A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

Holy hell, what an obituary

Now they're lighting Adrienne Arsenault on fire? #CBCNYE is unhinged this year.

Really enjoying Adrienne Arsenault and Jann Arden hosting the #CBCNYE show with their Newfoundland Slush. They're having a great time! #NewYearsEve

Huge congrats to Jacob Tierney for the great success of Heated Rivalry! I love that people around the world are getting introduced to hockey, Canadian Indie music, and gay romance all at the same time! #heatedrivalry

Let me tell you a story. Perhaps you can guess where this is going... though it does have a bit of a twist. I was poking around Google Scholar for publications about the relationship between chatbots and wellness. Oh how useful: a systematic literature review! Let's dig into the findings. 🧵

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment. She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud. About always believing something wonderful is about to happen. My tribute to Colleen: www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

I have a very bad feeling about this...

On this day in 2014, Corporal Nathan Cirillo, a member of the Ceremonial Guard, was fatally shot at the National War Memorial. The shooter ran inside the Parliament Buildings and was shot by RCMP officers and died on scene. Three others were injured in the attack.

Did you know Canadian short track speed skaters have won 37 Olympic medals — second only the long track speed skaters who have won 42. A wildly successful program that intends on breaking record haul of six medals at one Games in Milano in February. Journey starts here tomorrow.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Here's a ray of sunshine in a very dark world Germany has already exceeded its goal of shutting down 8 GW of coal plants - 3 years earlier than expected Amazing what a little sun and wind can do 😎 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

Black hair has always been underrepresented in games, but we want to change that 🙌 So this week we added 20 new black and textured hairstyles into Loftia! We hand-sculpted each one and built a custom shader to add depth and softness. Quite proud of how they turned out ☺️💛

Summer McIntosh has won the 400m freestyle gold. And made it look easy. She looked so in control from start to finish. Jumped out of the pool and is now preparing for the 200m IM. She’s the best swimmer on the planet right now folks. And she’s from Canada.

On this day in 1921, Dr. Frederick Banting and Charles Best successfully isolated the hormone insulin. They accomplished this at the University of Toronto. On Jan 11, 1922, 14-year-old Leonard Thompson became the first person to receive an insulin injection for diabetes.

We didn’t know how good we had it with Stephen Colbert @colbertlateshow.bsky.social Oh no, wait, we totally did.

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.

We haven't done a full check, but we might have captured the oldest puffin on Machias Seal Island. While the longevity record for Atlantic Puffin is 45 years (from Iceland), the North American record is 33 years. Last night we captured a bird banded as a chick in 1992, making it 33!🧪🪶

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Gritty's a librarian now thx. #ALAAC25

After years of seeing the faded plastic band on this puffin and being unable to re-sight it, we finally re-captured it and replaced its bands. This bird was first banded as chick in 1996 making it 29 years old (!) and among the oldest in our records. 🦑🪶🧪

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

I told you we’d be back

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Kevin Cheveldayoff indicating he had a long meeting with Nikolaj Ehlers agent this week when he was in Winnipeg. Says they’ll be making a pitch for him to be a “Jet for life”. More to come on illegalcurve.com

The pain was evident as Josh Morrissey limped into the #NHLJets dressing room Tuesday. It had nothing to do with his own injuries — and everything to do with his best pal, Mark Scheifele. “Just a devastating day.” On friends, family and grief. My story: www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

I'm told the #NHLJets are chartering several players and staff to Kitchener later this week so that they can attend Brad Scheifele's funeral. This is the sort of thing that the Winnipeg Jets always get right.

“Hats off to him. Courageous young man.” Mark Scheifele is not alone. From kind words to charitable donations, the #NHLJets centre is getting support from the hockey world and beyond after a devastating personal loss. My story: www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

Adam Lowry and Neal Pionk have much in common. They’re both good hockey players — and good humans — who have planted deep roots in Winnipeg. My look at the personal side of the story behind the #NHLJets dramatic double-overtime dagger. www.winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews...

Go Jets Go!! What a game! Perfetti with the game-tying goal. Pionk and Lowry with the winner. #NHLJets

WIN-NIPEG. Cole Perfetti sends the game to OT. Adam Lowry seals the deal in double OT. The Jets will face the Stars in the second round.

Captain Adam Lowry is the double overtime hero. Incredible, absolutely epic comeback. #NHLJets -- who were quite literally seconds away from elimination -- will face Dallas in Round 2.

WIN-NIPEG JETS HAVE DONE IT EXTRAORDINARY COMEBACK The Winnipeg Jets stun the Blue with two late goes and then a double overtime winner to advance to the second round.
