Canadian House of Commons Member Charlie Angus: Canadians are very proud of our traditions. We know, having lived next door to our neighbors… that while our taxes might be slightly higher, it doesn’t cost us a dime to go to the doctor…

She's fighting back.

The genuine shock on her face. They almost broke. What pros.
Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take.

It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨

Both Putin and Trump absolutely loathe Chrystia Freeland and have devoted an entire army of bots just to discredit her for years. If Canada has the brains to ignore the bots and put her in power again that will be one of the biggest hits against both Trump and Putin.
Freedland was one of the only finance/trade ministers globally who won concessions out of the last corrupt administration. And she'll do it again

I’m sure Canadians have to be a little baffled that Trump is complaining about drugs coming INTO this country from THEM, and threatening them because America’s drug issues are supposedly caused by Canadian traffickers.

Good thing there are no drugs going into Canada from us.

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

Canada's top military commander Jennie Carignan calls out the GOP for questioning women in combat: After 39 years as a combat arms officer and risking my life in many operations, I can’t believe that in 2024, we still have to justify women's contribution to defense and service in their country...

America would be a much better place if SOME people would stop freaking out over WHO we love, WHICH bathroom we use, and WHAT we do with our bodies.
