I am an American who lives in Canada.
Canadian politics focus on the US because a supposed ally started an unprovoked trade war & threatened to invade Canada. Cost of living is increasing in both because of Trump’s tariffs, incompetence, & your destruction of our democracy.

I Remember #Apollo 13 commander James Lovell. By @epaultaylor via @globeandmail #Apollo13 theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

Grieving the loss of one of my best friends, Jim Lovell. His extraordinary legacy is cemented by many space missions: Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13.
Our mutual respect had no limits. The Gemini XII mission we flew together paved the way for the Apollo missions.
Heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family.
Farewell Jim. You will be missed, my friend. Godspeed!

Went to the Moon twice, flew in space 4 times, commanded Apollo 13 - Jim Lovell has died at 97. A superb, humble and inspiring man. Rest in peace.

I agree with David Brooks 💯%: “At least semi-responsible for the deaths of probably by the end of this, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people. That's Elon Musk’s legacy. The people who work at Tesla and SpaceX might want to think about that."

Mr. Poilievre isn't allowing reporters to travel with him, not allowing questions, trying to obtain questions beforehand and pushing away reporters. Why is he different than prior Conservative leaders and other party leaders. Evan Dyer is a respected journalist. @EvanDyerCBC

Canada is proactively preparing for a potential outbreak of Avian Influenza.
