Peace is never guaranteed. It is brokered, built, and embodied by brave individuals like General John de Chastelain. He understood the power of connection, obligation, and trust to help forge and implement the Good Friday Agreement. An honour to speak at @tcddublin under the banner of his name.

Marco Rubio thinks Trump’s UFC event at the White House belongs in the same conversation as the Moon landing. 😂 So, I guess: “One small step for morons… one giant leap for moronkind?” Seriously, America is being run by blithering fucking idiots.

For weeks, Irish politicians have dodged questions about the refinery in Ireland supplying Russia’s war machine. So I tracked down government minister Niall Collins at a farming show. He refuses to back sanctions & his stance was worse than I expected. Avoidance.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Alberta have served Canada for over a century. Many gave their lives for their country. They fought for Canada. Let's fight against separation. Vote for Alberta to remain a province of Canada on Oct. 19, 2026.

In Québec, we know a lot about separation and referendums. Each time we held one, the party in power in our province had campaigned on this platform- independence- and been elected because of that. In Alberta, Danielle Smith never did. THAT, is not only dishonest, it is hypocritical. The court tells her her referendum is illegal : she ignores it. The courts are part of Democracy- a co-equal branch. Do not think that holding a referendum, even if the result is that Alberta stays in Canada, is without impact. Québec knows it. Referendums are fratricide. The break-up families. Some forever. The scars remain. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli @ABDanielleSmith
I believe Alberta should stay in Canada. I believe Canada is worth fighting for. If a question on Alberta staying in Canada is put to a referendum on October 19, I will be voting to stay. Now let me tell you why the NDP's attacks today are completely dishonest. 🧵

As a Ukrainian, I don’t understand one thing: Why is Ukraine always asked to “be realistic” but russia is never asked to stop invading other countries?
