Holly sh!t❗️

Rather than reduce the cost of dairy products for Canadians, the dairy industry pours almost a billions litres of milk down the drain every year to keep costs high for Canadians.

This is while we have record usage of foodbanks and a system that is supported by all politicians.

Impoverishment is a policy in Canada.

@NBCTheVoice @nbc @peacock Britton got robbed. He was the best singer. You need to change the format back to where you allow voting for the top 2/5 for each coach, then coach picks 3rd place to go to final. This is the only fair way to make sure your coach doesn’t do you dirty if you are the best singer

@nbcthevoice Dan from Team Kelsea and Simone from Team Michael were both wronged tonight. They had the talent to be finalists and I was absolutely shocked they got eliminated with no steals. I wish Dan and Simone all the success they deserve!!

@HudsonCreates @premierbhiggs @pcnbca I remember when @premierbhiggs refused to pay retention bonuses and hired travel nurses instead. Local nurses were outraged at the amount travel nurses were paid, yet Higgs continued this practice then denied he knew anything about the astronomical bill to the province

A thread of the coolest things you didn't know about the 2024 Paris Olympics

1. Olympians who win a medal will take home a real piece of the Eiffel Tower. Fragments of iron that were removed & preserved during renovations to the Eiffel Tower during the 20th century have been infused into the medals. Each medal includes 18 grams (0.04 pounds) of the Eiffel iron.

An important #FathersDay message from me…WEAR A HELMET ! This week I had a bad accident while riding my bike in CT. I'm doing ok and I’m thankful for all the doctors, nurses and staff at @LMHospital who looked after me but most thankful for my helmet that saved my life. Be Safe

A couple of hundred New Brunswickers turned out on a raw January Sunday to join hands and surround Fredericton's synagogue, vandalized on Friday night, with a message of love and clarity: this is your city, and non-Jews will be there to defend you.

The original Michelin Man from 1894.
He was is white because rubber tires are naturally white. It was not until 1912 that carbon chemicals were mixed into the white tires, which turned them black. The change was structural, not aesthetic. By adding carbon, tires became more durable.

Michelin also began reviewing restaurants so that more people would travel further distances in their cars to eat at these restaurants. This, in turn, would wear down their tires faster and force them to buy more.

The star system that Michelin uses goes up to three and is broken down by whether or not it's worth driving to the restaurant:

One star: "A very good restaurant in its category" (Une très bonne table dans sa catégorie)

Two stars: "Excellent cooking, worth a detour" (Table excellente, mérite un détour)

Three stars: "Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey" (Une des meilleures tables, vaut le voyage).

Not to be crass, but let’s be clear: you currently have a 100% chance of dying. The biggest risk factor for death is life. How you live is important and if you’re living it trying to avoid death, it’s a fools errand. Spoiler alert: everyone dies. Try to live.
