In 1895, in the remote West Kootenays of British Columbia, a narrow gauge railway was built to reach the richest silver mines in the world. By 1910 exploitation would destroy everything, a resonate story we can still learn from. Click pics, read ALTs.
Ukraine is the strongest country on our planet, and our friend and ally. Help Ukraine every way you can as they fight an existential war against Putin's invasion. Putin is losing, and Ukraine will win.
This is the way. Help our fellow people exist and flourish in peace. It is this simple.
A good place to start "vandal-proofing" the Reflecting Pool would be to stop people driving through the wet paint.
Canada has a long history of sending fire-fighters and water-bombers down to help our US neighbours with their own wildfires. Shame on certain US politicians using smoke to promote their own political survival, and as a smokescreen to cover their own lack of accomplishments.
It takes a lot of cahones to be the largest emitter of CO2 on the planet, deny the existence of the climate change that results, and then complain when your neighbour's forests catch fire.
Ukraine strikes against russian ships supplying Crimea in the Sea of Azov, to the intro to 'Big Bang Theory'. (by @414magyarbirds on the other place.)
Ukrainian farmers have a long tradition of towing away abandoned russian tanks, and now capturing Shahed drones.
Ukrainian-speaking people used to extend well beyond today's internationally-respected borders, far into Belarus and the Kuban. This map from 1919 reflects where Ukrainian-speaking people lived at the end of WW1. Reflect on this as Putin continues his war of genocide. Click pics, read ALTS.
In Orsk, russia, the fuel trucks are out of fuel. (from EuromaidanPR on the other place)
I don't apologize for my support for Ukraine. Ukraine is the frontline against russian aggression. If Ukraine is defeated, russian arrives here and now.
Even the 'Museum' TTC subway platform is cool. 😎 (image by dsai.ca/projects/mus...)
"36 hours in line for fuel." The state of russia's supply chain is struggling. Zabaykaisky-Krai is in russia's far east next to China's Mongolian region. The problem is expanding rapidly. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zabayka...
Great footage of two Ukrainian Flamingo FP-5 cruise missiles slamming into Russia's 'Titan-Barrikady' missile plant plant in Volgograd last week. (From WarTranslated on the other place.)
You are so very right. :-) And most of our shared planet can't wait to see the destruction of the Kersh Bridge!
Oh, we're all lookin'... :-) We know the railway bridge fire weakened the steel spans. We know they're working on Flamingo precision. And meanwhile all those vatniks need a way to walk out...
Today, Caolin received Ukraine’s Order of Merit from President Zelenskyy. Outstanding journalism speaks truth to power. @caolanrob.bsky.social
Speaking truth to power is everything. Objecting in the face of fascism is everything. Alexei Navalny was Putin's greatest threat. This was his advice, and he was not wrong.
Mississauga, Ontario, today received a 7/8 scale reproduction of AVRO Arrow 201 from donor Stainless Outfitters in Barrie, for display in a Malton park. A labour of love by the donor. (vid from Mayor Carolyn Parrish on the other place)
Karma is a bitch. Russian television, RT, released this TV spot in 2022. And now russia is out of gas. (from Bösartiger Fella on the other place)
