❗️The kamikaze drone that struck the British airbase RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus was equipped with Russian military hardware.

The drone contained a Russian-made Kometa-B navigation system, which was first identified in drones intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses in December.

"The West started the war in Ukraine" - Putin.

The most interesting thing is that people believe this lie, and not only in Russia.

That is why it is so important to counter propaganda and constantly repeat the facts:
The war was started and is being waged by Putin and Russia.

I don't often get emotional seeing the dogs off as I know they get a forever home and it free's up some space.

But seeing Twix leave yesterday was hard as I've known him since feeding him as a dumped tiny puppy. He's made it off the streets!!!

The Tyee is proud to have published this important investigation by @rachelgilmore.bsky.social. We condemn this egregious harassment of a journalist for doing her job, and have offered support as she deals with this disturbing situation.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Logging in to provide further proof, so all the conservative influencers and β€œjournalists” stop downplaying this.

Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald (who showed up to intimidate me) is a SELF-DESCRIBED Nazi.

Alex Vriend, who Western Standard platformed, is a SELF-DESCRIBED white nationalist.

Receipts.

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

IFM Investors wants to pump $10b into Canada Canadian PM Mark Carney has shown β€œa real willingness to welcome inbound, like-minded capital”, says IFM’s global head of infrastructure, Kyle Mangini.

Excited about Carney's sales trip to Australia?

"... $10 billion into Canadian infrastructure over the next decade if the global investment group can secure favourable tax rates and Canada sells off government-owned assets such as airports and roads."

CBS’ Mamdani Mania Under Bari Weiss’ leadership, CBS News staffers are increasingly worried the network’s editorial priorities are mirroring The Free Press, particularly in coverage of New York mayor Zohran Mamdani.

A person close to Mamdani told @nataliekorach.bsky.social that Bari Weiss "doesn’t even have the dignity to pretend to be unbiased."

"The lack of journalistic integrity, and blatant hostility, could make Fox News blush," the person added.

Collage of portraits and historical photographs featuring several women arranged against a light background. At the upper left is a pencil portrait of Charlotte Small with braided hair and a headscarf. To the upper right are smaller portraits including Barbara Frum speaking into a radio microphone and Maud Abbott in an academic gown. In the center are colour and black-and-white portraits of Michelle Douglas in a Canadian Armed Forces uniform and Judy LaMarsh wearing glasses and a pearl necklace. Along the lower section are Carrie Best reading a newspaper titled β€œThe Clarion,” Kim Campbell wearing medals in a formal portrait, Hide Hyodo Shimizu teaching two children in front of a chalkboard reading β€œHastings Park,” and Bobbie Rosenfeld seated with medals and a trophy. On the right side is a large image of Mary Two-Axe Earley gesturing while speaking, wearing glasses and a large pendant necklace. A faint β€œCanadian History Ehx” logo appears near the center of the collage.

It is International Women's Day.
There have been many, many amazing women who have shaped Canada's history.
I have chosen to feature ten of those women.
These are their amazing stories.
