Louise Arbour is the next Governor General of Canada. She has extensive background as a prosecutor for international war crimes and as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. 👏 #Canada 🇨🇦

#Canada stands stronger with Europe & Europe stands stronger with Canada. We keep sharing & building on our common history & values. PM Carney is the first non-European leader to attend the 8th European Political Community in Armenia. See clips below: canadanownews.substack.com/p/todays-mus...

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇨🇦 #Ukraine #Canada #Europe

The relationship between Canada and Europe is rooted in a common history and shared values, and we’re building on that. In a more divided world, we’re choosing partnership — in trade, defence, and security — to build a more prosperous and secure future together.

This isn’t just about the #U.S. —it’s universal. When excessive wealth concentrates in the hands of a few, #democracy erodes. And when the powerful profit from #war, they have every incentive to keep it going.

GO HABS GO ! 🇨🇦🏒 Montreal Canadians won game 7 against Tampa Bay Lightning. If Toronto Maple Leafs can't, then Montreal HABS will. 😜 #Hockey #Canada

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy: "When somebody says Ukraine should withdraw from its territories, please try to withdraw from your own house"

Educate the ignorant! Make the rich pay their fair share — and vote on this like it matters! Once upon a time, the rich paid high taxes. Now the rich lend governments money, collect interest & get paid back by YOU, the taxpayers. Wake up people! It's YOU who foot the bill while the rich profit. #USA

Regarding canned beans, lentils, tomatoes & similar #foods, if you're trying to minimise your exposure to bisphenol chemical BPA, you should minimise your intake of canned goods. Even BPA‑free cans often contain other bisphenols, such as BPS or BPF, that raise #health concerns. Best butter #beans:

The new Kremlin Art-Deco.

Trump is weakening America to Russia’s benefit. After a 90-minute Trump–Putin call, he ordered 5,000 U.S. troops pulled from Germany—a key NATO hub where permanent basing is more effective than rotations from the U.S. #NATO

Most likely driven by some "friction" between Trump & German Chancellor Friedrich Merz regarding the ongoing war with Iran.

Solar fences in #Germany as property boundaries & power generators. #CleanEnergy

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Happy May 1st––International Workers Day.

Some diaper diplomacy. 🇺🇸🇬🇧 youtu.be/boVLEwZVbOY?... #USA #UK #KingCharles

Good news if you're into #hockey & a Montreal Canadian cheerleader. 🏒🇨🇦

You might think having a cat is difficult, but honestly it's pretty easy as long as you do exactly what they want 24/7.

The King's polished, polite delivery with a blade of honesty neatly tucked inside.👏👏👏 #speech #USA #Trump

Charles’s speech was a rhetorical warning to a president who behaves more like a monarch than a constitutional leader—and I doubt most Republicans caught what he was really driving at. #Trump #USA #KingCharles #Speech

A King making the case for peace, unity and democracy—something a U.S. President won’t and never will. #Trump #KingCharles #Monarchy #USA #democracy #NATO

Noticing more of these mini libraries where I live in Switzerland. We have one in our village, adjacent to the city of Geneva. #books #community

As President Stubb pointed out, the Russian nuclear weapons visible from Finland, Norway & Sweden are aimed at Washington. So, Trump’s “ballroom protection” is pure fantasy. #Trump #USA #Ukraine

Breathe in the green. Breathe out the gilded ballroom. #nature

This is true. Look at a globe, not a flat map—Russia is much closer to North America than people think. Those missiles aren’t aimed at Helsinki, Stockholm or Oslo; they’re aimed at the U.S. Does Trump understand NATO’s value yet? #Russia #NATO #US #EU #nukes

Sneaky #Russia: The Kremlin’s attempt to frame Russia as an "integral" part of Europe is a strategy to undermine regional security from within. This coincides with Hungary unblocking EU aid for Ukraine, suggesting Moscow is repositioning its narrative to navigate a shifting political landscape.

I hear you!

Mom’s got the double scoop. 🐶🐶♥️

The US feeling IRRITATED with Canadian neighbours? Gee, I wonder why? PM Mark Carney nailed it here. He is spot on and a reminder that trade wars cut both ways. #cndpoli #Canada #MarkCarney #Trade

Poilievre claims that a security clearance would not serve him well. But experts say refusing it leaves him uninformed about foreign interference—and that’s the real danger. In short, if you want to lead Canada, basic security clearance should be part of the job. #Canada #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

The U.S. system feels outdated and in need of serious reform—much like Canada, which is actively rebuilding and strengthening itself through big structural changes. Pete Buttigieg’s style & tone have always reminded me more of Canadian politicians.😊 #PeteButtigieg‪ #USA #Canada #Reform #Politics

Mr. Lutnick, Canada has standards—and your president doesn’t meet them. No one here or anywhere else is obliged to promote products from a country led by corruption.

The FBI director. The world has always been run by madmen, but I’ve never seen this much insanity coming at us from every direction in 60+ years. #USA #World #KashPatel #FBI #Politics #insanity

Putin's economic stall admission won't kill his Soviet revival "wet dream". Oligarchs will revolt once they see their empire's crumbling. Thoughts on Moscow's next play? #RussiaEconomy #UkraineWar

Hungary's new Prime Minister-elect, Péter Magyar, has stated his government would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he enters the country, honouring ICC obligations. #Hungary #ICC #Netanyahu #Arrest www.trtworld.com/article/fc79...

BBC finds “a consistent pattern of spikes in trades” minutes or hours before Trump’s biggest statements become public. Analysts see hallmarks of illegal insider trading. Is anyone surprised here? #Trump #Trade #Markets www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why do we feel safe & calm outside when we hear birds sing? For thousands of years, our ancestors learned that birds signalled safety, and this instinct remains etched in our nervous system. Here's an array of bird songs. #calm #nature #birds

War is the preferred recourse of the violently unwell and politically rotten. A crime against life. #peace🕊️
