Today we remember the seven million victims of the #Holodomor — Josef Stalin’s #genocide against the Ukrainian people through artificial famine. May we never forget this Soviet act of Bolshevik imperialism and assault on #HumanRights . Вічная пам‘ять. #Голодомор

Wow. What a tragedy. Can we please find an appropriate balance? Genuine necessary concern vs dangerous alarmism?

Really too bad there’s only one of these. Everyone is so tense because the stakes are so high, that it’s making for very stilted exchange. Why don’t we do six or seven of these, like the elections on Borgen? #Debate2021 #Elxn44

Phenomenal moment - #Pulitzer prize winner ⁦ @anneapplebaum ⁩ in Toronto, presented with a 🇨🇦 flag signed by Canadian soldiers training Ukrainian troops. As we speak. Congratulations, Anne, for your recognition tonight by the Peterson Fund. Thank you for chronicling truth.

Disagree fundamentally. Conservatism ≠ Angry-Jerk-Populism. And the more the latter is mistaken for the former, *that’s* the civic problem. #cdnpoli

It's time we move past the idea that Ukrainian membership in NATO is an act of collective charity. Let's see it for what it is — enlightened self-interest that would benefit all of NATO. 🇨🇦 Read @yaroslavb here:➡️ #NATO #Ukraine #Cdnpoli

This makes me chuckle every time when I’m marking. Or lecturing. They actually call me “professor” — like I’m Dumbledore or something….

80 years ago today, 6,086 brave soldiers — most of them Canadian — stormed these cliffs from the sea, in a heroic effort to pierce the fascist wall that had descended upon Europe. More than half were killed, wounded or captured. May we never forget their sacrifice. #Dieppe

Max, you are disgracing yourself. Suggest you get your news from sources other than Tucker Carlson and RT. You allege Zelensky is peddling “pro-war propaganda”? Really? I ask *you* who launched this invasion, unleashing war crime, rape and murder on a mass scale? #UsefulIdiots

Bans opposition parties and takes over all TV channels… Putin is clearly a despot, but why is pro-war propaganda portraying this comic as a hero and champion of democracy and freedom? Gimme a break. We have no business there.
