It’s not tariffs, Canadians are angry because our friends to the south elected a fascist government which regards Canadian independence as a threat and has the stated intention of destroying and looting both Canada and Greenland WE ARE NOT VASSAL STATES!

Lords a-leaving: Britain is ejecting hereditary nobles from Parliament after 700 years Britain is ending the centuries-old tradition of hereditary aristocrats sitting in Parliament’s House of Lords.

More Epstein files consequences land.

Bonus: article contains the phrase "Lords behaving badly" which is surely a rule 34 exception (do not google that)

Less than a week ago it was covered in three feet of snow, I can’t believe it’s almost all gone.

On a wooden table sits a plate of fried rice with diced chicken, peppers, edamame, and bean sprouts. Four mini wontons are at the top of the plate. A beer glass with “Canadian” embossed on it is filled with water.

Chicken fried rice for my meal tonight.

Pasta bowl with rigatoni tubes, sautéed mushrooms, and spinach coated in a light creamy ricotta sauce. A glass of rosé sits next to a slice of garlic bread resting on the top of the bowl.

Tonight’s meal is rigatoni with a mushroom spinach and ricotta light cream sauce.

This. This shit is why Canada is boycotting USA, lead by the people, not a directive. Even joking about it is extremely rude to us.

It's difficult to end a war if you don't know why you started it in the first place.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

This could never work in #NovaScotia for some reason. Premier Tim Houston wants workers downtown, not that he’s ever there.

I never head “eh?” much in my part of the country before Bob and Doug put it in every sentence. Now the whole country wears it like a flag pinned to a backpack. However I can attest that the inhaled “Yeah”, aka the Gaelic Gasp, starts pretty much every one of our replies here in Atlantic Canada.

If only there was another war I could think of in recent memory involving the US in the Middle East, where regime change was promised, didn’t happen, victory was declared and then the whole thing was repeated catastrophically badly at a later date. 🤔

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Translated from Arabic Show original
His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, the Most Exalted—may God protect and preserve him— sent a congratulatory cable to His Eminence Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on the occasion of his selection as Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In it, His Majesty the Sultan expressed his best wishes to him for success and sound guidance in assuming his leadership responsibilities in his friendly country.

Just a reminder that Muslims have been on this continent since the first arrival of non-Indigenous people. They were among the first generation of Americans, and have been here ever since.

Dear media,
When you ask Mike Johnson about Andy Ogles' hateful tweet against Muslims and Johnson says he knows nothing about it, hand him a printout of the tweet and ask him to read it. "It's just 10 words, Mr. Speaker. Please read it. Now, what do you think?"

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”
