The US has no idea the world of hurt that it has ushered. It is truly soul-crushing to see some of the outcomes. My reaction is not based on partisan politics but rather a deep love and reverence for the US. Regrettably, American Exceptionalism is increasingly disappearing. I will continue fighting in the battle of ideas but I fear that this might be a fatal inflection point. May the America of the Founding Fathers eventually prevail.

🚨Nathalia Gadelha's first instructor and mentor has posted a statement.
I write these words unequivocally…
I was one of Nathalia’s first instructors and mentor.
She was without a doubt the most naturally gifted pilot I have ever taught, and I have been teaching for 40 years!!
That young lady was born to fly!
There was not a check ride that the examiner was not blown away!
When she did her Lear type rating, she had less than 1100 hours and she absolutely aced the PIC type rating and the examiner thought she had about 5000 hours!
I gave her numerous opportunities to fly different airplanes to include tailwheel and the Caravan.
When I gave her her Spin Endorsement for her CFI, we did so many spins that I started to become nauseous! Truth!!
I am saddened, because so many of the pilots in training today never wanted to become pilots and only want to become airline pilots!
As I did check rides, I saw this time and time again!
They had no passion for flying.
They only wanted to get to the airlines to make the big money…
Nathalia was PASSIONATE about flying!!!
She was a 💯% natural born pilot!!!
I pray that she continues to fly amongst the clouds in heaven.
May she rest in peace and God watch over her. ❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

As a former Marine and police officer, I’ve seen people freeze or fall apart under pressure. I listened to 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha on Learjet N722BD as it dove at over 20,000 feet per minute in an overspeed. She never stopped transmitting clear, critical information even though she had to know she was going to die. That young co-pilot stayed on the radio to the end. Most people twice her age wouldn’t have.

A great host, but I’m not sure everyone knows what an amazing person Ernie Johnson is. Ernie and his wife Cheryl adopted 4 children, including his son Michael who had an incurable disease, Duchenne Muscular dystrophy. They brought Michael home from Romania after being told nobody wanted him. The Johnsons gave Michael the best life, he sadly passed in 2021. Ernie has also fought cancer twice and championed many great causes. Truly the goat.

This is yet another example of how little Americans understand us.
Being blamed for swinging a U.S. midterm would instantly rocket to the top of the Best-Ever Canadian Achievements chart.
1. Fucked Trump.
2. Vimy Ridge.
3. Juno Beach.
4. Peacekeeping.
5. The railway.

If he keeps saying things like that, it will become impossible for Canadians to pay for their own drinks in any bar in the democratic world.

I'm a capitalist and believe that everything is worth what someone will pay for it. But I'm also enough of a realist to know that the average consumer can only be punched in the face by enshittified nonsense so many times before souring entirely.
@Sportsnet is fucking up.

Intellectual consistency is not a strong suit among some.
This is an odd reaction from the Florida Senator.
Wonder what he made of Trump’s comments 10 days ago about seeking Turkish help with Yemen.
“Erdoğan is a very good friend of mine.”
“I think Erdoğan will do whatever I ask of him.”
“I have great respect for him.”

Tim Powers: "When you're alleging illegal voting in America by Canadians and you have the example of 11 people over 12 years — that couldn't even change the outcome of the dog catcher election. It's pathetic."
And 3 word reply - Kim Jong Un?
Look in the mirror America.
Canada is lost. This is what the Left does. Socialism at home is never enough.
By embracing Communist China, and now Turkey, PM Carney has turned his back on America & made clear that Canada sides with dictators, terrorists & thugs who threaten the security of the U.S. & sovereignty of our allies.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Turkey is a NATO ally of both the United States and Canada since 1952. Official Canadian statements describe the new Strategic Partnership with Türkiye as deepening cooperation between the two NATO allies on trade, energy, defence and security.

No tariffs on death metal?
Billy Strings is a bluegrass superstar. He’s also a massive metal fan, so much so that when Canadian death metal legends Cryptopsy played his festival, he jumped onstage to shred with them.
He loved it so much he followed them to their club show the next night and did it again. Here he is at the Pyramid Scheme, ripping “Open Face Surgery.”

The CF-18s served us admirably but their time has come. Outstanding to see our forces modernizing with new equipment on land, sea and air. We can debate the right gear; we can’t debate the need.
The RCAF received its first two CF35As yesterday at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. The future of air and space power is built on more than equipment alone.
