One day we will look back at this time and will remember how we responded. Did you find your spine or did you punch down? Did you apologize to a bully or did you find your feet. Finding strength in the darkness and conviction in a storm weatherproofs a society.

Rising gas prices are causing a steep rise in consumer prices and will slow any future economic growth. It is a tax on all Americans.

CAF Cpl Karine Blais was blown to pieces when the vehicle she was in struck a hidden IED on the front line north of Kandahar City, Afghanistan on Apr-13-2009, while apparently doing sweet fuck all for the United States of America. She was just 21 years old. 🙏 #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦

The Trump administration's attitude to allies is like that of a drunken violent husband who is genuinely surprised when his battered wife finally leaves him.

This is hilarious 😆 listen to the audio
This audio accompaniment of the loser protesters in bike helmets and with garbage can shields getting wrecked is amazing.

Incredible moment captured on video as a shark takes an injured sea turtle to humans on a boat so they can help save it 🙏🐢
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
These are two different incidents. The turtle being attacked by a shark (not being helped) happened in the Bahamas: youtu.be/8AFWZTfHUyE The second video is from Costa Rica: youtu.be/lVPSTkYihCY

Day 5 of the runaround, I still don't know if $700 in @SOBEYS e-cards for FOOD we DONATED are in fact usable. Their stores now won't accept them, telling us 'their systems are down' & have been 'for a month'. Perhaps I'll get a straight answer when the story is published.
Day 4: Still unresolved. @sobeys please answer the DMs you requested.
