My 1st posting after graduating from PPCLI Battle School at CFB Wainwright in 1984 was the 3rd Battalion of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry at Work Point Barracks, Victoria, BC.
All members of 3PPCLI are my brothers.🫡
Heartbreaking. 💔

This is a baby killed in a baby stroller by russian monsters in broad daylight‼️
Russia struck the central park in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv region, with a jet-powered drone while it was packed with people and families. They killed at least 3, a baby and two women, and injured at least 14 more.

Hearing about the horrific tragedy at CFB Wainwright from Kharkiv is saddening & heartbreaking.
This is a difficult time for the PPCLI family.
I did my #PPCLI basic training at CFB Wainwright ‘83 & also RV ‘85.

The WSJ editorial board states outright: “…there needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for Mr. Trump’s budding alliance with the Kremlin against Ukraine, Europe and American interests.”

In Kharkiv, we’ve been getting ready for Winter 26/27 for months now.
We’ve already received numerous requests for assistance. We will get through this like we did all the previous winters, by working together.

Of the five parties to the Budapest Memorandum:
One is invading Ukraine.
Another is openly pushing Ukraine toward capitulation.
A third is supplying resources that help make it possible.
A fourth continues buying Russian resources, helping finance Moscow’s war machine while publicly claiming to stand with Ukraine.
That leaves the good old British.
Thirty-two years after Ukraine surrendered its nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances, this is where we stand.
I played/coached hockey for 5 decades. So don’t mind me when I say, “Holy Puck! The Dominator!”
Widely considered one of the greatest goaltenders in hockey history, he’s a Hall of Famer & has more integrity & spine than the entire @nhl C Suite.

Humanitarian Reset?
Too late, @UN.
Large international agencies are no longer the primary actors on the frontlines; they’re now logisticians & funders. The actual heavy lifting belongs entirely to independent, localized grassroots networks.

I confirm that tonight SpaceX introduced a speed restriction on Starlink terminals while in motion.
At present, the restriction applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 miles per hour.
Our Defense Forces received no prior warning about this limitation, which resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.
Obviously, this cannot be a coincidence and is connected to the current political situation.

Ovechkin—a supporter of Russia’s worst criminals, murderers, and terrorists,led by Putin—is currently able to travel to 🇨🇦 and even make public appearances on the ice there, thereby generating massive publicity for Russia’s imperialist war on 🇨🇦 soil.Yet 🇨🇦 MPs still fail to act!

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada.
Let me remind you of this.
The New York Times has posted an 8k word interview with PM Mark Carney.
In order to understand how intelligent, profound, and astute he is, they've decided to release it for free without the paywall.
Enjoy.
NEW: We just published the full transcript of our @nytimes hourlong interview with PM Carney, all 8,000+ words of it.
This is to enable our readers to get a sense of the range and depth of the conversation.

I think it's time for Russia to get a new President.
We were reading about trump’s ceasefire deal on energy infrastructure when we heard the strikes on the Kharkiv thermal plant.
Like ordering a beer and they bring you battery acid.
trump is fucking up on a scale that is unbeknownst to world history.

According to Cloudflare Data Explorer the amount of russian bot traffic has dropped to 49% after Ukraine struck a yandex data center. Could this disrupt the midterm elections in the US?
