Panama did it without blowing them out of the water, and they weren't fishermen.
Last week, the US military missed an actual drug boat in the Pacific carrying 13.2 tons of narcotics, which Panama seized—one of the largest hauls to date. Instead of blowing it out of the water, 10 suspects were arrested, and valuable intelligence was gathered. What a concept.

Today, I remember Corporal Nathan Cirillo, of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, who was standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, victim of a shooting at Canada's Parliament Hill in Ottawa in 2014.

So much for Memorial Day USA. Not if You're African American who died in the War, apparently. Disgusting.

A Dutch war cemetery added displays showing black US soldiers. Then they were quietly removed
Relatives fear the move is part of ‘the same virus affecting the US’, as historians and politicians say it coincided with Trump’s DEI purge

Poilievre's leadership perfectly described.
D'Entremont describes Poilievre's leadership as a "frat party" that sounds like a cabal of mean girls focussed on unquestioned loyalty and scoring cheap points than moving from relentless negativity to solutions. #cdnpoli
d'ENTREMONT: "I think people saw that I wasn't being utilized within my party and they were reaching out... But I tell you what really made it, what sealed the deal is when I got yelled at when this became part of the news on Tuesday."

And he wonders why there was a blue tsunami two days ago. Or maybe it's punishing the American electorate, which of course will goad them into making sure he's not on the next ballot either.

Conservative Leader too negative (I'll say!)
D'Entremont said there are other Conservative MPs who "are in the same boat" and they may join him in crossing over to Liberals.

A tremendous World Series decided by the slimmest of margins. Not at all sure the better team won, but that’s baseball. The Blue Jays were fierce, and I’m a bit heartbroken for all the Jays fans in my feed and orbit — Toronto folks have been supportive and awesome to me going back over a decade.
