It is an incredible honour to highlight the work of the staff and physicians @niagarahealth. They have overcome unimaginable challenges to help others and continually inspire me with their kindness and compassion. Our patients and partners are extraordinary, too.

[NiagaraHealth @niagarahealth]

We are proud to share our 2021-2022 Annual Report, named Overcoming, in honour of our staff and physicians, patients and their loved ones, community and our partners.

Take a look through the report to see some of our proudest moments over the past year: https://t.co/6F8vB9PdFs

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Three waves of ballistic missiles have been launched at Kyiv by Russian “humanitarians” since yesterday evening. They used 21 missiles. Unfortunately, numerous sites across the city have been hit and damaged: ordinary residential buildings, energy facilities, infrastructure at one of the railway stations and the metro, shopping malls, and businesses. Even a monastery is among the damaged sites. Our emergency services are working at all the affected locations. Twelve of our regions came under Russian attack overnight. In Kyiv and across the regions, 34 people were injured, including five children. As of now, two people have been confirmed killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

Almost immediately after another round of talks, Russia launched a pointed attack. This means there has been no real change in its attitude toward everything that is happening. It is important to keep trying to find the right solutions to end this war. But when Russia responds to negotiations with ballistic missiles, real pressure on Russia is needed to bring about different steps – steps toward ending the killing. Stronger air defenses and the rapid delivery of missiles, the ability to destroy ballistic missile launchers, sanctions over the war – all of this must be in place. I am grateful to everyone who sees the situation for what it is and acknowledges the reality. The aggressor deserves to be treated accordingly. Ukraine deserves support. People's lives deserve protection. Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine!

One European official put it brilliantly when describing Zelenskyy: “He’s gone full Carney.”

And it works. Perhaps it’s time for the rest of Europe to learn to play rough, too.

By the narrowest of margins in several cases, and with a participation rate of 30-35 per cent.

Mélanie Joly: "We took good note of the earnings calls that happened yesterday, where the CEO of Stelco again mentioned that he was in favour of American tariffs against steel workers in Canada. I'll have more to say in the coming days."

Tillis on Patriot Missiles: I want to know who in the government is saying no to those transfers. This is not even taking it from our inventories. This is allowing it to be transferred from other European nations. Whoever that person is has the blood on their hands every bit as much as Vladimir Putin.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

Baby Anhelina and her mom Inna were killed by Russia yesterday.

Anhelina was just over a year old. Her mom, Inna Mariukhna, was a primary school teacher. They were in the park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, when a Russian drone attacked.

Little Anhelina was killed in her stroller. Her mom died of her injuries in hospital.

Another girl killed in the strike was just 11 years old.

Six people lost their lives from that Russian strike. All of them had simply been spending time in the park. At least 15 more were injured, including seven kids.

Deepest condolences...

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Make no mistake: By cutting intelligence sharing with Ukraine and buying Russian diesel, the United States is actively helping Russia wage its war against Ukraine and kill its people.

Shame on every Republican in Congress who knows better but is too cowardly to act.

[Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis]

.@elonmusk please tell me these overnight disruptions to Starlink terminals in Ukraine were unintended - that @SpaceX is doing everything it can to fix a temporary glitch.

I'm confident this does not reflect a change in SpaceX policy because if so, intentionally degrading Ukraine's ability to defend itself might be construed as aiding and abetting a mass murderer. Can you confirm that's not SpaceX’s intent?

Ukrainians simply want to live in peace. They did not ask Putin to bomb their homes, schools and hospitals. They do not want Putin to kidnap and brainwash their children. They are not interested in destroying energy infrastructure - in Ukraine or in Russia. They only want to defend their country and live their lives.

Supporting Ukrainian sovereignty - or at the very least, allowing for it - should not be a gray area for the U.S. government or for American corporations. Can you clarify the SpaceX position?

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Another way to think about Trump announcement today: If he increased US diesel imports from Canada by 4%, he would gain as much fuel as from this Russia deal. But the Canadians are global super-villains, so who wants to buy from them when you could enrich Putin instead?

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Where the hell are JD Vance, Mike Johnson, and Marco Rubio?

Why aren’t they calling out this deranged nonsense?

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

Not a peep from Mike Johnson as Donald Trump calls on Iran to take out American cities in California.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

An American president is talking about Los Angeles and San Diego being “taken out.”

Where the hell is Congress?

This is dangerous. The time to stand up is NOW.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

Chilling words.

Senator Dick Durbin at the Jack Smith Hearing just now:

“There are moments I’ll never forget. Twenty-five years ago, 9/11 was one of those moments when we were asked to evacuate the Capitol for fear of what might happen if the terrorists attacked.

“But the day I’ll also remember as long as I live is January 6, 2021, when this cathedral of democracy was overrun by violent insurrectionists at the direction of the President of the United States.”

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith: I will not be silenced by threats of prosecution from the President. The rule of law will endure. Public servants have remained faithful to their oaths despite extraordinary pressure. While fear may be contagious, courage is as well.
