Why isn't this being reported, the man who wants to be our PM, he's taking questions from an organization that has this on their website right now. Canadians should be seething and the mainstream media reporting on it? This is madness, "Stand with Trump" he talks to, CBC is disinformation. #cdnpoli

Great quotes here from a Canadian official — viewing the provincial premiers as rubes who went to DC, learned it’s not actually that easy dealing with Trump, paid $85,000 for a meeting with senior-mid-level staff, got publicly ridiculed after by that Trump staff ici.radio-canada.ca/nouvelle/214...

Old City Hall shouldn’t be abandoned. With thousands of artifacts that tell our city’s stories hidden away in warehouses, it’s time to share them with the public, and for this historic building to finally become the Museum of Toronto. www.thestar.com/opinion/star...
