Hey @TSN_Sports can your commentators talk about Colombia? We agree that Messi is important but hey, kill time better.

Ah @nickclegg that'll be the guy who one couldn't keep off the air till he joined #Cameron's wretched coalition, enabled #Brexit, and fled to #Facebook, now Meta. Nick is still there, coining it and refusing interviews in an emergency where lives are at stake.
I'd also welcome a call from Canada's heritage minister or from the management of any large news organization or news association, all of whom have entirely failed to ask us or our audience what we think or want.

Finally the incompetent courier company employed by @WestJet delivered my lost luggage. 30 hours late. I had to go out i. the street and argue with the driver. Never had bad customer service like this.

Wow. Flying @WestJet has been truly awful for us. Lost refunds, lost baggage, late flights. Ridiculous. Never again.

It’s time to ask: what would a Ukraine-Russia peace deal look like?

If the Russians are ever to withdraw, then a diplomatic agreement on the terms of withdrawal will be necessary. So what should the demands be?

Ok. Deep breath. I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in. The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie. 1/

In 1941 over 33,000 Ukrainian Jews were murdered in a 2 day span in the Babi Yar ravine marking one of the deadliest massacrers of the Holocaust. For 🇺🇦 to have a Jewish President descended from a Holocaust survivor standing up to a dictator is really empowering.

Sad to hear a few left wingers say invasion is justified because Ukraine is run by ‘fascists’, echoing Putin’s claim that he wants to ‘de-nazify’ Ukraine. His use of ‘genocide’ as an excuse is as dodgy as the 45 minutes claim Blair cooked up to justify invading Iraq
