Artemis II just dropped a new picture of Earth (Left).
Hey @grok why do all these images of planet Earth from NASA all look entirely different? Please explain it to me like I’m five years old.

@SaltyGoat17 You’re also the only retards in the whole alliance who continually insert yourselves in other countries’ business, wage wars and make enemies for no reason.
NATO only needs to exist at all because the US causes for itself and its allies.
English
@MikeTheNavyGuy1 More accurately, the feds killed an entirely privately funded pipeline then disastrously spent 7x its initial budget in taxpayer money to get it back.
English
@gator_gum Deal. Of course, it won’t happen, because libtards won’t allow a pipeline to be built.
You are the only ones standing in the way of what you’re describing.

@zielinska_3742 @Jvnior Collapse it then! Who gives a fuck
English
@Jvnior 1. They can't prosecute them in the current setting of the World, as it would collapse it.
2. Their names in Epstein's emails are not enough in the court to prove the guilt.
If you think, you can repair the World during one generation, then you are naive.

Can cons try to be fiscally responsible for ONCE in their lives?
How is slashing gas taxes going to solve anything when we already have an $80b deficit?

Conservatives call for dropping tax on gas and diesel fuel for rest of this year theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@Kb1234567863403 @TheChaosWeeber A train already DOES pass there, can you read?
English
@TheChaosWeeber The blue line has another big problem, it cuts through the part of Frontenac park that has lots of lakes and rivers. If a train were to pass there, lots of bridges would have to be built adding extra costs. The red line is cheaper and serves way more people
English
The blue line misses Ottawa dumbass
Élie Cantin-Nantel@elie_mcn
There is a railway that is effectively a straight line from Toronto to Montreal. Shown in BLUE. Building high speed rail along it would make sense. Instead, the Liberals propose a boondoggle of a line, shown in RED, that goes through all these communities they need to win.
English
@TheChaosWeeber Build a 20km extension to it then, dumbass

Every country facing $100 oil:
🇦🇺 Australia: fuel tax cut in half
🇪🇸 Spain: fuel tax relief
🇮🇹 Italy: fuel tax cuts
🇵🇱 Poland: major fuel tax cuts
🇵🇹 Portugal: fuel tax relief
🇫🇷 France: targeted subsidies
🇩🇪 Germany: price controls
🇨🇦 Canada: raised industrial carbon price 16%

@sarbjitkaur1 Let’s try not sending $13B overseas for gender programs. Can we try that?
English
@TheChaosWeeber Maybe if Trudeau didn’t blow $13B on overseas gender programs we’d have the money to build some …
English
hey Canada, notice how many 3rd world countries have high speed rail.
FFS we're beating beaten by Morocco, Turkey, China, Uzbekistan, Indonesia etc.
and Algeria, India, Iran, and Egypt all have plans to build HSR.
You really are ok with canada falling THAT far behind?
English
@Coffey4Canada2 Not wasting billions on overseas gender programs. Done. Next question?
English
How do you propose replacing $30-$40 million a day in tax revenue?
How do you propose replacing $13 billion in tax revenue annually?
How do you propose balancing a budget?
Give us 1 good answer.
No slogans.

Calgary lost Tkachuk/Gaudreau in 2022, it’s not 2026 and their best young piece is Zayne Parekh.
Van started their rebuild in Dec 2025 and already has a better young piece in Zeev.
Imagine taking victory laps about guys like Matt Coronado in year 4 of a rebuild 😭
Mike Gould@miketgould
The difference is that the Canucks were already really bad pretty much every year they had Hughes. They only made the playoffs twice when they had him, whereas the Flames have had farther to fall. Now, we're here, and Calgary has a significantly better pool of future assets.
English
@59years_of_gray If they're entirely private, how does that help us? Why should private companies get rich off resources that belong to Canada?
English
So, building high speed rail is "the west subsidizing" the east.... But, building a pipe line isn't the opposite?
Also, this isn't remotely how taxation works. We don't pay "per person" for projects.
Paul Mitchell@PaulMitchell_AB
Ottawa wants to spend $90 Billion on high-speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City. That's $4000 out of the pocket of every Canadian taxpayer to fund something that 99% will never use. As usual, Western Canadians will be paying to subsidize Ontario and Quebec. Insanity.
English
@gator_gum Pipelines would be built with private money if the government would ever get out of its own way
English
@JeffreyLuscombe Wasting $90B on it while people can’t find doctors or work or afford food or housing is what gets Conservatives’ blood boiling.
Though you don’t care about any of that, do you?
This could be structured as a PPP and make way more sense. It’s not some righteous infallible plan.
English
Apparently this gets Conservative’s blood boiling.

A high-speed train is passing through the high-speed railway station at full speed. It looks cool.😎
English
@latestinspace Wish they would’ve put a camera facing downward/behind on the rocket and live-streamed the entire journey. Surely we have the technology.
Would help prove the flat earth and firmament idiots wrong too

🚨 This was the Artemis II crew's view this morning from 41,756 miles (67,200 km) up
No human has seen a crescent Earth in full since 1972
