Happy to share my latest article with you all:
"Failure to Launch: Canadian Federal Government Attempts at Memorialising the Second World War, 1945-1967" scholars.wlu.ca/cmh/vol31/is…
I look at why there's no national Second World War memorial in Canada.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Can you help us identify these 2 mystery war memorials? We believe they are in the same church/building and have a clue that ‘Kingsthorpe’ is written on the back of the original photos. Please let us know here or on [email protected]

#HamOnt Congratulations to Christ’s Church Cathedral on your 150th Anniversary.
It was an absolute privilege to be with you yesterday, alongside The Honourable Edith Dumont, to share the @cityofhamilton’s recognition with Bishop Susan Bell and Dean Tim Dobbin as you marked this remarkable milestone.
For 150 years, Christ’s Church Cathedral has been a spiritual anchor in downtown Hamilton, a place where faith meets service, leadership is grounded in compassion, and the doors have always remained open to the wider community.
More than its history, the Cathedral’s enduring presence continues to bring people together in moments of joy, uncertainty, and change, reinforcing the values of dignity, inclusion, and responsibility that strengthen our city.
Congratulations on this extraordinary Anniversary, and thank you for 150 years of care, compassion, and service to Hamiltonians.

Between this, Epstein, and her attempted extortion of MN voter files, Bondi should be up for impeachment too.

That there are four #ICE offices in Canada - in Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal, & Vancouver - is not only morally reprehensible but a public security issue.
They are not law enforcement; they're the paramilitary branch of a fascist leader.
Their operations in Canada must be ended.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
ICE (Immigration and customs enforcement) doesn't have stand alone "offices" in Canada, they work in US embassies (and consulates) as part of their official duties.

The first 4 Canadian soldiers who died in Afghanistan were killed by an American F-16 dropping a bomb on them, believing they were Taliban.
Canadians were on the front lines.
Trump knows "behind the lines", as a 5 times draft dodger.
president trump on nato allies: “we’ve never needed them. we have never really asked anything of them. you know, they'll say they sent some troops to afghanistan or this or that. and they did. they stayed a little back, a little off the front lines.”
america’s closest european allies believe trump treats them with contempt and will not appreciate any sacrifice on their part for the united states.
trump’s climb down on greenland in no way changes that view.

Without a doubt, the time has now come for Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom to rise and stand together on the global stage.
Our shared values, history, and unbreakable spirit demand a true CANZUK alliance - now more than ever. The world has changed considerably in recent times, and our nations continually face hostile rhetoric and actions from the United States, China, Russia and Iran. While sovereign and independent, we cannot continue to act in isolation if we are to protect the values and freedoms our nations were founded on.
Together, we are an unstoppable force: innovative, resilient, and ready to shape a brighter future for the world. If we don't seize this moment now, we risk losing our chance to show our collective strength.
It's now or never for CANZUK to be a vision of hope, prosperity and opportunity for our citizens and the world. 🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿🇬🇧

John Miller: If you're confronted by a moving vehicle that could be a threat to you, get out of the way. I'm reading to you from DHS policy; 'DHS law enforcement officers are prohibited from discharging firearms at the operator of a moving vehicle or other conveyance.'

Tim gave SO freely and frequently of himself so we would all better understand the sacrifices Canadians make in war. And we all relied on and enjoyed his insight. What an understatement to say this is terrible. We are all sending love to his family.

The Canadian War Museum is deeply saddened by the passing of our Chief Historian and Director of Research, Dr. Tim Cook.
We invite you to read our full statement and share condolences with his family, colleagues, and friends.

Very sorry to hear of Tim Cook's death. He was the chief historian of the War Museum, and one of Canada's most prolific authors on military history. His contributions to the field were enormous, and we are diminished by his no longer being with us.

At a G7 Summit on May 7, 1977, as dignitaries were walking away, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau did a pirouette.
It became one of the most famous Canadian photos of the 1970s.
Some celebrated him for it, others criticized his actions.
But it wasn't the Queen in the photo.
🧵1/6
ALT The black-and-white photo shows Pierre Trudeau dancing in a formal setting, likely a ballroom, with ornate decor including columns, a large painting, and elegant furniture. He’s in a tuxedo while others in formal attire are present in the background. The atmosphere suggests a high-profile event or state function.
