$547,000 of public money, for two months, to oversee two tenants, in arguably deplorable conditions.
Truly astonishing that this is happening under the watch of our provincial government. #bcpoli #vanpoli

We now know how much it cost the government to keep two tenants in a Vancouver SRO hotel, while the facility was being shut down. globalnews.ca/news/11858104/…

The CBC "prank show" deception scandal is getting so much worse. The producers (operating under fake identities/fake company names with fake websites) told a number of RCMP veterans - people who dedicated their lives to serving on the frontlines - that they were invited to film for a show called "Life After Service." A ceremony to thank them for their service would follow, and they were told dignitaries would be present. This would take place at the CBC Vancouver studio. They were told to come in uniform. When the RCMP vets arrived at the CBC Vancouver studio on March 25th and 26th, the "pranksters" took their phones away, which they claimed was CBC Vancouver studio policy. The former RCMP officers were also placed in front of an audience of what they were told were about two dozen "journalists." And it was sprung on them that this was a "live broadcast", with "media availability" afterwards! Then the producers switched up the whole session to be not about life after service, but the historical wrongs committed by the RCMP against indigenous peoples - to berate these vets for being part of the RCMP. There is so much more but I am hoping the individuals targeted in this elaborate scheme will be able to share their stories themselves. Seriously, what even sounds remotely funny or silly about this concept? It is just sick and cruel @CBCNews and @APTNNews... what are you thinking?

The system cares is more about hiding the suffering of addicts that it enables then actually helping them.
They had just “discharged” the woman lying on the street right next to the hospital and they claimed that she was “resting.”
That’s what a villain would say when justifying the neglect of someone they were supposed to look after.

UNBELIEVABLE
People in BC could pay more for electricity,
BECAUSE OF INDIGENOUS OWNERSHIP!
The UN fooled you into adopting DRIPA.
Shaming yourselves into giving up your land, resources and now indirectly taxing your ass into oblivion because they now own utility companies?
This is peak insanity.
Guess they didn’t tell ya, but your land acknowledgments now have a price.
Harman Bhangu@HarmanBhanguBC
DRIPA is no longer just affecting permits and resource projects. Now it’s being used in court to argue Indigenous-owned private power producers should receive HIGHER electricity rates than everyone else. If the courts side with this argument, BC Hydro customers could be forced to pay more simply because of ownership structure, while government contracts across B.C. become exposed to escalating legal challenges tied to DRIPA and UNDRIP. This is the uncertainty Conservatives warned about from the very beginning. Higher hydro bills, higher costs, more legal chaos, less certainty for investment in British Columbia. And the NDP still refuse to admit the damage these laws are causing.

At this U.S. visit to China dinner banquet, the most eye-catching figure in the prime center seat between Musk and Cook was Lansi Technology founder Zhou Qunfei—from a rural factory girl to China's richest woman, with absolutely no background to rely on, building everything from scratch through her own grit. She was born in a small village in Hunan Province. At age 5, her mother passed away, and her father became disabled and blind from a work injury, leaving the family in dire poverty with nothing to their name. At 16, unable to afford school fees, she was forced to drop out and head to Guangdong to work in a factory, grinding glass on the assembly line—working days away during the day and furiously self-studying at night, earning certifications in accounting, computer operations, and other skills. That's how she spent a few years, until she scraped together 20,000 yuan from her wages, rallied eight relatives including her brother, sister, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, and started a small workshop in Shenzhen doing watch glass processing. She handled machine repairs and sales runs single-handedly, grinding away like that for another four years.
By the 2000s, the mobile phone industry began booming on a massive scale. By a stroke of luck, her watch glass factory landed an order for TCL phone screens. She spotted the huge potential in the phone glass market and quickly founded Lansi Technology, specializing in the production, R&D, and sales of phone glass. At first, they only handled domestic phones and knockoffs, but everything changed when she went after a Motorola order—foreign companies had insanely strict quality standards. She bet nearly all her resources to meet Motorola's demands and snagged the V3 order, which sold over 100 million units worldwide, catapulting Lansi Technology straight to industry leadership. From there, she smoothly secured deals with Nokia, Samsung, and other foreign giants.
The pivotal turning point hit again in 2007, when Jobs unveiled the first iPhone, revolutionizing phones toward full-glass touchscreens. Jobs' obsessive craftsmanship demands left the whole world scrambling for a supplier that could meet them. Zhou Qunfei keenly sensed this was another massive opportunity, so she led her team in a three-month joint push with Apple engineers, breaking through key processes to mass-produce the first-generation iPhone glass panels. That locked in a long-term Apple contract, and soon after, nearly all Apple gear—from iPads to MacBooks—went to Lansi Technology for production. It also propelled Lansi to become the world's top player in touch glass panels.
That's why she got to sit next to Cook. But why was Musk right there beside her too?
After dominating global glass panels, Lansi Technology branched into more diverse smart devices, including car cockpits and robots. In autos, they've already locked in deals with 30 carmakers like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes, and Li Auto for windows, center consoles, and more. In robotics, they handle joints, sensors, and other components—areas with deep overlap in Musk's businesses.
A girl who dropped out at 15 with just a junior high diploma, emerging from rural Hunan to build an empire from nothing and become China's richest woman—forty years later, stepping into U.S.-China talks, seated between Musk and Cook. That's Zhou Qunfei's story.

