Menace to democracy Elon Musk has slowed Starlink to sabotage Ukraine and help Putin. So what country will be stupid enough to pay millions to any of Elon Musk's companies when they now know that he may unilaterally breach contracts for personal reasons on a petulant whim? Oh, I know! The US.

On D-Day, 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach, supported by the Royal Canadian Navy and the RCAF. The day saw 1,074 Canadian casualties, including 359 killed. It was a watershed moment in human history. Here are some of the Canadian stories from that day. 📸 LAC 🧵1/12
Black-and-white photo of Canadian soldiers packed into a landing craft on D-Day. Several soldiers wear helmets and heavy gear, with some facing forward toward rough water and a distant naval vessel. The backs of soldiers near the bow show markings on their jackets. Waves rise along the side of the craft as it moves through the water.

This is more than disheartening: it is an attempt to pretend Canada’s judiciary is similar to the U.S. - it is not - and to use this attack to undermine our rule of law. Perhaps Premier Smith has spent far too much time at Mara-A-Lago and has learned too many tricks.
