For several days the pontificating media have been parading around the various jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial, using the mostly white women to frame the deliberations as sexist and insensitive to the emotional plight of a woman who strangled her three children to death with an exercise band.
Millions of middle-age, suburban, angry white females have proclaimed that American men should not have an opinion in the case while simultaneously using toxic sympathy as a weapon to defend the murderer. The previously described “one male holdout juror” who created a mistrial by failing to find the murdering mother not guilty, has been criticized directly or by implication by an aligned leftist media.
Today, things changed. Today, all the toxic, murder-supporting, leftist feminists found out the lone male holdout was a black man in his 30’s. Suddenly, you can hear a pin drop as silence falls upon the professional AWFLs (Affluent, White, Female, Leftists).
Gayle King was interviewing juror Paula Devlin on CBS Mornings today, and as she was maneuvering through the narrative to hold the progressive banner in a certain direction – she asked the questions that froze her.
The Juror, Paula Devlin explained the jury panel consisted of nine women and three men, with 11 white jurors and one person of color. “Was the person of color a woman or a man?” King asked. After Devlin said the juror was a man, King sought clarification. “Is the holdout juror … a Black man?” she asked. “Yes,” Devlin replied. “A Black man is the holdout juror?” King asked incredulously. “Yes,” Devlin said. Stunned with disbelief and now incapable of formatting the DEI agenda, “Woah, I have to sit with that for just a second,” King said. WATCH:
.
That explains why the media newsrooms, producers and media executives have not put the holdout juror through the traditional gauntlet of doxxing, vitriol, isolation, ridicule, personal targeting, marginalization and hate-filled public shaming. The professional left doesn’t know what to do.
If the holdout was a white male juror, he would already be under attack. Now, they’re stuck.

The missing aspect in all USMCA/CUSMA trade discussions is the simple fact that President Trump and U.S. Trade Ambassador Jamieson Greer would prefer bilateral trade agreements. The reason is simple and is highlighted in all the problems with the three-party USMCA.
Two countries can negotiate based on their individual interests; multiple country assemblies get complicated. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his “middle power” strategy of multiple interests assembling to create larger influence simply doesn’t work in trade discussion. That’s the bottom line.
Reuters is reporting the obvious. Mexico and the United States are racing to reach a bilateral trade deal before the U.S. midterm elections in less than eight weeks, according to six sources in both countries familiar with the talks, an effort made more urgent by the collapse of Canadian negotiations with Washington. Both USTR Jamieson Greer and President Trump have previously said the deal with Mexico would likely come first.
Mexico has played this very well. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has not participated in any antagonisms toward the U.S. position; they are simply negotiating for their best outcome. The Mexican government officials don’t try to hide their U.S. dependency under the misguided premise of patriotism. They understand the nature of the relationship.
If President Sheinbaum wants to keep a strong economy, she needs the USA. Both leaders want a trade agreement; it’s business beyond politics. Canada on the other hand is playing pure politics and trying to carve out a deal for themselves the rest of the world doesn’t have. Canada wants to be excluded from the baseline tariffs applied to everyone, that’s not going to happen.
CANADA – As noted in the Globe and Mail, “Former Canadian ambassador to the U.S. Kirsten Hillman said she doesn’t believe Canada and the United States will resume formal negotiations soon.” {Source, non-paywall} Kirsten Hillman served as ambassador and acting ambassador to the U.S. for more than six years and five months, ending in February. “In any trade negotiation, there comes a point when countries articulate their red lines and hold firm to them. Canada has reached that point in these discussions,” Hillman said. “The main message that people in the United States need to understand is Canada will not accept a deal that tanks our steel industry, or tanks our auto sector, and nor should we,” the former envoy said.
Canada believes they can negotiate a deal that removes the section 232 steel and aluminum tariffs, as well as eliminate the baseline tariffs. That is not going to happen.
When announcing the baseline tariffs last year President Trump specifically said all trade relationships would change.
The US informed all of its trading partners it was changing the trading relationship, with the U.S imposing a base line tariff on all imports into the US. The reasons were simple. The U.S wants to raise revenue to address the deficit and debt; and Trump is facilitating the reshoring of manufacturing in key sectors of the economy.