这次北京中美峰会的美国队当中，有一个光头的八五后，年纪轻轻却倍受关注，也许这也是为什么习近平和他握手的时候，停下来多逗留了几秒钟的原因。
这个人是斯蒂芬·米勒——美国总统助理、政策副幕僚长和国土安全顾问。
米勒1985年出生于加州圣莫尼卡一个政治上偏左的犹太家庭，但他很早就转向极右。
他不是传统精英建制派，而是一个从基层政治动员起步、靠强硬立场一步步爬上来的斗士型人物。
他2009年加入阿拉巴马州参议员杰夫·塞申斯的团队，专注移民政策。  塞申斯是当时国会最强硬的反移民声音，米勒在那里磨砺了十年，成为这套意识形态的核心操盘手。之后跟随特朗普，从2017年第一任期的首席演讲撰写人，到现在第二任期的政策副幕僚长兼国土安全顾问，职位和权力都大幅跃升。
米勒在司法部的影响力也极为突出，他还曾向代理副司法部长施压，要求更积极地清洗FBI官员。
他眼中的中国是文明冲突式的经济战争。米勒对中国的看法不是普通的贸易保护主义，而是一套更宏大的文明存亡叙事：
他公开宣称，特朗普的关税行动是将西方从被另一个大国完全经济统治中拯救出来的开端，并称美国允许供应链关键环节依赖中国是“可耻的”。 
他将中国定性为通过数十年知识产权盗窃、商标盗窃、版权盗窃、工业间谍、货币操纵、非法补贴、定向倾销来扭曲整个全球贸易体系的国家，并称历届总统任由中国掠夺美国是野蛮且彻底的。 
他出现在这次访华团队里，意味着一个内部制衡机制的存在。商界代表团急于拿订单、要市场准入、求关系解冻，而米勒代表的是另一种声音：任何让步都必须换来对等的、可核实的结果，不能为了外交胜利的表象而在战略利益上妥协。
在一个充满交易欲望的代表团里，他或许才是美国那个不会被气氛带着走的安全阀。

Everyone who is up in arms about Trump "kissing Xi's ass" needs to understand that this is realpolitik and dealmaking.
Trump is, by a mile, the most aggressive president America has had against the CCP in modern history. No one else imposed sweeping tariffs on Chinese goods, banned Huawei from domestic networks, put the entire CCP military-linked ecosystem on the entity list, restricted semiconductor exports, strengthened the Quad, and publicly called out China's currency manipulation, IP theft, forced tech transfers, and South China Sea aggression the way he did.
Pre-presidency Trump was blunt. If you recall, as a candidate, he often complained about how "China was screwing us over." Literally in 2016 on the campaign trail, he said that "China is raping us."
You need to understand that this posture completely shattered what was bipartisan elite consensus at the time - which was that more engagement with China on economic terms would liberalize and democratize China (ethnocentric projection once again), and that as China became more integrated into the global system, they would act more and more like responsible stakeholders. Every President since Nixon pushed closer economic integration while ignoring the OBVIOUS signs. This was especially supercharged under Bush, Clinton and Obama (but not Biden).
And yet at the time, the mainstream media painted him as a xenophobe for this kind of rhetoric. It wasn't even a subtext - they directly alluded to how Trump was being racist against the Chinese for calling out their unfair trade practices.
Once in office, Trump refined it into a strategy that actually moved the needle while dialing back his strong rhetoric.
The personal flattery - calling Xi a "great leader," talking up respect for China, saying they'll have a "fantastic future together," is all Machiavellian Art of the Deal stuff. Flattery costs nothing and makes the other guy more willing to give ground without looking like he's folding domestically.
The CCP's entire system is built on the leader's prestige. Publicly humiliating Xi or treating him like a subordinate would make him dig in, rally nationalists, and push him to retaliate harder just to save face.
I don't actually think Trump knows about Chinese "honor culture" and the obsession with mianzi (face), but for whatever reason, Trump instinctively understands authoritarian psychology and how to work with it.
The problem is that intellectual types, especially those steeped in liberal internationalist frameworks, tend to struggle with parsing the difference between rhetoric vs. revealed preferences. They're hard-wired to overweight the former.
They treat diplomatic language as a window into the soul, as if it maps directly onto intent rather than as front-facing tool of statecraft. China weaponizes this brilliantly.
It's a lesson everyone should've learned by now. With Trump, ignore the optics and ignore what he says. Just look at his actions, and look at his results.
Disclose.tv@disclosetv
NOW - Trump to Xi: "We're going to have a fantastic future together. I have such respect for China. The job you've done. You're a great leader. I say it to everybody. You're a great leader."

