I am a proud Canadian.
nearly thirty years ago i saw a guy stand up in an all hands staff meeting, declare "this is stupid", walk out and never come back, and friends, there's not a single day of 2026 I haven't thought of him
Trump, Putin, Netanyahu — I’m so tired of these rich, old, murderous men who cling to power and make the world suffer, desperately trying to escape justice. So damn tired.

A German guard once asked O'Sullivan what was in her suitcase. She laughed. “A wireless, of course!”.

Very early #OnThisDay, 23 Mar 1944 , Maureen 'Paddy' O'Sullivan parachutes into occupied France to be a radio operator for the British Special Operations Executive.

The SOE supported the French Resistance. Radio operators were at the greatest risk of capture as their position could be triangulated. O’Sullivan was never captured.

Münchens erster grüner Oberbürgermeister Dominik Krause - wer ist der Mann?

Little Englanders foaming at the mouth about Islam in Britain, you sound like a 75 year old pished guy in a bowler hat and orange sash ranting in the pub about the looming threat of the papacy.

Ordinary Muslims you'd encounter in the UK are no more sinister and alien than ordinary Catholics. One day a week they maybe (or not) go to a fancy building to talk about God in a way that you don't connect with. Please try to be normal about that rather than let it eat your whole identity.
