“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas & city center in 2021.”
Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death
The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York.

Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude.

EU need to step up.

CANADA: May correctly calls out Poilievre for stealing from the Trump/Project 2025 playbook again.

Oh, and it’s ANOTHER good day to remind everyone that Poilievre STILL hasn’t done the normal security check, still hasn’t received the standard security clearance that EVERYONE in his position gets.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

“In 2018, when he was the party's leader, Scheer posed with Alleslev after she jumped from the Liberals to join the Conservative benches, calling out Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership along the way.”

So past “defections” that HELPED the Conservatives in Canada were fine?

Poilievre won’t say how he’ll vote on the federal budget — but he’s happy to blame Liberals for the deficit 👀

CBC reminds us: the biggest deficit in Canadian history came under Harper, with Poilievre in cabinet.
