Hopefully that investment includes the Gripen fighter jets rather the F-35s.

Prime Minister Carney speaks with members of the Canadian Armed Forces in Trenton, Ontario.

Prime Minister Carney speaks with members of the Canadian Armed Forces in Trenton, Ontario.

We're rebuilding, rearming, and reinvesting in the Canadian Armed Forces.

From making sure they have the equipment they need, to giving service members the biggest pay raise in a generation β€” we’re reinforcing our capacity to protect our country, our allies, and our values.

It took U.S. years to lose a war in Vietnam. Trump lost one in days. | Will Bunch It's increasingly clear that Trump's war of choice in Iran has failed spectacularly. America learned nothing from past war failures.

U.S. leaders were told: "declare victory and go home" in Vietnam as early as 1966, but fought for 7 more years and thousands of pointless deaths

The Trump regime has lost an even more senseless war in Iran in just 2 weeks. The time for leaving is now

Six years into a massive tree-planting blitz, African communities are seeing real change.

Restoring nearly 950 hectares of land has brought back wildlife, improved rainfall and boosted local incomes.

This is #GenerationRestoration in action: https://ow.ly/Q1Pr50YsMbe

The motion picture sector continues to attract major productions that ensure good-paying film and TV industry jobs stay in BC. (1/4)

After seeing the petrol prices today on the motorway, there has never been a better time to get a plugin-hybrid or full EV, as you could literally save €100's a month on fuel. My EV is paid for by the savings on fuel compared to my old Audi. It was costing me €350 a month on Diesel.

Apple Announces 50th Anniversary Plans Apple today announced that it plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary, which is on April 1. In addition, Apple CEO Tim Cook shared a "50 Years of Thinking Different" letter. "While Apple is known for looking forward, this milestone offers a special moment to reflect on the journey that has brought the company here, to celebrate the people and communities who have thought different with us, and to honor the enduring values that continue to guide our work," said Apple, in a press release. In the coming weeks, Apple said it "will celebrate the company's 50th anniversary, recognizing the creativity, innovation, and impact that people around the world have made possible with Apple technology." The specific plans remain to be seen. "Thinking different has always been at the heart of Apple," said Cook. "It's what has driven us to create products that empower people to express themselves, to connect, and to create something wonderful. As we celebrate 50 years, we are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey and who continues to inspire what comes next."

The world has built its energy system around oil. Now imagine something different.

Sunlight travels 93 million miles at the speed of light to reach Earth β€” never passes through the Strait of Hormuz.

Energy from the sky doesn’t need an army to protect it. #Bettrification

If you need the real news watch CBC or BBC. They correct every Trump lie. Which is pretty much everything he says.

$11 billion spent on the Iran war in 10 days could have paid tuition for 2.6 million community college students, funded Amtrak for 4.5 years, or covered daily Medicaid costs for 4 million Americans every single day of the war.

Every dollar spent there is a dollar not spent here.