Mexico understands this and can see the value in a strong American economy lifting up the Mexican economy; Canada, filled with hubris, does not share that same outlook.
Mark Carney, on behalf of his British Commonwealth interests, wants to control the expansion of the American economy. Two entirely different approaches, and as a result the bilateral strategy with two separate trade agreements becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
REUTERS– Mexico and the United States are racing to reach a bilateral trade deal before the U.S. midterm elections in less than eight weeks, according to six sources in both countries familiar with the talks, an effort made more urgent by the collapse of Canadian negotiations with Washington.
“We both want to reach a deal before the midterms,” said one Mexico-based source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private talks.
The negotiations are aimed at striking an interim bilateral bargain under which Mexico could win relief from some U.S. tariffs while addressing U.S. demands on areas including automotive content and Chinese investment.
While no formal deadline exists, officials in both countries see political benefits in reaching a deal before the November 3 elections when U.S. President Donald Trump’s Republican Party risks losing control of Congress. An accord would enable both leaders to tout a win as they face domestic political challenges.
“Time is of the essence for the Mexican government,” said the Mexican source, citing concerns over a weak economy and falling credit ratings on its debt. The source added that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum’s administration, which this week presented its 2027 budget, views a U.S. trade deal as critical to reassuring markets and investors.
A spokesperson for Mexico’s economy ministry said, “There are no specific deadlines at this time,” stressing the government’s ongoing commitment to dialogue with Washington.
The U.S. Trade Representative and White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
MEXICO CONCILIATORY – Mexico’s push to reach a deal comes after trade talks between the United States and Canada collapsed last month, plunging the longtime allies into a bitter tariff dispute. […] The collapse of Canada’s talks has reinforced Mexico’s strategy of avoiding direct confrontation with Washington, betting that cooperation will yield tariff relief.
The Mexican source described the country’s approach as “play nice and continue to cooperate.” Mexico sends more than 80% of its exports to its northern neighbor.
Reflecting the intensified pace, U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick met virtually with Sheinbaum on Thursday about trade.
The meeting, originally scheduled in person, came less than two weeks after Sheinbaum proposed legislation giving the government new powers to review and block foreign acquisitions of Mexican companies.
The measure, which would create an investment-screening regime similar to those in the United States and Canada, is widely seen as a response to U.S. pressure for closer scrutiny of Chinese investment. (more)
We have watched this dynamic play out for almost two years, and we watched the original framework constructed in 2017 and 2018 before that. I am often asked when we will see the ultimate trigger to eliminate the trilateral complexity thereby setting Canada on the path to economic contraction. My answer today is the same as it was two years ago.
We will see the Trilateral USMCA termination notice after the United States and Mexico successfully conclude the Bilateral free trade agreement.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has tried to influence Mexico by requesting President Sheinbaum not negotiate with the U.S. bilaterally. However, Sheinbaum is looking at the reality of the situation and unwilling to put her nation through the economic chaos that Carney has created.
Mark Carney and his trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc have lied to the Canadian people. The Canadian government is playing politics. Claudia Sheinbaum and Marcelo Ebrand have been honest with the Mexican people. Mexico is focused on the economics.
Things are proceeding exactly as we would expect.
In the bigger picture, Mexico wall be under the “Shield of the Americas” both economically and with national security.

The 25th anniversary of the attacks on 9-11 present a day to reflect, remember and pay tribute to those we lost. I am sure most of us remember exactly where we were at the moment when we found out our nation was under attack. Our nation was forever changed by those moments on September 11th, 2001.
Perhaps we can share our memories together as we think about the anniversary of this date.
Where were you on that day? And what memories are most vivid for you?

Promethean Action’s Barbara Boyd presents her review of the election outcome in Germany, the alignment of Canada with the EU and the Ukraine negotiations headed by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
“A Saxony-Anhalt provincial election saw Germany’s nationalist AfD win 43.8% to the next party’s 17.2%, prompting alarm in the British press and among EU-linked elites because the AfD campaign pledged to end open borders and halt German funding for the Ukraine war. The script argues the surge reflects a broader European revolt driven largely by economics: China’s industrial strategy and competition are squeezing Germany’s Mittelstand, with the Wall Street Journal cited on job losses and a shift toward importing more advanced machinery from China, while green policies, nuclear shutdowns, and the ban on cheap Russian energy have pushed prices 40–50% higher and cut energy-intensive production by 15%.
