Remember this America? It was Canada not your new Allies - Russia, Israel and North motherf'ing Korea. It was Canada who was there for you. The same Canada you are now attacking. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU
Large amounts of wildfire smoke are moving from the northwestern US into western Canada this evening!
What should we do?
Try to stop it at the border? Should we tariff it? Should we sue?
This is one of the dumbest takes I've seen today.
Funny... when California's wildfires filled Canadian skies with smoke, we didn't demand America "stop exporting smoke."
We sent firefighters and water bombers instead.
That's what good neighbours do! 🇨🇦
Community policing looks a bit different when the @FIFAWorldCup is in town! Our officers celebrated alongside fans, both international and local, during Day 1 of @FWC26Boston Fan Fest on City Hall Plaza!
Canadian fans high-fiving Bosnia supporters stuck in the home crowd before their World Cup match.
Classic Canadian kindness, polite, friendly, and genuinely welcoming even on game day. 🇨🇦🤝🇧🇦
Denmark prepared for a possible U.S. attack: Flew blood supplies to Greenland and planned to blow up runways
Key sources in Denmark and Europe are now revealing for the first time what happened during the most critical days, when Donald Trump threatened to take Greenland “the hard way.”
When Danish soldiers were rapidly deployed to Greenland in January this year, they brought explosives with them. The plan was to destroy runways in Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq to prevent American military aircraft from landing troops on the island, should the U.S. president ultimately decide to seize Greenland by force.
They also transported blood supplies from Danish blood banks so wounded personnel could be treated in case of combat.
This is reported by DR, which over the past year has spoken with central sources in the Danish government, top military officers, and high-ranking officials and intelligence sources in Denmark, France, and Germany.
All sources have played—and continue to play—key roles in the international crisis triggered by the United States’ demand for control over Greenland.
Together, the sources describe an unprecedented year marked by sleepless nights. None of them had concrete intelligence of specific American attack plans against Greenland. Still, many feared in January that the historically important ally, the United States, could attack at any moment.
At the same time, Denmark reached out to its European allies, leading to closer cooperation.
“With the Greenland crisis, Europe realized once and for all that we must be able to handle our own security,” said a French senior official involved in the intense period.
A rapid-response force consisting of Danish, French, German, Norwegian, and Swedish soldiers was first deployed to Nuuk and Kangerlussuaq.
Shortly after, a main force followed, including:
-Soldiers from the Danish Dragoon Regiment in Holstebro
-Elite troops from the Jaeger Corps
-French alpine troops trained for cold and mountainous warfare
At the same time, Danish fighter jets and a French naval vessel were sent to the North Atlantic.
According to several sources, the goal of having multinational troops on the ground was to ensure that any U.S. attempt to take Greenland would require a large-scale hostile action—thereby deterring such an attempt.
“We have not been in such a situation since April 1940,” said a Danish defense source, referring to the days before Denmark’s occupation during World War II.
Unlike in 1940, when Denmark chose not to resist militarily, the government and defense leadership this time decided—after extensive confidential discussions—to take the opposite approach:
If the U.S. attempted an attack, Danish forces would be armed and ready to fight. Danish F-35 fighter jets deployed north were also fully armed.
All this despite the understanding that Denmark could not realistically withstand a U.S. military attack.
“The cost for the U.S. had to be raised. The U.S. would have to carry out a hostile act to take Greenland,” said a senior Danish defense source.

As Trump pleads for Australia & others to send ships & personnel to the Hormuz Strait, we need to remember what he said about our past sacrifices,
"We’ve never needed them …They’ll say they sent some troops…& they did, they stayed a little back, a little off the frontlines."🤷🏻♂️
Trump: ‘This should have always been a team effort’.
After,
• Placing tariffs on his allies
• Threatening not to defend them
• Abandoning Ukraine
• Insulting allies who went into Afghanistan and Iraq with the USA
Trump is talking about ‘team effort’.
Fuck Off!
There aren't that many unwritten rules about being President.
But I'd think one of them is, you don't dance around like a jackass to YMCA if you just sent men and women in uniform off to die in a foreign war of your own making.
While Putin is helping Iran target Americans, Zelensky is helping the US and its allies shoot down Iranian drones.
Yet Trump appears angrier at Zelensky than at Putin.
Can anyone be a bigger traitor and a bigger idiot than Trump?