One thing that stood out immediately from the Trump-Xi meeting...
The tone.
The opening remarks from BOTH President Trump and Xi Jinping signaled de-escalation and normalization from the very beginning.
No aggressive posturing.
No hostile rhetoric.
No “Cold War” atmosphere.
Instead, the messaging was centered around stability, cooperation, trade, investment, and long-term economic relations.
That matters.
Because markets and corporations move heavily off signals, tone, and direction BEFORE deals are even finalized.
And when you combine that with the level of corporate firepower in that room...
You start understanding why investors, manufacturers, and global markets are paying such close attention to this summit.
This feels less like traditional diplomacy and more like the opening phase of a major economic realignment.
Read the thread below to see the bigger picture.

Most Americans still think geopolitics is politicians giving speeches at podiums. That’s the old world. What President Trump is doing in Beijing right now is something entirely different: Using CORPORATE POWER as a geopolitical weapon. Look at the delegation he assembled for China: • Elon Musk - Tesla / SpaceX • Tim Cook - Apple • Jensen Huang - Nvidia • Larry Fink - BlackRock • Stephen Schwarzman - Blackstone • David Solomon - Goldman Sachs • Jane Fraser - Citigroup • Kelly Ortberg - Boeing • H. Lawrence Culp Jr. - GE Aerospace • Brian Sikes - Cargill • Cristiano Amon - Qualcomm • Sanjay Mehrotra - Micron Technology • Ryan McInerney - Visa • Michael Miebach - Mastercard • Dina Powell McCormick - Meta This is not diplomacy. This is strategic market penetration. Now look at HOW carefully this lineup was built: 🚨 AI & CHIP DOMINANCE • Jensen Huang (Nvidia) → AI chips powering the global AI revolution • Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm) → Mobile chips, telecommunications, next-gen connectivity • Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron) → Memory chips critical for AI systems and data centers • Jim Anderson (Coherent) → Semiconductor materials and industrial laser tech • Jacob Thaysen (Illumina) → Biotechnology and genomic technology leadership This category alone represents the future of AI, computing, biotech, and technological supremacy. 🚨 FINANCIAL POWER • Larry Fink (BlackRock) → Controls over $10 TRILLION in assets • Stephen Schwarzman (Blackstone) → One of the world’s largest private equity giants • David Solomon (Goldman Sachs) → Elite Wall Street investment banking influence • Jane Fraser (Citigroup) → Global banking and cross-border finance • Ryan McInerney (Visa) → Global payment rails • Michael Miebach (Mastercard) → International transaction infrastructure These people don’t just move money. They influence where capital flows across the planet. 🚨 CONSUMER TECH & SUPPLY CHAINS • Tim Cook (Apple) → One of the largest and most sophisticated supply chains on Earth • Elon Musk (Tesla / SpaceX) → EV manufacturing, batteries, AI robotics, satellites, launch systems China knows these companies are deeply tied into global manufacturing ecosystems. 🚨 AEROSPACE & INDUSTRIAL POWER • Kelly Ortberg (Boeing) → Potential aircraft deals worth tens of billions • H. Lawrence Culp Jr. (GE Aerospace) → Aircraft engines and aerospace systems This is industrial leverage at the highest level. 🚨 AGRICULTURE & REAL ECONOMY • Brian Sikes (Cargill) → Agriculture, food supply chains, commodity trade Food security and agricultural imports are massive leverage points in U.S.-China relations. Now step back and look at the entire picture. This delegation covers: - AI - Semiconductors - Aerospace - Finance - Payments - Agriculture - Consumer technology - Manufacturing - Supply chains - Investment capital Every major economic battlefield between the United States and China is represented in one room. That is not random. That is coordinated strategic planning. The media will frame this as “just another summit.” It’s not. This is a private-sector strike force built to secure: - Market access - Investment deals - Supply-chain positioning - Regulatory concessions - Tech leverage - Aircraft purchases - Agricultural agreements - Financial expansion The politicians are mostly in the background because politicians talk. These people actually control: - factories - chips - satellites - patents - software - logistics - payment systems - manufacturing - capital flows That is where real power lives in 2026. Whether people love Trump or hate him, Americans need to understand the scale of what they’re looking at. This is statecraft merged with corporate power. And it’s being deployed with military-level coordination. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! God bless President Trump! God bless America!
