Dean Allison, a conservative member of the Canadian parliament, announced the inquiry last week and called on the public to share their vaccine injury stories. Allison said that the country's previous citizens' inquiry performed "valuable work" in documenting the experiences of ordinary Canadians, but lacked broader participation from legislators, governments, public health officials and other institutions.

Canada has launched an inquiry into COVID-19 vaccine injuries and is calling on the public to share their stories.

Dean Allison, a conservative member of the Canadian parliament, announced the inquiry last week. The inquiry aims to gather testimony from patients, clinicians, researchers and policy experts, TrialSite News reported.

Writing on X, Allison invited the public to submit stories of COVID-19 vaccine injuries, either their own or those of family members. He said the parliament will hear the stories between September 8 and 11. "People will be heard," Allison wrote.

Sazan Island, Albania
Ecological national treasure Sazan Island, Albania, is threatened by an elite-oriented commercial development group led by Jared Kushner
"One week later, we are still here, stronger than yesterday," said one group opposing a proposed luxury resort project supported by Jared Kushner.

Albanians took to the streets in droves for the eighth consecutive day on Sunday to protest a proposed $1.6 billion luxury resort complex backed by US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, one of several investors in the project, which opponents say is both corrupt and disastrous for wetlands and wildlife.

"One week later, we are still here, stronger than yesterday," said the Albanian Ornithological Society, a leading critic of the proposed development. "Millions around the world are united in one voice for nature, for justice, and for the protection of what belongs to everyone, standing for every protected area in Albania."

Comment: Up the Flamingo Revolution! Albanians refuse to let their "leader" sell out their country.






Alex Christophoru interviews Albanian Armando Mema who gives the background and history of Sazan Island. Kushner's project will destroy a unique national treasure that is currently accessible to all Albanians. Where all all the EU Greenies?

Concerns over the New World screwworm (NWS) have been building for the last 12 months as the deadly cattle parasite spread through Mexico and the Trump administration attempted to prevent its spread into the U.S. Those concerns have now turned into red alerts after the USDA confirmed a single case in Texas, marking the first U.S. detection in years.
"A case of NWS may have been detected in South Texas. The sample is now at USDA's National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, lowa for confirmatory testing. We will provide updates the moment results are available," USDA wrote on X.

We are being warned that a "Godzilla El Niño" could absolutely devastate global food production

The waters of the Pacific Ocean are getting extremely warm, and that could provide fuel for an immensely destructive climate event that is unlike anything we have ever seen before. Even the United Nations has issued an ominous warning about the El Niño event that is in the long-term forecast, because it will have a dramatic impact on every man, woman and child on the entire planet. We are being told that there is more than an 80 percent chance that El Niño conditions will arrive by the end of next month due to rapidly warming equatorial waters in the Pacific. Meanwhile, an unprecedented "9,000-mile marine heatwave" has developed in the North Pacific. Many experts are concerned that the confluence of those two factors could produce a "Godzilla El Niño"...
The chance of an El Niño event emerging by July is now over 80 percent, which will likely make 2026 one of the hottest years on record. At the same time, an exceptionally large 9,000-mile marine heatwave has been forming in the North Pacific since the end of 2025. These extreme warming events are now evolving together across the Pacific. Scientists are increasingly concerned that the warm water will fuel a "super" or "Godzilla" El Niño, potentially prolonging marine heatwaves, disrupting fisheries and ecosystems, and intensifying global climate impacts well into 2027.

Rashida Tlaib forces Democrats to go on the record on Israeli aggression

Rashida Tlaib's bill calling to end U.S. support for Israel's ongoing invasion of Lebanon upset Democratic Party leaders who want to avoid a vote on Israel. Now, Congress may take a groundbreaking vote to rein in Israeli aggression.

On Thursday afternoon, the House of Representatives voted down a bill submitted by Congress member Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) that would have forced the President to end support for Israel's ongoing invasion of Lebanon.

Ninety-one Democrats supported the bill, a surprising number, and as did one Republican (outgoing Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie), reflecting the changing tides of Middle East politics on Capitol Hill. Still, the 177 Democrats who voted against it show there is still a long way to go.

