Earlier this week, I published a thread that was the first of two parts examining how #Ukraine and Russia might think about – and plan – the inevitable offensives to come in 2023. The #Gerasimov appointment pushed this second part back a couple of days! 1/25 🧵

Its nearly 11 months since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began. While we are currently in a lower tempo period, both sides are planning offensives for 2023. Today I begin a two-part exploration of the considerations for planning & conducting large-scale campaigns in 2023. 1/24 🧵
@CBCStephenQuinn @DianneWatts4BC: no one would need to sell their home due to a change in the BC Homeowners grant rate. There is an excellent program that allows a senior homeowner to borrow their entire property tax bill at very favourable interest rates.

Pretty hard to get behind an #NHL star who supports Putin & the misery he has wrought on Ukrainians & Russians alike.
Every Ovechkin goal these days is a tribute to imperialism, war crimes, & cleptocracy.
I can't separate the art from the artist here.

“I have never hidden my attitude towards our president, always supporting him,” says Ovechkin, three years after Russia annexed Crimea. “I am confident that there are many of us, supporting Vladimir Putin. So let's unite and show everyone a united and strong Russia!”

I see Alexander Ovechkin is trending on here. Just went to check if his Instagram profile is still a chummy of photo of him and Putin. It is.

Transparency is always the best policy. There is no need to hide anything going wrong in health care. I’m going to have more respect for a leader who is upfront about failings. I’d likely rally around them and support them. Just be authentic. It would be so refreshing.

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility.
Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it.

To be critical of our government is democratic. We are allowed to be mad or upset. We are allowed to want better and to hold accountability to whomever is in office. We can even not like them. I won't swear and just be angry I won't attack personally.

🙌 THE 4 DAY WORK WEEK HAS HIT IRELAND WITH ASTONISHING RESULTS. 🙌
The Irish Findings are as follows:
• 100% of the companies involved are continuing with the 4-Day work week ➡
• 85% of companies which reported data on revenue reported growth in revenue 📈 (1/X)
Good litmus test for sure.
I'd add: what if Justin Trudeau gave himself and his cabinet authority to rewrite provincial laws without parliament?
