Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy.

Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

#Ukrainians do not need to be persuaded that peace is needed. Ukrainians want peace more than anyone else, because war is our daily reality.

A lasting peace and a ceasefire depend on Russia, which started this war and continues to wage it.

There is no peace because Russia wants war⤵️

We hear you, #CopernicusEU Sentinel-6B! The Inuvik Satellite Station in Canada has received the first signals from the satellite. The orbit has been reached, and telemetry has begun to arrive at ESA's mission control in Germany!
Mission confirmed ✅

#CopernicusEU Sentinel-6B is now in orbit and ready to begin its Launch & Early Operations phase with @operations.esa.int. The satellite is ready to continue a decades-long mission to track the height of the planet’s seas – a key measure of climate change.

Happy launch anniversary to ESA's Hera mission! 🎂🥳

One year ago ESA's first planetary defence mission was stranded on Earth, its launcher grounded, as a hurricane closed in on its launch site. What a difference a year makes! www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

ESA's Planetary Defence Office observed the asteroid shortly after its discovery. This observation helped astronomers determine the close approach distance and time to such high precision.

The interaction with Earth's gravity significantly altered the asteroid's orbit around the Sun 👇

Asteroid 2025 TF flew over Antarctica at 00:47:26 UTC ± 18 s on 1 October, coming as close as 428 ± 7 km to Earth’s surface.

This is a similar altitude to the orbit of the International Space Station, and one of the closest approaches ever recorded.

Munich Airport shut down briefly on 2 October after drones were spotted near the runway. At least 17 flights were cancelled, 15 diverted, and 3,000 passengers affected. Police found no drones. Similar cases were reported across Europe, Der Spiegel says.

Every time I view my grocery bill, only the items NOT on the zero rated scale are taxed, i.e. milk, bread, fish, fruit, meats, etc., are never taxed.

When I review my weekly grocery bills, I average about $3 to $7 tax on items that are not part of the zero rated scale

REMINDER: Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.

They are barreling towards a wasteful, destructive government shutdown.

Social Security beneficiaries will pay the price in the form of ever-lengthening wait times — and potential benefit disruptions.
