I was never into their music but didn't dislike it.

Going to see Triumph (Canadian rock trio) in a couple of weeks.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

There are differences between us in Canada, but there are things we all agree on *handshake*.

Difficult to believe, but great news if its true

QuoteNEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump's decision at the last minute:

President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.

However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan.

According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war:
"This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all."

In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives.

Key points in the offer:
• $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs
• Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime
• Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub
• Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons
• Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella
• Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb
• Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel
• Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime "secular and moderate" Iran

In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected.

Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as "a historic turning point" marking the beginning of a new regional order.
