Looking at my file labelled "family women", with fond memories. Happy IWD! As my cousin said, it used to be a big day for meeting up and demonstrating. I love to see how it has brought people out all over US and Europe. #IWD ✊

Over 300,000 Canadians have signed the petition to strip Elon Musk of citizenship.
The petition doesn't have the force of law but it sends a strong message.
Canadians hate fascists and extremists.
It's in our DNA.
Let's make it the largest petition in CDN history.

Zelenskyy challenging a US official to join him in a visit to an active frontline is iconic.
Unlike other countries whose leadership wages war from thousands of miles away, he has visited the trench line on multiple occasions. Armed himself to fight Russian special forces sent to kill him in Kyiv.
