This ascent isn't for everyone. You need grit to climb this high this often. You've got to be an underdog that always over-delivers. You've got to be 6,500 hospital staff, 1,000 doctors, all doing so much with so little. You've got to be Scarborough. Defined by our uphill battle and always striving towards new heights. And you can help us keep climbing.

I'll be resigning from office with my last day being January 5th, 2026. Green announced her decision in a more than 10-minute video posted on social media, and she repeatedly referred directly to Trump. If I am cast aside by the president

and the MAGA political machine, then many common Americans have been cast aside. and replace as well. Things between Green and Trump got so nasty that Trump did what he often does to people he disagrees with. He gave her a nasty nickname. Marjorie Taylor Green became Marjorie Trader Green.

The U.S. President calling it a great meeting. He said despite their different views, the two have much in common, adding he's confident MAMDani can do a good job. We agree on a lot more than I would have thought. I expect to be helping him, not hurting him. A big help, because I want New York City to be great. It's a big departure from his past rhetoric.

Trump had previously called Mammie a communist and had threatened, threatened, rather, to pull federal funding from New York City if he'd become mayor. Relations haven't exactly warmed up between the White House and Ottawa, with few signs of any end to the U.S. trade war. Publicly, U.S. American officials are more bellicose than buddy-buddy.

Minister Dale Nally says it will set out the legal standards for Alberta whiskey. And he says it represents the right sort of test case for the burgeoning technology. You know, it's the Alberta Whiskey Act. It's important, but there's no hearts or lungs involved. So there's no lives that are going to be lost. And because it's legislation that it's going to be laying out a process from the grains to the water and how things are distilled, if a mistake is made, we can course correct. Nellie said any AI written legislation would still have to go through committee, cabinet, and the legislative review committee. The Whiskey rules are planned to come forward on the legislative agenda this spring.
