Ouch.
There’s a reason most potato chips are cheap. Seed oils are cheap. Cutting corners is cheap. We make ours with beef tallow, non-GMO potatoes, and salt. It costs more. We’re okay with that.

Sukhvinder “Suki” Singh Sunger is a police constable with the Vancouver Police Department. He has made history as the first-ever turbaned Sikh Drum Major to command and lead the march at the prestigious Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. He looks magnificently resplendent in his Royal Stewart tartan attire.

Actual headline: ‘It’s very unnerving’: Ottawa mom warns after alleged incident involving Uber Eats driver, child"" Of course, I read it as : ‘It’s very unnerving’: Ottawa mom warns after alleged incident involving Uber, eats driver, child. I am a very sick puppy.

Michael Clarke: When people in the States say, "Oh, look how corrupt Ukraine is," I’d say, "First of all, pal, I think Ukraine, objectively, is less corrupt than United States is these days." You can construct sensible argument, which says: "Ukrainians talk about corruption because it bothers them. You guys have stopped talking about it because it doesn’t bother you anymore. You’ve normalized it." I think there’s sensible argument to say that Ukraine is less corrupt than the United States.

At today’s #ComdRCN Change of Command Ceremony the sailors attending represented every part of our nation, Atlantic & Pacific fleets & every Naval Reserve Division from Coast to Coast to Coast. Each looking very tiddly in their white uniforms. Combined bands from Stadacona, Naden & Naval Reserved played a rousing Heart of Oak as the parade marched off. #ReadyAyeReady

The final duty of a Naval Change of Command ceremony is “Rowing the outgoing skipper ashore.” VAdm Topshee & his supportive family passed HMCS HAIDA as sailors from across Canada manned the rails of this historic #RCNavy destroyer giving 3 Cheers followed by cheers from the guests on the jetty.

Every time I see Mark Messier on television, aged 65, I swear he could strap on the skates and still play competitively in the NHL.
