1/ I've been a student of #airassault in the #canadianarmy for some time, and thanks to great sources such as this one, have done some thinking on the VDV assault on #Hostomel. TLDR: AAslt remains relevant. The attack failed because of Russian errors. piped.video/r0Ji7KqqEqg

Opinion: Alexander Ovechkin used his fame to back Putin. We must remember that theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Not only does Canada manage its forests, but only months ago it provided a vast array of support to the United States, from four federal military and civilian services and several provinces, in fighting wildfires the U.S. was unable to manage on its own

Open Letter To the President of the Russian Federation From the President of Ukraine When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past. Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has just called to congratulate us on our victory.

Watching Artemis getting recovered and their radio isn't working with the recovery teams... They are trying to sort it out and we can hear them. Sounds like Phase 3 Infantry platoon stepping off on a night patrol

Trump has insulted and tariffed his European allies, persuaded Denmark to prepare for a US invasion and, by pressuring Ukraine and not Russia, encouraged Putin to keep fighting. All of which he has forgotten. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

It is funny the furthest French that's ever been spoken from Earth was spoken by an Ontarian who had to learn it for promotion in the Air Force.

A quick stop in London with Field Marshal Montgomery. Whatever you think of him, one lesson stands out: preparation and planning win battles long before the shooting starts. Support us here: buff.ly/cuns2KQ #Leadership #SabreTraining

Super awesome to see my second cousin Juliette absolutely crushing it today in Italy! On to the finals!

RT @dontforgetchaos: I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come. This is…

US trade with China: $582.5B USD (Representing 10.9% of total US trade) Canadian trade with China: $86.2B USD (Representing 7.9% of total Canadian trade) The US trades more with China - and Trump himself is trying to negotiate a trade deal with China. Data sources in thread.

It really sucks for the Ukrainians that can’t participate in the Olympics this year because they’re dead. Because Russia killed them.

Shared today by Bev Perry in the Expand Dem Values in the House and Senate Facebook group. I need to say something that's been bothering me for a while, and I'm saying it as a Marine Corps veteran who leans center-right. This isn't partisan. This is observation. We've slow-faded into accepting militarized police as normal, and nobody seems to notice or care. Even as a USMC pilot, I went through six months of infantry training as an officer before flight school. I've worn the gear. The helmet, the tactical vest, the whole kit. And I can tell you from experience, it changes you. There's a psychological shift that happens when you strap that stuff on. You feel different. You carry yourself different. You start seeing the environment differently. In the Marine Corps, that shift was appropriate because it's a combat culture and organization. But these are American streets. American citizens. And we've got law enforcement dressed like they're kicking down doors in Fallujah to serve warrants in suburbia. What happend to high standards and real policing tactics? Think Adam-12...Officers Reed and Malloy. Crisp uniforms. A revolver. A baton. High standards and professionalism. They looked like public servants because they were public servants. They de-escalated. They talked to people. They were part of the community. Now? Tactical gear, beards, ball caps, Oakley sunglasses, sleeve tattoos, and a tactical kit that would make special operators jealous. And we've turned it into a fetish. We celebrate it. We assume that because someone looks hard, they must be a professional. They're not. I loved the Marine Corps. But I'll be honest, I was also blinded by it for a while. Mission first. Unit over everything. And that mentality made sense in that context. But law enforcement doesn't get that critical examination. "Back the Blue" has become a shield against accountability. A blanket assumption that a badge plus gun equals hero. That tactical gear equals competence. It doesn't. Most people who join law enforcement aren't special operators. They're average people who desperately want to belong to something bigger than themselves. I understand that impulse deeply, it's why I joined the Marines. But wanting to belong doesn't make you qualified. Looking the part doesn't mean you can perform under pressure. And wrapping yourself in warrior aesthetics doesn't make you a warrior. Old school law enforcement represented something. Standards. Bearing. Discipline. Professionalism that was demonstrated, not costumed. A revolver and a baton meant you had to rely on your training, your words, your judgment, not overwhelming firepower. What I see now in law enforcement is the costume without the culture. The gear without the training. The authority without the accountability. Are there good people in law enforcement? Of course. I know some personally. But this reflexive "law enforcement can do no wrong" mentality is lazy, dangerous, and intellectually dishonest. A woman is dead. And before we sort ourselves into teams and start assigning blame, maybe we should ask harder questions: Why do we accept a militarized police force as normal? Why do we assume tactical gear equals tactical competence? Why have we let "Back the Blue" become a substitute for actual standards? I wore the uniform. I went through the training. I know what that gear does to your head. It shouldn't be normalized on American streets against American citizens. And we shouldn't pretend everyone wearing it is qualified to carry it. The fact that he called her a “fucking bitch” after he shot her three times should be a huge red flag for all of us.

Denmark had 37 KIA in Afghanistan and 6 in Iraq. Applied to the U.S. population, those KIA-casualty rates would amount to 2,035 dead and 330 dead respectively. A good ally that deserves better.

Military guy here. Our public healthcare system is an important part of our national security. A healthy population makes us stronger as a nation, and the fairest and most efficient way to do this is through public systems.

Today, I have been in contact with Lars Løkke Rasmussen, the Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs, to convey Canada’s support for the fundamental importance of respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity. I reaffirmed our friendship and partnership as members of the Arctic Council and NATO, and through the Canadian-EU strategic partnership launched under Denmark’s EU Presidency. Arctic security is a core priority for Canada, and we remain committed to working closely with our allies and partners. I look forward to travelling to Nuuk for the official opening of Canada’s consulate early in 2026.

The Danish Army was busy dying in Afghanistan and Iraq, a blunder I trust they will never repeat.

When the US triggered NATO's Article 5, for the first and only time in history, every NATO member answered America's call and went to war on another continent. Some, like Ukraine, didn't even need to be NATO members to answer it. Over 7k Europeans will end up killed or wounded.
