The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) confirmed that at approximately 16:00 MT on Saturday, October 17, 2026, an explosion and fire occurred on the live-fire training range at CFB Wainwright.

Unconfirmed reports on X are saying CFB Wainwright in Alberta was attacked by what is being described as a "small force"

There are pictures circulating of a stripped down jeep that is presented as "the first vehicle in"

past due interest included in calculation, IMHO, but possibly not all debt (for example domestic)

10-17-26  panasonic

CV probably didn't include unpaid interests in initial calculation, but will be added in nego.

Trump suspende sanciones relacionadas con Rusia antes de que entren en vigor, mientras se empeoran las relaciones con Ucrania

savo, a summary of the reality of the BS between dt and sanchez:

//

Sánchez presume de pacifismo, pero ha solicitado ya a Estados Unidos armamento por más de 7.100 millones

Donald Trump ha dado luz verde a una nueva venta de tecnología militar a España por valor de 75 millones de dólares, según un documento oficial del Pentágono al que ha tenido acceso ABC y que no se publicará hasta este lunes

On the Centerview website now Veny debt 150+BB.. not 240BB
.................
These should be very good news I think (unless C V clarifies it is only a partial calculation)

10-17-26  leopardo

Yes Carib
They could be 170bln but certainly not 200 or more
orherwise they would have put another figure

10-17-26  carib

On the Centerview website now Veny debt 150+BB.. not 240BB

Maybe one should clarify if the issue is the primary deficit.. or the entire deficit.
.............................
I have seen a chart somewhere showing that Public workers total compensation adjusted for official inflation has been trended down and not up last several decades (not years)

Elon narcissist...I guess so dont´t know

10-17-26  carib

Merlino: Elon.. another narcissist?

10-17-26  carib

malignant narcissist.. indeed.

Maybe one should clarify if the issue is the primary deficit.. or the entire deficit.
Real debt stock should be deflated to calculate the actual variation.
lies, damn lies.. and statistics..

;^)

savo, i don't think he's a lunatic, but an extreme narcissist.

10-17-26  Merlino

What happened to DOGE?
...............
Deficit mainly caused by interests on debt I guess. DOGE "savings" real or imaginary largely irrelevant.

10-17-26  savo

victor... yet the debt grew by 3 trillion... so my bet is that the real budget deficit was 3 trn... and the rest magic accounting

10-17-26  savo

lunacy...

President Trump maintained Monday that an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was in place because he had secured both sides’ agreement, despite claims fromZelensky that Russia had continued striking Ukrainian energy sites.

“Well, they agreed,” Trump told reporters on his way to a midterm rally in Ohio. “Because I said, ‘You agree.’ That’s why they agreed, because I said they agree.”


so in Trump's mind if he says something it is true...not because it is true... but because he says so...

What happened to DOGE?

The US federal budget deficit for 2026 just came in. It's $1.992 trillion.

The 2026 reading is a 12% jump from 2025's $1.775 trillion deficit.

These final numbers came in the Treasury Department's Monthly Statement for September, which covers the final month in the US government's fiscal calendar.
