Over on FB & the eX, PMC's team posted a riposte to the Great Lake name change agenda of the Southern cousin. They are either stooping to the trolling level of DJT, or they just gave the bully a monster wedgie. Either way, using the word 'hydronym' is very sly 😉 #canpoli

The roof is on fire🔥 This photo is the very essence of what totalitarian russia has become as a result of their own actions. They went out of their heads, pursuing maniacal ideas, and it blew their heads off.

Great story! It reminds me of the Hanson brothers from 1977's Slapshot. And the Quebecer (see the thread) is the gravy on the poutine 😎

In the 1970s, displaying Ukrainian symbols in the USSR was risky. But Ukrainians abroad kept their identity alive. The Winnipeg Cossacks proudly wore their Ukrainian heritage for all to see. 🧵 1/5 ⬇️

Rescuers in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district pulled a 12-year-old girl's body from a destroyed apartment building. She is the fifth victim of Russia's overnight attack on 14 May. The death toll has since risen to 8, with about 20 missing. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/05/14/r...

In my mind, it's really an unhealthy fixation on something that changes faster than farts in the wind, and has as much value. Please #CBC, tone down those sound bites. At least, see a therapist and GET HELP!!

Dear #CBC, Why the eff do I have to listen to your news reporting & quoting of DJT ad nauseam? AT some point are you going to enlightening us on his daily ablutions on that golden throne of his? Yet this AM you are silent on what has happened in 🇺🇦...

Dave
@dhealey.bsky.social

I am a a centre left voter who consistently votes fro the Greens, because, they can use all the help. And I like some of their policies. Yet I find myself supporting the right in their efforts to defund the #CBC, because at this point, I can't take any more of your incessant sound bites of DJT.

The Idea of Victory: 'DJT’s own self-deification has to be seen in similar terms: a president who could assert power in this world would not have to claim that his real authority comes from another one.' 3/3

And a zinger at the end: 'His fantasies of the total destruction of Iranian civilization are part of an apocalyptic panorama that is inconsistent with decent politics.' 'Apocalyptic panorama' lends weight to the maxim that the 'pen is mightier than the sword'.

On Statehood: 'There is no sign that the Trump administration regards the United States of America as a state. It treats the existence of the United States as a commercial opportunity for a select few people, American and otherwise.'

On Diplomacy: 'In practice, critical negotiations, with Iran and elsewhere, have been put in the hands of two people, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, with close personal relationships with the president and obvious economic stakes in the relevant conflicts.'

Courage in the face of IOC indifference... I think these are the two girls who medalled with CDN in the biathalon pursuit.

Euromaidan Press@euromaidanpress.bsky.social

Ukraine won 19 medals and finished seventh at the Paralympics. They weren't at the opening ceremony. They won't be at the closing either. Russia's team was allowed to compete – and Ukrainian athletes refuse to share the podium with a country that is killing their people.

euromaidanpress.comUkraine competed, won 17 medals – and will boycott the closing ceremony too, refusing to stand alongside Russia’s Paralympic teamThe boycott bookends the entire Games: absent from the opening, absent from the closing, present on the podium.

Politico published symbolic awards following the Munich Security Conference, naming EU foreign policy chief Kallas for Worst Poker Face.

Zelensky's right, by the way -- Putin is kinda 73 years old. He doesn't have another 5 or 10 years to stop the war, leave Ukraine alone in stable peace, rearm his military, repair his economy, and attack Ukraine again in better shape when another opportunity comes.

Ah, yes. The art of the deal from our whacked southern cousin... smrt like candy 🤦 In brief: US admin pushed up tariffs on CDN potash, then realizes they need another affordable supply. Buy BYN potash, disregard shortfall in supply... but looks good to a certain electorate 😎
