Why is it that “Christians” like Clayton Kershaw point to the Old Testament of the Bible to validate their homophobia? The real hero of the story flips the script on its head about 3/4 of the way through! Golden Rule and all that. Mark 12:28-31

I want a Canada -UK trade deal that gets me some John Smith’s on the store shelves!

Thank you, Dr. Tam.

1000% we should seek some sort of enhanced relationship with the EU.

A few weeks ago I attended the B7 Summit in Ottawa. Health security and the role it plays in economic security was one of the topics. One of the speakers made a point that is truly worthy of consideration in single payor systems - how do we shift gov thinking about health from expense to an asset?

Bless you, Brian Wilson. I doubt anyone can listen to “God Only Knows” and not get a little misty-eyed.

Said it before, I’ll say it again, John Roberts should go back to his old job of hosting the Pepsi Power Hour on Much Music.

Peace, Order, and Good Government; the genius of Canada’s Constitutional Monarchy - Canada sure as hell ain’t broken. Every day I see yet another reminder of why those of us lucky enough to call Canada home won the lottery of life.

Who are these clowns on CNN?? Good lord.

Lord knows Germany doesn't have an efficient commuter rail system. Worst in the world! 🙃🫣

I'm from the "realism" school of IR, but this is a little cray.

Baked in store by actual bakers?

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

Well, there are alternatives- 3M makes a tape that lasts years. (Disclaimer - I used to work for 3M)

Don’t say it!!

Let’s go, Tiger-Cats! @cfl.ca kick off today!

Is it really simmering in Quebec, though? They've been pretty Captain Canada lately, thankfully.

There's something to be said for bland and boring politics.

“When a clown moves into a palace he doesn’t become a king, the palace instead becomes a circus.”

Ad Astra, and thank you, Mr Garneau. You gave a generation of Canadians something to believe in.

The Bay didn't die. It was murdered by private equity. jacobin.com/2025/06/huds...

I was part of a team which worked on bringing production to Canada during COVID. One day I’m going to write a book about what worked in our procurement system (people and relationships) and what failed (systems).

It’s that time of year when we find out who is triggered by a colourful rainbow, and who chooses to forget there is a second part to the Bible which teaches things like “do onto others”, “love thy neighbour”, and “judge not lest ye be judged”.

A couple weeks ago, I attended the B7 Summit in Ottawa. There was a panel on health security as economic security. A concept was floated there which I think is critical- the concept of accounting for health spending as an asset, not an expense- an investment in our resilience.

I remember when Adam Vaughan used to argue against entertainment complexes being developed in Toronto. How times change.

Rainy day here in Beamsville. He’s a robin in the rain @raffic.bsky.social

An excellent Speech from the Throne delivered by the King of Canada.

A great day shaping up in Canada, and in Ottawa. Our Crown, our Sovereign, our King in action. #never51

Welcome home, King Charles III - King of Canada.

Canada's Head of State, Canada's Sovereign, Canada's King.

Aujourd’hui, nous avons l’honneur d’accueillir au Canada Leurs Majestés le roi Charles III et la reine Camilla. La visite royale rappelle le lien qui unit le Canada et la Couronne, un lien forgé au fil des générations. Ma déclaration : www.pm.gc.ca/fr/nouvelles... Photo : Millie Pilkington

Not going to happen this year for my @NFFC - Nottingham Forest. However, what a season! Going from fighting relegation last season to challenging for the Champions League this year. Fantastic! Hoping for good things come August.

Nottingham Forest will play one of their biggest matches in years on Sunday. (their biggest game in years was the match which won them promotion to the Premiership). A win against Chelsea will put them in Europa with a shot at Champions League. Come On You Reds!!

Years ago, when I was a staffer at QP, certain young staffers would look at the colour of the stripe on your badge before even saying "Good morning" (including members of my own party). We need to move past that to a recognition that most people are there to do good.

72% may seem like a lot, but it's really quite low if you consider the counterpoint suggested here is that nearly 30% of Americans are in favour of unchecked power... King George III would be pleased.

Love ya, Norm!

Is there a Sopwith Camel flying over Ottawa today?

Nottingham Forest drops 2 points and Champion’s League slips further away. However - Forest will be playing European football next year!!!
