@TheEclectic1One @sentdefender What is interesting to me, is when we "leave", does Iran stop bombing gulf countries and US Bases?
English

@sentdefender This in the end is a loss & one that cost the USA billions. New Regime? No. New people but people who carry the same philosophy & are even more emboldened than those previously in charge. Strait of Hormuz will remain closed. The USA is essentially leaving knowing they can’t win.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump is set to set the stage for an off-ramp for the ongoing conflict with Iran in the Middle East. Amongst other things, the president is expected to announce that the military objectives of Operation Epic Fury have not only been met but surpassed during his 9 p.m. ET address tonight.

@KassyAkiva It's market manipulation. Always puts these out before markets open. He also realizes he doesn't have an off ramp to this war, so he has to make things up, pull out and hope everything stops. But... Will Iran stop bombing US bases after they "end the war"? Only time will tell

@FoxNews Who believes anything either side is saying at this point?
English

@Brooketaylortv It takes them 48 hours to determine if it's terrorism when he was wearing an Alah shirt, but they came out and said the Karen Reed incident was terrorism 10 minutes after the incident? Makes sense

@lookner Are you coming back live? Or waiting till the press conference?

Alberta’s 2026 budget will bring higher costs for drivers, homeowners, travellers and some seniors, as the province projects a $9.4 billion deficit.
Here are five key changes with numbers:
1. New vehicle rental tax
Starting January 2027, Alberta will introduce a 6% tax on the base price of short-term passenger vehicle rentals seating eight or fewer people. Long-term leases and large commercial vehicles are excluded.
The province expects the tax to generate $36 million in its first full year.
2. Property tax increase
The provincial education property tax requisition is rising from $3.1 billion to $3.6 billion, a 16% increase.
For a median homeowner:
- Calgary: about $28 more per month
- Edmonton: nearly $13 more per month
The education property tax will now cover roughly one-third of operating costs.
3. Tourism levy hike
The tourism levy on hotels and short-term stays will increase from 4% to 6%.
Revenue is projected at $200 million in 2026-27, rising to $214 million the following year.
4. Other fee changes
- Fines for excessive speeding, racing and stunting will rise 30% to 50%.
- Apprenticeship, trade qualifier, Blue Seal and Red Seal certification fees will increase to $150.
- Provincial historic site admission will rise from $9 to $11 and from $50 to $55.
- The previous value-added wine fee is being scrapped and replaced with a volume-based markup increase of about $0.43 per bottle.
5. Senior benefit reductions
Effective July 1, income thresholds for the Alberta Seniors Benefit will drop by 9%:
- Single seniors must earn below $31,636 (down from $34,770).
- Senior couples must earn below $51,706 (down from $56,820).
Special needs assistance thresholds are also being reduced.
In addition, two caregiver tax credits will be merged into a new Alberta Caregiver Credit. Eligibility will focus on caring for relatives with mental or physical infirmities, and the change is expected to reduce payouts by nearly 30%, saving about $12 million annually.

Alberta’s government has tabled its 2026-27 budget, projecting a $9.4 billion deficit amid lower oil prices and rapid population growth without matching economic gains. Finance Minister Nate Horner noted the province will run deficits for three consecutive years, breaking its own fiscal rules on balanced budgets and deficit limits, with debt expected to reach $109 billion by March 2027. The $83.9 billion spending plan includes increases for health and education to address infrastructure needs for a growing population of about five million.

@ZssBecker It's okay, I sold at 110,000 and I'll buy back when it bottoms out around Oct never year. Have fun until then! :)

@yegwave I’ve always followed this page for local news. Lately it feels like it’s drifting away from that, and I’d really love to see it get back to its roots

@KingKathy46365 @TheNews4Dummies That's my question too. He apparently ran into him twice and also had an argument with him. Then saw the released photos of the suspect

@TheNews4Dummies Why did it take so long for that guy to let the police know what he saw?
