Dahud Hanid Ortiz:
Venezuelan citizen convicted in Venezuela of a 2016 triple murder committed in Spain (axing, throat-slashing, and beating three people to death in a Madrid law office, then setting a fire). He was sentenced to 30 years. Spain had sought his extradition.
In a July 2025 prisoner swap, @realDonaldTrump secured his release and has been roaming free in Florida.

Ahmed al-Sharaa:
Former al-Qaeda-linked commander previously designated a U.S. terrorist with a $10 million bounty.
In November 2025, he was hosted at the White House by @realDonaldTrump — who then lifted or waived certain sanctions and removed his terrorist designation. Trump publicly praised him despite acknowledging his “rough past.”

Juan Orlando Hernández:
Former Honduran president convicted in a U.S. court of drug trafficking (facilitating hundreds of tons of cocaine into the United States and given a 45 year prison sentence). @realDonaldTrump issued him a full pardon in 2025, leading to his release from U.S. prison.
BUT MAGA THINKS TRUMP'S GETTING RID OF IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS.
Zbigniew Ziobro:
Former Polish justice minister facing up to roughly two dozen criminal charges in Poland, including leading an organized criminal group, misusing public funds, and abusing his office (including using spyware against opponents).
In May 2026, @realDonaldTrump facilitated a U.S. visa, allowing him to enter the United States from Hungary to avoid extradition.
BUT MAGA THINKS TRUMP'S GETTING RID OF IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS.
Flávio Bolsonaro:
Brazilian senator under investigation by Brazil's Supreme Court for alleged money laundering and financial irregularities.
After losing the 2026 presidential election, Brazilian authorities ordered him to surrender his passports. @realDonaldTrump issued visas to him and his family and they were allowed to enter the United States.
BUT MAGA THINKS TRUMP'S GETTING RID OF IMMIGRANT CRIMINALS.
@realDonaldTrump fights against immigrant rights and deports those, whom were not only contributing to society, but also, to our tax system — while issuing visas and invitations to some of the worlds most recognized and known immigrant criminals to live in the U.S. as their safe haven.

🧵Three blacklisted supertankers holding 140,000 tons of Russian fuel are drifting in circles in the Atlantic because the White House begged US traders to buy Putin's diesel, and literally zero buyers answered the phone. 1/🧵

After Natalie Harp told Trump Kansas City is actually in Missouri, he signed an Executive Order renaming Kansas City as "Missouri City."
Kansas City @Cheifs head coach Andy Reid filed a lawsuit, claiming the change will damage the team's legacy.
Trump said if the @NFL stopped hiring players of color and gave him $50M, he'd rescind the order.
You think I'm joking?

Putin joins the First Lady in celebrating the Oleshky truce by slaughtering 14 unsuspecting civilians who were just waiting for their train in Dnipro today. rferl.org/a/oleshky-ukraine-…
THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

.@DanielleSmith was never in any form of contact with me.
However, what prompted me to file my petition still under the old rules, was a call (leak) from a UCP minister, divulging that Smith was plotting a relaxation of rules for separatists. I had to beat them to the punch.
WOW!
Jeff Rath posted text messages that he alleges are from Danielle Smith!
These texts seem to show her coordinating with the separatists to launch their original question, though Rath claims he took them as her coordinating with @LukaszukAB !
What do you think?

Russian forces have begun taking civilians from occupied Oleshky to Russia, apparently disregarding previously announced agreements governing the operation.
The operations are being conducted by the Russian military, without American representatives or teams from either side’s ombudsman office present. Russia’s state news agency TASS is openly filming the operation.
There is no indication that civilians are being given a choice of where they wish to go. No buses or other vehicles designated to transport evacuees to Ukrainian-controlled territory are visible.
The operation raises serious concerns that Russia is once again exploiting a humanitarian evacuation to forcibly transfer Ukrainian civilians.
The parallels with the evacuation of Mariupol’s Azovstal steel plant are disturbing. Once again, Moscow appears to be disregarding agreed procedures while controlling the fate of Ukrainian civilians.

🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: After 40 years of research, Brazilian scientist Dr. Mariangela Hungria wins the World Food Prize for pioneering a $2 nitrogen-fixing bacteria treatment that replaces costly fertilizers, saves farmers $25 billion annually, and cuts 230 million tons of CO₂ emissions.

Hi @MichelleRempel. As you likely know, this was testimony from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, with 103,000 small businesses as members.
The average CFIB member has 5-25 employees and pays us a membership fee of a few hundred dollars per year. And while most are indeed incorporated, your post is quite misleading.
Corporations looking for more temporary foriegn workers can afford to hire lobbyists to advocate on their behalf at Parliamentary Committees.
Unemployed youth can't.
Glad to see Conservatives like @grantjacksonMP fight on their behalf. ⬇️

Dear god. Just one day after the world united to condemn the US blockade of Cuba, @POTUS illegally seizes critical oil bound for the country's homes, hospitals, and schools — doubling down on a siege that has already cost scores of innocent lives.

You cant make this up!

Russian strikes on Ukraine today are truly horrific. A train station in Dnipro, downtown Chernihiv. A father crying over the body of his child. Children screaming for a dad who is now gone.
And no reaction from the US, which is the most involved in making a "peace deal." Nothing from Trump at all.
It creates such a scary, dangerous reality, one where russian oil refineries are protected, but Ukrainian children simply walking the streets of their cities are treated as fair targets. One where the aggression is supported and rewarded and the resistance is judged.
I’m horrified by the world I find myself in. This is not how you make peace deals, this is how you betray your allies and throw them to the wolves.

The horrific screams of "Tato! Tato!" (meaning "Dad! Dad!") will haunt my dreams forever.
Russian terrorism must be stopped. It must be! To strike a busy railway station full of civilians just to punish us is completely inhuman, next-level barbarism. I struggle to convey my disgust, my rage... and sorrow.
Why was it done, why kill people like this? To say "we are letting Oleshky evacuate, but we will still keep murdering you?" I cant wrap my mind around it. I can't. Why? Why??
14 people are dead after the russian strike on a railway station in Dnipro.

This isn't a FULL pension, stop it with this disinformation
If a MLA serves at least 6 years, they are eligible for the pension. But after only 6 years, they'd get 3.5% x 6 years= 21% of their salary when they turn 65
I hate this nonsense. This headline should get community noted. People will believe MLAs will get like 100k for the rest of their lives. This isn't the case.
The pension plan for MLAs is good but not amazing. They pay 11% and they get 3.5% for every year. As comparison, other public servants usually pay 9-10% (I pay 10.15% for instance) and get usually 1.8-2% a year. So it is in fact a more generous plan but they also get nothing if they don't do 6 years
British Columbia’s snap election was scheduled a day after a number of NDP MLAs qualified for a full pension.

actually Canada has a higher GDP per capita than France, Italy, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Chile, New Zealand, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.
It is tied with the UK.
It is behind the US, Australia and a small # of wealthy northwest European countries (eg Netherlands, Norway).
