We have treated Canada with absolute disrespect, starting a trade war with our closest neighbor and taunting them about becoming another state. And the moment we hit a crisis, they still offered to help. We need to start treating our allies like allies again.
Canada has offered its full assistance to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as it manages the situation, including accommodation of US-bound aircraft as required. We remain ready to provide support to our American colleagues as the situation evolves.

Replying to @Acyn
“What network are you from?” has become this administration’s version of “I know you are, but what am I?” Nothing screams confidence like dodging a legitimate question with a playground comeback.

DUFFY: How many times does this have to happen before congress gives the money to fix it? R: You’ve been in office almost two years now, Republicans controlled both chambers of congress and still do. DUFFY: What your network are you from?

Thank you, Canada. Neighbors help neighbors. That's what friendship and leadership look like. Washington may have temporarily forgotten this, but the American people never will. We are grateful.

Q: Why do you think the Russians don't want you as a negotiator? EU's Kaja Kallas: They don't want anybody strong on the other side because they want to push through their maximum demands. (no wonder Moscow loves dealing with the son-in-law and some real estate guy...)

Don’t worry, America, while you’re stuck at the airport this Friday night, Marco Rubio is defending North Korea.
Rubio: North Korea is a governed by a guy who is not interested in conquering in Japan. He just wants to survive. I’m not excusing the things that he’s done. I’m just saying. He's not looking to invade Japan or China or whatever

Rosyjscy sportowcy nie będą mogli uczestniczyć w imprezach we Francji, dopóki nie zakończy się wojna na Ukrainie. Francuski rząd ogłosił, że nie będą mieli możliwości uzyskania wiz.

TRUTH ABOUT THE PROPOSED STELANTIS ROCHEL DEAL!! PART 1👇👇 (1) Our govt repeatedly said no. Over months of meetings, our govt consistently rejected Roshel’s lobbying to buy the Stellantis plant while trying to negotiate its own agreement with Stellantis. This explains the claim of many meetings took place. That part is true. (2) Despite constantly being told no, these two companies went behind our govts back. Stelantis & Roshel ignored the rejections, bypassed proper channels, & secretly announced a deal without out govt’s knowledge or approval. YOU CANNOT BLOCK AN ANNOUNCEMENT YOU DIDN’T KNOW WAS HAPPENING. (3) The deal is not final. Right now, this is only a proposal. The sale has not gone through. Our govt still has time to block it. (4) Who is responsible? PM Carney & Minister Joly are not at fault. Minister François-Philippe Champagne originally drew up the contracts for Stellantis, Stelco, and the $15 billion EV plant. He failed to put safety provisions in place to prevent something like this happening. And didn’t work to change federal/provincial legislation to ensure that Ottawa has immediately levers we can press - instead of a long drawn out legal process that we are currently stuck navigating.
 (5) The Conservative opposition, Roshel & certain commentators are deliberately twisting the timeline to blame our current govt, rather than holding Stellantis & Roshel accountable for acting in secret.

There is no WJC without Canada or Canadian fans but the tournament hasn’t suffered without Russia. We could simply abandon the IIHF and invite every other country to take part under a new banner. But there is a simple solution to all of this, Russia withdraws from Ukraine.
Russian hockey federation president Vladislav Tretiak says Russia will seek compensation from Canada if its players are barred from next month’s World Juniors in Alberta. Tretiak is also calling on the IIHF to move or cancel the tournament, or impose sanctions on Canada, over the decision. Full story: cbc.ca/sports/hockey/world-j…

Zelensky just said the quiet part out loud: “Maduro is on trial in New York… but Putin isn’t?” The world is watching who gets dragged into court… and who gets treated like untouchable royalty.

Ukraine’s fight is our fight, too. If Putin succeeds, America and our allies will be less safe. That’s why I’ve stood with Ukraine from the beginning and why I’ll keep fighting to make sure Ukrainians have what they need to defend their country and their freedom.

This reads like a dystopian nightmare. The barbarism of the Russian government knows few bounds. Forcing abducted Ukrainian children, who have since reached military age, to fight against their own country is savagery that goes beyond the pale. And yet Witkoff and Kushner are in Moscow, negotiating with the same brutal government over Ukraine's future and Europe's security architecture, while smiling for the cameras and accepting gifts. Trump's role in this should not be forgotten. By appeasing Putin and encouraging him to believe that he will ultimately prevail, Trump weakens Russia's incentives to end the conflict sooner, allowing Putin to continue his butchery.
President Zelensky says that Russia has taken thousands of Ukrainian children from their land & now they’re seeing the children they stole who grew up during this War being used in the Russian Army to fight as Russian Soldiers against their own Ukrainian people.
