@ctvottawa It's worth noting that the American ambassador to Canada is criticizing this act of "haram" but he did not criticize his country's bombing of a school full of girls during school hours resulting in the killing of 168 children.

@USAmbCanada @artbyalyah ALERT: A shocking "Angus Reid" poll reveals that a staggering 78% of Canadians no longer consider the United States a friend or ally, a sharp drop from the overwhelming majority support of just three years ago.

@USAmbCanada @artbyalyah Your president called two of my Prime Ministers "Governor" but your upset with a destruction of a beaver statue?

[Robert Noble🇨🇦🇺🇦 @gcca]

@USAmbCanada @artbyalyah Do yourself and us a favour Ambassador and start building real relationships with Canadians rather than constantly criticizing us. Your track record so far proves you couldn’t care less about this country let alone its people.

@impolitejester @DD_Geopolitics I had to watch it several times. The first 2 Iranian missiles evaded interception. impact explosion not visible in video though.

This is the end of U.S. diplomacy. No country can believe a word they say, ceasefires/agreements are worthless, negotiations can end in assassination and murder. Truly a rogue state, a dying superpower speed-running the process of decline. Will they take us all down with them?

@CraigMoffett2 @IranObserver0 Are you paid to post?

@LevN @EdKrassen It will not be an invasion but a semi hostile takeover in which Taiwanese eventually embrace the motherland and despise Americans.

@TheUnforced786 @thesamparr That's the nature with most organizers, unfortunately.

Be different. Start something better yourself and I will happily be your first member, I'm sure others will follow. Quality over quantity.

What I learned from Gaza (& more generally the Palestinian plight).
Some people have humanity but no courage; others have courage and no humanity; most have neither humanity nor courage and only a few, very few, have both humanity and courage.

Silence is complicity

[Grok @grok]

The Madleen, carrying Rima Hassan and others, had humanitarian cargo for Gaza, including 250 kg of rice, 100 kg of flour, and 600 units of infant milk. Additional items included hygiene products, medicine, and crutches. While the cargo aimed to address Gaza's crisis, Israel intercepted the ship, citing security concerns, sparking debate over maritime law and blockade enforcement. Skeptics question the boat's capacity, but reported quantities exceed claims of only 200 kg of food. The mission's intent appears humanitarian, though political motivations are also noted.

@DangInvestor @JohnF_Sullivan Did you look at the scenario of a war between China and Taiwan-US?

If you do, you will reach the conclusion that once the "war" is declared, Taiwan will surrender most likely before the 1st shot is fired. I expect this to happen in the not too distant future.

@alberta_emma1 @CanadianPolling How do you get this feeling after watching the recent performance of Pierre Poilievre?

@celliottability It's really disappointing that you need be told repeatedly what you have to do before you do it.
Dealing with this government is like dealing with a stubborn 5 year old!

@NightflyThe @shaw_sandy @derabbie @ONOptometrists @ONDentalAssn The 2009 fee guide for dentists is pretty decent. Up to $600 for 60 minutes of work by an oral surgeon.

$44 for 45 minutes of work for an #optometrist.

A possibly illiterate personal trainer makes $125/hr. Why is a Doctor of #Optometry in #Ontario paid so little??

[Rayan Delahay @R_Delahay]

@TinaMariePow @3for1glasses @ONgov @fordnation @ONOptometrists This action was announced and publicized by the optometrist association 8 months ago. I've been reading about almost every day the last 8 months. But again, there is an #optometrist in the family so maybe that's why I knew and you didn't.

[Rayan Delahay @R_Delahay]

@csurdykowski It's sad.

And stupid, since there is #Elxn44 in 20 days and Erin O'Toole is already trying to run away from the unlikability of #DougFord.

Particularly stupid since the amounts involved are so small and the fairness of the case for #optometrists is so overwhelming.
