Mark Carney built a global profile in 2026 by standing up to President Trump. If some prediction-market traders and admirers are right, the Canadian PM could end the year with the Nobel Peace Prize and Time magazine’s Person of the Year. Read more: abcnews.link/g4eQv8z

This is ridiculous. These are terms you ask for from an enemy after defeating them in a world war. That is how the USA now treats its 'allies'. And that is why every country in its right mind wants out of the relationship.

Canada has suspended trade negotiations with the United States, Prime Minister Mark Carney said, adding that the country would match US tariffs imposed at midnight dollar for dollar. cnn.it/4y0zzOh

Colorful fireballs are expected next week! The highly anticipated peak of the 2026 Perseid meteor shower is arriving on the night of August 11–12, offering stargazers a stunning celestial show. To catch the absolute best views, experts recommend heading to a dark location far from city lights between the hours of 2:00 AM and 4:30 AM local time. Be sure to give your eyes about 15 to 20 minutes to adjust to the darkness. While you can look toward the northeast near the constellation Perseus to find their origin, these meteors can streak across any part of the sky—and you won't need telescopes or binoculars to enjoy the spectacle. What makes the Perseids truly magical is their vibrant, multicolored display. Entering Earth's atmosphere at a blinding 132,000 mph (212,000 km/h), these tiny particles compress and heat the air, exciting atoms to release distinct hues. Observers can look out for red from atmospheric oxygen and nitrogen, yellow-gold from iron, violet from calcium, orange from sodium, and blue-green from magnesium. Because these fragments often contain multiple elements, they can change colors mid-flight, leaving behind the brilliant fireballs and long-lasting, glowing wakes that NASA notes make the Perseids the year's premier meteor event. source: NASA.

@Kamscan very rare time. I'm holding my phone while driving, but it has jumped the highway in Summerland.

BREAKING! A large wave of plasma launched from the Sun July 30th has begun sweeping past Earth. Thus far the magnetic connectivity has been strong (Bt ~16 nT, Bz -10 nT | peak Bt 21 nT, Bz -16.5 nT), and I suspect we'll soon be in a moderate to strong G2-G3 geomagnetic storm...

A strong plasma storm is set to swipe Earth from the side on August 1st or 2nd. G1-G2 geomagnetic storming is expected with a potential for G3+ if a more direct hit happens with -Bz magnetic coupling. Aurora will be visible to lower latitudes than normal. Follow for updates
