At least they don't all gather together for a hug after every point like they do in volleyball

It's important to note that the new Alberta Tory party leader, Pete Guthrie, has been very outspoken about his support for Alberta remaining in Canada

P.S. the electorate sees the Conservative leader as being repulsive and weak

as much as we like to mock the nitwits who are the Trump administration, the move to end action on climate change is truly alarming

yup, the Premier is willing to sacrifice almost anything--including a divisive referendum on independence--in order to remain in power

The Canadian far-right is marinating in the same online swamps as the American far-right.

when responding to Trump's latest threat, we need to keep in mind that his attention span is measured in minutes

this outburst was caused by a meeting with Moroun. Trump obviously knew nothing about this new bridge and reacted predictably, wanting to be seen as The Dude In Charge Knowing Everything

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen:
"We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."

When the #corruptUCP try to malign teachers and the ATA as sex traffickers and groomers. Just shove this real fact back in their faces.

​A screenshot of a post from the account Acyn featuring a video of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). The text of the post quotes AOC speaking about the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, drawing parallels to Gaza.
​She describes a "new era of depravity" where innocent civilians are starved or deprived because their political regimes are found "objectionable." She emphasizes the need to defend human rights, mentioning the risk of hospitals running out of fuel and children being put in harm's way. The video thumbnail shows AOC walking through a hallway while being interviewed by a reporter holding a microphone.
​Would you like me to help you draft more QRTs based on these specific images or provide a deeper summary of the AOC video?

The United States is purposefully blockading Cuba from accessing fuel that powers everything from grocery stores to hospitals. People will die. Children will die. What's being done to the people of Cuba is monstrous.

The people in power were ok with it in Gaza and now they're doing it to Cuba.

The visual of bad bunny giving away his Grammy contrasted with Trump who bullied a Hispanic woman into giving him her Nobel Peace Prize is.... fucking genius.

The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER! It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World. This β€œShow” is just a β€œslap in the face” to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day β€” including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD β€” And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Black-and-white photograph of Billy Bishop seated in the open cockpit of an early biplane aircraft. He is turned slightly toward the camera, wearing a dark jacket, with short hair visible. The aircraft’s metal fuselage, struts, cables, and part of the wing structure fill the foreground and upper frame. Trees and a building appear blurred in the background.

The Germans called him "Hell's Handmaiden".
Each time he returned to his aerodrome, his airplane was riddled with bullet holes.
No British Empire First World War pilot had more confirmed air victories than him.
This is the story of Billy Bishop.

this reminds me of this story

"Not only had "creationism" and "creationist" literally been replaced, apparently via a word processor, with "intelligent design" and "design proponent"," but sloppy global replacement lead to "Cdesign Proponentsists"
