Donating is more than an act of generosity. It's a feeling, a powerful pull that unites us. When you give, you're part of something greater — a community that lifts you up, a purpose that drives you, a connection that stays with you.

Donate today and experience the feeling!

Oh this is fucking hilarious. 😂

PM Carney on the Americans calling the alcohol ban an irritant: "You know what's an irritant? 50% tariffs on steel. 50% tariffs on aluminum. 25% tariffs on automobiles. All the tariffs on forest products. Those are more than irritants, those are violations of our trade deal."

These astronauts are just a balm: impossibly cheery, down to earth, committed, decent. They are clearly extraordinary people, and yet reassuringly normal. At a time when the news is dominated by people who are either cruel or corrupt or insane or incompetent or all of the above, they remind us not all is lost.

You mean like calling Canada the 51st state? Like that?

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

Impeach Trump.

NASA is the best of America, what America used to be: professional, science-based, dedicated to excellence, idealistic, and dazzlingly ambitious. May America one day recover its NASA soul.

Christ on a bike, it’s pretty much on track to wipe out almost all cervical cancer.

Don’t get vaccine advice from actors.

[Craig Baird - Canadian History Ehx @CraigBaird]

Bob Homme delighted generations of Canadians as The Friendly Giant.
While he was born in the United States, he adopted Canada as his home and Canada was a better place because of it.
Let's look up...waaaaay up...
This is the story of his life.
