. Power & Politics heck of a line from David: “Rome elects a Caesar and we’re just watching from the suburbs”

Worth a watch today:

Thinking about Grampa & Uncle Arnie today. Remembrance Day does not glorify war. It honours courage, service, and sacrifice. It reminds us to live lives of integrity for those whose lives were cut short. #LestWeForget

"Even if we wanted to forget the two World Wars... we would still feel them. They would be there in the gaps in family trees that expand down the generations....A loss that great reverberates through time." Worth a read today Howard Anglin The Hub thehub.ca/2024/11/11/how…

Didn’t have an interview with Prince Harry on my #GreyCup2024 bingo card but there you go! Go Toronto Argonauts !!!!!

If you’re interested in Canadian history, this is for you!

This article in The Hub from J.D.M. Stewart is worth a read today.... we can always learn from history, and Trudeau's departure is certainly not a surprise when we look at the departures of past PMs.

"You don't win a hockey game by only playing defence." A great article from the Rt. Hon. Jean Chretien in today's The Globe and Mail - Chretien was PM throughout my childhood, and as a result he holds a unique place in my PM list. I admire his leadership. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Wow. Mark Carney, possible new Liberal Leader & Prime Minister here in Canada, was on @thedailyshow with Jon Stewart tonight. And he did a very good job I think. He came across as both smart/experienced AND engaging with a sense of humour. Interesting. youtube.com/watch?v=zs8St-…

A good read today. This quote stands out: "Anything is possible as long as nobody cares who gets the credit." It would be smart for Trudeau to recall parliament, and smart for all opposition leaders to work together first before a non-confidence vote. thehub.ca/2025/02/05/ric…

Scroll down to read my thoughts on what is missing from the US-Canada discourse .... "best friends forever?" No political relationship is inevitable. Thanks to The Hub for the space to write!

Good debate between Pierre Poilievre & Mark Carney 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Chantal Hebert is a national treasure.

🇨🇦 The King and Queen will visit Canada from Monday 26th to Tuesday 27th May. Their Majesties will attend The State Opening of the Parliament of Canada in Ottawa. 🇨🇦 Le Roi et la Reine effectueront une visite au Canada le lundi 26 et le mardi 27 mai. Le Roi et la Reine

One of the most famous front pages in Canadian newspaper history. VE Day 1945. Eighty years ago today.

I don’t know why I continue to trust TTC Service Alerts - waiting 30 minutes for a bus at davisville today is not good service!

A hugely important piece here by Charlotte Gray about the state of our history and our access to it Library and Archives Canada. This is the time for a new champion of Canadian history to get access to our past and tell all of our stories. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl…

Don’t love the booing of Mark Carney at the CFL Grey Cup - not a good look for Canadians. The guy doesn’t have to be there; especially with the budget vote tomorrow. Let’s be kinder to each other.

From me and Andrew Parkes - Canada must leverage its uranium. We’ve don’t before we can do it again.
