Canada is designating German manufacturer TKMS as the preferred supplier for our next fleet of submarines.
This will be the largest defence procurement in our nation’s history and it will have enormous, lasting benefits for Canadian industries and workers. Together with our German and Norwegian Allies, we will build at speed and scale to expand our strategic capabilities and defend our sovereignty.
We will build this fleet to build Canada strong.
This is General Donahue and he was a four star General who was apparently pressured to resign from the Military because of Pete Hegseth’s ridiculous mismanagement of the Department of Defense. This is the loved he was shown as he was leaving his home and position!
Taylor Swift to fund national food bank after millions lose food benefits under Trump.
The country is so broken a singer has to save starving children from the president
Colonel Jeremy Hansen has continuously pushed the boundaries of what we thought possible and inspired generations to dream bigger. Today, we thank him for his service to Canada and contributions to space exploration and wish him all the best in retirement: https://t.co/ZU2IadJpGB
BREAKING: Disturbing new allegations accuse Republicans of hiding Mitch McConnell’s health status in order to prevent a special election that could put Trump’s enemy Thomas Massie in the Senate!
This seems INCREDIBLY shady…
Independent journalist Desirée Townsend laid out the disturbing case with clarity:
“Senator Mitch McConnell has now been hospitalized for three weeks. The gravity of this situation cannot be overstated, especially given that his wife, Elaine Chao, appeared in China just days after his hospitalization to meet with high-ranking Chinese officials.”
“The question now is about national security: if Senator McConnell has been unable to independently perform his duties, what safeguards exist to ensure classified intelligence briefings, defense appropriations information, or other sensitive congressional matters could not be accessed, discussed, or shared by individuals operating behind the scenes? And given the timing of Chao’s meeting with China’s vice president, what exactly was discussed?”
These are important questions that we NEED answers for.
Mitch McConnell has not been seen in public in over three weeks, nor have we had any update on his health after he suffered cardiac arrest, was given CPR, and then hospitalized.
Curiously, his wife Elaine Chao, who is not a government official, suddenly flew to China just three days after the incident – meaning that the person with power of attorney over his affairs is out of the country, meaning there is nobody to declare him brain-dead if he is indeed in a coma or otherwise mentally unfit to do his job, which it was unclear that he was capable of doing before.
Is she hiding in China to keep him alive as a vegetable?
In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election, and that date is August 3rd.
If a special election was called, Trump’s vocal critic Thomas Massie would certainly run and likely win – which would be a HUGE headache for Trump and his agenda. If he didn’t win, he would split the vote, allowing a Democrat like Charles Booker to fill the seat.
That’s why they’re trying to conceal his condition as long as possible.
Either way, this is absolutely unacceptable. Mitch McConnell is the chair of the important Senate Rules Committee.
We cannot allow Republicans to just lie to the American people and treat their jobs like its a position they OWN, especially when so much is at stake and one vote could change history forever.
Republicans need to tell us what the hell is going on with Mitch McConnell, ASAP.
Senator Tammy Duckworth is everything Trump isn’t — a hero, a patriot, and someone who understands the cost of war ❤️🩹
As an Army helicopter pilot, she smelled the dust, the jet fuel, and the sweat-soaked body armor as she climbed into her Black Hawk on November 12, 2004.
It was supposed to be another routine mission north of Baghdad. It wasn't.
A rocket-propelled grenade ripped through the cockpit floor beneath her feet and exploded. It destroyed both her legs and tore into her right arm. But she didn't know. Running on pure adrenaline, she tried to press the pedals, not knowing her legs were gone. She pulled the cyclic stick. She fought to steer the helicopter toward a landing spot as black smoke filled the cockpit.
She kept trying to fly until her body gave out and she lost consciousness.
The pilot beside her, Dan Milberg, looked over and thought she was dead. Face blackened, body slumped forward, blood everywhere. He landed the shattered helicopter. Then one of her crew members noticed something. The blood in the cockpit was still moving. Her heart was still beating.
She was alive.
Duckworth was airlifted to a surgical hospital in Baghdad. She lost her right leg near the hip and her left leg below the knee. She was 36 years old and became the first female double amputee of the Iraq War. She was awarded a Purple Heart and promoted to Major while recovering at Walter Reed.
But she didn't stop. She served another ten years in the Illinois Army National Guard, retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. Then she ran for office and became a U.S. Senator from Illinois. She was among the first handful of Army women ever to fly combat missions.
She chose helicopters because it was one of the few combat roles open to women at the time.
She once said: "I love ugly aircraft, machines that look like they shouldn't even be able to fly. The more brutal the better. And that's why I'm a helicopter pilot."
A hero.
A patriot.
Someone who understands the true cost of war — because she PAID it.

A woman glanced at my dog and said he looked “dangerous.” She even questioned why a German Shepherd like him should be allowed on a plane at all. Let me introduce you to Drake. The same dog she felt uneasy about spent six years working with Marine Special Operations. Drake is a highly trained Multi-Purpose Canine. While most people instinctively move away from danger, his role has always been to run directly toward it. Here’s what he’s done: He has tracked high-value targets during critical missions. He has located hidden explosives before they could harm anyone. He was shot twice while protecting the team he served with. That scar on his shoulder? It came from shrapnel during an IED blast in Helmand Province. Even while injured and bleeding, Drake kept going and identified four more explosive devices nearby, helping keep his team safe. And that slight limp you noticed? It’s from taking multiple rounds during an ambush while shielding his handler. Because of him, a young Marine made it home alive to his child. Drake has been awarded a Navy Commendation Medal and a Purple Heart. He’s also credited with helping save over forty lives. And here’s the part that truly matters — he has never bitten a single person. The only things he’s ever gone after were threats to the people he was trained to protect. So no, I won’t be moving my seat. But if you’d like, you’re more than welcome to thank him for his service. If Drake’s story changed the way you see him… Comment “Drake” below. I’d love to show you what Drake is like now — the calm, loyal side of him, and the way he still quietly watches over everyone around him. | Dogs Are Our World

A new beginning and end of an era in Toronto sports: Rogers announces this morning they have taken over 100% ownership of MLSE (had previously owned 75%). The transaction brings to an end Larry Tanenbaum’s remarkable 28-year run as shareholder, almost all as MLSE chair.
John Schneider ended his postgame media avail applauding the @CANMNT_Official on their World Cup run:
“They had a good run, and it was fun to watch them. So, from the Canadian team to the Canadian team on Fourth of July, congrats…”
🚨 BREAKING:
US President Donald Trump:
"If my children invest in something, every single time they have insider information."
Are we having fun yet, America?
@smerconish Congrats Michael. As a Canadian, we've always felt that the US was an amazing place with some nice people. But it's also a shitshow, with a deadly faulty political system, corrupt courts and a country that bombs and kills people with impunity. Your "better people" gave us Trump.
