Since the creation of the North-West Mounted Police in 1873, 246 members have lost their lives in the line of duty. Each member who made the ultimate sacrifice leaves behind loved ones – today, as the @RCMPGRCPolice National Memorial Service takes place, we’re thinking of them.

@thomasdaigle @mevansCBC @lily_martin Margaret's journalism is the best.

This was the scene In London’s Trafalgar Square this afternoon - a solid foundation, a turbulent sky and a crowning rainbow.

Some helpful context for the next weeks while we are in this respiratory season: masks and testing are tools, NOT restrictions. Even if mandated. They are part of our power to protect communities and still participate in #safecovidliving. They are not restrictions.

Curious to know why I'm hearing #MTO and #OPP will not step in to stop the proliferation of those "F" Trudeau signs & flags along major highways? They're a disgrace and shouldn't meet anyone's idea of 'community standards.'

During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”

The events in Ukraine make the truck convoy look silly and puerile.

@ianhanomansing You most certainly did make the right choice. Excellent coverage as always.

Zelensky, the president of #Ukraine, just said Putin will try to take #Kyiv tonight. He's there and knows full well the danger he is in. President Zelenksy is only 44 and has young kids. There must be more the world can do!

Putin’s war on Ukraine has brought the past to the present, and made the future very uncertain https://t.co/wm4ER4jDQ3

Putin is one awful human being