It links Germany’s downturn to EU war-mobilization plans, casts doubt on Mark Carney’s planned EU-Canada alignment, and contrasts that with Trump-era peace efforts, including a Trump-Putin call, corruption probes in Ukraine, and U.S. officials downplaying inflation impacts from Canada’s tariffs.”

The European Central Bank raised interest rates a quarter of a percent claiming the effort will reduce energy prices. However, the primary cause of higher energy costs is energy policy not monetary policy.
As you can see, Europe is blaming the Iran conflict, and by extension blaming President Trump for inflicting higher oil and gas prices. Yet in reality, it was the European decision to cut themselves off of Russian oil and gas that led to their massive price increases.
In essence, if you ask yourself how far the EU collective is willing to go in order to combat the fictitious threat represented by Russia’s conflict with non-EU state Ukraine, it appears there is no upper limit. Rather than assist in a resolution of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, they are willing to keep fueling the war and diminishing their own economy in the process.
From the perspective of the welfare of the average European, none of this makes sense. This is bureaucratic ideology running amok.
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The European Central Bank raised interest rates Thursday to cool inflation that is being fed by high oil prices from the Iran war. The decision was supported by a stronger-than-expected economy that suggests businesses can weather the higher borrowing costs.
The central bank for the 21 EU member countries that use the euro currency raised its benchmark rate by a quarter percentage point to 2.50% at a meeting held in Berlin, away from the bank’s Frankfurt headquarters.
Bank President Christine Lagarde said at her news conference that “the conflict in the Middle East continues to generate inflation pressures, and inflation is set to remain well above target for an extended period.”
“The outlook remains highly uncertain, with risks to the upside for inflation and to the downside for economic growth,” she said, adding that the bank would make future rate decisions meeting by meeting based on incoming data. She said the central bank would not commit to any particular path for rates before seeing the data. (read more)
It is ironic his announcement comes from Berlin as the German economy announces the loss of 100,000 auto workers while the EU Central Bank says, “a stronger than expected economy.”
Ever the faithful leftist WEF member, Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk notes that Poland is paying the highest energy prices in the world, but he faithfully supports the EU agenda. Because it’s Russia’s fault, and of course he does.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio continues to impress; however, his response to the Wall Street Journalist narrative engineer is absolutely brilliant.
Following visits to Colombia and Ecuador, Secretary Rubio is in Peru today to discuss the “Shield of The Americas”; a joint collaboration and intensely strategic partnership between the United States and Latin American countries to eliminate corruption, arrest narcotraffickers and remove all corrupt elements.
During a news conference with Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori, Secretary Rubio addressed the Peruvian people in both English and Spanish as he explained the specifics of the Shield and what the partnership entails. During the Q&A session of the press conference, a Wall Street Journal narrative engineer asked a question about sovereignty and the U.S. acting unilaterally if Peru didn’t agree to address the threat.
Essentially, Rubio responded by telling the journalist to stop working for the ‘Bureau of Imaginary Problems’. I have prompted the video at the point of the question and then provided the transcript from that moment to the end. The overall English audio-dub is not bad, so the entire presser is well worth watching:
[Transcript] – QUESTION: Vera Bergengruen with The Wall Street Journal. Mr. Secretary, you have stressed that the members of the Shield of the Americas are sovereign partners. But if one of these governments refuses to act against one of these groups that Washington deems a terrorist threat, does the U.S. reserve the right to act unilaterally, including here in Peru?
And President Fujimori: (Via interpreter) The question wanted more information about the partner of the Shield of the Americas. This will include to collaborate with the United States here in the country.
SECRETARY RUBIO: I’ll answer that question in English and Spanish. I don’t know if you guys heard it. Basically, the gist of the question is, if you’re a member of the Shield and refuse to act, does the United States – will the United States act unilaterally?
