Today is Make a Gift Day
Today emphasizes creating personal, handcrafted items rather than commercially produced ones. The tradition of giving handmade gifts dates back centuries, with ancient civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks & Romans exchanging gifts for social and religious reasons.

In a dangerous and divided world, Canada and Europe are elevating our defence partnership.
That means more access to new equipment for our Armed Forces, more investment in Canada, and massive opportunities for Canadian workers and businesses.

'They’re allowed to do what they want': Palestinians describe surge in settler attacks
'They’re allowed to do what they want': Palestinians describe surge in settler attacks
Israeli settlers’ attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank have reached a historic high. Victims, Israeli activists and human rights groups argue that, contrary to Israel’s claims that these acts are carried out by a few radical individuals, a state-supported system enables and protects those responsible.

It is clear that Russia does not want peace and therefore we need to make Ukraine as strong as possible in order to them to be ready to stand up for themselves in this very, very difficult time.
It could be a pivotal week for diplomacy.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
