Of course! What's next?

BREAKING NEWS

#ForeverCanadian just learned and confirmed that Alberta’s list of electors, containing everyone’s personal information, was made available to the separatists.

This is illegal, risks public safety, and creates uneven playing field as we fight for Canada.

@PierrePoilievre His lips say one thing. His actions another. Pierre Poilievre only cares about Pierre Poilievre. He is a petty little man. Liar.

Very well stated, Jason. Agree fully!

I have no issue with men's hockey team celebrating. They should. It was a major upset 😉. Them ripping it up in Florida is great. Celebrating a major accomplishment is awesome.
But you can't overlook who they allowed to party in their room and who they accepted a WH invite from. Pedophile protectors.
Pedophilia and rape shouldn't be partisan.
If you lean R or L you should be disgusted by it and want accountability for the perpetrators. Full stop.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.

Please share this far and wide...

"We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.

"Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman."

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."

"Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.

“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”

Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.

Please like and share.

Facts are stubborn things. Since the beginning of this year, the Russian army has carried out attacks against Ukraine using nearly 27,700 aerial bombs, almost 11,200 Shahed drones, around 9,000 other types of attack UAVs, and more than 700 missiles, including ballistic ones. And that’s in less than half a year.

This is the pace of Russian strikes, and they deliberately set this tempo from the very first days of the full-scale war. Russia has restructured its entire state, society, and economy to be able to kill people in other countries on a massive scale and with impunity.

Many have spoken with Russia at various levels. But none of these talks have brought a reliable peace, or even stopped the war. Unfortunately, Putin feels impunity. Even after all of Russia’s horrific attacks, he is reportedly preparing yet more so-called “responses.”

It means, that with every new strike, with every delay of diplomacy, Russia is giving the finger to the entire world — to all those who still hesitate to increase pressure on it. Yet, it is Russia that should be seeking peace. It is in Moscow that they must begin to feel that war carries a cost, a high cost, and the highest one should be paid by the aggressor.

If the world reacts weakly to Putin’s threats, he interprets it as a readiness to turn a blind eye to his actions. When he does not feel strength and pressure, but instead senses weakness, he always commits new crimes. He sees such an attitude as silent permission: permission for new atrocities, new strikes, new killings.

That is why we in Ukraine are so grateful to everyone in the world who is trying to stop this war and stop Russia’s attacks. To everyone who tells the killer that he will be held accountable. To everyone who says Russian missiles and bombs must stop taking innocent lives.
Russia must bring back peace.

And today, on the Day of Remembrance of Ukrainian Children Killed by Russian Aggression, we remind the powerful of this world of the facts. If the powerful do not stop Putin, it means they share responsibility with him. And if they want to stop him but cannot, then Putin will no longer see them as powerful.

Danielle Smith, Adriana LaGrange, and numerous cabinet ministers have stood in the Legislature and repeatedly stated they are doing everything in their power to comply with the Auditor General’s investigation.

Then, they turned around and issued a gag order.

What is the UCP trying so hard to cover up? #CorruptCare

Whenever the old Soviet Union was in chaos, they'd order state TV to run old opera or ballet programming 24/7 to distract the masses and ensure that the govt chaos did not seep into the news...

Happy now. Americans? Your retirement funds are in tatters, your jobs are in jeopardy, prices are going through the roof, and all because your president decided his number one priority after getting elected was to pick a fight with Canada.

NB Never pick a fight with Canada. It doesn’t end well.

Hard to believe Smith has done a complete 180! Her schmooze fests have failed miserably, and she is attempting to save face.

BREAKING: Alberta Premier Danielle Smith just completely obliterated Trump on his trade war, telling Canadians that Alberta holds a “Trump card” that is could potentially devastate American energy.

Trump is losing this trade war.

Thank You Prime Minister Trudeau for your dedication to Canada and Canadians alike!
You have taken us through tough times and for the most part we came through unscathed…
PM Trudeau, you will be missed… THANK YOU 🇨🇦

Today, Donald Trump continued his long-held tradition of being dismissive to female reporters with another sexist remark towards CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins.

RETWEET if you stand with Collins against these sexist attacks!
