When it comes to the Christmas season in French Canada, one dish that is always loved is Tourtière.

This is the history of Tourtière!

The vile antisemitic terror attack at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach that took the lives of 11 people was an unspeakable act of hate and violence. To target people gathered in faith and joy is hate in its most violent form.

Fox is blaming RFK Jr. for the measles outbreak. They promoted him, supported his nomination, and now they are turning on him. 🙄

He was old and partially sighted when he fell in 4 days ago scared by a truck.

It wasn't the easiest rescue as the water is filthy with sewage there and he was biting a lot out of fear.

The little old guy is in our hospital now. Weak but nothing unfixable ♥️

Steve Bannon ripped off his own followers with his ‘build the wall’ scam. Trump pardons him. Then photos come out showing him hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein AFTER he was charged with child trafficking, and yet he somehow has an audience because really MAGA stands for nothing.

Threatened to cut off funding if they didn't cheat for him. Let's use simple words for what he was doing.
This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

If telling troops they must disobey unlawful orders is sedition, you’re gonna have to hang all the military academy instructors, boot camp drill instructors and training manual authors, along with every member of congress that authorized the UCMJ by voting yes on the most recent NDAA.
