Seems like if you're going to make a national story out of Hasan Piker, who campaigned a few times with the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, saying Israel causes antisemitism, you should also make a national story out of the favorite intellectual of the US Vice President supporting Hitler.

It’s the “Good czar, bad boyars” thing that Russians use to excuse Putin. It’s not the tyrant’s fault, it’s the fault of the advice the tyrant gets.
It’s so stupid. Also, so is Tillis, and everyone pretending like he’s anything but a gutless coward when it matters.

SBU drones struck a Su-35 and a Su-34 fighter jet, along with an ammunition depot, at a Russian military airfield in Adygea overnight. Both aircraft carry guided bombs that Russia uses against the frontline and Ukrainian cities.
Overnight, the Khanskaya military airfield in Adygea was reportedly hit and set on fire. The raid lasted most of the night and targeted drone launch sites used against Ukraine, including Maykop, Hvardiiske, and Primorsk-Akhtarsk.

Canada is not actually 'battling for survival' in the context of secession, because in both Alberta and Quebec secession has relatively small amounts of public support. What we're battling is dipshit far-right populist politicians enabling/pushing for this destructive bullshit.
Leaving Canada is effectively on the ballot in not one but two provinces: Alberta and Quebec.
It can seem like Canada is battling for survival on multiple fronts, apparently out of nowhere. But there is more to the story.
