Two European politicians, dressed symbolically in red and white, sent a message last week to Canada on social media declaring “we’ve got your back”.

Also signalling support was King Charles, who planted a red maple tree on the grounds of Buckingham Palace and wore his Canadian medals during a high-profile visit to a naval warship.

Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney has arrived in Paris before heading to London on Monday – a day after his 60th birthday – for his first foreign visit hoping to achieve more than symbolic encouragement. He wants solid support from allies.

This article makes you think the BBC is a Katie Telford Shitstrainer.

Hundreds of thousands of people descended on Serbia’s capital on Saturday to protest over the deaths of 15 people in a railway station collapse.

While the government put attendance at 107,000 across Belgrade, an independent monitor said 325,000 – if not more – had gathered, making it Serbia’s largest protest ever.

The Novi Sad collapse last November has galvanised anger towards the government and President Aleksandar Vucic. Demonstrators blame corruption and corner-cutting for the loss of life.

PANIC IN BELGRADE

Chaos erupted as stun grenades were launched into the protest crowd just before the rally ended. Local media report that unknown individuals were behind the incident.

Rachel Maddow’s rant at her MSNBC bosses about firing Joy Reid and other non-white hosts has backfired… with her fellow liberals now calling on her to resign in solidarity.

The $25 million a year host took her bosses to task live on air this week saying it was ‘disturbing’ that ‘nonwhite hosts in primetime were losing their shows.’

But Bluesky users were quick to call on the greedy Maddow to put her money where her mouth is and resign, or risk looking like a hypocrite spouting hot air.

Liberal prime-minister-in-waiting Mark Carney keeps insisting he’s not a politician, but he’s selling himself short.

Like any good Liberal politician, his position on carbon taxes is a hot mess of contradictions and on other issues he’s saying one thing to Quebec in French and another to the rest of Canada in English.

“The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct ‘Palestinian people’ to oppose Zionism.” — Senior PLO official Zuheir Mohsen, interviewed by James Dorsey, Trouw, March 31, 1977.

“It is really, really a sad day in America,” Rep. Ilhan Omar declared at a rally by Democrats outside USAID headquarters protesting President Trump’s reconstruction of the aid agency.

It wasn’t a sad day for America, but it was so for Somalia.

CAIRO (AP) — Powerful Arab nations on Saturday rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to neighboring Egypt and Jordan.

Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, the Palestinian Authority and the Arab League released a joint statement rejecting any plans to move Palestinians out of their territories in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

President Donald Trump said his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico are coming on Saturday, but he’s still considering whether to include oil from those countries as part of his import taxes.

“We may or may not,” Trump told reporters Thursday in the Oval Office about tariffing oil from Canada and Mexico. “We’re going to make that determination probably tonight.”

After a Pearl Harbor or an Oct 7, the only ‘deal’ that could be considered with the perpetrators is their absolute surrender. Hamas however took hostages to force an Israeli retreat.

That’s what a ‘ceasefire’ always was.

Much as it pains us to say it, guns aren’t part of everyone’s childhood. While many of us grew up hunting in the woods or just making trips to the range with our parents, a lot of people never got that.
