Macron: It was your presence in Yerevan that shows just how much Canada is a country that is politically and geostrategically united with Europe. It's a strong political signal of the strength that unites us, and we share this common attachment and an international system based on rules.
PM Carney’s $3.2B National Food Security Strategy is a 10 year plan to lower grocery crisis, long-term by fixing structural problems in Canada’s food system.
More competition, more Canadian made food on shelves and less import dependence. This is called working for the people.

Wow, that’s impressive. Trump has won the same Iran war 27 times in one year! 🤣 How blessed can we be to have such a strong Commander-in-Chief! 🙄🤣😂🤡🤡 https://t.co/LrJk9PZlD8
Brian May didn't just donate money to animal welfare. He personally purchased British farmland and forests with his own money ~ and converted them into permanent wildlife sanctuaries. He resigned from the RSPCA for not doing enough. He refuses to play Glastonbury over badgers. The Save Me Trust is not a side project. It is Brian May's second career.
Most rock stars put their name on a charity.
Brian May buys farmland for his.
The Save Me Trust was founded in 2009 by Brian May and conservationist Anne Brummer — originally to campaign against the possible repeal of the Hunting Act in the UK.
It has never stopped growing since.
Today Save Me Trust campaigns against fox hunting, the badger cull, factory farming, live export, trophy hunting, driven grouse shooting, the use of snares, and the captivity of orcas and other cetaceans.
But what most people don't know — is what Brian May has funded personally.
The Save Me Trust manages private land ~ purchased and protected specifically for this purpose by Brian May himself. Land that was previously wilderness-deprived commercial forest or farmland. Enhanced. Restored. Converted into wildflower meadows. Protected permanently.
The Trust operates alongside Harper Asprey Wildlife Rescue ~ which rehabilitates injured British wildlife and releases them back into the wild through secure soft-release sites that Brian May's funding helps maintain.
In 2023 ~ Proud Galleries presented a £5,000 cheque to Save Me Trust ~ generated from ticket sales and book signings at Brian May's Stereoscopy Is Good For You exhibition in London. Every event Brian May does ~ feeds back into the animals.
He resigned from the RSPCA as Vice President in 2024 ~ publicly ~ because he felt even they weren't doing enough.
He refuses to perform at Glastonbury because its co-founder supports badger culling.
He has addressed Parliament directly. Led protests through London. Fronted BBC documentaries. Funded research. Bought countryside.
A man who once played to 250,000 people in Brazil —
Spends significant portions of his personal fortune buying British farmland.
To give Hedgehogs somewhere safe to sleep.
Thank you for caring for the animals @DrBrianMay 🙏.
So damn proud to be Canadian. 🇨🇦
For all our flaws, millions of people around the world would trade places with us in a heartbeat.
Never take that for granted.
"This Sunday night’s UFC spectacle on the South Lawn...captures something about this moment in our history.
It's vulgar, violent, commercial, grandiose, tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump."

Russian Z-bloggers post footage of Ukrainian drones freely flying over Russian-occupied Crimea, attacking fuel trucks and military targets.
They predict that soon this will lead to "panic and total collapse of all main roads."
"It is so fucking obvious that it was and continues to be in real time a cover-up. Because if you didn't do anything wrong, Donald Trump, if you didn't commit crimes, Donald Trump, then why are people scrambling to protect your ass?"

Cygnets are adorable aren't they... do you prefer close up photos like this, or photos where you see the whole bird in its environment? 🤔🐦🥰
Today, I signed a decree establishing a new special day – the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces. From now on, it will be observed every year on June 11. A day of our respect and gratitude to the USF.
For the first time in the world, such a branch of the military was created – in Ukraine. We are developing the USF to the max, and it is Ukrainians who have proved that through technology, ingenuity, and courage, we can change the nature of warfare. We can achieve objectives that were previously either completely out of reach of conventional weapons or extremely difficult to achieve and required an enormous expenditure of resources.
In just one year since the establishment of the USF Grouping, Russian targets of various levels worth nearly $40 billion have been struck. Most importantly, these are different types of strikes, and each one expands our ability to save lives.
The Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are truly a model for many other militaries.
🚨DONALD TRUMP IS ASLEEP IN THE OVAL OFFICE.
Today Trump is sleepy, angry, drowsy, and dopey.
Trump HATES when he’s caught on camera sleeping. You know what to do.
🚨 Russia just threatened Canada.
The country that started the biggest war in Europe since Hitler — the one bombing apartment blocks and stealing Ukrainian kids — went on state TV today and called CANADA the warmonger. 🇨🇦
Why? Because we agreed to build drones for Ukraine on Canadian soil.
So Moscow's mouthpiece, Maria Zakharova, announced Russia will publicly publish the addresses of those Canadian factories "so people can be informed."
That's not a press release. That's a target list.
Every accusation is a confession. They invade, then call the victims terrorists. They threaten our factories, then cry that WE'RE the dangerous ones. Pure projection, and it only works if we flinch.
We don't flinch.
I broke the whole thing down — the threat, the playbook, and why the only correct Canadian answer is "absolutely not, now build more drones." 👇🔗 https://t.co/PxQQhSdWZh
Subscribe. Share it with your Ukraine-skeptic uncle. Informed Canadians aren't optional right now.

BREAKING: Actress Sophia Bush enrages MAGA world by calling on Democrats to fight dirty and take it to the "gutter" to defeat Republicans because we need to "get in the fight."
We couldn't agree more...
"The kind of old rules, unfortunately, don’t exist anymore. I think a lot of us — I miss decorum," Bush, a star of "One Tree Hill" and "Chicago P.D." said during an appearance on The View.
"I miss actual research and corroborated journalism being what gets on the air instead of a TikTok theory that is then disproven on page 68 of the paper," she continued. "But at the end of the day, I think if you don’t go into some of these spaces, you leave a vacuum for the worst misinformation, for the worse racism, for worst sexism to grow."
"And while I do believe my forever First Lady Michelle Obama should stay high, she should stay high, I don’t want that woman in the muck, but I was raised by a mother who was raised in the Bronx," added Bush. "If you want to go low, I’ll meet you in the gutter. I will meet you in the gutter! I’m done. We have to get in the fight."
“When they go low, we go to the Earth’s crust,” Sunny Hostin chimed.
“This is what I’m saying!” replied Bush. “We kept it classy for too long and at this point, I’m like, come at me and I’m gonna punch you in the mouth.”
Mrs. Obama's famous words, while admirable, are better suited to a political climate that no longer exists. Donald Trump has destroyed our national discourse. We gain nothing by playing civil with these crooks, predators, and cultists.
How can we be expected to play nice with ascendant fascism? The President is a convicted rapist, alleged pedophile, and murderous war criminal. Anyone who still supports him deserves to be shamed and ostracized from normal society. We cannot make peace with evil like this!
Please ❤️ and share if you're done playing nice!
