I was proud to be Canadian on Canada Day last year. But I'm more proud today.

Yes! Just back from a walk for some eggs to a place just like this one.

I wonder if Trump will have the same effect on the Conclave election as he did in Canada and Australia.

Picture of a tweet from California governor and podcaster Gavin Newsome that says:

The Golden State and Canada have always shared so much in common.

Sure, you-know-who is trying to stir things up back in DC, but don't let that ruin your vacation plans.

We're launching a new international campaign to welcome and encourage Canadians to visit the Golden State.

Surely not intentional but Chrystia Freeland did Mark Carney a huge favour by being in this race. It makes his win much more meaningful.

Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

This is what convinced me they’re going to intentionally crash the economy. They said it out loud several times.

The Killing of the Science Centre | The Local The 55-year old museum shuttered without warning one Friday in June. Then devastated staff were given four months to dismantle it. A former employee on the last days of a beloved institution.

So if the Conservatives are going to axe the tax, we probably should remind people that they are also going to cremate the rebate

Hi Brian. My mom lived with ALS for 10 years back in the 80s. You are an inspiration and I am in awe of all you have done. I can't think of a better person to have my first interaction with on Bluesky.
