WTF, Steve? Look up the definition of “humanitarian.” What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say. You should go back to Ukraine and ask the families of the children Putin has kidnapped and murdered whether they agree your friend Putin is a “humanitarian.”

Some Government of Canada websites have been temporarily taken offline as a precaution to protect government systems and Canadians' information, following guidance from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security.

This is in response to a vulnerability identified in PHP, software used by websites around the world. This is a global issue, and other governments and organizations are also taking protective measures.

If your organization uses PHP, apply the latest security updates as soon as possible and follow @cybercentre_ca for updates.

We take this situation extremely seriously. Thank you to the cyber security teams working to protect the services Canadians rely on. Affected websites will be restored once patches are applied.

TMU hired a retired judge to investigate antisemitism on campus. The judge found the school has a double standard for Jews, and failed to enforce its own code of conduct. So the same administration that commissioned the investigation hid its conclusion. https://t.co/PV01Y5c25T

Russia killed a one year old girl in her stroller today. Her mother died in the hospital a few hours later.

The students at TMU will move on. But the F4P - Faculty for Palestine - will continue to send out a new generation of kids to get arrested, and then complain they were brutalized. The rot is deep.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.

I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

Lots of posts wrt the Wainwright tragedy

As a Patricia I am hugely grateful for what was clearly a remarkable response in the moment and thereafter

Many families are now facing the worst of moments. We can do little to make things better but it can be made worse .... 1/2

CAF members: starting this year, the poppy will be worn on all uniforms starting October 24.

This change will provide a longer and more consistent period for wearing the poppy.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Private Shaun Farrell of the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry during a fire-related training incident at CFB Wainwright on Saturday. My heartfelt condolences go to his family in Prince Albert. My thoughts remain with all who are grieving.

Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.
