I have a Masters degree in Leadership and like to cheer on the good guys. We need a court for crimes against the planet and a Professional College to regulate journalism.
I support a #BlueStateNation to end #USRussia.

An animal sanctuary in the Okanagan had avian flu detected in some of their birds. In contrast to Universal Ostrich they complied with the CFIA rules, culling some of their animals and quarantining the rest. Today they have learned their flock of peacocks will not have to be culled

The thing about the UCP convention crowd who booed Smith’s comments about 🇨🇦 working because of a pipeline is that these folks would vote against their own economic interests in order to keep their hate alive.
I doubt they can be ever be reached.
And I hope Smith finds out that they can’t.

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.
Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.
