On this day... ten years ago... I made my very first investment 💰 What a long strange trip it’s been 1/n 🧵

@grok .@grok thank you for your attention to this matter!

.@grok explain what an export tax layer on top of import tariffs would do to the US economy, but do it on simple terms like I was stupid. ft.com/content/1434c9…

The landing of A Company, North Shore Regiment on Juno Beach on D-Day on June 6, 1944 in France during WWII.

The world is busy but please take a moment today. June 6, 1944, young Canadian men and women played a major role in the greatest seaborne invasion of all time, the Allied assault on Normandy. It began many weeks of battle but was critical for our freedoms. warmuseum.ca/cwm/exhibition…

A cloudy morning. The smell of saltwater. Waves crashing on the hull of the landing boats. Soldiers quiet – carrying the weight of Europe on their shoulders. We remember the brave heroes who risked everything when they landed on Juno Beach 81 years ago.

The Canadians, many of them volunteers, pushed furthest inland today. Allies matter. You don't win wars without friends.

The 6th of June 1944, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division and 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade landed on Juno Beach. The 8th Canadian Infantry Brigade attacked at Bernières-sur-Mer, while the 7th Canadian Infantry Brigade landed near Courseulles-sur-Mer. The Canadian assault troops faced fierce opposition from the German defenders, protected in concrete defensive structures armed with machine guns and artillery. Despite the heavy resistance, the Canadians pushed inland and established their position in the beachhead. 359 Canadian soldiers, including those from the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, were killed on D-Day while over 500 others were wounded and another 131 were captured by the Germans. The success at Juno Beach came at a heavy price. 3rd Canadian Infantry Division War Diary 6 June 1944: This was the long awaited D Day. The sea was much more unruly than most of us expected -- probably fooling the Germans as well as ourselves. From the Hilary one could see, long before dawn, the constant flashes of exploding bombs from the coast of France. There seemed to be a myriad of boats -- all sizes and shapes tossing on the waves. First message received was at 0618 hrs informing us that our amphibious tanks might not be launched due to heavy seas. Subsequent messages came to the Ops desk in a steady stream, from Navy, Army and Airforce. The DD tks were finally launched from about 4000 yds to 2500 yds on one sector, on the other sector the craft beached to unload. Rough weather was responsible for some being drowned and others arriving late on the beaches. 0809 The leading Inf touched down on both Bde Sectors. 1050 Gen R F L Keller issued the order to land the reserve Bde -- 9 Cdn Inf Bde -- and Stand-in HQ, on the left Bde Sector (The one assaulted by 8 Cdn Inf Bde). The Div Commander with half his HQ Staff left the Hilary at 1145 hrs, the other half headed by the GSO 1 Lt-Col J D Mingay left at approximately 1340 hrs. 1435 Gen Keller held a conference of Brig Blackader and Cunningham -- Commanders of 8 and 9 Cdn Inf Bdes respectively and Brig Wyman Commanding 2 Cdn Armd Bde. Place: Berniers Sur Mur This first "O" Gp on French soil confirmed that the N Shore R were in TAILLEVILLE and it was decided that 8 Cdn Inf Bde would take BENY SUR MER. When this had been accomplished 9 Cdn Inf Bde would pass through. 1530 By this time BENY SUR MER was clear of the enemy and 9 Cdn Inf Bde had started their move forward. Meanwhile 7 Cdn Inf Bde had overcome the enemy in CROIX SUR MER, BANVILLE and had secured the crossing at TIERCEVILLE. 2200 7 Cdn Inf Bde had occupied the area LANTHEUIL, LE FRESNE-CAMILLY and CAINET. 8 Cdn Inf Bde occupied area COLOMBY SUR THAON, AUGUERNY. 9 Cdn Inf Bde occupied area VILLONS LES BUISSONS -- LE VEY. Div HQ was situated in a small orchard at BERNIERS SUR MER. Everyone dug themselves in. The veh situation was very limited, consisting of wireless half-track and one jeep. Sleep was not contemplated by reason of excitement and also by heavy AA fire being put up on the beaches against enemy bombing. Our defence platoon had not landed so everyone, other than those doing immediate jobs set about guarding the HQ. Pictures 📷Infantrymen in a Landing Craft Assault (LCA) going ashore from H.M.C.S.

Eighty-one years ago on June 6, 1944, Canadian forces stormed Juno Beach in Normandy, beginning the liberation of Western Europe and eventually leading to the end of the Second World War in Europe. 1/4

Today in 1944, the 1st Hussars landed Juno Beach. #DDay would be the Regiment's first battle, and the start of a brutal campaign in Normandy, you can view our presentation on the 1st Hussars who were killed in the Normandy Campaign here: youtube.com/watch?v=xkLjHo… #DDay81

I have covered @MarkJCarney for years. Now he has his own electoral mandate (and has made history) - one of the best economists in the world. Perfectly suited to this fight. Calm. Charming. Deliberate and very clever. The US will regret this fight.

The best that Trump did in 100 days: Mark Carney

Federal - The Liberals will form the next government We will have to wait to determine a minority or majority

Following last night’s brutal assault on Kyiv, it’s clear Putin has no interest in peace. Time to answer Russia’s ongoing invasion in Ukraine with renewed American strength and give our ally the military support they need to win a victory for freedom.🇺🇸🇺🇦 abcnews.go.com/International/…

It isn't a drawdown until you hesitate to buy more of something you believe in. You loved it 20% lower but not 50%. The "let's see how things shake out first" replaces conviction - when you start questioning your thesis, yourself, your sanity. That is a drawdown.

The spokeswoman for China’s ministry of foreign affairs just posted this:

Maybe the true tariffs were the friends we made along the way.

I’m old enough to remember when this was about Fentanyl…