But Tlaib wasn't done. Knowing this bill would go down to defeat, on Wednesday, she introduced a second war powers resolution. This updated version, which was written in consultation with Ranking Member of the Foreign Affairs Committee Gregory Meeks (D-NY), allows for the U.S. to maintain its presence in Lebanon as long as it refrains from joining in the fighting and the Lebanese government continues to request it. That bill has considerably more Democratic support, though it will need to be fully supported by the entire Democratic caucus and secure a few Republican votes to pass.

Satellite imagery appears to show damage at US air base in Kuwait after Iranian attack

Images appear to contradict US claims that they intercepted all Iranian missiles fired at the Gulf country.

Satellite imagery appears to show damage to a US air base in Kuwait following Iranian strikes on Wednesday.

New imagery of the site released by Soar Atlas seems to show a destroyed shelter at the US Ali Al Salem Air Base, despite US Central Command (Centcom) insisting that all the missiles and drones targeting the site were "defeated". Soar Atlas noted that the area surrounding the base "appears charred, with multiple impact craters visible nearby".

In a statement, Centcom said that Iran had fired "several ballistic missiles toward regional neighbours", but claimed that "all failed to hit their intended targets". It added that the two missiles fired at Kuwait "fell short or broke apart enroute" and that three missiles launched at Bahrain "were immediately intercepted" by air defences.

Kuwait's foreign ministry said on Wednesday that a volley of Iranian missiles had struck the country's international airport and diplomatic missions. Local officials reported that one person was killed in the attack - who was later identified as an Indian citizen - and another 60 injured.

Another L for failing Chicago: Bears football team leaving blue state Illinois for Indiana

A century of football comes to an end

After 106 years of Chicago Bears football in Chicago, the franchise announced it will relocate to pursue a new stadium development about 25 miles away in Hammond, Indiana.

"Yesterday, the Chicago Bears Board of Directors met and voted to advance our stadium development project in Hammond, Indiana, with the exact site yet to be selected," Chicago Bears Chairman George H. McCaskey and President & CEO Kevin Warren wrote in a statement.

The statement continued, "We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region, connecting Northwest Indiana to the South Side of Chicago through the Loop and across neighborhoods and suburbs stretching north of the city. It will bring Chicagoland together and deliver new opportunities to its residents and businesses."

Comment: Maybe the loss of a hometown sports team is not something worth lamenting with so many larger issues needing attention, but such things are part of the fabric of a community, providing identity and a certain amount of social cohesion. One might debate the economic benefits such organizations generate but that is part of the equation, too. Chicago just slid further into decay.

The market is beginning to price in something most people still don't see

The Strait of Hormuz is a key chokepoint for maritime oil shipments
There is a strange disconnect developing between financial markets and the average person.

Most people still see the situation with Iran as another distant geopolitical story. It appears on television for a few minutes, disappears behind domestic political news, and then returns a few days later when another headline emerges. Investors, however, are beginning to treat it very differently. They are not watching the negotiations because they care about diplomatic symbolism. They are watching because a growing number of traders believe the global economy may be far more vulnerable to a prolonged disruption than policymakers are willing to admit.

The irony is that the biggest threat is no longer war itself. The biggest threat is uncertainty.

For months, markets convinced themselves that a deal between Washington and Tehran was only a matter of time. There would be disagreements, public threats and last-minute complications, but eventually economic reality would force both sides toward some form of compromise. That belief became so widespread that many investors stopped considering what would happen if the opposite occurred.

Now that assumption is being tested.

"I'm the look-around candidate. All you have to do to understand why I'm surging in the polls is just look around..."
— Spencer Pratt
Just watch in wonder and nausea as California's mail-in ballots dribble in, providing a real-time demonstration of the "Our Democracy" party spitting in the country's face again, since everybody knows exactly what's going on. Meanwhile, the Senate voted down the SAVE Act again this week by 52 to 48 for. . . reasons. But, hey, cheer up, it's Pride Month. At the same time that California was queering its own "jungle primary," a troupe of drag queens swanned and capered around New York's City Council Chamber in what was called a "Pride Ball" (actually more of a show than a ball).

And what it really showed is that the party running New York City has no shame. How, exactly, does mental illness intersect with the public interest, you might ask? Historians of the future, roasting armadillos-on-the-half-shell over their campfires, will probably figure it out. For now, you must pretend that no such question even exists. Don't bother asking. Just go along with the gag.
