MAGA fell for this fake line-up. Check out the last artist Lololol

A tweet from Graham Allen reads: “THIS WILL BE THE GREATEST HALF-TIME SHOW EVER!!! THIS 100% BEATS BAD BUNNY!!!” The attached poster reads “Turning Point USA: Kid Rock America’s Halftime Show” with a list of performers including Ted Nugent, Travis Tritt, Jason Aldean, Aaron Lewis, John Rich, Lee Greenwood, and Forgiato Blow, featuring a guest appearance from “Measles.” The design uses red, white, and blue patriotic motifs with an eagle and USA-themed graphics.

Harper inherited a $13.7 Billion surplus, which he quickly blew through. Then ran a decade of deficits. He then had a fake "balanced" budget ahead of the 2015 elxn by selling off GM stock at a $3.5B loss, taking $2B from the contingency fund, and underfunding Veterans Affairs. #cdnpoli 👇

Please watch Sean Fraser,
Attorney General of Canada.

Conservative’s push to end birthright citizenship (all their MPs also voted against women’s rights) shows we can’t afford to get distracted by 🇺🇸politics.

We’re one bad election away from risking 🇨🇦 democracy.

This year marks 150 years of the Supreme Court of Canada helping to shape this country, standing in ardent defence of Canadian democracy and in defence of our freedoms.
May its work continue so that 150 years from now, Canada remains the true North, strong, and free. #cdnpoli

On this day in 1825, the Miramichi Forest Fire destroyed the New Brunswick communities of Douglastown and Newcastle. It also destroyed 1/3 of the homes in Fredericton. At least 160 people were killed. The fire burned one-fifth of the forests in New Brunswick.

A black-and-white illustration depicting a dense forest with tall pine trees, engulfed in smoke and flames. In the foreground, a person on horseback appears to be fleeing or fighting, while another figure is visible amidst the burning trees. The scene is chaotic, with smoke swirling through the trees, and the title "La forêt en feu" is written below.
