⚡️Ukraine downs Russian Mi-8 helicopter with deep strike drone for first time, military claims. "We are changing the rules of the game: now we are hunting," Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said on Nov. 22. The Mi-8 was reportedly downed over Russia's Rostov Oblast.

But we need to find him a permanent home, preferably with experienced rescue-dog people in a quiet neighbourhood, who will give him the love and cuddles he needs. Please share widely with everyone you know, or contact the good people at Speaking of Dogs: www.speakingofdogs.com/available-do... /2

We don't even have to complete shut off the taps to start with. Just throttle back supply, and watch prices rise. We can hurt them AND keep our own economy turning over, and leave something in the tank (ha) to demonstrate measured resolve.

If Trump keeps up this 51st state shit, I think Canada should ask its other NATO allies to station *their* troops along our border.

I think something broke in Canadians this weekend. Everyone has had enough - but will it be enough for us to finally get our act together on defence, foreign affairs, and finally nixing internal trade barriers?

In a TV panel on Tuesday, and I joked that Canada's promised "24/7 eyes on the border" should be some hockey sticks with googly eyes jammed in a snowbank. Aaron and his mom KJ, in Winnipeg, liked the idea, so they made us some truly amazing border sentries. I hope Mr. Trump feels more secure now.
