Today, we join Armenian communities in Canada and around the world in commemorating Armenian Genocide Memorial Day.

We honour those who endured unimaginable suffering during this dark chapter in history. Through our remembrance, we commit to vigilance — so that such atrocities are never repeated.

I suppose when pretending to align one’s moral compass with whatever direction might get you to your goal fails, you revert back… Turkey’s recent support of the so-called peace agreement framework that excludes any prospects of the return of the prisoners is an indicator…

[Rouben @roubent]

Wait… this isn’t an April 1 release… so there has got to be an ulterior motive. Is Turkey that desperate to get into the EU? WTF is going on?

[Rouben @roubent]

@CP24 Yeah, @facebook is teeming with these ads. Some of them impersonate, quite well, traditional Canadian media outlets like @globalnews @CP24 @CBC @TorontoStar and many others. I tried reporting these for fraud and impersonation and in 90% of the cases my reports were dismissed. 😡

[Rouben @roubent]

@alectranews Seems to have been resolved…

[Rouben @roubent]

@hooverfences No, because it’s not news. @CBCNews not sure how you feel about these people impersonating you.

[Rouben @roubent]

Hey @CBCNews and @CBC how do you feel about ads impersonating your websites, pushing scammy financial schemes all over social media?

Breaking: Turkey stunningly discovers moral clarity.

Hey @elonmusk and @grok , how practical would it be to automatically add Grok’s fact checking as a community note for every post that reaches a certain level of public exposure (not sure what that threshold should be)?

@timruss2 Here’s a full Grok analysis. https://t.co/eREyoyRDpT TL;DR: he’s not 100% wrong but seems to overgeneralize the executive orders’ intent. The orders do not call for deleting historical content, and the military’s broad interpretation risks erasing important military history.

@TooNooooooooo @bowtiedbal56232 @NicoleArbour @GassmanTaylor @_wtfsteve_ Post-modernist liberal argumentation: when logic fails (or you fail at logic) switch to ad hominem attacks. Sigh…

@ayeejuju Toronto is already there.

Interesting analysis of the @PierrePoilievre controversy regarding his refusal to accept security clearances to be able to be briefed on matters of national security. As usual, @grok offers a fairly detailed summary. https://t.co/duqBq3wgal