Well, if we were going to act unilaterally, why would we need the Shield? We’re not – if we were interested in acting unilaterally, we have the capacity to act unilaterally. The reason why we’re not doing it is because we want to do it with our partners. It’s the most effective way to do it. For us to confront transnational criminal groups, we need to do it inside the sovereign territory of countries, and we want to partner with those countries. It’s in their interest to do it. That is why we have the Shield. That is why the Shield exists.
People make up these problems that don’t exist. They’re getting ahead of themselves with these – these ridiculous sort of things that no one’s even contemplating. The bottom line is the reason why we have a Shield is because we choose to act in partnership with our partners. So it’s very simple. This is not very complicated; let me explain this to you. It’s a very, very simple equation. We have a country that says we want to defeat these criminals, these terrorists, these evil, despicable human beings; we want to defeat them. We want to work with America to defeat them. And so we say, of course we want to work – what should we say to them? No, we don’t want to work with you? No, we’d like you not to do anything about these groups?
We have a president here who has said very clearly – not to us, to the people of her country; it’s why they elected her – I am going to defeat these groups that extort you, I am going to defeat these groups that kill you, I am going to defeat these groups that terrorize your children in our communities. And the United States has said we’re so happy you’re doing that, it’s important for us as well, and we’re going to partner with you. That is the purpose of the Shield, to shield the region against this threat to the sovereignty of every one of our nations.
(Via interpreter – Rubio Spanish) The question was if the United States will act unilaterally if the member country of the Shield will not act. It’s a ridiculous question because if we’re going to do it unilaterally, then why would we have the Shield? The reason why we have the Shield is because we don’t want to act unilaterally. We want to act together. We want to act jointly.
Why do we want it? It’s very simple. These are terrorist groups. Please be clear, these are not criminals stealing a bank. These are terrorist groups extorting people, extorting and doing a lot of – committing multiple crimes, things that you cannot even think about. They’re evil. So these – we need to defeat them, and we need to work together. When we see that there is a leader, a president that was elected with that promise to the people – and she is compliant with this; she will defeat and confront these groups – we will support her. Because it’s of our interest as well to work with you, of course, to your country or a sovereign country.
And this is an enormous responsibility to confront these groups, and we will do our best to support to be able so she can comply with that promise. She will help us, but we will help them as well. This is how the partnerships work, this is how allies work, and this is what is the Shield. It is a powerful partnership against these diabolic groups that have terrorized the region for many, many years and through multiple leaders, and many, many, many political leaders from multiple countries don’t have the courage to confront them, or at many times they were involved. And this impunity will no longer be accepted, and this is what we are seeing, and in other countries as well that are a member of the Shield of the Americans.
PRESIDENT FUJIMORI: (Via interpreter) I want to reflect on a question. When we requested powers, this request was filed with congress by the prime minister. We requested to declare these criminal groups as hostile and terrorist groups. This mechanism will be fundamental.
Second of all, we want to coordinate and strengthen the justice administration system to face decisively these criminal organizations. All of these mechanisms will help us obtain information through the Shield of the Americas and the different government agencies.
(In English) So we are extremely happy, and we are thankful for Peru to be part now of the Shield of the Americas.
QUESTION: (Via interpreter) Ayrton Luera from ATV Noticias. My question was with this incorporation of Peru into Shield of Americas, Mr. Rubio, would be – will we expect military operations or emergency operations in Peruvian territory?
And if so, Madam President, could you tell us about the conversations that have taken place, if these interventions respect Peruvian sovereignty? And Mr. Rubio, what would be your answer to this public response of the Chinese embassy after your column in the press?
SECRETARY RUBIO: (Via interpreter) I don’t know what the Chinese embassy said. I’m not here to talk about what the Chinese embassy said. So, but the first question that you asked, we’re going to be – this is a sovereign country. You have your laws, you have a process. It’s a democratic country. You have a system, government system, a legal system; you will comply to that. We’re willing to do all what we can to assist you. This is going to be based on the cooperation that you request. We don’t want to be less, offer less, but not offer more than what you’re requesting. We’ll work together with this government that has an interest in defeating and have an obligation it’s committed to confront and defeat these criminal groups. So we’re not going to do anything that is outside the legal framework of your country or outside what the government will request.
