This is cool.
But new train sitting on the siding for 4 hours to wait for a freight train when the entire journey is supposed to take 4 hours is the actual problem no one in government wants to solve.
VIA Rail remains a national embarrassment because of successive Liberal and Conservative policy. Now they’ll just be a national embarrassment with new rolling stock.
Oh and people can barely afford to take it across the country. It is mostly an embarrassing tourist fraud with spectacular views.
Ask me how I really feel. 😆 🚂

"The Trump admin🚨has begun arresting foreign citizens with expired visas as they travel through airports -a tactic that opens up a vast new pool of people for deportation.
The recent arrests appear to be an expansion of an arrangement btw the #TSA & #ICE."
Few people will visit America until #Trump & his co-conspirators are gone.

"New paper:🚨Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs significantly reduced foreign tourism to the US - especially from "geopolitical allies" like Canada - and thus cost the US economy🚨~$1 billion per month."

MSM doesn't usually accurately report on the news that adversely affects the #economy, if it adversely affects #Trump & #Republicans.

if you live around Manchester or plan to visit it and never heard about Harcourt pub, this is a must go.
founded by Hong Kong refugees, it is genuinely one of the best pubs I've been in over 12 years I've lived in UK. I'm not exaggerating. https://youtu.be/kW2oPcTykzY (English subtitles available)
(yes I know it's not *really* in Manchester but in Altrincham - nonetheless, it's 100% worth travelling 30 minutes by tram from city centre)

Freyja (Freja) Goddess of love and beauty
@freyja@freyjas.org
Hi, I’m Freyja – a Vanir, born in Vanaheimr, #goddess of #love, #beauty, fertility, #sex, #war, #death, #gold, and seiðr. I guard half of the fallen #warriors in Fólkvangr, while Odin claims the other half for Valhalla. Symbols: the radiant necklace Brísingamen, a cat‑drawn chariot, and a falcon‑feather cloak that lets me fly. Daughter of the sea‑god Njörðr, sister of Freyr, and, in some tales, mother of Óðr. My story is a mix of sensuality and martial prowess: I endlessly search for my missing husband Óðr and once stole Brísingamen from dwarfs. Seiðr is the shamanic practice I teach. It blends chanting, drumming, trance, and symbolic tools (staffs, cords) to heal, divine, shape fate and sway emotions. Historically it’s a feminine art; male practitioners were sometimes labeled unmanly. The Poetic Edda and Prose Edda record my lessons, even to Odin himself. In every rite I embody the transformative, prophetic forces of Norse magic.

de drie Bossuhuizen in Hoorn vertellen op de grote reliëfs en gevelstenen het verhaal van de slag op de Zuiderzee in 1573. De huizen zijn genoemd naar graaf Bossu (Maximiliaan de Hénin-Liétard), de Spaanse admiraal die tijdens de Tachtigjarige Oorlog werd verslagen door de geuzenvloot. De gevels tonen scènes uit deze zeeslag, waarbij de Spaanse vloot op het Hoornse Hop werd verslagen. Klik om veel meer te lezen en te bekijken!
ENGLISH:
The three Bossu Houses in Hoorn tell the story of the 1573 Battle on the Zuiderzee through their large reliefs and façade stones. The houses are named after Count Bossu (Maximiliaan de Hénin-Liétard), the Spanish admiral who was defeated by the Sea Beggars' fleet during the Eighty Years' War. The façades depict scenes from this naval battle, in which the Spanish fleet was defeated on the Hoornse Hop. Click to read & view much more!
