I was lucky enough to visit Juno beach a decade ago.I wanted to visit the north most landing as our neighbour served with the North Shore Regiment that came ashore there. It was the only place outside Canada that I ever saw the NB flag proudly displayed.

🇨🇦 Tomorrow marks another anniversary of D-Day, and Canada's role in those events deserves far more than a brief mention.

On June 6, 1944, approximately 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed on Juno Beach, overcoming fear, intense enemy fire, and extraordinary pressure to help open the path to the liberation of Europe.

Many of them were barely older than teenagers. Many never made it home.

Their courage, selflessness, and sacrifice became part of the great victory over Nazism and helped lay the foundations of the freedom that millions of people enjoy today.

We remember their bravery. We honor their memory. 🇨🇦🌺

—"Current evidence does not support a universally
applicable threshold for alcohol consumption that maximizes health for all."
Associations:
—Increased risk of 10 cancers, pancreatitis, cirrhosis, tuberculosis, atrial fibrillation, pneumonia
—Decreased risk of ischemic heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, ischemic and hemorraghic stroke (with low-moderate intake)
"Our findings should not be interpreted as endorsing alcohol consumption for health benefits."

Canada’s Aluminium Is Going to Europe. Brilliant Work, Donald.

A 50% tariff on Canadian aluminium, the one country on Earth that was happily selling the stuff at sensible prices, right next door, through an integrated supply chain that took decades to build. And now that aluminium is sailing across the Atlantic to Europe instead.

Canadian exports to the EU went from near zero to between 6% and 40% of monthly totals in the space of a year. Just vanished eastward. Extraordinary result.

US consumers are now paying $6,200 a ton for aluminium. Europeans are paying $4,300.  American manufacturers taxed nearly two thousand dollars a ton more than their competitors. For beer cans. And car parts. And buildings. Tremendous. Nobody could have seen that coming, except everyone.

Meanwhile Europe, which was already scrambling after losing its Middle Eastern supply to the Iran war, now faces a 5.6 million-ton aluminium deficit in 2026. And Canada just filled it. With metal that used to go to America.

The head of the Aluminium Association of Canada put it with admirable restraint: the EU option “remains attractive,” adding pressure on the US market. What he meant was: Washington handed Europe a competitive advantage in manufacturing while American industry pays the bill.

This is what happens when a trade guru who has spent his career slapping his name on buildings in gold letters decides he understands global commodity flows. No leverage materialises. Just an empty dock in Ohio and a very pleased purchasing manager in Rotterdam.

Well done, Donald.

Conservative MPs call on the Minister of AAFC to immediately halt and reverse the Liberal govt's decision to close seven AAFC research & development centres & farm sites, which is impacting Canada’s food security and will harm Canada’s food production for years to come.

If you're healthy...

3 reasons NOT to get a WHOLE BODY MRI

1/ They do NOT⬇️cancer deaths or all-cause mortality

2/ ~30% of people need additional tests with RISKS- contrast reactions, radiation exposure, biopsy & surgical risks

3/ Over-diagnosis & over-treatment

The BNA sets certain conditions that were negotiated on the creation of Canada that resulted in the decision of NB & NS joining Upper & Lower Canada .These commitments still exist ! Nothing stops adding more seats to address concerns about representation in growing areas

[Mark Marissen @marissenmark]

This “average population per seat” problem doesn’t just apply to those three provinces, it applies to urban seats.

Rural voters have a disproportionately higher number of seats both federally and provincially, including in Alberta.

Urban voters in Alberta are also less likely to be separatist.

Our MPs and MLA's should represent people, not land.
