82 years ago today, some of the bravest people in human history stormed the beaches of Normandy to confront absolute evil and back those who had been battling it street by street for nearly a decade.
Thanks to the Soviet Union, who's Russia originally shook hands with Hitler helping trigger the devastating world war, and to the 14 other soviet republics that fought bravely to undo that asinine mistake, those being Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Lithuania, Moldova, Latvia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Turkmenistan, and Estonia, whose 27 million dead and Operation Bagration sixteen days later made Normandy possible by tying down two-thirds of the Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front. Belarus lost roughly a quarter of its population. Ukraine lost an estimated 7 million.
Thanks to the UK, which supplied most of the naval force, most of the air force, the planning, the airfields, and around 61,000 troops on Gold and Sword.
Thanks to Canada, whose 14,000 troops on Juno achieved nearly a total victory and the deepest penetration of any beach on the first day.
Thanks to Free France, whose 177 commandos of Philippe Kieffer's unit at Sword (the only French force to land on French soil on 6 June), the cruisers Georges Leygues and Montcalm shelling Omaha, and the destroyer La Combattante in the screen.
Thanks to Poland, whose navy (Błyskawica, Piorun, Dragon, Ślązak) covered the landings, whose pilots flew air cover (303 Squadron had the highest kill rate of any RAF unit in the Battle of Britain), and whose 1st Armoured Division under General Maczek closed the Falaise Pocket weeks later at Hill 262.
Thanks to Norway, the Netherlands, and Greece, whose navies sailed with the Royal Navy as government-in-exile forces in Operation Neptune.
Thanks to Czechoslovakia, whose 310, 312, and 313 Squadrons flew with the RAF.
Thanks to Belgium, whose pilots flew with the RAF and whose Piron Brigade landed in Normandy in early August.
Thanks to Newfoundland, then a separate dominion, whose artillery served in the Normandy campaign and whose sailors served across the Royal Navy.
Thanks to Australian, New Zealand, South African, and Indian airmen in RAF squadrons, and to the Royal Australian Navy ship that sailed with the bombardment force.
Thanks to Australian, New Zealand, South African, and Indian airmen in RAF squadrons.
And thanks to the United States, whose 73,000 troops landed at Utah and Omaha, and fought bravely despite a decade of isolationism (the Neutrality Acts of 1935 to 1939), an 'America First' movement whose figurehead Charles Lindbergh accepted a medal from Göring in 1938 and made openly antisemitic speeches, a Henry Ford who took the Grand Cross of the German Eagle the same year and whose antisemitic writings Hitler quoted in Mein Kampf, and US corporations (Ford, GM/Opel, IBM, Standard Oil, ITT, Chase) doing business with Nazi Germany, some of which kept operating well into the war and continue to do business with the tyrants of today.

The Ford government has shut down Queen's Park for nearly five months. Meanwhile, Ontarians are still struggling to find a Nurse Practitioner or family doctor, access health care, afford housing, and make ends meet.
In my debate, I spoke about one of the clearest examples of this government's wrong priorities: our health care system. While patients wait longer and health care workers burn out, Doug Ford is choosing to avoid accountability instead of addressing the challenges facing Ontario.
The problems won't disappear just because the Legislature does. #onpoli

A parked car can become dangerously hot in just minutes, even with the window cracked.
🌡️ On a warm day, the temperature inside a vehicle can climb fast.
🐶 Dogs can’t cool themselves the way humans can.
⚠️ Heatstroke can happen quickly and can be fatal.
If your dog can’t come with you, the safest choice is to leave them at home.
No errand is worth your best friend’s life.

Une voiture stationnée peut devenir dangereusement chaude en seulement quelques minutes, même avec une petite craque dans la fenêtre.
🌡️ Par temps chaud, la température à l’intérieur d’un véhicule peut monter rapidement.
🐶 Les chiens ne régulent pas leur température corporelle comme les humains.
⚠️ Un coup de chaleur peut survenir rapidement et peut être fatal.
Si votre chien ne peut pas vous accompagner, le choix le plus sécuritaire est de le laisser à la maison.
Aucune commission ne vaut la vie de votre meilleur ami.
Chapman's Ice Cream is amazing. They used to source fruits & nuts from US suppliers. Then Trump slapped on 25% tariff. So what did Chapman's do? They called Italy. They called Spain. They signed contracts with European suppliers. This is a family-run business of good Canadians!