(In English) The question was would we do anything in the country, military activities and the like – we’re not going do anything that our partners don’t ask us to do. This is a democracy. This is a republic. They have laws, they have a system of government, they have regulations, they have a process they have to go through. We are not – we don’t want to do less than what you ask of us, but we’re not going to do more than what you ask of us. We are partners and we are allies. That’s how partnerships and alliances work.
PRESIDENT FUJIMORI: (Via interpreter) I wanted to mention that even before we entered the Shield of the Americas our police force was being trained by the FBI. Even Great Britain was assisting us in this training and in the strengthening of our police force. And with our entry into the Shield of Americas we will have a more solid position.
With regard to the entry of troops, there is a special provision in the constitution. Every time there is this kind of entry, a special authorization is requested to the congress of the republic. Of course, we will uphold this rule. Peru’s sovereignty is intact. We will recover order, tranquility, and peace for all of the Peruvian people. For this reason, we thank Secretary Rubio for his presence and to be here to be able to announce that Peru will be part of the Shield of the Americas. Thank you so much.
MODERATOR: (Via interpreter) We will now listen to the last question of this conference.
QUESTION: Eric Martin with Bloomberg News. Secretary Rubio, as you get ready to conclude this three-day visit to Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, what is your message to the people of the region about the benefits of partnering with the U.S. and to voters in neighboring Brazil as they face elections in one month from now in some of the same security and other challenges of countries in the region?
And President Fujimori – Presidente Fujimori: (Via interpreter) After the visit of Secretary Rubio —
SECRETARY RUBIO: (Via interpreter) Oh, he spoke Spanish. You’re tricky.
(In English) I didn’t know he spoke Spanish.
(Via interpreter) I can no longer speak Spanish because he’ll know.
(In English) I’m sorry.
QUESTION: (Via interpreter) Thank you, Secretary. President Fujimori, after the visit of Secretary Rubio, after today, and after being six weeks in office, are you prepared to take more steps to associate and work with the United States despite the massive investment of China in Peru during the last years, including the Port of Chancay? Thank you.
SECRETARY RUBIO: (Via interpreter) Thank you. He speaks Spanish. I mean, I was – I’m no longer going to be able to speak Spanish in front of you. It’s a joke, obviously.
First, what’s our message? Let’s be clear on this. I’ve said for more than 20 years, unfortunately, administrations of both political parties, they’ve ignored the region. The focus was on different parts of the world. If you study – because I have two jobs: Secretary of State and also I am a consultant to the national security for President Trump at the Security Council. So our National Security Strategy speaks very openly about we will give priority to this side of the hemisphere. Why? Because we’re part of it, because geography is real, and the problems of the hemisphere impacts directly. It doesn’t mean that other problems outside this hemisphere are not important, but what really happens here in South America, Central America, and the Caribbean has a direct impact to the United States.
Number two, we have a lot of people in common. How many U.S. Americans come visit, have businesses here, are tourists, live here, and vice versa? We have very – a very strong bond we cannot ignore, so we’ll give the priority. And not rhetorically – because there has been other administrations, oh, no, yes, we are focused on the side of the hemisphere, but they are not doing things, they haven’t done things. We are going to be focusing. First, it’s important for us, Peru as a country, as part of our national interest.
So this visit is not unexpected. I’ve done this visit as a senator, I’m doing this as the Secretary of State, and we will continue doing this type of visits, and we will have concrete efforts. It’s not just simply the Shield of the Americas. We’ll have other efforts jointly to confront the interests that we have in common with our friends and our allies. And we want all the time – this is the most important. This is very, very important in democracy. When a president is elected and the president decides to cooperate and work with the United States, it’s super important that we can show the people that there are benefits for the people to get a partnership with the United States and work together, not only at the security level but as well trade and economically speaking.
And we need to try to do that, and we want to make sure that the countries that cooperate with us are going to be able to respond to their voters: This is the consequence, the result of our cooperation with the United States.
