She’s been silent long enough. If the Earth could speak, would we dare to listen, or just talk louder over her tired sighs? #Environment #Reflection
When Mother Earth Finally Speaks
We’ve written songs about her beauty, built religions around her gifts, and plastered her image on reusable shopping bags. We call her “Mother Earth,” but most days, we treat her more like a convenient landlord who lets us stay rent-free while we tear up the floors. We speak of saving the planet, but maybe it’s time we stop talking for her, and listen to her instead.

Missed this important message this morning?

The planet doesn’t need our rescue. She needs our respect, our humility, and maybe a little growing up. #Nature #LifeLessons

And THAT’s how the fight started…
A funny of situation showing how easily a fight can start.

I've often compared Sam Montembeault and Stuart Skinner: inconsistent, bad rebound control, average goalies placed in a starter role. Both are really struggling this season.

The #LetsGoOilers have no other choice, but the #GoHabsGo have Dobeš... but his coach doesn't trust him. #Habs

Whether you're American, Canadian, Mexican or from any other country, do you agree that pedophiles should be in jail, regardless of their income?

Can we at least agree on that? Looking to you specifically, MAGA...

It wasn’t just a uniform. It was history, sacrifice, and freedom stitched into fabric. And the kids understood. #LestWeForget #CanadianPride
The Uniform That Still Speaks
It was the day after Remembrance Day in a small Canadian town, where poppies still clung to winter jackets and flags remained lowered a little longer out of respect. The ceremonies were over, but the meaning lingered in the air, like the distant echo of a bugle. At a corner booth inside a modest family-run pizzeria, an elderly man sat with his wife.

Really well written, JD. Too many are forgetting the importance of being a gentleman.

True gentlemen didn’t open doors to impress; they did it to honour. Chivalry was never about weakness, it was about character. And that kind of strength never goes out of style. #Gentleman #Respect
Chivalry: The Gentleman’s Code
There was a time when being a gentleman wasn’t something men talked about; it was something they lived. Back then, gallantry wasn’t a show, it was second nature. It came from the heart and showed in the smallest of gestures, the ones that spoke louder than any words. Men once made it their duty to make a woman feel valued. They would open car doors and building doors, rise when she entered the room, or tip their hat with a warm smile.
