On this day in 1945, the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau exposed the scale of Nazi crimes to the world and became a symbol of the horrors of the Holocaust, the resilience of its survivors, and the guilt of its enablers.
This morning, we gathered with members of the Jewish community in Ottawa at the National Holocaust Monument — to remember the consequences of ignorance, hatred, and complicity.
“On June 2, my home burned to the ground. It was obliterated. There is nothing left. The dream that I built is gone.
“It was completely avoidable.
“By the time we saw any planes, it was already too late,”

Last night, a Russian attack drone with a high-explosive warhead struck the shelter protecting the world from radiation at the destroyed 4th power unit of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
This shelter was built by Ukraine together with other countries of Europe and the world, together with America – all those committed to real security for humanity. The only country in the world that attacks such sites, occupies nuclear power plants, and wages war without any regard for the consequences is today’s Russia. This is a terrorist threat to the entire world.
The shelter at the Chornobyl NPP was damaged by this drone. The fire has been extinguished. As of now, radiation levels have not increased and are being constantly monitored. According to initial assessments, the damage to the shelter is significant.
Every night, Russia carries out such attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure and cities. Russia continues to expand its army and shows no change in its deranged, anti-human state rhetoric. This means that Putin is definitely not preparing for negotiations — he is preparing to continue deceiving the world. That is why there must be unified pressure from all who value life – pressure on the aggressor. Russia must be held accountable for its actions.
Taylor Swift delivered such an amazing speech here that the Recording Academy made it into a commercial uplifting young women who want to enter the music industry.
Carla Beck’s New Democrats now lead Scott Moe and the Sask. Party 50-45.

The Sask. Party vigorously defended this, calling the charges “unfounded” and going so far as to block investigations by the Provincial Auditor.

"This is a cancer growing within [SRC]," he said.
"Somebody has to go in and audit the whole organization and figure out what's going on, where the conflicts are and why those conflicts are allowed to exist."

Healthcare under Scott Moe is in crisis. OHS reports from RUH have come out. The ER was 350% full and the inspection report details a horrible situation for patients and healthcare workers.
This is unacceptable. It’s time to get Saskatchewan healthcare out of last place. #skpoli
