[A Soldier's Whisper @SoldiersWhisper]

In the sweltering jungles and chaotic field hospitals of Vietnam, army nurses stood as quiet pillars of strength amid the relentless storm of war. These women, often barely out of their twenties, worked tirelessly in makeshift operating rooms where the air was thick with the metallic tang of blood and the constant hum of generators.

They held the hands of young soldiers, boys really, whose eyes were wide with fear as they whispered for their mothers or girlfriends back home. Each day, the nurses faced a tidal wave of mangled bodies and shattered spirits, stitching wounds and soothing pain while suppressing their own terror and grief.

Yet, in those fleeting moments of connection—wiping a brow, sharing a smile, or offering a gentle word—they became lifelines, weaving humanity into the brutality of war.The emotional toll on these nurses was a silent wound, one they carried beneath their crisp uniforms and steady hands.

They laughed with soldiers over shared cigarettes during rare lulls, only to cry alone in their bunks at night, haunted by the faces they couldn’t save. The relentless pace left no room for weakness, yet their compassion never wavered, even as they battled exhaustion and the gnawing fear of rocket attacks.

They formed bonds with each other, a sisterhood forged in the crucible of war, where a glance or a touch could convey what words couldn’t. These women were not just healers of bodies but guardians of hope, their courage a quiet rebellion against the despair that threatened to engulf them.

@CraigBaird Happy travelling! And thanks for showcasing Canada! We are amazing!

@Smil3yAngel Yes it feels free. It is taxpayer funded. Every year we pay for this. Personally I think it’s great! But please! It’s not free!

🔎 NEED TO IDENTIFY 🔍

We are asking for the public’s help to identify a man who is believed to have sexually assaulted an 11-year-old girl on a Calgary Transit bus last month.

📍 On Sunday, May 25, 2025, between 4:30 p.m. & 5:30 p.m., the victim & 2 additional members of her family boarded a Calgary Transit bus. At the same time, an unknown man also boarded the bus. The victim & the man were seated next to each other during the trip.

Sometime during the bus ride, it is believed the suspect inappropriately touched the victim, who later disclosed the incident to a trusted adult at her school, who then reported the incident to police.

Our Child Abuse Unit launched an investigation and after following all investigative leads, are now turning to the public in hopes of identifying the suspect.

🗣️ He is described as approx. 30 to 35 years old, with a small amount of facial hair & a bald head.

🔎 He was last seen wearing a navy-blue jacket, a white patterned shirt & jeans. The suspect is believed to frequent the Calgary Transit system.

The victim is receiving support from the LUNA Child & Youth Advocacy Centre.

Anyone who believes they are a victim of sexual assault is encouraged to report it regardless of when it occurred & anyone with information about this incident or the identity of the suspect, is asked to contact police by calling the non-emergency line.

She’s great...and they sounded so good together.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

Tattooed numbers were used only in one German Nazi camp — Auschwitz. These tattoos were assigned exclusively to prisoners who were registered in the camp. Out of approximately 1.3 million people deported to Auschwitz, only about 400,000 were registered as prisoners and given numbers.

The vast majority of Jews murdered in Auschwitz — around one million people — were never registered; they were murdered in gas chambers right upon arrival and received no tattooed number.

Moreover, tattoos were not exclusive to Jewish prisoners. Others — including Poles, Roma, Soviet POWs, and others — were also registered and tattooed at Auschwitz. Other concentration camps had entirely different systems for identifying prisoners and did not use tattoos at all.

To suggest that every Jewish victim of the Holocaust received a tattooed number — and to use the limited length of those numbers to cast doubt on the scale of the genocide — is not only factually false. This kind of distortion is a deliberate tactic used by Holocaust deniers to insult the memory of victims.

In the world of deniers, the suffering of real human beings is reduced to cynical wordplay and harassment. Denying is an assault on memory, truth, and human dignity.

Learn about strategies employed by Holocaust deniers to spread misinformation and falsehoods.

Angelina Ireland, who is the Executive Director of the Delta Hospice Society tells her story of how the Government shut down her hospice & got her 25 year lease terminated because they refused to offer mAID. Our Government sure loves “taking care of” people.

[Harman Bhangu @HarmanBhanguBC]

David Eby’s scrambling.

Ottawa’s Transport Minister didn’t send a polite memo—she delivered a public rebuke. “Disappointed and surprised” is diplomatic code for: you messed up.

And what did Eby’s office do? Tried to bury the letter.

This isn’t just bad optics—it’s a national security issue, a funding risk, and a credibility meltdown.

No wonder he was rattled on Jas’s show today. He’s been caught steering a sinking ship.

This is not even a km worth of cars & trucks stuck on hwy 401 & our insane Government thinks that it’s possible for this to be all electric & they will all just magically plug in each night with no issues to our grid capacity. Ok

[Brad Zubyk @Bzubyk]

This isn't complicated folks.

The parents of a sick child were given one day notice of ending medication.

This is cruel.

It is heartless.

It is a government without a moral compass.
