Russia needs to be reminded, frequently, that if they fuck around, they will find out; the only language an invader understands is force. Appeasement is what you do after you've defeated an enemy, not while he's preparing to invade you and attacking you. Peace isn't passive.
🇺🇦🌊 Ukraine has developed a heavy underwater drone, SEA TRIDENT, which is designed to destroy strategic targets, - Militarnyi
SEA TRIDENT is capable of delivering a payload weighing up to 1,000 kg to strategic targets. Maximum range of up to 2,000 miles.
PM Carney on US-Iran framework deal: I very much welcome the peace deal or the ceasefire deal, the 60-day truce. I know President Trump has worked very hard for this, as has the Vice President, the Qataris, the Pakistanis. So Canada very much welcomes this progress.
Fuel crisis hits Moscow region.
A video has gone viral showing a huge queue stretching for several kilometers at a gas station near Moscow.
The person filming notes that similar long lines are forming at neighboring stations as well.
Canada condemns in the strongest possible terms Russia’s latest missile barrage against Kyiv, including the strike on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, one of Ukraine’s most sacred sites and a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the many sacred sites in Ukraine and Eastern Christianity. No cause can justify attacks on civilians, places of worship, or cultural treasures that belong to all humanity. These are not acts of war - they are acts of terror. Canada stands unwaveringly with Ukraine.
Hey @Jim_Jordan and @freedomcaucus just checking in to see if the same idea applies? You wanted to see the side car agreement from Obama and opposed the money he gave Iran. How is that today?
🇺🇸🇺🇦 CRIMEA COULD BE ISOLATED WITHOUT A D-DAY-STYLE INVASION
“It will become very difficult for Russia to sustain the war, protect Crimea or retain control of it.
Russians will eventually say, ‘We can’t stay in Crimea anymore. We’re getting hammered every night. There’s nowhere to hide.’
You can’t fly out of there. You can’t resupply from there. Certainly, no ships can operate from there.
This will be the cumulative effect of destroying Russia’s ability to export oil and gas, combined with Ukraine’s growing ability to strike Russian logistics at medium range.
Crimea will not fall through a D-Day-type invasion, but through the integration of manned and unmanned systems, special operations and long-range precision strikes.” - Ben Hodges 🇺🇸
The objective is systematic isolation: degrade supply routes, restrict military movement and make Russia’s occupation of Ukrainian Crimea progressively harder to sustain.
🚨Russian propagandists are currently bragging about a “major military success,” claiming they successfully struck a strategic military target – the Burevisnyk factory in Kyiv, achieving their goal.
As someone who actually lives near this factory, let me tell you the truth.
What do Conservatives have against people with disabilities?
In Ontario, Doug Ford calls them lazy and tells them to get a job.
In Alberta Danielle Smith destroyed disability support and an Albertan man took his own life as a direct result.
11 Ukrainian civilians were killed in yesterday’s massive ballistic missile, cruise missile and suicide drone attack on Ukraine.
4 of them were firefighters killed in Russian double-tap strike with ballistic missiles in Kharkiv while putting out the flames of the first missile.
BREAKING: Iran says the US has agreed to permanently hand over the Strait of Hormuz to Iran under their full sovereign authority, with Iran collecting tolls called "service fees" from all commercial ships after a 60-day waiver period. The opening is planned for Friday, after the signing, per Fars.
With pre-war Hormuz traffic at 30,000 vessels and 7.6 billion barrels of oil per year, this could generate $10+ billion in annual revenue for Iran, and comes on top of the $300 billion in reconstruction funds directly sent to Iran.
This also directly contradicts Trump's claim of a "toll free opening of the Strait of Hormuz" under no fees.
When Notre-Dame burned in 2019, the world stopped.
Today, Russia damages Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a monastery nearly 1,000 years old and older than Notre-Dame itself.
A thousand years of history deserves the same attention, the same sympathy, and the same protection.
Fine, let's address that.
The Prime Minister doesn't even live at 24 Sussex. The official residence has been deemed uninhabitable for years, and the temporary residence used by the PM doesn't have a full kitchen capable of supporting official functions and security requirements.
Meanwhile, the opposition leader lives in a taxpayer-funded official residence with taxpayer-funded staff, security, transportation, and operating costs.
If we're going to debate public spending, let's do it honestly. Focusing on meals provided during official travel while ignoring the publicly funded perks enjoyed by all senior political leaders isn't accountability. It's political theatre.
Canadians deserve facts, not outrage bait.

Canada strongly condemns Russia’s latest attack on Kyiv, including the strike on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, a sacred site in Ukraine and Eastern Christianity.
Canada stands with Ukraine. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause.
BLACK SEA BUG OUT: The Russian Black Sea Fleet command has decided to evacuate Sevastopol. Sources inside the Russian Navy, and the UKR partisan network Atesh, report officers have already started moving families and property – before any official order has been received.
