Thanks to organizers of #MedPhys #WizKidz program - it is good to create awareness about medical physics - to catch talent early

Trying to be optimistic - I hope all this will lead to Canada building stronger ties with Europe, Mexico, and others & separate ourselves from the US. Sorry to the few decent Americans left but we cannot trust a country so rotten to the core. The rest of the world will move on without you.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Americans about to begin the “find out” stage of FAFO.

The Most Relevant Movie in Theaters Is Poised to Make Oscar History. It Would Be a Shameful First. It swept the critics’ awards and seems like an Oscars lock, yet it still doesn’t have a distributor.

congratulations to No Other Land, which may be the first film to win a major Oscar but not theatrical distribution.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

Pictured: Gladys West-the mathematical and computer programming expert who created an accurate model of the Earth, which was the foundation for GPS. She was inducted into the US Air Force Hall of Fame, one of the highest honors offered by the Air Force.

Most of us have used Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation & we can thank Gladys West for creating the foundation for GPS.

She used her mathematical & programming expertise to invent an accurate model of the Earth.

She was inducted into the US Air Force Hall of Fame.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

And now is the time when we see what companies REALLY gots women’s backs,,, the world is watching 👀

Trump’s executive orders are not law.

This doctor knows it. Many hospital systems know it.

Those that comply with something not passed by congress and with power not constitutionally granted to the president are cowardly.
