My dad, 85 years old, suffering from the effects of a 2 year struggle with cancer, and chief of surgery at the Chinook Regional Hospital for decades, was moved from an already overcrowded space to an “overcapacity room” while he recovers from a stomach bleed and pneumonia. This is the room. 🧵🧵🧵

They bombed animals. I recall the first bombing of this ecopark when the war just began - they had no system to donate, so people bought all the tickets online, so they could get some funds to rebuild. And they did. They stayed with animals, shared videos of newborn “babies”. But russia had to kill

Ukraine has successfully struck another two Russian oil refineries as well as providing the drone video for successful strikes on oil depots and export terminals. Ukraine faked the death of the head of the Russian Legion so as to collect the $500,000 reward from the Russians.

Thankfully the US realized the obvious this time. Of course Ukraine didn’t attack Putin’s house with drones. Unlike Trump, leaders in Ukraine are smart.

What a way to end 2025! Stefania just turned 105 and is the most seasoned signatory of the #ForeverCanadian petition. She insisted that I come to her birthday party. Like me, she was 12 when she left Poland, also with mom and a 5 year old sibling. She too adores Canada.

Not tuned in much into U.S news, but I am pretty sure that a lot that has been happening recently in politics there is a coordinated effort to take down Walz by the Trump administration, because Walz is genuinely popular.

I’m not optimistic, but nevertheless I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2026. I also wish that russia finally gets booted out of Ukraine in, hopefully, the next couple of months at most.

In 2025, we worked to make Canada stronger — and had some fun along the way.

It’s time to provide Tomahawks to Ukraine

Happy New Year. May your wishes come true and your loved ones be safe. May Ukraine win and dictatorships around the world fall. May freedom, health, compassion, and help come to all those who need it.

I just found out that Sunny the banana and Breezy his blue jay sidekick exist in Melita, Manitoba. Apparently, this area of Manitoba is a couple degrees warmer on average and media was calling it The Banana Belt. So they erected this hilarious statue.

On Dec. 31, 1857, Queen Victoria made a decision that had a lasting impact on our history. She decided that Ottawa was to be the new capital of the Province of Canada. How did this small community, best-known as a lumber town, become the capital? This is the story. 🧵 1/12

Amazing fundraising! This is average people everywhere donating to help #Ukraine.

Update #6 4:06am 12/31/2025. The City is responding to a water main break east of the Sarcee Trail/16 Ave N.W. interchange. Boil water advisory for Parkdale, Montgomery and Point McKay. All Calgarians should conserve water. newsroom.calgary.ca/boil-water-a...

This water main break in Calgary again. 😩 50 years ago they put a pipe in that was supposed to last 100 years. Spoiler alert, it didn’t. We’re back to months of water restrictions and part of a major roadway needing significant repairs.

Happy birthday to Burton Cummings, born on this day in 1947 in Winnipeg! As a singer-songwriter, he rose to fame with The Guess Who before embarking on a successful solo career. He has the Order of Canada, six Junos and is a member of the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.

Happy New Year, Sydney! 🇦🇺

Canadians to pay three times more for admission to 11 US national parks 👀 Could they hobble themselves any harder? This is play acting, Canadians aren't coming at all. You can take pictures of each other, not us. www.thetravel.com/nps-new-id-r...

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

In Celtic and Druidic tradition, the wren was a bird of wisdom and divination. Its name in Gaelic (dreoilín) and Welsh (dryw) is often linked to the words for "druid" or "tree-knower," and its complex songs were once thought to be prophetic messages for priests. #MyBest2025 #OriginalArt #Folklore

Mark, your original post got 12k likes and only 800 comments, many which were supportive. People who want universal healthcare were unsupportive, but generally respectful. And likely there were a few nasty people who said terrible things. Healthcare is a sensitive topic as it’s life, death, debt.

My great claim to fame for 2025 is that I survived. Hopefully that continues in 2026.

Mike Lee once replied "is this real?" to a video on X of a waterslide featuring a several hundred meter gap. Like where the sliding person soars through the air for several hundred meters. The man belongs in a padded cell until we can figure out what's going on.

Interesting stats. No, we Canadians don’t want to be USians. Here’s part of why. Canada is definitely preferable even with our flaws. #Never51 #ElbowsUp

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator? This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.
