We hosted Women's World Cup 2015 and 3 Olympics in my lifetime.

ALL the soccer pitches have large enough capacity for pool play.

Most Canadians are willing to support policies that help other Canadians.

It's a big part of what makes Canada Great 🍁

Good news. Carney may not be able to save auto from the capricious felon, but there’s still a lot of good things going on in Canada.

Meanwhile in Canada 🇨🇦

The Canadian Govt is helping Manitoba connect its 100% Carbon-Free power grid to central Arctic Communities in Nunavut that depend on shipments of diesel for electricity generation.

Gotta love the passion of those that will vociferously defend their right to oppose change bc it might take effort vs help unite others to change the status quo.

Once the MAGAs control 37 State Legislatures, they WILL be able to amend the US Constitution to #BanAbortion or worse.

Americans don't know where anything is in their country, tons of videos online with receipts... so there is that... let alone where Mexico or Canada is...

For those with poor geographic knowledge, Florida dangles in the Atlantic Ocean.

Florida does NOT border #Mexico, #Canada, and is a continent and the Pacific Ocean away from #China

THIS IS HOW DRUGS ENTER THE USA 🇺🇸

Record drug haul seized by US Coast Guard was enough to ‘fatally overdose the entire population’ of Florida, official says | CNN

A US Coast Guard cutter on Monday unloaded a record haul of illegal drugs in Florida that, if it had made it to the streets, could yield 23 million deadly doses of cocaine, the service said.

That's up to American voters to make happen.

If Americans truly want to make REAL changes, they have the ability to use Article V powers to change the Constitution.

The ppl desperately clinging to power will say it's impossible, but a united movement with a clear goal would succeed.

#FIFA should "yank" ALL World Cup games from the USA 🇺🇸 and move them to Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽.
These two countries appreciate the honour of hosting games and welcoming friends, families, and fans.

Trump’s threats to ban visas to fans and teams is too great a risk for an event of this caliber.

Netanyahu betrays the entire peace process again.

It's time to admit that the greatest barrier to Middle East peace is Donald Trump's unwillingness to hold Israel accountable for their actions.

So the “Peace Plan”? Israel has HALVED the aid Gaza allowed says Hamas has violated the CEASE FIRE-Neither Hamas nor Israel were signatories of the “20 Point Peace Plan”-The whole Knesset fiasco was choreographed-and Oval is back and escalating-Epstein files MUST be released UN-REDACTED IMMEDIATELY!

#Alaska seriously needs to consider joining the #PacificaMovement ( CA, OR, WA, HI ) and stop being taken for granted.

The ppl of Alaska deserve respect not to be just a source of resources.

Where's #Murkowski ?

Why isn’t this everywhere right now? 😡
Massive flooding in western Alaska. Search & rescue in process. Power outages. Communication down.
So tell me again — why are we not seeing this on the news?

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Take it one step further and stop reporting anything about the #TrumpRegime beyond the verified facts.

Treat ALL Trump officials & spokespeople aa sources with little to no credibility.
