Yep and his name is Terry Fox
I’ve asked this before but is there any historical event that is like the Opposite of 9/11. Like something so good that happened that it changed the world forever

Agradeço muito pelas palavras, primeiro-ministro @MarkJCarney. Esta foi uma vitória da democracia, do multilateralismo e da paz. Seguiremos defendendo o diálogo entre as nações, a justiça social e a preservação ambiental. Vamos aproveitar essa oportunidade histórica de aproximação entre nossos países. Estamos esperançosos com a conclusão do Acordo MERCOSUL-Canadá. Sigamos juntos.
Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil. The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

Lula gigante. Le ganó no solo a Bolsonaro, sino a Meta y toda la campaña de Trump en su contra.

For the first time in two decades, Canada’s First Ministers and First Nations leadership are meeting. Our focus is clear: what we can build and deliver together. Major infrastructure. More homes. Better health care. Safer communities. Better preparation for emergencies. Building a stronger, fairer, and more inclusive Canada for all.

Incredible. PM Carney is in hyperdrive. Share far and wide. Hi Poilievre. 👋🏽🤡
NEW from me: Last year, Mark Carney set a goal to double Canada's non-US exports by 2035. Today, he's already halfway there In response to Trump's tariffs & threats, Canadian businesses, consumers, & even tourists are taking difficult steps to decouple from the US🧵

Kushner gave up Khashoggi’s location and MBS listened to his cries as he was dismembered while still alive. Jared received $2 billion from MBS
Jared Kushner sent over $80M to a HITMAN. that’s a lot of money. I wonder if the hit was done in a public setting. I wonder if the victim was a well-known political figure.

🇪🇺🇨🇦 EU Eyes Canada for Europe's Starlink Alternative IRIS² The EU is considering Canada as a potential partner for IRIS², its secure satellite network aimed at reducing Europe's reliance on foreign providers. The move comes as Brussels and Ottawa deepen ties amid tensions with the Trump administration, ahead of the EU-Canada summit in Montréal on 29–30 October.

Well, would you look at that! 🔥 Just 380 km from Moscow, Ukraine has hit the Energy plant in Yelets. It is Russia's only factory plant that makes the batteries needed for its advanced missiles. Well done. Slave Ukraine! 🇺🇦

🚨MUST READ : A moving testimony from a Brazilian who traveled hundreds of kilometres so his older mother could vote... If only WE, in Western Democracies, took our vote so seriously... #cdnpoli #Lula
Replying to @anniedufour99
Viajei mais de 2h30 do interior do Rio de Janeiro para a Capital do Estado ( a capital e o estado tem o mesmo nome ) para eu e minha mãe votarmos em Lula. E nós ainda oferecendo carona para as pessoas chegarem a tempo em seus locais de votação ✊🏾⭐

😆😆 Love how he answers succinctly and then journalists don’t know what to do. 😆😆
Reporter: You said about the U.S., "We recognize that sometimes its signature was written in pencil." I'm wondering how you know that this time the president will sign in pen? Mark Carney: I don't know that. Do you have a follow-up?

I will be buying this. Always wanted an update!
Our family’s journey needed more pages. Ten years after arriving in Canada, we joined author Jon Tattrie to launch the expanded edition of Peace by Chocolate. Jon has had to expand the first edition because apparently our family is not very good at giving him an ending. Thank you to everyone who came out, including people who welcomed us when we first arrived. You certainly already know parts of this book. Canada and Nova Scotia are the real heroes of this book. They welcomed us before there was a company, before there was anything to celebrate. We will never stop being grateful for that. Thank you to Jon for continuing to tell our story with such care and grace, and to everyone who joined us at Halifax Central Library and the Antigonish Heritage Museum. Seeing you there with my family was something I wish I could put into words as well as Jon does.
 Ten years later, I also still get to thank some of the people who took a chance on us in person. That was my favourite part of our book launch. Give the expanded edition a read and let me know what you think. I would recommend it, but my entire family is in it, so you probably shouldn’t trust my review. Peace.

Wab Kinew calls on Ottawa to abolish Indian Act: "I'm not sure if that lines up with your vision of Canada, that we still have a race-based form of identification in this country. It's long overdue that we have a relationship with Indigenous peoples in Canada that reflects who we are as Canadians today."

Don’t be fooled, spacewalks may seem routine, but venturing out into the vacuum of space is very serious business. The entire team will be on high alert to manage the risk, get the tasks done, and keep the crew safe. I’m super excited to see @Astro_Kutryk outside the @Space_Station on his first spacewalk on October 29 with @astro_anil! On pourrait être tenté de croire que les sorties dans l’espace sont routinières, mais s’aventurer dans le vide spatial est une affaire très sérieuse. Toute l’équipe sera en état d’alerte maximale pour gérer les risques, accomplir les tâches et assurer la sécurité de l’équipage. J’ai vraiment hâte de voir Josh à l’extérieur de la Station spatiale internationale le 29 octobre pour sa première sortie dans l’espace avec Anil!

El que abraza a Lula es @AndreJanonesMG el diputado que con un canal de WhatsApp rompió el bloqueo de Meta y las otras empresas tecnológicas, y cambió la campaña después de la derrota en primera vuelta. Hijo de una empleada domestica y un padre discapacitado, se pagó su carrera de abogado trabajando como cobrador de pasajes en los buses. Su canal de WhatsApp (donde creó el “Ejército de Lula) pasó de 50 mil personas en primera vuelta a 10 millones para la segunda. Sin el trabajo de Janones no hay remontada, Lula lo sabe y por eso el reconocimiento de ayer. Como anécdota, fue quien convenció a Lula de finalmente usar teléfono celular, un iPhone. Ahhh y reivindicó la camiseta de la selección Brasil para la campaña, de la que se había apropiado el bolsonarismo.
Esta é a foto que está estampando a vitória de Lula nos principais jornais do mundo (vi no The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian e no The Times). Bastante representativa para ilustrar a importância de @AndreJanonesMG nesta campanha! Arrisco dizer que sem Janones, Lula não teria virado. E Lula reconheceu isso. Só Alckmin e Janones receberam o microfone para discursar na Paulista. Não há dúvidas que, descontado o próprio Lula, André Janones é o nome que sai maior desse pleito presidencial. E com altas credenciais para disputar o governo de Minas Gerais pelo PT em 2030. Por hora, espero que seja nomeado Secretário de Comunicação Social ainda em Lula 3! Tem tudo para conseguir cumprir a promessa que acabou de fazer: garantir que Lula termine o próximo governo com uma aprovação beirando os 90%.

Claims by Bolsonaro that a two-hour extension of the voting period changed the outcome of the vote have no substance, reports Folha. The total number of votes cast for both sides during the overtime period are less than 1% of Lula's margin of victory.

JD Vance: Ryan Zinke complemented my beautiful blue eyes earlier today. I was very excited about that. We're self-confident men in the Trump-Vance administration. The president has been noticing a lot about the physiques of everybody lately

Guess the name change fooled some people.
Conservatives have governed BC under the names “Social Credit” and “BC Liberals” for 52 of the last 74 years. Uninformed people should stop portraying this as the first time BC has had a right wing govt in 100 years.

Please. This snowflake couldn’t handle the backlash. If Trump wanted to be blessed, he could have gone to a Church and done it in private. Everything’s propaganda for the rubes.
