How Canada and Denmark "Fought" the Whiskey War It has been so inspiring to see Canada standing with the people of Greenland and Denmark.

The story of the Canada/Denmark Whiskey war of 2022.
And also the story of how a small group of Canadian soldiers stopped the Soviet tanks at the Denmark border and secured the freedom of the Danish people.
Allies.

Dear Pam Bondi, (A Letter From A Father) Dear Ms Bondi,

This piece has been viewed over 14 million times over the last 48 hours. Unbelievable.

I'm so encouraged to see how many people are as disgusted by this as I am.

Sometimes you just need to be reminded that you're not alone.

Keep fighting, good people!

Don't forget about the young lady who had the presence of mind to stop and check that the library door was locked. The 12 year old hero that paid a price for her deed and now lies in hospital...I don't pray, but if there is some entity in the universe watching, this might be a good time to step up.

When I was a teen, a friend had a 1964 Vauxhall Victor. His neighbor had a tiny garage he let us use...about 10' wide with a wooden floor. We were trying to patch rust holes as best we could with this song playing on the car radio. Another memory resurrected by music.

My Canada includes Alberta...it just doesn't include entitled assholes! When this separation bid is over and failed, lets all escort them, in a kind Canadian way, to the u s boarder...where I'm sure that I C E will be gleefully waiting...

Had a 69 Cortina 2-door in high school. All the guys wanted to drive it because all they had was the family automatic and I drove a 4 speed! Teach me how to drive this thing! ...ended up putting a clutch in it!๐Ÿ˜€

Retired auto tech, here. I was digging through some old boxes yesterday and found one of these I saved...socket and element complete. After seeing this, I may hang it on the wall as a conversation piece!

Not sure about 'fantail', but in June, when it's rainin' hard, and that big puddle forms by the tracks on Kings Road...me and my 67 Biscayne can rooster tail like nothin' you ever seen...don't stand on the sidewalk...a true Canadian sorry to those that don't listen.

No snow in CB as of 7PM. Put the car toward the back of the garage...snowblower in front...may head to NSLC for some 'storm chips' before it all starts!

Wore the 8-track out in my car! I still have the...dare I say it...CD, but I no longer have anything to play it on. Must look for my old external drive.

Great post,great statement! I'll stand with all Canadians, average,everyday folks or those in position of power and influence.Those who choose to raise Canada up instead of forcing our great land to submit to their whims! Appreciate this nation for what it is...respected and envied around the world!

It almost seems like I can hear your voice in the late night, playing through a cheap, tinny little speaker...I may not always 'like' or 'reply', but I hear you...you help to make it OK...bringing memories that kick at the darkness... and remember, I'm out there...listening...always listening...

Our old farmhouse turns 121 this year. On cold nights, when all of those cast iron rads and pipe start to warm up, they make very intersting sounds! I find it comforting...my house talks to me!

This is a disturbing photo,IF it's real.In the new world of AI,my trust in a photo is gone.It's gotten to the point where all photos of this consequence need to be accompanied with verification.Why is(maybe) trump casting a shadow,but the children are not.Not saying this IS AI,but I have questions
