Oh the irony? John Brassard went to Algonquin College where he studied "broadcasting". That's it folks. A 6 months community college program in "broadcasting". This is the twit that is criticising a woman with a Doctorate and Five degrees from Universities in UK, USA and Canada.
WATCH: The @PierrePoilievre Conservatives laugh at Prime Minister @MarkJCarney’s wife, Diana Fox Carney’s credentials as a climate policy expert.

Acaba de pasar en la ONU, Bruno se levantó, caminó hasta el representante de Estados Unidos, se le paró delante y le dijo en la cara que mentía sobre Cuba. Así, de frente, sin papelitos ni rodeos ❤️ El representante de Estados Unidos se tuvo que callar la boca ante la intervención de Bruno
Y no fue en La Habana, fue en Nueva York, en la casa del imperio más poderoso del planeta, delante de todo el mundo.
Vivo orgullosa de la valentía de los diplomáticos cubanos. Toda mi solidaridad con Bruno y con los que, como él, no bajan la cabeza.

Flavio Bolsonaro was ordered to turn over his passport and remain in the country to face corruption charges.
He just snuck out of Brazil via Argentina and is headed to the U.S.
He’s now a wanted fugitive. I’m going to bet ICE won’t be waiting for him when his private plan lands and he’ll be feted at Mar A Lago when he arrives.

Justin J Pearson’s republican opponent sent unsolicited dick pics to multiple recipients when he was as old as 53. He admits to it, but calls his behavior “youthful indiscretion” and a “distraction.” nashvillescene.com/news/pith…

Zelenskyy is now officially accusing the U.S. under Trump of helping Russia in the war against Ukraine—This betrayal will never be forgotten.
I stand with Ukraine.

A top GOP official accidentally said on a hot mic, "If Netanyahu loses reelection in Isreal, and Democrats in the US win subpoena power in both Chambers of Congress, all I can say is Jared Kushner is completely, totally, utterly, and historically, spectacularly fucked."

🚨#BREAKING: A family in Georgia is outraged after they paid to have their 4-year-old pug named Cha Cha euthanized...
...and then MONTHS LATER later saw a photo on Facebook of their dog ALIVE AND WELL with a vet from the animal hospital
The story is wild.
According to the family, Cha Cha the dog got very sick, the vets told them it was organ failure and diabetic ketoacidosis... so the family decided euthanisia was the best course of action.
The family said goodbye in March, paid the bill, and went home grieving.
But according to the family, someone at that hospital was very attached to Cha Cha, because a worker took her home instead.
Months later, Rebecca (the owner of Cha Cha) was scrolling Facebook and saw a photo.
Her words: “I knew scrolling like that’s my dog.”
Even more wild...the vet's husband confirmed it, his wife not only had Cha Cha, but he says the pug was in GOOD HEALTH.
The dog they were told was dying was actually ALIVE and DOING WELL.
But it gets worse.
When the family went to the hospital, managers DENIED IT, Rebecca says they got a LAWYER and won’t talk about it.
Then, the family believes, the hospital put Cha Cha down to hide what happened.
Rebecca’s words:
“The fact that they put a healthy dog down. That’s just sick.”
And this is NOT the first time.
Earlier this year, another family said their cat Annie was supposed to be euthanized at the SAME hospital, and a worker took her home too.
The hospital admitted it “fell short” that time.
And Annie? She was put down too.
So twice now, a dog or cat has been alive and cared for after the family said goodbye.
...this is beyond insane

In 2019, a homeless woman in Anchorage, Alaska, stole a cellphone from a man's truck.
When she looked through it, she found something horrifying. The phone was full of photos and videos of a woman being tortured and strangled to death.
The phone's owner, Brian Steven Smith, had filmed himself beating and murdering 30-year-old Kathleen Jo Henry in a hotel room. At one point, he could be heard saying “In my movies, everybody always dies."
The woman copied the files onto a memory card and took it to police.
During questioning, Smith confessed to shooting another woman before abandoning her remains. In July 2024, he was sentenced to 226 years in prison.

⚡ Wow... ❗Alarming news has appeared on X (formerly Twitter). If this is true, it is a huge facepalm and a fiasco for Elon Musk 🫢
According to an investigation, the owner of SpaceX blocked a US and NATO satellite to help Russians intercept it following the paralysis of Ukraine's air defense.
US researchers uncovered a reality that Musk carefully conceals and does not want anyone to know about. It turned out that on October 13–14, SpaceX not only restricted Starshield/Starlink during a massive Russian attack involving 39 missiles and hundreds of drones—reducing Ukrainian drone interceptions by 23% and even leaving US personnel in Kyiv without communication 👀
48 hours later (October 15), the owner of SpaceX also blocked a US-licensed orbital radar satellite, ICEYE-X36 (used by the NRO, US Space Force, and NATO), using his satellite so that the Russian military satellite COSMOS 2612 could intercept it (posterior probability of 99.89%–99.98%).
🔥 The Pentagon, the US Space Force, and NATO are simply furious over this betrayal of national interests. From now on, the US military cannot rely on "cooperation" with Musk or feel secure amid such absurd blunders, nor can partners from other countries.
Wonder how this might end? 🤔

Three vehicles torched. A Palestinian man's hand broken. All during the olive harvest in the occupied West Bank.
MeidasTouch reporter Suri Crowe recounts what happened to a family she met.
“These Palestinians are merely trying to harvest the olives on land that they have owned, many of them for generations.”

Cleveland-Cliffs’ CEO just admitted it: they bought Stelco in bad faith to kill Canadian competition, and Ontario steelworkers are paying with their futures.
Ontario can’t stand on the sidelines. Ford and Carney must bring Stelco under public ownership and protect these jobs.
