🎶Although the song "Rock Lobster" was released in 1978, it only truly exploded onto the US Billboard charts after the band's wild, energetic live performance was broadcast live on SNL in 1980.

July 26, 2020. A beach near Collingwood, Ontario.

Sixteen-year-old Jamey Ruth Klassen was supposed to be enjoying a quiet family vacation beside the icy blue waters of Georgian Bay.

Farther out on the lake, a man named Christopher Robertson had taken his kayak out alone for a peaceful paddle. Then the kayak filled with water and flipped.

Suddenly, he was stranded in the freezing bay, clinging desperately to the overturned hull while shouting for help.

Jamey didn’t hear him directly.

What she heard instead were strangers nearby calling 911, panicking about a kayaker who had disappeared beneath the surface and wasn’t coming back up.

Most teenagers would’ve stayed on shore.

The water was brutally cold. The distance looked impossible. Lifeguards and paramedics were already being called. Waiting would’ve been understandable.

Jamey never waited.

She ran toward the water and dove in.

Alone, she swam nearly 600 feet through Georgian Bay — the distance of two football fields — pushing herself farther and farther from shore toward the empty kayak floating in the distance.

By the time she reached it, Christopher Robertson was gone.

Then Jamey looked down.

Through the clear Canadian water, she could see him lying motionless twelve feet below on the lake floor.

She took one breath.

And dove.

The cold tightened around her body instantly as she reached the bottom. She grabbed Robertson beneath both arms and forced herself upward, dragging his unconscious body back toward the surface.

He wasn’t breathing.

His body hung limp in the water.

Jamey refused to let go.

She turned him onto his back, balanced his head against her shoulder, wrapped one arm across his chest, and began swimming him toward shore using only one arm and her legs.

Every second became harder.

Her muscles burned violently. Her lungs screamed. She had no formal lifeguard certification because the pandemic had canceled the courses she planned to take that summer.

Still, she kept kicking.

Then fear hit her.

Jamey realized she might drown beside him before reaching shore.

Exhausted and losing strength, she used the last thing she still had left:

Her voice.

She screamed for help.

A nearby paddleboarder heard her cries and rushed across the water. Together, they lifted Robertson onto the board while Jamey, shivering and exhausted, swam the remaining distance alone.

Onshore, police officers and paramedics immediately began CPR.

Moments later, Christopher Robertson started breathing again.

He survived.

Nearly a year later, Jamey Ruth Klassen received the Carnegie Medal — North America’s highest civilian honor for heroism. Out of millions of people, only eighteen recipients were chosen that year.

But Jamey barely spoke about herself afterward.

Instead, she used the scholarship money from the award to attend nursing school at McMaster University, quietly continuing the same instinct that had driven her into the freezing water that day:

If someone needs help, you go.

No hesitation.
No spotlight.
No waiting for someone braver.

Just a sixteen-year-old girl who saw a stranger drowning… and decided his life mattered more than her fear.

@Tori_TLCR My daughter was lucky enough to buy a small house in Peterborough a few years back. Her mortgage is low now compared to what rent would be.

WOW

A website is DOCUMENTING Israel’s crimes with GEOLOCATION, dates, categories of crimes, and footage of the incidents themselves.

One click and you can see EXACTLY what Israel did.

An enormous digital archive built for ACCOUNTABILITY.

Too on point not to share. This is great, but too bad the Orange Felon’s enablers won’t let him see it.
This Australian's reply to #Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

Future generations will never understand how the American people failed to hold a pedophile president accountable for his life of fucking children for fun. The Epstein files MUST BE RELEASED.

[Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا @SMohyeddin]

Anand seems taken aback by a question that most legacy media journalists in Canada would never ask her. Why would you ask a murderer to investigate themselves. This veneer of Israel as being a trusted partner in the global community of nations is ludicrous.

Opinion: It all started going bad when people began idolizing billionaires instead of treating them like the greedy, resource-hoarding, human-exploiting, planet-destroying sick fucks they really are.

Robert Gates, former US Defense Secretary: "Netanyahu told me in 2009 that Iran's regime was fragile and would crumble at the first attack. I told him he was dead wrong - he was underestimating the resilience of the Iranians."

He spent whole career shopping that same lie to every US president- Obama said no. Biden said no.

Until finally - he found a dumb US president willing to bite

[Alex Cosh @AlexCosh_]

I’m glad Al Jazeera is asking these questions because Canadian journalists with access to Anand never would and those of us who try have our questions ignored by comms staffers who have absolute contempt for transparency and truth.

I regret voting for your party, @MarkJCarney. This approach is a far cry from the independent foreign policy we were promised.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

Wow, no one found this horrific Donald Trump mention in the Epstein files because it was a handwritten letter that wasn't indexed properly by the DOJ. How convenient?

This woman alleges that Donald Trump was involved with Jeffrey Epstein in the sale of young women to the sex trafficking ring of Epstein and the Saudis.

She also claims that Trump forced her to miscarriage after she got pregnant.

See the entire 32 page letter on the DOJ website: efta01682031.pdf

Do not stop talking about Epstein.

This is beyond horrifying.

New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.

Among them:

• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5

That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.

Israel isn’t “defending itself.”

It is wiping out Palestinian life.
