PLEASE SHARE MY VIDEO❤️I am thrilled and honoured to share this simple song with you today. A song, that I trust, invokes within you, the love, passion and respect, for all who have contributed to the tapestry of this great nation. From the ancient beginnings of our magnificent Indigenous Peoples, to the times of those who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting against the horrors of despotism and tyranny, Canada has, and always shall be…Strong & Free. When respected and honoured, Canada is a friend, an ally, and a beacon of hope for the millions she holds in her embrace today and for the millions yet to come. Canada is NOT a coin to be placed into a slot machine, nor a card to be turned over on a gambling table. Canada is NOT something to be politicized, bartered for, nor sold. I trust you will enjoy and embrace this simple song. A song and a tale that chooses no sides in the elitist, political arena. It comes to you as a celebration of Canada’s beauty and as a call to action, encouraging you to cherish and protect the freedoms we enjoy today. With Glass Tiger, I have travelled the world carrying Canada’s message of friendship, including, to almost every “nook and cranny” within the great nation we call the USA. While travelling and performing there I have shared wonderful times with great people, who, like most of us, want only to live in peace and harmony with the rest of the world. I have also broken bread and shared fellowship in war zones with the brave men and women of our militaries, allied together to defend the freedoms that so many take for granted. My friends, whether you be Canadian, American, or from wherever you call home, this is “Canada’s Song,” and I am asking a favour of you today. PLEASE SHARE don’t just hit the like button. SHARE the video with your loved ones, your friends, your neighbours, your cat and dog if ya have one. SHARE IT TO THE WORLD! Let’s rescue our freedom from the clutches of those who would have us bow to their self-serving whims. Thank you in peace and harmony, Alan ❤️

BREAKING: Stunning new data shows that a vast majority of Americans are against Donald Trump’s tariffs and that more Americans are searching tariffs than Taylor Swift on Google. This is terrible news for Donald Trump’s agenda.

Music-as-lifeline is an idea that's been explored a million times in a million ways, but on 'Quaranta', @xdannyxbrownx brings a depth of introspection — and a healthy dose of friction — to the well-worn idea (@WarpRecords). Our 9/10 review: exclaim.ca/music/article/dan…

Real life Super Heroes. @Marvel your next film?
As an energy crisis looms, young activists in Paris are using superhero-like Parkour moves to switch off wasteful lights that stores leave on all night. nyti.ms/3yZnrRB

If this isn’t worth retweeting, then I don’t know what is.
Italian cyclist Michael Guerra uses his knowledge of physics and aerodynamics to adopt a “plank” position and overtake his competitors.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is a staged marketing stunt from 2017, arranged by the Italian fixed-gear bike shop Dafne Fixed. The technique is real (and impressive) but this is not an actual bike race as the tweet might be construed to imply. Original video: youtube.com/watch?v=3Iz7ZM… 2017 article: bicycling.com/news/a20030642…
