“Socialist,” “communist,” and “Marxist” are not interchangeable.

Norway beat Brazil in the FIFA world cup. This is the people celebrating in front of the king’s castle in Oslo. In their midst? The Crown Prince. And most people had no idea. Gotta love Norway ❤️

It’s going to be so so so funny if this of all things is what finally turns a critical mass against FIFA and Gianni instead of… all of the other corruption. Like don’t get me wrong this is nakedly corrupt and dumb as hell but like, also come on lol. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Usually the corruption is not as obvious.

I hope Mexico beats England today as revenge for Mexico week on the Great British Bake-off

If this is true, one would have to ask what is the point of the "World Cup Finals" if a politician can blatantly interfere with the game?

We're a very screwed up society - public subsidies for a sunsetting industry that benefits a few, but resistance against public subsidies for mass transit including high-speed rail that would benefit society at large.

Okay, so I've decided. America does not deserve a birthday this year. You know who deserves an extra birthday this year? Cats. So I hereby declare that every cat in your house is having a birthday today, and expect us all to spoil them accordingly. Happy birthday, cats everywhere.

Collective shudder across Canada as Wayne Gretzky is shown...

Eating #CanMNT, you can see the hockey roots in how the team plays - physical, no holds barred.

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

When asked about the cost taxpayers will be carrying for the proposed pipeline... Smith says she doesn't know how much taxpayers will be on the hook for or what the ownership stakes will look like. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Actual lovely moment between Modric and Ronaldo after the final whistle there. Well done Luka, one of the true greats #WorldCup

What a freaking mess with this end of the game. The ref should have ended it a few seconds earlier. Then the offside would never have happened #Portugal #Croatia

NEW: Here is what the agreement between the Government of Canada and BC says about a new coastal pipeline from Alberta.

I horrifies how much propaganda is effecting life in Alberta There are many Albertans who truly believe that - -We'd be better off paying for healthcare -Everything will be fine if we just give O&G anything they want -Treating immigrants & the LGBT+ community with compassion & civility is weak
