Too smart to be Hess, too stupid to be Octavian. Trying to think of a historical figure as shallow and sniveling as Vance...

I had many IV infusions a few years ago and most went fine but one of them didn't, caused soreness and discoloration on my arm for weeks and I lost that vein due to clotting. I would still choose IV if I had to go through treatment again (hoping not to).

210 years ago today, the Battle of Waterloo took place over this ground. The Butte du Lion was completed in 1826. Climb the 226 steps to the top for a view of the battlefield.

The Cloth Hall, Ypres 1918.
Built in the early middle ages, it served as the market and warehouse for Belgium's cloth industry. Nearly totally destroyed in WW1.

The Cloth Hall, Ypres. Laid waste in #WW1 compared to how it looks today. Since medieval times the center of Belgium's cloth trade, the building now houses the In Flanders Fields Museum. #history

Very sorry to hear about Bruce passing. In shock. Never met Bruce but our paths may have crossed working at the Edmonton Journal in the 1980's. Loved his analysis of hockey and regularly listened to the Cult of Hockey podcasts. RIP.

Love this place. Hard to believe what it looked like in the summer of 1944.

FULL SPEECH | Trudeau outlines response to U.S. tariffs YouTube video by CBC News

"The United States has launched a trade war with Canada, their ally and closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying murderous dictator. Make that make sense."
Justin Trudeau

If a 9/11 event were to happen again today, Canada would again step forward to help Americans like it did the first time. Because.

Include Canada. After all, it shares a border with Denmark.

Tragically ironic that the party of Lincoln which saved America 160 years ago has now managed to destroy it.