(In English) Very briefly, the question was in English: What is our message? Our message is what we’ve been saying all along. We have a National Security Strategy. I helped write it. And it talks about how the Western Hemisphere is a priority for this administration – not a rhetorical priority, not a symbolic priority, not a ceremonial priority – a real priority. That’s why I’ve traveled extensively in the region, that’s why we’ve received visitors from the region, and that’s why we’re here today. Because geography is real. The things that happen in this hemisphere directly impact us. We’re not doing anybody a favor here. Us getting involved in the region is not a favor; it is essential to our own security, to our own prosperity, to our own well-being in the United States of America.
And this administration is committed to this. And there’ll be more if – people talk about the Shield of the Americas. I’m very proud of it. There’s going to be more initiatives like that in multiple realms where we can work together. But for this administration, this hemisphere is a priority, and you will continue to see it demonstrated over and over and over again.
PRESIDENT FUJIMORI: (Via interpreter) Peru is part of APEC, the Asian Pacific economic forum; the United States too. And Peru has a significant production of minerals, fish products, agricultural products, and we will continue with this effort of having trade exchanges with different countries from Asia, from the Pacific, and from Europe of course. But today, with the presence of Secretary Rubio and the agreement signed in recent days, and with this direct collaboration that will be reciprocal, we begin a new era of relations between Peru and the United States. And these relations will surely strengthen both countries.
So thank you, Secretary Rubio, for your presence. We hope you can visit us again. And we have already talked about other dates where we will be able to exchange more ideas and re-establish this cooperation, bridges between both countries. Thank you. (Applause.)
MODERATOR: (Via interpreter) We would like to thank the press for their questions, and we would like to invite President Fujimori and Secretary Rubio to step up for an official photograph. We hope that you can move forward to be able to capture this photo. This act has ended. Thank you for your presence. We wish you a good afternoon, and we will now like to request the Peruvian press to remain in your places while we wait for the other part of the press to leave. Thank you.

Joseph diGenova confirmed to NBC, “it was an honor and a privilege to serve the president and the department.” He declined to elaborate on the reason he’s out. “I’m moving on,” diGenova said.
diGenova’s technical job description was “Counselor to the Attorney General.”
I would frame the matter in this context, ABC previously reported that Joseph diGenova abruptly quit the investigative taskforce following pressure from Main Justice to achieve actionable results and not endless process. In part because diGenova was aligned with the Special Government Employee John Solomon approach to investigative activity; which is to say, living a life inside the process as if the investigation itself was the ends, not the means.
From experience dealing with these folks, a Trumpian level of frustration is warranted. Remember, the generally accepted DC rule is that no investigative outcome that touches on political considerations will be released within 90-days of an election. diGenova was on a clock, the clock ran out, diGenova quit. It’s as simple as that. All very unfortunate.
[VIA ABC] – A Trump loyalist who had been tapped to oversee a sprawling and controversial DOJ conspiracy investigation targeting political foes of President Donald Trump abruptly resigned Thursday, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
Joe diGenova submitted his resignation to Attorney General Todd Blanche amid what sources described as growing frustrations from Trump and senior DOJ officials regarding his work on the so-called “grand conspiracy” investigation based out of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida.
Sources said diGenova had pitched himself to the president as someone who could potentially ramp up the conspiracy investigation, which thus far has resulted in no criminal prosecutions despite dozens of subpoenas issued over the past year to various officials involved in past investigations of Trump.
DiGenova did not immediately respond to a request for comment from ABC News. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment.
The investigation, as detailed by Justice Department officials and other allies of the White House, purports to be examining intelligence officials and others who have investigated the president and his inner circle dating back from his 2016 campaign to the criminal probes he faced after leaving office in 2021.

It is obvious now why former Ukraine Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, 35, has launched a weapons manufacturing business. On September 1, Fedorov together with Palantir CEO Alex Karp announced, “plans to directly develop combat robots, low-cost high-speed interception drones, and AI-based low-cost missiles through the new company.” {source}
Today, while signing a 100-year pact between Canada and Ukraine [SEE HERE], Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a $1 billion worth of investment and support for Ukraine, including the building of drones and weapons for Ukraine and Canadian defenses. [SEE HERE]
Canada will use the funds given to Ukraine and also used in collaboration for their own defense systems, in the accounting ledger to bring them into compliance with NATO military defense requirements. However, beyond the accounting gimmicks and tricks, there are reconstruction funds obligated by Carney to Zelenskyy that will be handled by former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland in her new position inside Ukraine.
