I know it feels like the world is spiralling and out of control. But at this very moment children are laughing and playing, two people are falling in love, someone is helping a person in need, a scientist is discovering a new solution to Alzheimer’s,

Overheard: Pete Hegseth, “this actually is my first rodeo’”

The grief Mueller’s family is going through must be immense. Parkinson’s is a cruel disease and I’m sure it made his days so much more difficult. He served his country in many ways, over decades, and demonstrated a courage very few can or will ever show.

Lessons from the Strait. Wars are easy to start. Allies are hard to rebuild once you’ve burned them with tariffs, threats and disrespect. And no, you can’t demand loyalty from people you said you didn’t need. That’s not a military lesson. That’s just common sense.

Dear Team 🇨🇦. You played with everything you had. We love you,appreciate you and feel for you. Thx for a great game and for being stand up players who fist bump kids and always leave it all on the ice. Dear world. Thx for cheering with us. From Australia to Norway to Japan we felt the love. ❤️ 🇨🇦

“But there was no need to be ashamed of tears, for tears bore witness that a man had the greatest of courage, the courage to suffer.” — Viktor E. Frankl

The border isn’t the only line Kevin is willing to cross. ❤️🇨🇦

After reading that six page letter I’m not sure who’s more upset at the global and Canadian respect that PM Carney is getting. Him or that guy to the South. ❤️🇨🇦

Standing with you Minnesota. ❤️🇨🇦

It wasn’t just a speech. It was a declaration of strength and vision for Canada and a signal for the power of collaboration, integrity and courage to the world. ❤️🇨🇦

Social media should have a day where we don’t repost, amplify or respond in any way to his or his admins content. Sure the extremes will still do it but imagine if the silent majority did just that and stayed silent on him for a full day. He’d lose his mind. Oh wait …..

How may people googled the definition of hegemon today?

Just listened to PM Carney at Davos. Intelligent. Decisive. Practical. Brave. Clear-eyed. A world leader in every sense of the meaning. ❤️🇨🇦

The pot is about to boil over. America please stop the insanity before it’s far too late. ❤️🇨🇦

Just watched Goodbye June and had the cry I always need to have. I love crying. I used to be embarrassed and ashamed when I cried. I felt it made me look weak and vulnerable. But now? Now I embrace it and recognize it as exactly the gift it is. My deepest emotions breaking free, allowing me to feel

The rage online is big. It needs to now demonstrate itself in the real world and turn into mass protests, impeachments, trials and leaders of character need to stand up to repair the country. Then and only then will America heal. Until then it’s just online rage.

It’s hard not to be disillusioned and deeply disappointed in some people, who were my business hero’s, who have just accepted that what’s happening down south is ok because it’s supposedly good for the economy.

@Cher is my hero.

Just had a convo with someone and I said “that’s the $64,000 question”. And they said don’t you mean the million dollar question and I suddenly feel very old.

I’ve been in boardrooms for 3 decades and can absolutely promise you it’s not women who are ruining the workplace. Not our vices. Not our voices. Not our views. And not our feminism. @nytimes

What do we need? What do we want for ourselves? Food. A home. Clean water. Love. A good, fair-paying job. Equal opportunity. Accessible health care. Free education. Reliable transportation. Community.

Canadian falls are the best. I love the crisp air, the crunchy apples, the colourful leaves, the root vegetables, the starry evening skies and wearing cozy sweaters! ❤️🇨🇦

What are we now - in grade 2? Putting tariffs on Canada to retaliate against an ad is so childish. Is there a corner he can go stand in while he thinks about his behaviour? Signed moms everywhere.

The Conservative Party has lost its way. It needs to stop mimicking the exact same US narratives and stop creating fear and using exaggeration to make a case for being in power. This is Canada. We are smarter and not easily fooled and we have the benefit of seeing what’s happening to the south.

Honestly is there any better feeling than coming home at the end of a day or evening out, taking off your shoes, work or dressy clothes, bra, removing your makeup, all of your jewellery, tying your hair up and putting on comfy sweat pants and a sweatshirt? I think not.

This is your daily reminder that climate change is real, Tylenol is safe, God doesn’t love Christian Americans more than anyone else and science deals in facts not falsehoods. ✌🏻

Turns out “happily ever after” at Disney really means “until the market opens”.

I just picked up a photo in a frame and tried to zoom in on it using my fingers.

True faith isn’t about excusing hate, bigotry, or misogyny. Defending that behaviour just because someone shares your religion isn’t faith it’s hypocrisy. A bad person can hide behind any faith, and a kind person can live without one. Faith doesn’t excuse cruelty, & decency doesn’t depend on belief.

Solo travel tip; you don’t miss out by doing things on yoir own. You miss out by not doing them.

Hint: if you want a Nobel Peace Prize don’t proudly create a Department of War.

Imagine time travelling to a measles epidemic in the 1800’s and telling people that one day, thru the miracle of science and medicine, there’d be a vaccine to prevent it. And that by the year 2000 it would be declared eradicated!

In case you think they’re going to wake up. They’re not.

Children around the world have become the greatest victims of intense greed and power lust Their health. Their safety. Their families. Their food. Their shelter. Their lives. Their ability to enjoy childhood. From Gaza to Washington.

Star date: August 2, 2025. The sun rose this morning over Canada. The people yawned, had their morning coffee, read their social feeds, scratched their heads and carried on. ❤️🇨🇦

There are two things making this moment possible. First, a narcissistic bully who thrives on power, greed, and control. Second, a chorus of enablers so desperate to stay close to him, and feed off him, that they’ll echo whatever he says, no matter how untrue or dangerous.

I believe there’s been 60 trade-related announcements from the US (including letters, tariffs, orders, etc.) since January. (Give or take a few 🤷🏻‍♀️) As of right now 6 of them are actually in effect.

Nincompoop. Look it up. A word worth having in your vocabulary.

In a world of chaos be a Canada.

Hold onto your real history books America. Guard them for the precious words and lessons they are. You’re seriously going to need them as the truth gets rewritten and the facts conveniently lost.

Very proud to be advising and investing in Gander a 🇨🇦 social media platform designed by, for and with Canadians! 🇨🇦. I’m joining a great team including @ambermac and other Canadian tech & biz leaders. Here’s the story in the Globe & Mail! Go Canada Go! 🇨🇦❤️ www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

No man who fuels division in his own country can ever be trusted as a world peacemaker.

All you need to do is put him in a beautiful country he wants but can’t have, not let him control the room, and poof he vanishes. It’s Canadian magic.
