Sixteen years ago, one man stood alone on a grassy hill at a music festival in Washington State, USA, and started dancing by himself. People glanced over and looked away. Some laughed. His roommate leaned in and warned him people were filming him. He did not stop. Then one stranger got up and joined him. Then another. Then the hillside tipped. Within minutes, hundreds of people were sprinting from across the field to be part of something that, thirty seconds earlier, had been one man being laughed at in a field. Someone filming from higher up the hill said quietly: "See what one man can do. One man can change the world." The clip spread across the internet in 2009. Entrepreneur Derek Sivers played it at a TED conference to explain how movements actually begin. Not with the first person brave enough to start, he argued, but with the first person willing to join them. Collin Wynter, the man dancing alone, later said he had no idea he had done anything special. He was just tired of watching everyone sit still.

@SarahRyanYEG @edmontonpolice @CityofEdmonton Ah, the hamas lovers brigade. One squeaky watermelon on wheels

There are more than 50 people at the @edmontonpolice Commission meeting at @CityofEdmonton City Hall today. It’s standing room only. #yeg 1 speaker has already called for the Police Chief to step down following his trip to Israel, and comments since.

Carl Perkins with George Harrison - The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise A charming solo moment for Carl in the midst of an all-star jam session, as George looks on, chipping in where needed, happy to let an idol take centre stage. Lovely stuff. 1985.

Happy 72nd birthday to Nancy Wilson...🎸 A true force for women in rock, inspiring generations. Here’s to Nancy and many more amazing years of rockin'...🎉 Crazy on You – Heart

Almost everything in this image was built in the last 30 years. Building beautiful cities is a choice, one that so many places have curiously shunned

@deBeauxOs1 @audricmoses Very profound, we thank you. May I suggest you crack a book open on any other civilization, anywhere, since the dawn of time?

As the descendant of French settlers, I'm here to tell you my ancestors took advantage of Indigenous knowledge, used them to fight their wars, cheated them on every "trade" they made, forced them to convert to christianity, infected them with diseases and stole their land/ water.

Please see my statement on Chief Driechel's trip to Israel #yeg #yegcc #EPS

🔳 POILIEVRE: I’m going to the United States. 🔳 RED DOOR: What for? 🔳 POILIEVRE: To talk about trade and other important things. 🔳 RED DOOR: But ... you’re not the Prime Minister. 🔳 POILIEVRE: I believe I will be at some point. 🔳 RED DOOR: Won’t you scuttle and confuse the discussions that Canada is already engaged in? 🔳 POILIEVRE: I’ll talk to the Americans eye to eye. MAGA to MAGA... I think I can make stuff happen. Mostly for myself. 🔳 RED DOOR: If you’re going behind the back of our elected government to offer your OWN deals when you’re not the Prime Minister and not directed by our cabinet, isn’t that treason? 🔳 POILIEVRE: Technically it would be sedition, not treason. 🔳 RED DOOR: ... You’re ok with that? 🔳 POILIEVRE: I'll deny it. Besides, I have no choice. My advisors say I’m becoming irrelevant. I’ve got to do something to put myself back in play. That’s the honest truth. What would YOU do in my position, madam?? 🔳 RED DOOR: Resign? Find something else to do with your life? Something you’re actually good at? 🔳 POILIEVRE: Resigning doesn’t come with a mansion, chef, driver, housekeepers and hefty allowances. That’s not an option. Nor does the idea of resigning tickle my EGO. I am meant for great things. 🔳 RED DOOR: ... 🔳 POILIEVRE: ...😌 🔳 RED DOOR: Who will you be meeting with over there, anyway? 🔳 POILIEVRE: Right-wing businessmen, obscure politicians, and far-right funders. 🔳 RED DOOR: How will that help Canada? 🔳 POILIEVRE: It won’t. But I’m hoping some nice, well-angled, photo-ops will convince my caucus that I have substance and influence, and they won’t bolt over to Carney. There are also important political projects in Canada that need funding. 🔳 RED DOOR: Isn’t that inviting foreign influence into our politics? 🔳 POILIEVRE: Whatever. 🔳 RED DOOR: Have you no decency, sir? 🔳 POILIEVRE: Name ONE time that decency put food on your table, or stacked your savings account? I'll wait. 🔳 RED DOOR: Wow... 🔳 POILIEVRE: I deal in realities, not Fairy Tales. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Anyway, ma’am, I gotta go ... but - can I count on you to vote for our Conservative candidate in this upcoming by-election? 🔳 RED DOOR: There’s not a snowball’s chance in hell.

Personally, I think Paul McCartney should be on the £5 note

@nenshi Stunt

The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs delivered a unanimous vote of no confidence in Danielle Smith and the UCP. Unanimously. This is not a stunt. It's a warning.

The state is getting desperate

I vividly remember sitting in Iraq listening to CNN explain how it was all a lie that Iran was arming Shias in Iraq, while staring at a case of captured RPG rounds with Iranian Army markings on them.

To all the liberal Western women crying for Khamenei and screaming “Hands off Iran!” This is what the Islamic Republic thinks of you:

This you, @CBCNews ?

@adamscochran @big_pedestrian Could be a decoy 🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe should have covered-up the board showing US asset locations and enemy location intelligence… Jfc.

Liberals across the country
