Christ is risen from the dead, and with him, we too rise to new life! This Easter proclamation embraces the mystery of our lives and the destiny of history, reaching us even in the depths of death. #Easter

@SunshineS495 @NightSkyToday @grok @grok answer Sunshine Surfer, please.

JUST IN🚨: In Osaka’s Umeda area, a pipe about 30 meters long and 5 meters in diameter suddenly emerged from underground overnight. It has now risen to around 10 meters, and the cause remains unknown.

“This is the secret war that’s been going on since the dawn of time.”

We are barbarians living among the ruins of a superior civilization.

For the record: What has Canada become? Canada likes to boast about having one of the most educated populations on earth, but when it comes to Trump Derangement Syndrome it behaves like the global capital of political hysteria. What passes for “education” has curdled into progressive indoctrination so deep that basic objectivity and critical thought have become niche pursuits rather than civic norms. Carney’s Davos grandstanding about Canada as a moral superpower is a case study in this self‑congratulatory delusion, all rhetoric and posture, no serious reckoning with power or trade realities. Common sense of the street suggests that Canada will pay a heavy price for this performance politics, yet now we get Doug Ford charging the hill as the obedient attack dog of the eastern elite, not the defender of Ontario’s real economic interests. It is a breathtakingly stupid strategy while the Ontario economy continues to tank, and instead of course correction we get more theatrical outrage and tribal signalling. Add to that the Bank of Canada, with Macklem dutifully shading monetary and economic rhetoric to fit our own polite, Canadian variant of TDS, and you have institutions reinforcing the same pathology rather than checking it. What was once an objective citizenry has been reduced to a lap dog culture, yapping on command for the progressive elite and the globalist Davos crowd. Canada’s prosperity still hinges on a hard, unsentimental economic relationship with the United States, yet its political and technocratic class behaves as if hashtags, panels, and summit applause can substitute for leverage, bargaining power, and trade strategy. Facts, not feelings, will settle this experiment, and on current trajectory Canada will discover that trading sovereignty for moral vanity is a very expensive way to learn basic geopolitical arithmetic. To be clear, Carney is playing a dangerous game. Canada needs the U.S. far more than the U.S. needs Canada, and indulging TDS as the organizing principle of foreign and industrial policy is not just embarrassing, it is dangerous. Bessent’s warnings should be taken with utmost seriousness; alas, they are waved away by a political class intoxicated with its own rhetoric. With even a moment’s reflection, one can see the pain of reality that awaits Canada if this trajectory holds. Facts matter, and Carney’s chosen strategy sits squarely on the wrong side of history; one could say he has willingly put Canada on the altar of the progressive, globalist cause and struck the match himself. One of Confucius’s most enduring observations is that we gain wisdom in three ways: through reflection, which is noblest; through imitation, which is easiest; and through experience, which is the bitterest. Canada once had the confidence and seriousness to choose reflection first. Today, it seems determined to skip both reflection and intelligent imitation and head straight for the bitter lesson of experience. What has Canada become?

There isn't a more perfect role model than Jesus Christ.

I’m going to drop a trvth nuke If you were Christian prior to the 16th century, you were catholic. You would believe everything the Catholic Church teaches, because in the 4th century at the council of Rome, Carthage and Hippo, the Catholic Church compiled the New Testament and canonized the Bible. Catholicism is not a Christian denomination, it is the one true church that Jesus Christ founded with direct lineage to Jesus. Every Christian denomination we have now is a direct result of different heresies and must be dismantled by any means possible. If someone in the catholic church did something non catholic to damage the image of the church and the teaching of Jesus, they should have been punished, arrested or executed depending on the severity of it. It does not give you authority from God to start your own Church by breaking away from Jesus’ church which he built, aka the Catholic Church.

Something I rarely ever discuss and never share publicly is the huge amount of responses I receive from China defectors every time Sam Cooper and I get together for a conversation. I have hundreds of emails in my inbox from people who narrowly escaped communist China and some from people who are still there. I would never share their identities because China tracks dissenters all over the world. If you were born in China from 1948 up to the present day, the CCP believes they own you as an individual and have the right to lay claim over your agency as a human being. It sounds ridiculous but this is the prevailing mode of thought in China—beginning with Mao and continuing with Xi Jinping—and is the mode of thought we're seeing emerge in Canada and the EU. What I hear most from China defectors is about a blood-curdling fear that Mark Carney and the Liberal government are going to increase China's access to the Chinese diaspora in Canada. These people are terrified that the harassment they experience is going to transform into real world violence—the same violence they and their families came here to escape. When we discuss these issues we often talk about them in a geopolitical context—Mark Carney sells Canada to China, Trump now forced to strong-arm Canada away from China—but there are very real people on the ground caught between these dueling empires. There are real stories here; real people who are fearful that this communist monster is about to snatch their freedom from them again. I think it's important we remember that. It's easy to get distracted by the geopolitical theater, but these movements on the global chess board have real consequences—and not just for Chinese-Canadians and Chinese-Americans. We are all going to be deeply affected by this. Whether you're outspoken like me, or prefer to move through it all with your head down, this thing is coming for all of us. America has to win.

@davepl1968 @Skeleman71 It's aboot time someone said something. Sorry.

@Skeleman71 Um, every Canadian, every time. It's not subtle.

It’s weird that “aboot” is a Canadian stereotype, I’ve never heard anyone aside from 1 man ever use it.

Step one - stop reading the Globe and Mail

GM! Jesus loves you! 👑

Proof that heroes are important, even just as symbols.

@grok Thanks, Grok! I'm leaning Ryan Howard personally.

Here’s my take on top 10 potential Ryans for Ryanair CEO, based on business acumen, fame, or fun fit (assuming a hypothetical change from O’Leary): 1. Ryan Cohen - GameStop turnaround king, could gamify cheap flights. 2. Ryan Roslansky - LinkedIn CEO, master networker for airline routes. 3. Ryan Smith - Qualtrics founder, data whiz for customer feedback. 4. Ryan Graves - Uber co-founder, knows disruptive transport. 5. Ryan Reynolds - Actor/entrepreneur, marketing genius for viral ads. 6. Ryan Murphy - TV producer, could script dramatic cost cuts. 7. Ryan Giggs - Soccer legend, speed and strategy for operations. 8. Ryan Tubridy - Irish broadcaster, local charm for PR. 9. Ryan Howard (The Office) - Fictional, but excels at paper-thin margins. 10. Ryan Seacrest - Host, keeps everything on time like flights. Pure speculation! What’s your pick?

@grok who would you say are the top ten potential Ryans for new Ryanair CEO?

We're going to be stuck with these Elbows Up knobs forever. Thanks Trump.
