The 50 some odd Leopard 1 tanks that the Trudeau government failed to sell off back in 2018 are now being decommissioned for use as targets at CFB Cold Lake Alberta.

Hey I was close! Pretty good from memory.

I think Russia has like 10-20k tanks between storage and active service. Hence why the A-10 was invented and the US didn't sign the anti-cluster munitions treaty.

It's a Tim Hortons vs Starbucks thing. Coffee wars are brutal in Canada.

Sure.

"At least 125 people died after a soccer match in Indonesia, where police fired tear gas into crowds of rioting fans, causing a stampede, officials said. East Java Vice Governor Emil Dardak told a local news station Sunday that at least 125 died in the incident."

The way it was presented to me was fans invaded the field after the game then police fired tear gas. That is, the gas caused the panic. Three policemen were to stand trial over that.
Of course, different accounts will differ.

TIL, after a not so fun weekend at the hospital with Mrs Mafia and her gallstones on how much it sucks to work in a Hospital. The crazy patients, the asshole family members, puke, blood all over the place, google doctors.

Granted some staff are better than others, and I don't know what battles they are fighting, but man, the things you see and hear.
