Canada's rapid industrialization following its genesis during the Second World War, was largely facilitated by the foreign direct investment of American capital.
The new long wave of economic activity in Canada, based on the industrialization of new technologies, will be similarly financed in large part by foreign direct investment — capital formation being a historical problem always facing Canada —
...but the U.S. is less likely now to be that source of capital. The expectation that Canada will be able to preserve the tariff free structures affecting its automotive industry under CUSMA in the negotiations this year is waning.

1/ Today's British newspaper headlines show a unified wall of outrage against Donald Trump, across the political spectrum. It's a sign of how a reported plan to punish the UK by 'reassessing the status of the Falkland Islands' has crossed a line that's redder than red. ⬇️ Image

2/ Reuters reported yesterday that an internal Pentagon memo, said to have been written by Under Secretary of War [sic] for Policy Elbridge Colby, suggests reviewing US support for Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands.
3/ The Falkland Islands were invaded in 1982 by Argentina, which claims the islands for itself, and recovered by the UK in a ten-week war which cost about 900 lives. The islanders are a British Overseas Territory whose inhabitants have voted overwhelmingly to stay with the UK.

“I am Ukrainian. If you [Russians] come here, I will have no choice but to kill every one of you who signs a contract.”

A Ukrainian soldier crashed a Russian university recruitment Zoom call in Krasnodar after posing as a Russian drone officer — The Telegraph. 1/
“The front line has barely moved in four years and Russia’s invasion created “a cemetery the size of two countries. Any Russian who steps onto Ukrainian soil will be killed.” 2/
The call took place at Kuban State Agrarian University, where students were being recruited for Russia’s drone forces. Staff cut the feed only after he warned that all their faces were recorded. 3/

🧵The recent post by @USWPColby, which discusses a strategy for @NATO 3.0, mostly revisits familiar ideas. Most importantly, it retreads legacy assumptions about Germany's leading role in the US-European alliance without considering the new geopolitical realities in #Europe. 1/7
West Germany was America's key ally in @NATO because it was the key point of contact with the Warsaw Pact, had a strong economy, population resources, and critically, the irreducible national interest to resist Soviet expansionism at all costs. Today's Germany is different. 2/7
In contrast, today's #Germany is a Central European power, geographically protected from Russia by @NATO allies North, East and South. As shown in the post-Cold War decades, especially during the Merkel era, the Berlin Republic no longer sees the Russian threat as existential.3/7

1/n Following their seizure of power, the National Socialists drove Jewish students out of the public schools. The measures to affect this were introduced via the “Statute to combat the overcrowding of German Schools and Universities” promulgated on April 25, 1933. Under this law Image
2/n the number of children of “non-Aryan” descent attending a school was capped at 5 percent. In the case of new enrollments, the percentage allowed was reduced to just 1.5 percent. At first, primary schools were excluded. Following the November Pogroms, it was completely
3/n forbidden for Jewish students to attend public schools. On 15 November 1938, the Nazi state Ministry for Science & Education issued an order stating that "...it is unacceptable to expect that any German teacher provide instruction to Jewish schoolchildren. It should also be

You've been making du'a for years.

Same words. Same tears. Same requests.

But nobody told you there are du'as
Allah has already decided He will not answer.

Here are the 4 silent blockers destroying your du'a:
1. Haram in your income.

The Prophet ﷺ told us about a man:
Dusty. Exhausted. Hands raised to the sky crying,
"Ya Rabb… Ya Rabb…"

Then he paused and said:

"But his food is haram. His drink is haram. His clothing is haram.
How then could his du'a be answered?"
(Muslim)
You're crying at 3AM with the most sincere heart…
but the money funding your life has a question mark over it.

Clean the source.
Then watch the gates crack open.

What do Progressives want to progress towards?

Compassion, justice, equality, progress — the language of the left always sounds noble.

But to understand what modern wokeness actually is, you have to follow the lineage back nearly 200 years.

Ideas evolve like viruses.

As society builds immunity to a bad idea, academics gain-of-function it.

The scientists of ideology tinker until it mutates into something more contagious, more destructive, and harder to detect.

The dialectic.

It started with a retooling of Hegel — two opposing ideas, thesis and antithesis, collide to form a new one, synthesis.

This became the engine of supposed "progress."

At the risk of giving it any more airtime, the cartoonishly nonsensical "Israeli dogs rape Palestinians" claim has a source worth naming.

It's the handiwork of Ramy Abdu, head of the Hamas front group called Euro-Med.

Let's once again get to know Ramy 🧵 Image
First of all, Euro-Med has been responsible for some of the most absurdly hysterical lies from Gaza, including the one about Israel "vaporizing" Palestinians into dust Image
Ramy was designated by Israel as a Hamas operative since 2013, by the way.

He's got familial ties to Hamas as well.

Here's him just last year admitting that his brother-in-law was a senior Hamas terrorist — and a high-ranking UNRWA official. Image

Exertion and PEM.
A new paper studied people with long COVID using a 2-day (!) submaximal CPET protocol, combined with NIRS measurement on the calf muscle.
The authors looked at what happens to breathing, performance, and muscle oxygenation during repeated exertion🧵
The key finding.
In the long COVID group, muscle tissue oxygen saturation (TSI%) initially increased during exercise, but it did not stay elevated for as long as it did in controls. (Thomas 2026)
On day 2, this pattern was even worse. In long COVID, TSI% stayed above resting levels for a shorter period, while controls maintained elevated muscle oxygenation more effectively during exercise.
