Hey @WestJet, I'll tweet my travels with #WestJet: Remember that time you didn't have a #WestJet plane for us at Xmas and told us to our faces you'd reimburse our expenses after we waited in line at a #WestJet counter for 6 hours? Then decided not to? Good times with #WestJet

@PeeJayAitch All the emojis are smiling 😀, very positive! Even the turd is happy. Maybe it's a woke conspiracy designed to take away our freedom to write angry messages?

@gracekenn @currentfv @ty_olsen Congrats @gracekenn! Your coverage will be missed!

1. When I was deciding whether to leave my old newspaper job to start The Current, I kept coming back to one key fact: Not every part of the journalism industry was contracting and shrinking and getting worse. There was hope. There was real growth.

I'm so honoured to have been a part of Channeling Youth Voices, an unforgettable project. It's all about the incredible people who were SO brave in being vulnerable and telling their stories. Making such a sacrifice to help others who might have similar experiences. Thank you ❤️

In 2021, four Fraser Valley artists created a series of paintings with a clear focus on increasing awareness of the systemic racism faced by Black people and inspiring concrete action to tackle its existence globally and locally. https://t.co/qL8urh0nSS

⚡️Zelensky: "What the occupiers are doing in Kharkiv, Okhtyrka, Kyiv, Odesa, and other cities and towns merits an international tribunal.

We record all their crimes."

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

⚡️Zelensky: They lied they wouldn't touch the civilians, but from the first hours of the invasion, Russian troops were attacking civilian infrastructure.

They deliberately chose tactics to strike at people and everything that makes life normal - electricity, hospitals, homes.

⚡️Ukraine launches a website to help Russian families find their relatives killed in combat.

The Interior Ministry has launched https://t.co/MHSNGGW5Sb, where it publishes photos and documents of the dead and captured Russian soldiers.

I dare a single Canadian to complain about their lack of freedom for being offered a life-saving vaccine at no cost, when 40 million Ukrainians are under the deadly weight of tyranny.
