Anti-Trump American Pope. The orange fellon will be pissed 😂

Industrial fishing has caused immense damage to ocean life, but given the right protection, the sea has miraculous powers of recovery.

The first American Pope, Pope Leo XIV, is Robert Prevost from Chicago, and gets emotional on the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican.

Robert Francis Prevost, who was elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church today and took the name Pope Leo XIV, is the first pope from the United States. A member of the Order of St. Augustine, he resembles the late Pope Francis in his commitment to the poor and migrants.

According to the 2024 Ipsos World Affairs Report, Canada is the most positively viewed global leader, 79% of people across 30 countries believe we’re a force for good. Stability, respect, kindness. That’s the reputation on the line every time we vote. Leading ahead of Germany and France.

BREAKING: Mark Carney to Trump: “Canada won’t be for sale EVER!”

President Trump, "We don't do much business with Canada" PM Mark Carney, "Canada is the largest client of the United States" Trump fact-checked in real time. #cdnpoli

This is just soooooo good "I spoke with the Owners"....that's us folks and we sure as "H" are not for sale. Bravo that we were smart enough to elect Mark Carney / @mark-carney.bsky.social #CanadaStrong 🇨🇦 #Never51 #elbowsup 🍁

"Canada will have a partnership on our terms, not on the US's terms - Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli

Carney tells Trump Canada is not for sale. Live updates here. “Never say never,” said the president. “Never, never, never, never, never,” Carney appeared to mouth, later laughing. It’s not clear if the president noticed. 🤣💪 #Canada www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...

“In Carney we now have the world leader who knows more than any of his peers about climate change. And who knows roughly 20x as much about climate and energy economics as anyone else in power. He may turn out to be a truly crucial figure in the fight to turn the climate tide.” @nationalobserver.com
