I was reminded yesterday of the beauty of #Canadian artist William Kurelek's images, gathered in the book A Northern Nativity. First published in 1976; still gorgeous. #art #nativity

The Platt's Lane underpass in #LdnOnt doesn't have a heritage designation. Maybe it should. #bridges #subways #rail lfpress.com/opinion/colu...

Mathew McCarthy of @therecord.com regularly files amazing photos that enliven the front page. Today's is another beaut. #photography #photojournalism

Fascinating yarn here by @ianausten.bsky.social on the efforts of Benjamin Franklin to bring Canada into America's fold. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/06/w...

A few thoughts about the passing of a #LdnOnt legend. open.substack.com/pub/larrycor...

Life in the path of Lake Huron’s atmospheric lake-effect snow machine can be frustrating at times, but early in the season it offers a snow-globe type of charm. #LdnOnt #snow

There's no time like the coming two weeks to register your thoughts about @lpl.ca 's facilities and priorities. Eighty per cent of the system's facilities are rated as "fair" or worse. #libraries #LdnOnt lfpress.com/opinion/colu...

From today's Seattle Times:

Confirmed: Citytv and Citytv+ will carry Jimmy Kimmel Live! when it’s back on-air tomorrow. Sorry, Hudson and Rex fans.

@wilnerness.bsky.social Do Blue Jays broadcasters travel on the team's plane? Dan, Buck, et al do a good job of creating the impression there's some distance between them and the team's players, managers and execs. But how much separation is there when it comes to meals, lodging, travel, etc.?

Why the City of London needs to take a big weed-whacker to Springbank Park. #LdnOnt lfpress.com/opinion/colu...

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

What will it take to get residents of Leamington, Ontario, to repair and restore the most important piece of public art in town? open.substack.com/pub/larrycor...

Glen hits the mark perfectly here. lfpress.com/opinion/colu...

Not surprising to those of us who work here . We need to get rid of the many layers of managers and executives who don’t provide any patient facing care

Stunning news from The London Free Press about developments at London Health Sciences Centre. #LdnOnt lfpress.com/news/local-n...

Both London Liberal MPs have been given junior roles in the Carney government. Peter Fragiskatos (London Centre) becomes parliamentary secretary to the minister of immigration, refugees and citizenship. Arielle Kayabaga (London West) becomes deputy leader of the government in the House. #LdnOnt

[Column] Loblaw should better enforce its own privacy rules at prescription checkout counters. But the rest of us need to up our game to stem the leakage of personal information that bad actors are only too happy to collect. lfpress.com/opinion/colu... #LdnOnt

Complete federal cabinet list:

London West MP @kayabagaarielle.bsky.social has been left out of Prime Minister Mark Carney's new cabinet. She had been government house leader (though the Commons wasn't sitting) and minister of democratic institutions in Carney's smaller, interim cabinet. #LdnOnt

A showcase featuring the work of 14 budding playwrights at @thegrandlondon.bsky.social last night brought its inaugural Cascade Playwrights Lab to a close, with five-minute scenes read by actors Mark Crawford, Alexandra Kane and Ellen Denny. The Grand plans to expand the program next year. #LdnOnt

There are signs of increasingly belligerent conduct from a fringe group of Canadian Conservatives, frustrated with a losing federal campaign. Voters, Parties, Candidates + Elections Canada need to be alert to disinformation/intimidation/disruption + act immediately to close down illegal activities.

In the Christian tradition, #Easter is a celebration of grace. Grace is also the rarefied quality we need to display right now, as we decide who will govern us and how we'll reconcile our differences for years ahead. lfpress.com/news/nationa...

Interesting article. I knew about Greg Curnoe's 'Map of North America', but not about the subtle message in this painting.

VANCOUVER – The University of British Columbia has briefly reopened admissions for its graduate programs to take applications from U.S. citizens in what is a growing trend for Canadian institutions as the American president denigrates higher learning.

What's in the water at the TVDSB? Student trips to the US should be off the table, period. Once a van or busload of students reaches the US Customs and Immigration, it's on THEIR territory. No "back-up plan" applies. #LdnOnt lfpress.com/news/local-n...

Great summary of Canada’s post-USA potential.

Given Canada's shifting trade alliances, now may be the time to complete our conversion to the metric system, started 50 years ago but never finished. #LdnOnt lfpress.com/opinion/colu...

Dragged this out of the basement. Seems an increasingly quaint notion. Perhaps we can get back there someday. #Canada #USA

Canada should make a crown corporation that provides IT cloud services to Canadians. Enable the pivot away from AWS, Google drive, etc

Good piece in @theglobeandmail.com by #Blyth Festival artistic director Gil Garrett on telling Canadian stories on Canadian stages. "Imagine a year where every play on every Canadian stage was written and performed by Canadian artists." #arts #culture www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/f0cfa6e...
