Canada’s March to the Match continues to work its way through the Toronto streets toward the stadiums. Beautiful scenes as fans chant and cheer and high five fans who are lining the streets. It’s going to be electric inside the stadium today.

💔 THIS IS HEARTBREAKING. COULD DARTMOOR TRULY LOSE ITS PONIES? 🐴📉 A devastating warning has been issued by campaigners who fear that up to NINETY PERCENT of Dartmoor’s iconic semi-wild hill ponies could completely disappear from the moorland. Over 23,000 people have already signed an emergency petition demanding action to protect them. New rules drawn up by Natural England mean that grazing limits across the moors are being slashed. But here is the catch: campaigners say the famous ponies are being lumped into the exact same livestock quotas as commercial cattle and sheep. Because they are competing for the same reduced space, it's feared farmers will be forced to remove the ponies to make way for more financially viable livestock. The Dartmoor Hill Pony Association warns that numbers have already plummeted from 7,000 to just 900 in the last 25 years. They are already listed as an officially endangered native breed. Campaigners warn that once they are gone from the moor, they are gone forever. Natural England says they want to ensure "optimal numbers" remain and that ponies are vital for restoring the landscape—but officials confirm they must be included in the total livestock count. Dartmoor simply wouldn’t be Dartmoor without the ponies. Do you think it’s fair to treat these historic animals the same as farm livestock? 📸 Ben Ivory / Getty Images

How Canada was made:

May Bucket List by Brooklyn Swenson

In Shakespeare’s time the lavender flower was vital. It was used in baking & making conserves & also medicinally to ease migraines. As a perfume it enhanced pretty much everything, including clothes & homes, with its oil being distilled for the first time. #FolkloreSunday

Known as Nóinín in Irish, Daisies are especially important on May Day 🌞 On this day of Beltane, fairies, having crossed the weakened border between worlds roam the townlands and meadows causing mischief... and sometimes...taking children 🧚🏻 Thankfully, a child wearing a necklace or headdress of daisies would be immune from the attention or the fairy folk 💮

In old Ireland primroses were laid on the doorsteps of homes on #1stMay. It was thought this invoked fairy blessings against witches who roamed on #MayDay stealing milk & butter. Without fairy protection there might be no butter for a year! #FairyTaleTuesday #FolkloreSunday

RT @HelloStephano: It’s become clear that the Americans are annoyed that Canada is diversifying our trade globally and being less dependent…

Reminder Pierre is the guy who thought we should build the Canadian economy & our personal finances around crypto currency.

CANADA EXPECTS ALL PARTIES IN THE IRAN CONFLICT TO RESPECT INTERNATIONAL LAWS, NOT TARGET CIVILIAN INFRASTRUCTURE - PM CARNEY CANADA HAS MADE THIS POINT PUBLICLY AND PRIVATELY - CARNEY

Trump's genocidal threats are, of course, illegal and a point of unforgivable shame. But it may also be the bluster before a significant retreat. Trump may accept a variation of Iran's proposal, but precisely to avoid appearing as if he caved, he issues these bombastic threats to leave the impression that Iran backed down out of fear. Accepting elements of the Iranian proposal would have several benefits for Trump: Though Iran insists on charging transit fees, the Straits would nevertheless reopen. Oil would flow once more, which would swiftly push down gas prices in the US. Trump can point to this as a major win, while belittling Tehran's newly won control over the waterway. But precisely because he will be slammed for this by many voices in Washington and in Israel, he needs a narrative that claims Iran caved to his threats. Hence, the unprecedented threats.

This comes weeks after his party had a clear chance to kill it At the House finance committee Conservative MPs accidentally voted w/ the BQ to strip the project from the budget implementation bill, only to quickly reverse course & restore the project, calling the move a mistake
