You should let your retailers know these @FIFAWorldCup products are dangerous and should be removed from shelves immediately. Return them for a full refund while you still can before they cause you physical harm.

Oh look! Look at all these beautifully designed officially licensed @fifaworldcup water bottles available anywhere from their website to fine retailers like @walmart that you are NOT allowed to bring into the stadium because they pose "safety and security risks".

Waited for 2 weeks for this non-response from @flairairlines. Condescending and insulting effort from customer service. None of the details is correct. And where can I book a flight to YXX? You've been warned: DO NOT BOOK @flairairlines 🚫

🔵 CHARGES LAID 🔵 A man & a woman have been charged after multiple break & enters were reported at the same residence in the northeast community of Marlborough Park. 📍 In early February, multiple break & enters occurred at a detached garage located in the 0 to 100 block of Malvern Crescent N.E. In each incident, suspects forced entry into the garage where they stole property including personal sports equipment & multiple Lego sets worth a total of $18,000. On Friday, Feb. 14, 2025, at approx. 9:20 a.m., the victim contacted police to report another break & enter to the same residence that was in progress. Patrol officers immediately responded to the scene & took 2 individuals into custody without incident. A man & woman were charged with the break & enter & were released from custody. In total, 5 break & enters were reported at the residence. Since the arrests, investigators have worked to review evidence from the scene, including CCTV footage. At this time, at least 3 of the break & enters are believed to have been connected & additional warrants have been issued for the earlier break & enters. 🔴 WANTED 🔴 — Jan Joshua ORFINADA, 31, of Calgary, has been charged with 1 count of break & enter. ORFINADA is also wanted on 2 counts of break & enter & 1 count of failing to comply with a release order. 📌 Tina Marija MUSA, 51, of Calgary, has been charged with 1 count each of break & enter, possession of break-in instruments & failing to comply with a release order. MUSA will next appear in court on Friday, March 14, 2025. 🔎 The investigation remains ongoing & we are asking anyone with information about these break & enters to come forward. Additionally, investigators are still working to recover the stolen property, including the Lego sets & ask anyone with information about the whereabouts of the stolen property to also contact police. Information? ☎️ CPS: 403-266-1234 🛑 @StopCrimeYYC ⚖ Case #: CA25046055 | CA25049612 | CA2506243 | 5172 🌐 newsroom.calgary.ca/charges-…

Can someone please remind @GGCanada that the official birthday of the King of Canada is celebrated on Victoria Day, when GG's account was silent on the occasion. #youhaveonejob

Zero message so far from @GGCanada's office on this #VictoriaDayWeekend -- the King's first official birthday in Canada. Lost opportunity to affirm Canada's relationship with the Crown. #youhaveonejob. 👑🇨🇦

Today, the Canadian Government unveiled a new heraldic Canadian Crown replacing the traditional St. Edward’s Crown used on Canada’s coat of arms, police & military badges. The design replaces religious symbols (crosses & fleur-de-lis) with maple leaves & a snowflake. #cdnpoli

Today’s Canada Post released a new stamp bearing the image of Canada’s new king, King Charles III. His Majesty’s stamp becomes Canada’s “definitive stamp” (regular domestic stamp) on offer at every Canadian post office across the country. ✉️🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #cdncrown #stamp
