It is with the heaviest heart that I say goodbye to PM Justin Trudeau. He has made us strong, informed and ready for what is coming. No one has given more for Canada. Loved it more dearly. And fought for it more bravely. Farewell to Canada’s most loyal son. A true Canadian hero. My hero.

The White House knows it tried to steal an election and stage a coup in Jan. 2021 with their help. Now it wants to bury the evidence beneath pardons. State AGs, you know what you need to do.

Great to be in Fredericton with Premier @susanholtnb.bsky.social today.
We’re focused on building Canada strong for New Brunswickers. That means building more homes and stronger infrastructure, transforming our forestry and resource industries to seize new markets, and bringing down costs.

A Russian blogger shared that many Russians do not realize how many Russian soldiers are dying in the war against Ukraine.
"For these two small cities [Pokrovsk and Bakhmut], Russia has already killed 80-100 thousand of its own soldiers. It wasn't Ukraine that killed them, it was Russia," he says.

A social experiment that was performed by Nikalie Monroe (on TikTok) has been getting heard.
She called local churches, a mosque (who said yes A.SA.P.) to see if they would help feed a hungry baby. The answers, if anything, we're shocking!
Most said no; 8 said yes (or of ~30).
