A 25,000-cow mega dairy farm approved just 2.5 km from the Red River could spell disaster for the endangered Lake Winnipeg 💔

Experts warn the waste, stored in a lagoon the size of 52 football fields, could be the nail in the coffin for the lake & those who depend on it.

This is everything that is wrong with society...people have become so desensitized to violence they feel entitled to threaten the family & loved ones of a young rising star in baseball ⚾🧢

Will American/Canadian law enforcement step in to hold those accountable?

It is simple....eat more #plantbased foods 🌱

What a wonderful win/win proposal

I think any State that wants to join Canada would be welcomed with open arms/well the sane ones at least

We could take Canada's #MapleMagas & ship them to one of your Southern States & keep the States #Magas out of Canada. 🇨🇦 #GoBlueJays

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s.

This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.
