Good, this is how we'll identify the Trump-Toadie inner circle members when the trials start. The shoes and how they fit.

You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.

Good interview with Canadian PM Mark Carney: β€œyou find countries that share your values on specific issues, even if they don’t agree on everything. Then you build together. At the same time, you must recognise that you can’t be truly sovereign or independent just by yourself.

β€œMa’am, my partner and I have done a thorough inspection of your property, and I’m afraid you’re going to need a new flowerbed, several bushes, and you will most likely need to reseed the lawn. If you want, we can work up an estimate and get back to you.”

Photo of a yellow-green crustose lichen growing flat on reddish rock. The lichen is sort of rectangular and is made up of numerous tiny β€œislands” of yellow-green with black lines separating the islands. In the top left you can see a tiny bit of similar looking, but grey, lichen.

Rhizocarpon sp #lichen in the process of β€œtaking over” another species of crustose lichen. This Rhizocarpon is the yellow-green colour. The species it is taking over is grey…see top, left of pic. A lichenologist recently explained that several species of Rhizocarpon do this.

Conservatives were fine with floor crossings until recently. Poilievre voted NO for C-306, which would have required anyone crossing the floor to be subject to a byelection.

Cons need to be reminded of this. They were always OK with floor crossings, but only if going in their direction. #CdnPoli

I think you are correct.
It's usually an event that draws support from all over the globe. But so much to deter people now - US economy boycott, ICE and Border Patrol out of control, and now potential terror campaigns.
It's a shame, It's always been an event that brings peoples together 😞

Getting a passport should be simple, reliable, and stress-free.

That’s why Canada is improving passport services with a new 30-business-day guarantee β€” or it’s free.
