shed light on another state where Trump, his attorneys and others mounted a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign on Republican officials overseeing elections. Days before Congress certified Biden’s win on Jan. 6, Trump pressed Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find enough votes to overturn Biden’s win there.

Trump tried to reach Clint Hickman, then the chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, on Jan. 3, shortly before midnight in Washington and hours after news broke of Trump’s call with Raffensperger.

“Hello, sir. This is the White House operator I was calling to let you know that the president’s available to take your call if you’re free,” the White House operator said in a voicemail. “If you could please give us a call back, sir, that’d be great. You have a good evening.”

Hickman told The Arizona Republic, which first received the records from Maricopa County, that he did not return the phone call. He said he presumed Trump would try to pressure him to change election results or discuss election conspiracies as he had done with Raffensperger.

“I’m not going to tape a president, so I’m not going to talk to a president. … I didn’t want to have a very rough call to my home on a Sunday night,” Hickman told the Republic.

Hickman and the rest of the Board of Supervisors, which is controlled 4-1 by Republicans, have aggressively defended the vote count in Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix and 60% of Arizona’s voters. They have maintained the outcome was not affected by fraud or irregularities.

State Senate Republicans used their subpoena power to take control of all 2.1 million ballots and the machines that counted them. A firm led by a Trump supporter who has shared far-fetched conspiracy theories is overseeing an audit for the Senate GOP.

The most aggressive pressure came from Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward, who tried to convince Republicans on the board to question the election results, even as the officials tried to instill confidence in the them. At one point, she texted Hickman, “We need you to stop the counting.”

She tried to convince Hickman and Supervisors Steve Chucri and Bill Gates to call Trump attorney Sidney Powell, who filed lawsuits around the country alleging the election conspiracies. The lawsuits were all thrown out.

Early Nov. 20, when the board was scheduled to certify Maricopa County’s election results, Ward texted Gates, “Can we talk today now that the lawsuit is over? There are so many abnormalities that must be adjudicated. I know the Republican board doesn’t want to be remembered as the entity who led the charge to certify a fraudulent election.”

After sending information alleging fraud — and shortly before the board voted to accept the election results — she texted him, “Sounds like your fellow Repubs are throwing in the towel. Very sad. And unAmerican.”

She texted Chucri, “Seems you’re playing for the wrong team and people will remember. WRONG team.”

The records also include voicemails from Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani trying to reach several of the GOP supervisors. Chucri met with Giuliani when he was in Phoenix to air Trump’s baseless fraud theories.

“If you get a chance, would you please give me a call,” Giuliani said in a message to Gates. “I have a few things I’d like to talk over with you. Maybe we can get this thing fixed up. You know, I really think it’s a shame that Republicans sort of are both in this kind of situation. And I think there may be a nice way to resolve this for everybody.”

The junk man is a bastard indeed. Frustration is setting up on him. Buhari and his band of Robinhoods are celebrating the arrest of Kanu and near assasination of Igboho while Ghana a country with the population of Lagos State is celebrating an Assembly Plant Toyota just opened in Accra. No wonder Ghana is deporting Nigerians.
Ghana is light years ahead of Nigeria. I was in Ghana sometime in 2014 on holiday. I visited the Canadian high commission in Accra, and it was lovely to see caucasian staffs driving themselves to work without a battalion of soldiers or body guards like in Nigeria. Not even a bullet proof vehicle. A lot of the homes had waist height fences as well. Compare that to Nigeria where these coons are from.

Toyota and other multinationals moving to Ghana are not stupid, and all these equals tons of jobs.

By the way, President Biden has created 3 million jobs since he took office on Jan 20. That's a record and that's possible because he did one thing that the vile Trump never did. He tackled the coronavirus pandemic up front and now we see the results of the economy booming and many parts of the country opening up. Good going President Biden and objective Americans are solidly behind you.

It's not difficult to decipher when a loser in life projects himself to be what he's not. Someone with unhealthy fetish about a country he has no Social Security Number but happens to know about America more than Americans. The brainless coon who think of Biden as a Racist that 90% of African Americans voted for last November. That means the unpaid Coon who never step inside of an Aircraft in his life knows better than African Americans that voted for President Biden. If you and your fellow Coons are so smart in choosing leaderships, how come you live under a despotic leader who loves to whack your type on their heads when they do not follow the Government script. Born a loser and probably die a loser not amounting to much in life. By the way for the loser Doxxing coon, gather your brethren in thoughts and come up with what you can spare and yours truly who is in his 90s will triple it to go to a worthy charity in Nigeria.
