Awful to see a fire break out in the roof of the Revolver Hotel and Polo Lounge.

I hope no one is hurt and the fire can be contained.

🇨🇦OTTAWA — Russian President Vladimir Putin weighed in this week on Canada’s enthusiastic push for “economic independence,” noting it’s rare to see a developed country voluntarily speedrun isolation from its largest trading partner.

Canadian Liberals defended the move as part of their “Elbows Up” strategy, insisting that trade-offs like higher prices, job losses, and capital flight are a small price to pay for symbolic defiance and moral clarity.

Putin, observing from Moscow, was reportedly unimpressed.
“At this rate,” he said, “Canada will achieve third-world status within two years — not from sanctions, but from confidence.”