Zelenskyy and Carney signed the 100-year pact during a ceremony earlier this afternoon. Carney is also helping Zelenskyy establish a more westernized information control system aligning Ukraine media operations in the same format as Canadian government control of media.
Approximately $350 million to deliver critical air defence interceptors through the United States’ Joint Ukraine Multinational Program – Services, Training and Articles Rapid Timeline (JUMPSTART). This mechanism leverages financial donations from Allies to aid Ukraine in addressing its evolving defence needs, including procuring critical equipment.
Nearly $23 million in funding to bolster the capabilities of Ukraine’s security architecture – helping detect, prevent, and respond to hybrid threats to civilian safety. This includes both support for Ukraine’s police, national guard, military, and frontline communities affected by Russia’s aggression, as well as funding to combat threats and disinformation.
Providing nearly $435 million in new loan guarantees to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Developmentto support energy security, including winter gas purchases and secondary energy generators to produce electricity during shortages.
Allocating $200 million in concessional loans through Export Development Canada to support Ukraine’s reconstruction. It will help Ukraine repair critical infrastructure by enabling Canadian companies to support critical projects.
Providing an additional $10 million to the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, for a total of $100 million, to support Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, including the procurement and delivery of critical energy equipment to improve the resilience of Ukrainians to energy shocks.
Providing $2 million to the International Energy Agency (IEA) Joint Work Programme to support Ukraine’s Energy Resource Development. This funding will strengthen Ukraine’s energy resilience, provide regulatory support, and advance clean energy projects. {source}
“The first declaration, the Canada-Ukraine Declaration for a 100-Year Partnership, along with the joint statement, establishes a new roadmap which will bolster the comprehensive strategic partnership between Canada and Ukraine. The new partnership will focus on defence innovation and cooperation, economic growth, trade and reconstruction, and people-to-people ties – underpinned by unwavering support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and long-term Euro-Atlantic integration. The partnership will extend to economic collaboration and areas where Canadian know-how can best be utilised. The second declaration, the Joint Declaration on Enhancement of the Defence and Security Cooperationbetween Ukraine and Canada, establishes a long-term defence partnership centred on defence industrial cooperation in cutting-edge technologies, co-development and co-production of defence equipment, and information sharing.”
Currently there are dozens of open investigations of Ukraine government officials for bribery and corruption.
On the receiving end of this specific Canadian money, we see former Ukraine Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and former Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. Fedorov will handle the defense funds, Freeland will handle the reinvestment funds, and each will apportion (skim) the customary indulgency fees to the Ukraine officials who present the front face of the network.
In the video below, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy take questions on Russia, sanctions, U.S. negotiations and Ukraine’s defense needs. Carney says Canada is preparing further sanctions targeting Russia’s ballistic missile supply chain, shadow fleet and financial networks. Zelenskiy says Ukraine trusts American defense support but will “trust and check” negotiations, while calling for stronger air defenses, drone cooperation and international efforts to end the war.

Yesterday you might have seen explosive headlines around the world proclaiming the airplane carrying Volodymyr Zelenskyy from Moldova was hit or almost hit by a drone strike. It never happened. It was entirely FAKE NEWS.
This is, once again, why we continue to refer to this conflict as ‘World War Reddit’. Almost every report about the Russia-Ukraine conflict is fake, fabricated, made up out of nothing. The drone strike story was entirely manufactured. Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre made it up.
The reality is the drone in question was detected inside Ukraine over 160km from where Zelenskyy was in Chisinau International Airport. Zelenskyy and/or Moldova itself was never under any threat.
“After 5:20 p.m. (local time, 4:20 p.m. Paris time), authorities confirmed that the drone had fallen and exploded about 160 km from Chisinau International Airport. Flight restrictions were then lifted and the Ukrainian president’s plane took off later than planned,” he added. A source in the Ukrainian presidency told AFP that Zelensky was at the slightest risk was “exaggerated”. {SOURCE}
To give you an idea where the drone was, see the map below.
The drone was flying and landed somewhere in that RED BOX, deep inside Ukraine, 160 kilometers from Chisinau.
