This is the end from the Doors is playing in my mind. Perhaps this is referring to Twitter. If so, we will see you on the other side, wherever that is.

Norway and Alberta have about the same population. Both are major oil producers. Norway's Sovereign wealth fund just hit $1.4 trillion. Alberta's Heritage Fund just hit $18 billion. Is this what happens when you let conservatives manage money?
More bad news for PP, Canada's Conservative leader and other right wing nut cases. Canada ranks as the top country people want to move to. How is this possible in a left wing dictatorship? flip.it/1j9_Cj

This is a brilliant discussion on history as it pertains to the current situation in Ukraine. I am humbled by the insights of these two great thinkers. youtu.be/ylaC0MUleZs
I think this explains the rather limited number of take out haggis restaurants around.
A sentence you rarely hear: ”That’s really nice haggis”.
“It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.” @Ukraine is strong but even stronger with your help @NATO
