As Canada becomes increasingly known for exporting wildfire smoke, is now the time to build oil pipelines? I speak to Jaime Poisson at CBC’s Front Burner about what Carney is prioritizing for investment with little to no public debate.

U.S. forces are retreating. That's what this means.
"Pulled out and returned to their home stations in the U.S. as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns" is a fancy way of saying the Iranian military has the U.S. military in retreat.
This is unbelievably embarrassing.

WATCH: All U.S. bombers deployed to RAF Fairford in England have been pulled out and returned to their home stations in the United States as potential Iranian threats raise base security concerns across Europe.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible!
Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435).
In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed.
So Holly moved him.

The thing about ICE is that eventually it WILL be abolished. I don't know if it will be in 5 years or 50 years but it will happen. With certainty. And when it does, it will be remembered along the securitate, Stasi, etc, and so will the people who served there.
