[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

As a result of these days, we see clear support from Europe. Even more unity, even more willingness to cooperate.

Everyone is united on the main issue – for peace to be real, we need real security guarantees. And this is the position of all of Europe – the entire continent. The United Kingdom, the European Union, Türkiye.

Of course, we understand the importance of America, and we are grateful for all the support we’ve received from the United States. There has not been a day when we haven’t felt gratitude. It’s gratitude for the preservation of our independence – our resilience in Ukraine is based on what our partners are doing for us – and for their own security.

What we need is peace, not endless war. And that’s why we say security guarantees are the key to this.

@PeterGuthrie99 This is an action of courage, integrity and respect for citizens.

Thank you for standing for the principles and promises made on the doorstep.

Words are empty, actions are solid and you have demonstrated why you deserve my continued trust.

God bless.

Hey @McDonaldsCanada I know it's called an Iced Coffee, but this is abuse.

@KyleTWN Thanks @KyleTWN for your responding to my question!

[Ron McMahon @ronmcmahon]

A question @KyleTWN

Is there a word to describe how the air in the summer has a warmer feel and the air in the winter has a colder feel than the posted temperature?

A house at 21° in winter feels colder than the same temperature in the summer...is there a term for this?

[Ron McMahon @ronmcmahon]

@TangerineBank No, this hasn't been resolved. Your agent promised a reply in 2 hours...it's been 8 hours and no call.

I tried calling your bank late this evening, your system promised a 5-minute wait... I stopped the call after waiting 35 minutes.

Clearly @TangerineBank doesn't care about me

[Ron McMahon @ronmcmahon]

I wonder how many other Canadians are also locked out of their @TangerineBank account today after being forced to set up two-factor authentication.

2+ hours holding and talking to staff who are unable to fix this...telling me that the "help desk" will reply in the next 5 days.

@MarkGerretsen Is there a list of national citizen happiness or national unity, perhaps a list of positive / negative comments in social media (a measure of contentment).

Sure, Canada is great, but there sure seems to be a lot of grumbling...perhaps that's just life and social media?

[Ron McMahon @ronmcmahon]

Well, that was fun...two in a row.

@PopMathobela I believe the answer is 40.

[Ron McMahon @ronmcmahon]

@Evan_Menzies @jkenney I dunno...I'd rather have the enormous potholes on Deerfoot Trail repaired than to celebrate having ever-shrinking dollars in the bank.

How is shirking basic infrastructure maintenance any sort of 'Alberta Advantage'?

If I wanted taxes and no services I'd vote @liberal_party

[Ron McMahon @ronmcmahon]

Another fun one...

I just submitted my question for @VIA_Rail 2022 Annual Public Meeting, scheduled for August 9. I wonder what the likelihood is that it will be answered.

Well @CBCHomestretch it's snowing / sleeting in Royal Oak...I wonder how much snow will be on the ground in the morning...

[Ron McMahon @ronmcmahon]

Big thank you to @southcentremall for finally installing a bike rack at it's south entrance. It's a good start.

@S_HastingsSimon I never have problems going by bike through @McDonalds drive through. A perfect way to top up my liquids on a hot summer day!

Today @VIA_Rail said:

Passenger rail is one of the most environmentally friendly modes of transportation. Switching to trains as a means of travel is better for the environment.

So, when do you plan to return service to Calgary?
