LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

Another voice raising concerns over Alberta's plan to redraw the electoral map, with the Canadian Civil Liberties Association saying the UCP's plan "casts a doubt over the equity and fairness of Alberta’s electoral process."
A four-hour documentary from 1969 about life in Nazi-occupied France chronicles the way that many ordinary citizens simply lived their lives as if nothing had changed, @dgraham.bsky.social writes. "The Sorrow and the Pity" is more relevant than ever:
"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

This image is a political illustration from the German newspaper Die Zeit depicting a confrontation between a Pope and a US President.
The artwork is titled "Pope Leo XIV" and portrays a tension-filled scene between the two figures.
NASA astronaut Christina Koch sits in an U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of the San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) after returning from space on Apr. 10, 2026.
This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.
A photo that speaks volumes without a word.
“Bill 11… allows physicians to treat patients in the public health care system while also charging them fees, creating a two-tiered system for those who can pay and those who cannot.”
Over 50 organizations have written to Ottawa to urge enforcement of the Canada Health Act.
Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience
There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!
Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.
Pope Leo: "The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters.”
"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time.

Tonda MacCharles: Pierre Poilievre called you badly educated in economics
Mark Carney: Did he? Wow.
Hell yes, Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Liberals just secured a majority government in Canada, coming just a day after Dictator Orbán lost his tyrannical seat of power in Hungary.
Much more global pro-democracy wins please. America needs to be next. 💙👊
"Canadian visits to the US are down 35%...dealing a massive, sustained economic blow to the US economy that shows no sign of reversing in 2026"

And then he doubled down and said he thought it depicted him as a doctor!!! 🤣🤣
Following an extraordinary attack against Pope Leo XIV that featured President Trump insulting the Catholic leader as "weak on crime" and "terrible," Leo told reporters on Monday that he was not afraid.
“I have no fear of the Trump administration."
I doubt that Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?
Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

Terry Fox stands on a rocky shoreline beside a body of water, wearing a light blue athletic shirt with darker sleeves, short running shorts, white socks, and running shoes. His right leg is a prosthetic. Doug Alward stands next to him in a tan jacket and dark pants, hands in his pockets. A rope or cable runs along the edge of the shore in front of them. The water extends into the background with a distant shoreline and buildings visible across it.
On April 12, 1980, Terry Fox, accompanied by his friend Doug Alward, dipped his right leg into the Atlantic Ocean at St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
It began the Marathon of Hope and turned Fox into a Canadian hero and icon.
This is the story.

The Cardinal of Washington Robert McElroy has called on Catholics to go beyond just prayer in their struggle to protect democracy and end the war in Iran. It's almost as if the Catholic Church has been reborn since Leo took over as Pope. I've seldom seen it so willing to stand up for what's right đź•Š
Carney: "The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over."
*thunderous applause*
Pope Leo: “Enough with the idolatry of self and money! Enough with the display of power! Enough with war! True strength is manifested in serving life.”
Canadian Astronaut Jeremy Hansen has safely returned to Earth after orbiting the moon aboard Artemis II. Sic Itur Ad Astra 🇨🇦
UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America.
Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.
Elections Alberta is concerned that separatists may be funded by USA.
Alberta Government lawyer argues that there is no evidence of that, yet separatists refuse to file financial disclosure.
Why is Alberta Governement defending separatists in court?

I've taught European history for thirty years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we Americans have front-row seats.
