Tucker Carlson: As of right now, Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz. It did not when this war began. Trump is not a great diplomat. He is not good at this. What we're learning is Trump is a spotty Commander in Chief and not a dealmaker.
We have liftoff! 🚀
If you said 10 years ago we’d launch rockets from rural NS, people would call you crazy. Today, it happened.
Great to join @Astro_Jeremy & partners at Canso Spaceport. This project means sovereign launch capacity, security, & good jobs for NS! 🌌
🚨 Russia just threatened Canada.
The country that started the biggest war in Europe since Hitler — the one bombing apartment blocks and stealing Ukrainian kids — went on state TV today and called CANADA the warmonger. 🇨🇦
Why? Because we agreed to build drones for Ukraine on Canadian soil.
So Moscow's mouthpiece, Maria Zakharova, announced Russia will publicly publish the addresses of those Canadian factories "so people can be informed."
That's not a press release. That's a target list.
Every accusation is a confession. They invade, then call the victims terrorists. They threaten our factories, then cry that WE'RE the dangerous ones. Pure projection, and it only works if we flinch.
We don't flinch.
I broke the whole thing down — the threat, the playbook, and why the only correct Canadian answer is "absolutely not, now build more drones." 👇🔗 https://t.co/PxQQhSdWZh
Subscribe. Share it with your Ukraine-skeptic uncle. Informed Canadians aren't optional right now.

Wait, so ALBERTA IS BOOMING … under the oppressive federal yoke? Under the Nine Bad Laws? You mean the richest province in Canada is getting even richer? Clearly there’s no alternative but to bust up the country.
I’d respond directly but the premier’s chief of staff blocked me.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
The CFIA just banned livestock imports from Texas, and honestly, good.
New World screwworm was eradicated from North America in the 1960s. It took decades of effort to get rid of it. Now it’s back, confirmed in Texas, and a second case just popped up days after the first.
This is a flesh-eating parasite. The larvae literally consume living tissue from the inside out. It can kill an animal. It can spread through wildlife with no respect for borders.
Texas is calling it an “overreaction.” The same Texas whose governor just declared a state of disaster over it.
Canada has the tightest North American cattle supply in 75 years. We don’t have the luxury of gambling on a parasite re-establishing itself here because someone got offended by a precautionary import ban.
Buy Canadian beef. 🇨🇦
82 years ago today Scotty from Star Trek was shot 6 times during D-Day while fighting for Canada during WWII. On June 6, 1944, James M. Doohan of Vancouver, later of Sarnia, landed at Juno Beach while serving in the Canadian Army. He was wounded six times later that day by friendly fire and later became best known as Scotty on Star Trek. 🇨🇦
I don’t really think it’s about me Karoline. I think it’s about the idea that we all have fallen down and that we all wish we could be a little kinder to each other. And we all hope for a little grace and understanding when we get honest with ourselves and the world. And we all have that friend or brother or parent or son that has fucked up but fought to get back on their feet. Or that may be you. Or it may be the one that lost the battle and we are mourning them every day- and asking why couldn’t he fight for himself. Whatever it is- it’s not about me. It’s about all of us. So I genuinely ask you to forget about me- and reach out to someone you love who is struggling and tell them you’ll fight alongside them if they will fight for themselves.
Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.
After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.
After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever
