CARNEY: I think about Canada...I think about expanding Canada elsewhere – our relationships elsewhere. We don't have imperial ambitions.

BUTTS: I thought we were going to break some news there.

CARNEY: That's the problem, you get in this office and all of a sudden you're an empire.

Russian window gets another: "Vyacheslav Leontyev, former editor of Pravda the official newspaper of the Russian Communist Party died tragically after falling from the 5th floor window of his Moscow apartment. Authorities report that he likely jumped following a "nervous breakdown." Sure he did.

Example of a Russian apartment window. NOT T-H-E window he 'jumped' from.

Not reacting to increasing fascism in the US (and Germany, once) was the reason that fascism was able to take over. Canada, take the lesson.

🤬 Russian military blew up the Togliatti-Odesa ammonia pipeline in a section in the Donetsk region near theRusyn Yar.

They want to slow down the advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. On this section, AFU are slowly moving towards the T0504 Pokrovsk-Kostyantynovka highway.

“Perhaps it is more illuminating to ask: is Alberta an actual province, or just a company town? The oil patch has intruded so far into Albertan institutions it is difficult to discern where private interests end, and public government begins.”
