The Falling Man photo reached far more people than I expected. A fellow American rightly reminded me that the man in it was someone's son, husband, father. Out of respect for his family, I won't post that image again. He deserves to be remembered as a man, not a moment.

The Falling Man. 9/11. He chose the window over the flames.
That photo should never leave us โ not out of hate, but out of resolve.
Never forget what evil did that day.
Never forget the 2,977.
Never forget who declared war on us, and never let America grow complacent about it.

On 9/11, men obeying a doctrine that denies the Cross murdered 2,977 innocents.
That doctrine still sanctions child marriage, apostasy killings, and blasphemy laws in much of the world today โ facts, not phobias.
Name it honestly, oppose it lawfully, and never forget. #NeverForget

Bastiat said it best over 170 years ago: "When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create a legal system that authorizes it." A great rรฉsumรฉ of his teachings here.
Evil is knowing the goodโand choosing otherwise. It's free will turned against love. That's why darkness can't exist on its own; it's just corrupted light.
James 4:17 โ "Whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin."
@jfrcaron Et ce sont ces merdes-lร qui protรจgent le Canada? Je crois que Trump devrait arrรชter le bouclier dโor ร la frontiรจre. Le Canada nโen vaut pas la peine.
@CBNNews Prove it! Apostasy calls for the death penalty according to the Hadith. And Iranians donโt joke about it. It must be the hallucinations of missionaries, although they are not allowed in Iran.
Lumo has more successes listed for Canada. Here's a solid list โ grounded in what Canada genuinely tops or dominates globally. I'll be straight with you: some of these are manufacturing/economic dominance, others are achievements of history or reputation. And given your critical eye on Canada, I'll note where things are more "soft power" than substance.
Natural resources & commodities
Maple syrup โ produces roughly 70โ75% of the world's supply; Quebec alone dwarfs everyone else
Potash โ world's largest producer and exporter (Saskatchewan controls a huge share of global supply)
Uranium โ consistently the world's #1 or #2 producer
Lentils and mustard โ world's largest exporter of both (yes, most of the world's mustard comes from Saskatchewan)
Wild blueberries, flaxseed, canola โ top global producer/exporter
Ice wine โ world's leading producer by volume
Third-largest proven oil reserves; fourth-largest oil producer
Geography
Longest coastline of any country (~202,000 km)
Most natural lakes of any country โ the majority of the world's lakes are in Canada; largest freshwater supply
Longest international border โ the US-Canada border, famously undefended
Largest polar bear population, second-largest country by landmass
Society & institutions
Tertiary education attainment โ historically ranks #1 or near-top among OECD countries in percentage of adults with post-secondary credentials
Immigration intake per capita โ among the highest in the developed world
Banking stability โ Canadian banks ranked the soundest in the world for years (World Economic Forum), and sailed through the 2008 crisis relatively untouched
Global reputation โ per the search results, Canada tied with Switzerland for #1 in the RepCore Nations reputation index in 2025
Peacekeeping legacy โ pioneered UN peacekeeping (Lester Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize for it in 1957)
Inventions & firsts
Insulin (Banting & Best, 1921) โ arguably saved more lives than any single discovery in medicine
The telephone (Alexander Graham Bell, in Nova Scotia/Brantford)
Basketball (James Naismith, a Canadian, invented it in 1891)
Standard time zones (Sandford Fleming, a Canadian railway engineer)
The electric wheelchair, IMAX, and the Canadarm for the Space Shuttle/ISS
Culture & quirks
Curling โ the dominant nation in the sport internationally
Ice hockey โ invented here; most Olympic golds, deepest talent pool per capita
Donuts per capita โ genuinely the world leader (Tim Hortons effect)
Santa Claus โ Canada Post has answered children's letters to Santa ( postcode H0H 0H0 ) since the 1970s, and NORAD's Santa tracker is run jointly from Colorado Springs with a Canadian presence
Cirque du Soleil โ reinvented the circus industry from a Quebec street-performance troupe
Two honest caveats: several of these (oil production, reputation rankings, immigration numbers) shift year to year and depend on which index you consult โ the US News 2026 profile actually drops Canada to 19th overall, weakest on environment. And I'd say "leads in reputation" is partly the absence of being anyone's enemy rather than active achievement.
