Some guy from Winnipeg. Really bad at this. Things I like - news, gardening, beer, food, & democracy. Those "boring political things" matter.

Personally, I would have questioned a pic showing parachute jumps from a helicopter at low altitude... but maybe that's just me.

I'm starting to understand the appeal of Fox News in the US.

"Foreign tanker captains need to show some guts and risk certain death in an exploding ball of hellfire so americans can save 5 cents on a tank of gasoline."

Is very on brand for the US these days.

Speculation:

Kuwait shot down 3 US jets "accidently" because the US did not inform Kuwait they would be entering their air space. Kuwait saw 3 unidentified planes in bound and opened fire.

Basis for claim:

-incompetent SecDef/US regime
-arrogant assumptions of superiority leading to carelessness

Not sure if you intended it this way, but this reads as a very deep metaphor for the overall conflict.

Something is changing, clearly perceptable. It feels like the end is finally approaching, and in a good way. And this makes me incredibly hopeful for Ukraine. 🀞

"... worked out in his favour" 🀣🀣

It is literally the greatest strategic blunder of this century.

It's going so well that being served polonium tea is now less likely than "accidentally while cleaning his side arm" alone in his bunker.

You say "from Henry Ford to elon Musk..."

But I hear "check out our series on rich fascists"

No thanks, Forbes.

MB has an Affordable Energy Plan, which commits to "partnering" with Indigenous nations to generate 600 megawatts of wind power.

I'm hopeful it will be done properly, but the history of energy generation projects suggests a different pattern.

The Alberta Chiefs will not have their treaty lands traded away by the white supremacists pushing the break up of Canada.

Also... The dude got how many traffic tickets tossed out??

That means he got a bunch other cops to agree a number of times. So common that they'd do it for mere gift cards/booze.... but, no. Totally not a widespread issue. Pay no attention to any other officer not explicitly mentioned in this case.

This is a disaster. Can the governor call up the state's national guard to support disaster relief and law enforcement??

The people of #Minnesota have done everything right when it comes to peaceful protest. They've shown how it's done. Full respect.

But *peaceful* protest is not stopping gangs of violent nazis from murdering citizens.

When is a well regulated militia necessary for the security of a free state???

It's -30 in Winnipeg today. I would rather walk to work barefoot than visit your country.

"Not that we're reveling in anybody's misery"... but how's your tourism industry doing these days??
