Today, we remember the fourteen young women whose lives were stolen at Polytechnique Montréal 36 years ago.

Their names are a solemn reminder of the devastating toll of gender-based violence — and the responsibility that comes with our remembrance.

Reflections from the Road Gratitude, Community, and Continuing the Fight

Over the past few months, I have had the privilege of traveling across our country to share the story behind 107 Days. Here are a few of my reflections from the road:

Victoria Mboko had one of the most exciting tennis seasons in Canadian history — a WTA 1000 title and a surge into the top 20. 
 
Victoria, your story is an inspiration, and the best chapters are yet to be written.

Together, we'll keep building a stronger, more inclusive country for all.

It’s so good seeing Madeline Stowe in “Welcome to Derry”! It’s been a while since I last saw her in anything. She still looks so beautiful too. 🥰 I just remember watching her in a lot of movies in the ‘90s.

I'm enjoying the fifth & final season of Stranger Things and plan to watch episodes 3 & 4 tonight. I've forgotten some of last season, but it's great to see the talented young actors back, though they can't play teenagers forever. 😄 I'm excited to see them finally defeat Vecna!

On this day in 1983, Michael Jackson released 'Thriller,' a pop masterpiece that changed music, videos, and culture forever. Still unstoppable every time it hits play.

The pros and cons of AI in health care — and why we need safeguards now

While the role of #AI in health care is still evolving, experts agree on one thing: it’s here to stay, and we need to start talking about coherent frameworks for its use sooner than later.

Bus driver and student reconnect as colleagues years later For years, Joy Kenley would open the doors of the Washington, D.C., Metro bus she drove to the rush of federal workers and business professionals. Her passengers, she said, would often shuffle on board silently to begin their days in the nation’s capital.

She was a bus driver who answered questions from a curious 5th grader. A decade later, they reconnected — as colleagues

I watched the Netflix documentary on "Selena." It was beautifully made but heartbreaking, knowing her tragic end. She was reaching her career peak when her life was cut short. I wasn't aware of her or her music until "I Could Fall In Love" was released after her passing.

"they paved paradise and put up a parking lot".

Tracy Chapman’s debut album was recorded in just eight weeks, and its breakout hit "Fast Car" helped her earn three Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist, all within a year of its release.

In v1.110, Bluesky now has a dark-mode app icon — for anyone who thinks light mode should require a content warning.

They haven't filmed it yet. Hopefully will air late 2026 or into 2027 but considering that Netflix aired Doctor Foster season 1 & 2, I'm hoping they'll air this new season too! 🙏

Prime Minister Carney welcomes the King and Queen of Sweden to Parliament in Ottawa, Ontario.

The ties between Canada and Sweden are founded on shared values and decades of cooperation in defence, trade, and investment.

To expand that further, we just launched a new strategic partnership to connect our industries and workers in key sectors like critical minerals, clean energy, and defence.

Pleased to welcome King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia to Ottawa today.
 
There is growing momentum in trade, innovation, defence, and industrial co-operation between Canada and Sweden. We’ll work together to capitalise on those new opportunities for our workers and businesses.

I spoke too soon. 😄 On my Sundays there is a 3rd fantastic show! “Landman” is back with season 2! 👏🏾👏🏾

On Sundays it’s two shows for me, “Talamasca: The Secret Order” and “Welcome to Derry”. Both excellent dramas.

Report: Tim Cook to Step Down as Apple CEO 'as Soon as Next Year' Apple is preparing for Tim Cook to step down as CEO of the company "as soon as next year," according to the Financial Times. The company's board of directors and senior executives "recently intensified preparations for Cook to hand over the reins," the report said. While the report said that Apple is unlikely to name a new CEO before its next earnings report in late January, it went on to explain that an announcement early in the year would allow for a smooth leadership transition, ahead of Apple's annual developers conference WWDC in June and iPhone event in September. No final decisions have been made, and the timing could change, the report said. Cook has been Apple's CEO since August 2011. He turned 65 this year, which is a common age for retirement in the United States, but he has yet to publicly announce any plans to step down. Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, John Ternus, is widely viewed as Cook's most likely successor when the time comes. Ternus joined Apple in 2001. At 50, he is one of Apple's younger senior executives, so he could potentially have a lengthy run as CEO. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman pushed back on the report. "I don't get the sense anything is imminent as the [Financial Times] is claiming," he said, in a post today. In any case, the report said Apple's succession plans are not related to the company's current performance. Apple reported record revenue in the September quarter, and the company expects the current December quarter to be the best quarter in the company's history. In addition, Apple's stock price is near its all-time high.Tags: Financial Times, Tim Cook This article, "Report: Tim Cook to Step Down as Apple CEO 'as Soon as Next Year'" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums

New Town Bakery is a staple of Vancouver’s Chinatown, and for good reason. 
 
This family-run small business has been serving some of the city’s best steamed buns for generations. Thanks to MP Chang and MP Fry for bringing me there this week.

Christmas tunes are already playing non-stop on the radio! 104.3 The Breeze in Vancouver has switched to exclusively holiday music. It might feel premature to some, but I enjoy it, especially while driving home on a gloomy, rainy, and dreary afternoon. 😀
