This morning, the Poppy Flag was raised at #RCMPNL Headquarters by C/Supt. Robinson, S/M Baldwin and Commissionaire Mercer, to honour those who died in the service of their country, including RCMP Members, in all wars. It will fly until sunset on November 11, Remembrance Day.
ALT A white flag with a red poppy in the centre is shown, with a RCMP police officer in red serge uniform standing on each side holding the flag on a cloudy rainy day.
ALT Three flags, the Newfoundland and Labrador flag, Canadian flag, and the Poppy Flag are flying from their flag poles. Two police officers in red serge uniform stand to the right, looking up at the flags. A man stands to the left of the flagpoles, holding rope that secures the flags.

In honor of John Amos passing here is arguably one of his best scenes from ‘The West Wing’.
This scene not only shows the amazing acting of Amos but it also illustrates how to be an ally and a voice for those who may not be present to defend themselves
Rest in Peace, John 🕊️

Wow. Even the most hardcore of MAGA in that audience are dead silent during this. They know his brain is cooked.

Bill Clinton in 2016: “I killed myself to give the Palestinians a state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all of Gaza... between 96%-97% of the West Bank, compensating land in Israel, you name it."
“Hamas is really smart. When they decide to rocket Israel, they insinuate themselves in the hospitals, in the schools, in the highly populous areas, and they are smart. They said they try to put the Israelis in a position of either not defending themselves or killing innocents. They’re good at it. They’re smart. They’ve been doing this a long time.”
