Did you know the first thanksgiving celebrated by Europeans in North America happened in Canada?
Or that Thanksgiving and Armistice Day were on the same day for years?
Or that it was once celebrated in May and June?
This is the story.

Europe is not just about geography, it's also about the values and principles we share.
That’s why we are glad to welcome Canada at the European Political Community meeting today to discuss common issues.
We will be talking about connectivity, but also resilience to the threats we are all facing.
Big day on the Hill today as Finance Canada gears up to table the Spring Economic Update at 4 PM.
We kicked things bright and early at 7 AM and it’s been full speed ever since.
Tune into CPAC at 4 PM for all the details.
For all the studious, self-serious, resource-sucking attention on every utterance from the president, I'm surprised this one very unique, very consistent tic of his hasn't had more attention:

Canada is a nation of builders — and we’re building again. Prime Minister Carney has launched the Canada Strong Fund, backed by a $25 billion federal investment to partner with the private sector and advance nation-building projects in energy, critical minerals, agriculture, and infrastructure.
Hakeem Jeffries responds to Karoline Leavitt:
She wants to lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us.
AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.
I was redistricted twice and I hated it. But the same Republicans who cheered Texas gerrymandering are now screaming about Virginia. Catch my latest Substack on this. Read, watch and subscribe if you haven’t already!

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.
She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.
Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.
BREAKING: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office as part of the Epstein files investigation, per the BBC.
The probe centers on allegations he shared confidential material with Jeffrey Epstein while serving as trade envoy.
BREAKING: Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol has been convicted of insurrection for declaring martial law in December 2024, and has been sentenced to life in prison.
The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.
Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.
Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
CNN: You said Trump supports that Gabbard was in Fulton County, but last night he said he didn't know why she was there. Can you clarify?
LEAVITT: Election security is essential to national security. We need to ensure our elections are free and fair.
(Note that this is not an answer!)
Call me woke and annoying, but I TRULY do not see how you could support the Dodgers as a fan after this.
And yes, I'd say this about the Blue Jays if they'd won and made the same choice. I don't give a fuck about team loyalty. Talk to the Epstein files about it.

We’re building a strong Canadian auto sector where our workers build the cars of the future — and we’re launching a new program to make EVs more affordable for Canadians.
Because in a strong economy, we can buy what we build.
"Nate Erskine-Smith has been a smart operator and a good politician. This week, he got lucky. If he wants to win a seat at Queen’s Park and eventually lead the Liberals, he’s going to need to be more of both." — @jm-mcgrath.bsky.social
🔥 NEW VIDEO: JD Vance is asked whether he would apologize to the family of Alex Pretti, and he deflects and refuses. It’s a revealing moment that shows a total lack of empathy and a politician more focused on positioning than accountability.
Watch the breakdown here👇
Congress, it's time to start an independent commission to investigate and make sense of the Epstein Files.
The American public demands answers for everyone named in the files and accountability for the victims. It's time.
How deep does this go? Why won't the DOJ do their job? Investigate them.
