Short Stack Fella 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Another story impossible to imagine in any other administration: the president's son goes hunting with a Russian criminal who is part of Putin's security entourage

The Secretary of Agriculture is too busy bribing voters with Russian diesel & cash for MAGA votes to protect American farmers from a potential pandemic, economic disaster, food insecurity/famine, & critical threat to national security. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-party-...

About this H5N1 mink farm in Utah. It is REALLY dangerous to let bird flu spread unchecked through mammals, esp minks. They have similar susceptibility & respiratory physiology as us. Flu can adapt to human hosts by adapting to mink respiratory tracts. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/the-party-...

Russia is not winning

A fake Toronto Sun site falsely claimed President Zelenskyy bought a $42M Nova Scotia bunker. We tracked 2,259 related X posts and 7.76M recorded views. The hoax echoes Russian tactics, but its operators remain unknown. disinfowatch.org/fake-toronto...

#Ontario - Flu and COVID-19 immunizations are now available to the general public: news.ontario.ca/en/release/1...

Starting today, October 26, COVID-19 and flu vaccines are available to everyone aged six months and older. Vaccination is the most effective way to reduce the risk of severe illness, complications and hospitalization from respiratory viruses.

Here’s something you should know about minks: They have lungs and airways remarkably similar on a cellular level to those of people. They’ve spread flus and infected humans before with COVID-19. Right now, bird flu is spreading on a Utah farm filled with thousands of them… 🧵

He is not a russian asset. He is a russian ally. It's different And for you westerners, worse.

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

“it is almost certain that China is doing the same with russian data (…) (…) in the earliest stage of negotiations between russia and China about military and intelligence support for the invasion, China will have raised the issue of data sharing.” www.newscientist.com/article/2587...

It’s 2026. If you’re a CEO who doesn’t understand that dealing with the Trumpkins means dealing with the russian terrorist state, your stock deserves to be shorted because you’re as smart and well-informed as a bag of hockey pucks.

A recent post by a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.

Good morning to readers; Kyiv remains in Ukrainian hands. The AfD’s election win reflects growing support for far-right politics in Germany. Axel Reitz, a former German neo-Nazi, explains how the far-right attracts new followers — and how to counter its influence.

I remembered to make my #FiverFriday donation yesterday but I forgot to post it here! This week I sent some fivers to the K-2 drone unit through the UNITED24 app. #NAFO #Ukraine #russiaIsATerroristState

In June, I visited Ottawa’s water treatment plant. Our guide told us that 25 years ago the city assumed that a second plant would soon be needed to fulfill the city’s water needs. Instead, responsible water conservation by homeowners has been so significant that the 2nd plant was never needed.

Trump's peace envoy praised Putin as a "humanitarian." Putin has killed more people on this planet than anyone else this century (Syria, Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, Africa) and Steve Witkoff worships and admires him.

We are NAFO! 😎 Which battalion do you represent? 👇

If you haven’t listened to last week’s Mildly Alarmed episode yet, it’s very well worth your while ! @lapatina.bsky.social @kaeggen.bsky.social and @frhoffmann.bsky.social discuss how it impacts Ukraine if the US is withholding information and challenges in Kyiv winter prep.

Putin better make room on his shelf for a FIFA Peace Prize...

AKA JD Dumbass!

Just in today’s news JD Vance was shown to be a spreader of Russian propaganda, argued in favor of a child-rape political ad, and was dissed by his hometown football team.

A close family member of mine went through this same harrowing experience 2 years ago. Like the author of this article, they were also in their 30s. Their lung capacity is still heavily compromised today. Please get your flu shot (and COVID shot, too). www.voicesforvaccines.org/influenza-pu...

But that logic, this guy must love the thugs in Iran! They released a bunch of American hostages in 1981!

Flu activity is rising earlier than usual in Ottawa. In her recent CBC interview, your Associate Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Laura Bourns talks about individuals who are at greater risk this season of respiratory illness related complications and why vaccination remains important.

Yesterday, Donald Trump held the most pro Russian, pro Kremlin, Oval Office press conference in the history of the United States.. Vote blue in midterms and help combat this betrayal by donating to Ukraine in this fundraiser for frontline troops.. @69thsb.bsky.social www.help99.co/patches/bost...

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*

If you are in the US, tell your reps in DC to support Ukraine. It only takes a few minutes and it doesn't cost any money. We don't need money in politics. We just need people to participate. Support 100% Democracy on my website: www.nationalfinancialplan.com

It's also worth stating Ukraine officials won't say it, but they're furious with Rubio and Greece. Negotiations had been taking place with Athens about air defence support and Kyiv was hopeful. Then Rubio visited Athens. Now Greece is outright refusing to send PAC-3 missiles.

I'd like to remind Trump administration that after Iran war started, Ukraine deployed experts and technology to the Middle East to help Gulf states defend themselves against Iranian drones and protect US bases in the region, while Russia provided targeting information to Iran.

It is so important that European leaders acknowledge the truth as Kaja Kallas does here. Trump and the USG have been trying to force Ukraine to surrender for almost two years. There has been no recent pivot to Russia. It’s been a constant US policy www.euronews.com/2026/10/20/k...

We are reminding residents to get vaccinated against flu, COVID-19 and RSV this fall. Please read the PSA here: https://ottawa.ca/en/city-hall/city-news/newsroom/ottawa-public-health-reminds-residents-get-vaccinated-against-flu-covid-19-and-rsv-fall

Tomorrow, I’ll be hosting a livestream with @jenrubin.bsky.social to talk about how Trump is rewarding Russia and punishing Ukraine, and why that betrayal will cost lives. We’re going live at 3 pm EST. Hope you’ll tune in and subscribe so you don’t miss it: open.substack.com/live-stream/...

Despite the Trump administration's best efforts, Alberta votes not to break up Canada

Day 1700 of my 3 day war. Donald is my last hope. I remain a master strategist.

I do think it’s significantly more difficult to communicate that vaccines can prevent or reduce the risk of chronic illnesses as well as infectious disease, so I’ll just say this: I was 31 years old when I was diagnosed with a cancer (cervical) that can now be prevented with a vaccine (HPV).
