Fantastic night for the NATO Association of Canada. Defence and security issues mixed with Bay St. as 4 honorees, Blake Goldring AGF, Blake Hutcheson, OMERs, Lt.Gen.Frances Allen and Rose Patten @BMO, all moderated perfectly by the one and only @murraybrewster.bsky.social

Hello, Toronto and Ottawa! « Changing a city is complicated, because even the most progressive people don’t want change ». The former Mayor of Paris has managed to ´pedestrianize’ significant parts of Paris.

“No Kings” protest in Toronto today at 11am on 361 University Avenue outside the US Consulate. #Canada #Toronto #NoKings

19-year-old charged in Barrhaven crossing guard death also facing separate impaired driving charges

A legal dispute between a contractor and Sam Mraiche, the Edmonton multimillionaire at the centre of a scandal involving Alberta’s ruling UCP, has stopped work on a provincially funded addiction recovery centre and is threatening a work stoppage at a second. @charlesrusnell.bsky.social reports.

Excellent statement by @PM re: the English only statement of remorse on the death of two pilots. @aircanada.bsky.social ( one of whom had a French name). CEO deserves to be hauled in by @officiallanguages.bsky.social. And the PM is right. Where was the Board in this awful tragedy? #governance

“The Air Canada Express CRJ-900 from Montreal collided with a fire truck at the airport's Runway 4 during landing, according to local reports. Several people were injured, including five firefighters, with multiple believed to be in a critical condition, and possible fatalities reported.”

Wishing a very popular television journalist and an extremely competent and courageous host all the very best. Feel the strength of your legions of fans! We are with you. @davidwcochrane.bsky.social

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

No matter what anyone thinks of Don Cherry, elected politicians should not lobby for an individual to be honoured with the Order of Canada. It politicizes what is designed as a non partisan process. #cdnpoli

Really pleased to meet Dr.Danielle Martin at a Toronto dinner last evening. She is definitely working hard to secure the University Rosedale by election for @liberca.bsky.social . There were some other Liberal warhorses in attendance as well! #cdnpoli

Could not agree more with @daveeby.bsky.social concerning a ‘duty to report’ when social media companies notice threatening or violent messages in their platforms. It won’t be easy to define the evidentiary requirements, but we must try. Tumbler Ridge can never happen again.

Toronto’s health index is 8 today! You can see the pollution line in the distance. I am on the 48th floor in a Board meeting. Yuck.

Interesting article. Watch for new book by Jocelyn Bourgon, A Public Servant’s Voice. www.hilltimes.com/story/2026/0...

Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning “AI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said “there are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one

We weren’t sure what would happen immediately following Khomeini’s death. Now, we know. Let’s hope this won’t last too long…

The first innocent victims? Young girls. Nothing more to be said.

Can Bill Clinton dodge one more career bullet today? Hilary seemed to shrug off her grilling yesterday but she had never used Epstein’s plane nor were there any photos. Bill Clinton is smart and shrewd but once again, his reputation is on the line.

To be given a huge majority which then rapidly begins to unravel with questions of dodgy leadership, is brutal. Starmer is on borrowed time.

A Green victory in this constituency would be very big news. www.bbc.com/news/live/cp...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

With aid budgets shrinking and wealthy philanthropists on bad behaviour, what is the world to do? Gates-Epstein ties expose philanthropy’s ‘hypocrisy,’ experts say www.devex.com/news/gates-e...

How can the fifth year of this terrible war on Ukraine be starting? Over 70,000 Ukrainian deaths. Upwards of 260 000 Russian deaths.. Will Putin ever come to his senses? Or be forced to face reality? www.bbc.com/news/live/cr...

Canadians are just waking up to…GOLD!

Thank you to both of you. Anne, your witness of what happened 50 years is so valuable today.

“There are people in positions of great power in the #U.S. government engaged in #evil #conspiracies against everything that is good and decent … But there are no evil masterminds behind this. Only amoral, stupid #grifters like #HowardLutnick” open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Absolutely the right thing to do at this point.

Cda 5-0 over Cze. 2nd period. Women’s Hockey. Olympics 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Extraordinary statement by King Charles. He will cooperate fully with Thames Valley police should he be approached about his brother, Andrew’s,conduct.

In all the Starmer/Olympic/Bad Bunny news stories, the first female PM in Japan yesterday won a resounding majority. Congrats to Sanae Takaichi. Another glass ceiling well and truly shattered!

What a way to send a powerful message of inclusion, kindness and love. Bad Bunny and his guests deliver the most joyous and fun SuperBowl half time show ever! 10/10.

Mc Sweeney has resigned. Will this be enough to stop the Starmer bleeding? Feb 26th is an important by election. How will Labour do? Tick, tock.

"The world heard JD Vance being booed at the Olympics. Except for viewers in the US. The modern Olympics sell themselves on a simple premise: the whole world, watching the same moment, at the same time. On Fri night in Milan, that illusion fractured in real time." www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/f...

Guts and raw courage were just not enough for Lyndsey Vonn. www.cnn.com/2026/02/08/s...

This awful tragedy gets sadder and sadder. Who would be so cruel as to abduct an 84 year old women who by all accounts is adored by her community and loved by her family?

About time somebody asked tough questions of Danielle Smith. On y va, Stéphane!

The roar that was heard around the world! 🇨🇦

JD Vance was just ruthlessly booed at the Olympics during the Opening Ceremony when he was shown on the screen. But you would never know by watching the broadcast on NBC.

Delivering his second superb speech in 48 hours, this time to his Cabinet and Canadians @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social speaks about ingrained Canadian values of social spending, climate change and diversity. Bravo! #cdnpoli

And now he goes after Carney ( along with everyone else) . Clearly , the PM’s speech has rankled Trump.

If I was supposed to be in the Davis audience, I would have to leave. Trump says the U.S, never got anything out of NATO. Oh really - how about after 9/11?

Trump just told Davos: "after the war we gave Greenland back to Denmark." America never had Greenland. It was governed — and defended — by the Danes and Greenlanders throughout WWII. www.bugeyedandshameless.com/p/read-the-d...

Exactly said. ‘Ego politics’, not ‘geo politics’ says @rahmemanuel.bsky.social about Trump. @cnn #cdnpoli

If you did not watch the powerful speech from @markcarneyforpm.bsky.social to the @weforum.org live, watch it later. He first speaks to the world and then he gives a brilliant commercial for Canada. “Principled but pragmatic”. #cdnpoli

What an unbelievable story. How could a young man just disappear from the Mt.Tremblant ski resort? It’s been a year now. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Carney’s deal on China with canola in particular, and EVs is fair and balanced. Not easy to walk a fine line with China at the same time as balancing Ford’s demands with Moe’s. Everyone has to compromise a little. Story of Canada’s life now. #onpoli #skpoli

It’s funny how Wikipedia used to seem relatively unreliable, because it was written by regular people instead of encyclopedia experts, and now it seems relatively reliable, because it’s written by regular people instead of glib CliffsNotes robots
