This is terrible news. PBS offered modest sets, smart news readers, and coverage that was evenhanded and sensible. To say nothing of children’s broadcasting (especially Sesame Street). An own goal by the American political class.

PSA: For anyone looking to learn more about politics, or for teaching folks still tweaking their syllabus for the semester -- Good Authority's "Good to Know" is probably the best explainer series in town.

I have a new essay in Foreign Affairs: no democracy has ever eased widespread immigration concerns without being very selective about whom it admits. To move forward on the issue, governments on the left and right should make better policies whose benefits to voters are clear.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Hon. Ken Dryden, a Canadian hockey legend and hall of famer, public servant and inspiration. He was a 6-time Stanley Cup Champion, 5-time Vezina trophy winner, Minister of Social Development, and dedicated Parliamentarian. Ken

My latest article for The Hockey News was written with a heavy heart, rest in peace Mr. Dryden: thehockeynews.com/nhl/montreal-c… #GoHabsGo #CH #Canadiens #Habs #THN

Ken Dryden has died at 78. In September 2022, he joined Melnick in the Afternoon to look back at the 1972 Summit Series. Listen: iheart.com/podcast/962-me…

Ken Dryden was a role model, demonstrating one could combine a love for sports and academia. I rooted for him as a young Habs fan, admired his accomplishments after retiring, and enjoyed his books (marvelling at his productivity). His memory will be a blessing to so many of us.

A bookish McGill law student who led hockey’s most fabled team to the Stanley Cup when he wasn’t busy writing exams. It sounds too crazy to be true - but it actually happened. Ken Dryden, LLB’73, LLD’18. What an incredible life RIP

I always looked up to Ken Dryden. He revolutionized the position & rose to the occasion in big moments. Beyond his greatness on the ice, he was a remarkable person, and the hockey community will miss him dearly. My condolences to the Dryden family. Photo by my dad, Denis Brodeur

Heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend Ken Dryden. He was so much more than a hockey legend, lawyer, professor, public servant. He was a devoted family man, who was passionate about ideas and always pushed for better for Canadians and athletes. cbc.ca/sports/hockey/…

I had a conversation with a colleague today at Cornell about Ken Dryden. He's a legend here. Arguably the greatest Big Red athlete of all time. But it seemed otherwise impossible for me to describe to an American what Ken Dryden's standing was in Canada.

Ground has shifted, but there's still consensus on limiting temporary migration, encouraging economic immigration, and supporting a multicultural vision of Canada. The CPC will tread lightly to avoid alienating new Canadian voters. We've been here before (80s, early 90s).

Pierre Poilievre affirme maintenant que Justin Trudeau devrait être envoyé en prison. Ça vous rappelle quelque chose ? C’est exactement le même refrain populiste que celui de Donald Trump contre Hillary Clinton : « Lock her up ». C’est une rhétorique dangereuse qui ronge la
