‘ What a tragedy.  Here are some of the lives lost at the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas today: These are the Lives that were taken today at Robb elementary school 💔😥🙏🏼🕊 #Texas #mass_shooting #RIP #stopgunviolence pic.twitter.com/G4yDwJEV1j — Dana A Yousif (@DAYkurd) May 25, 2022 REST IN PEACE: Fourth-grade teacher

I still find it hard to believe that a lot of people in Ontario are still intending to vote for Ford and the Conservative party, in spite of his awful performance as premier.  Then again, I also find it hard to believe that so many people in Saskatchewan can keep

Here’s a collection of recent items from Ukraine.  Now that Ukraine is winning this war, we are seeing some odd reactions – almost as though pundits can’t wrap their heads around the prospect of Russia losing its Evil Empire status quo.  Is the West really unable to credit the possibility

Rex Chapman titles many of his dog videos “Dogs, bruh” so I thought I would use it for this post: Good boy loves fireworks 💥 pic.twitter.com/XB0UJzIkBq — CCTV_IDIOTS (@cctv_idiots) May 15, 2022 short dog problems pic.twitter.com/Bk0DFSD3Mi — ᴘᴀᴠʟᴏᴠ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏʀɢɪ (@PAVGOD) May 17, 2022 DOG DAY AFTERNOON… pic.twitter.com/9InYacLw0x — Abyss

Busy day today so its not a long post tonight.  First of all, here’s a great news story: On May 18, 2022 Saskatoon Tribal Council had the pleasure of witnessing the unveiling of the Fred Sasakamoose statue at the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon.https://t.co/jzFWGma1qD pic.twitter.com/we8MFu3Rds — StoonTribalCouncil (@StoonTribalCncl) May 19, 2022

I have been struck by the number of outstanding photos I am seeing of the brave soldiers fighting for Ukraine. I have been collecting these now for more than a month, and tonight I thought I would post some of the best: Here are members of the Ukrainian Territorial Defense

  Sorry, I just can’t help myself.  It’s truly a Nelson moment today. Jason Kenny has resigned as Alberta premier and as party leader. The Alberta Premier’s truck nuts will lie in state in the foyer of the province’s legislative building for four days — Walking Eagle News (@TheEagleist) May

Almost two decades ago, the International Day Against Homphobia, Transphobia and Biphobia was set May 17 — it has become a celebration around the world of Two Spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community. The only thing I am sorry about, is that our society still needs such a

Just a batch of somewhat-random tweets tonight, sorted into some topic areas.    Ontario Election: I didn’t watch the debate but I saw a few funny tweets coming out of it: Michael De Adder: Debate notes https://t.co/6b4fWU0u0g via @torontostar — Deb Lindenas 😷 💉💉💉 (@deblindenas) May 17, 2022 “This is

it’s not the ocean you hear when you hold a seashell to your ear, or your own heartbeat drumming and echoing back at you. it’s the ones you’ve lost calling to let you know they made it to the other side and they’ll be waiting around the campfire until you

Just a short posting tonight, but it appears that the tide in Ukraine is turning: Long story short. Russia seems to be pulling out of the area to the north of Kharkiv entirely, and still cant make significant advances in the Donbas. https://t.co/DE1Fc1TeXL — Phillips P.

Here’s the cover photo of 2010 book about the SlutWalk Movement — just thought I should help out that Ottawa school trying to “measure” the shorts and skirts of its female students today. Maybe if they used this photo as their guide, then their female students would know exactly what

I can’t help it.  I am comparing the sympathetic media reaction today toward Singh, after a few jerks screamed curses at him as he was moving toward his vehicle after a campaign event, with the cynical media reaction last September toward Trudeau, when there was a whole crowd of screaming

I guess expecting Canadian Conservative voters to listen to an actual DEBATE is just too much to ask of the Youngs today, not to mention really B-O-R-I-N-G, man!  Brother Wells over on his Substack: “Well, that was a national disgrace.” #cpcldrdebatehttps://t.co/J32cMxc166 — David Akin 🇨🇦 (@davidakin) May 12, 2022 Paul

First, this:   Such good news and a great game. Our son says that four out of five times, the team that wins Game 5 also wins the series!  On to today’s news:  There seem to be more people all the time who think that if they don’t like society

Evan Scrimshaw sent out a newsletter tonight talking about Skippy and the Conservative so-called “debate” last week and its worth quoting from:   … It’s a busted ideology and a party infected by more than just bad opinions but stupidity at its core.  To save Canadian conservatism, you first have to

Yes, it was Mother’s Day. And lots of political tweets that relate: Are we still calling it Mother’s Day or is it now just Domestic Infant Supplier Day? — Keri Blakinger (@keribla) May 8, 2022 The slope, it is slippery. https://t.co/VLXjIVDtJN — Helen Kennedy 🌻 (@HelenKennedy) May 8, 2022 I’m

No particular theme today – so let’s get going!  Too late, Candice – that ship has sailed: WHAT?#CPC leader Candice Bergen is worried about this? “And lastly I promised caucus I would not do anything and we would not do anything that would make the general public think that we
