Today, I remember Corporal Nathan Cirillo, of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada, who was standing guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, victim of a shooting at Canada's Parliament Hill in Ottawa in 2014. #LestWeForget

So much for Memorial Day USA. Not if You're African American who died in the War, apparently. Disgusting. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

And he wonders why there was a blue tsunami two days ago. Or maybe it's punishing the American electorate, which of course will goad them into making sure he's not on the next ballot either.

Conservative Leader too negative (I'll say!) D'Entremont said there are other Conservative MPs who "are in the same boat" and they may join him in crossing over to Liberals. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

A tremendous World Series decided by the slimmest of margins. Not at all sure the better team won, but that’s baseball. The Blue Jays were fierce, and I’m a bit heartbroken for all the Jays fans in my feed and orbit — Toronto folks have been supportive and awesome to me going back over a decade.

Doug Ford's proposed Bill 60 - he wanted to take away tenants' rights. Of course he did. That's what the Conservative government does. The people pushed back. We're safe. For now. Thanks to Councillor Josh Matlow who organized petitions & did much of the heavy lifting.

The Leica camera (not interested in the watch) -- back in the day a professional photographer worth his salt always carried one. I knew one; he was one of the most talented photographers around, he slept with his Leica under his pillow. If you wanted to steal it, you'd have to get past him first...

On the Halifax, Nova Scotia, 🇨🇦 boardwalk, actually. We have the best sense of humour. It's the best medicine.🤣

Buy a toque, give a toque 🇨🇦 It would mean the world to me if you could buy a torque to help those in need. My brother died homeless, on the streets of toronto, and this small gesture would help make a difference. Thanks ❤️ www.toquesfromtheheart.ca

Blue Jays advance to World Series #TorontoBlueJays On Saturday, as I was washing the dishes in my Toronto kitchen, this flashed through my mind: "3-1 Blue Jays, this is a random number". Forget the score, the message is Blue Jays win. I wrote it down and kept quiet. 😁

That's the Canadian Embassy to the left. Solidarity!

Nixon put the brakes on Vietnam peace for election advantage. Reagan put the brakes on the release of US hostages in Iran for election advantage. Trump put the brakes on the release of Israeli hostages from Hamas for election advantage. I'm seeing a pattern here.

Happy Thanks Giving and Go Jays Go!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Toronto Blue Jays 💞 win the series. Game 1 of the ALCS is in Toronto on Sunday.

🇨🇦 One of countless reason Canada would never, ever be part of the US.

Beware the fake photos. This is a photo of the 🇨🇦 Toronto Police HQ on College St across from the building where I used to work for Maclean Hunter, and those are Toronto cops. As for the donuts, they look like bagels.

The great Elayne Boosler is in the house. A favourite comedian and also animal rescue 😍💞

Watching the inevitable critics of Carney's performance with Trump today, I am reminded of the two bits of advice I used to give clients: Don't antagonize people who can inflict serious harm on you. Don't start fights with crazy people. There are other routes to success than confrontation. #cdnpoli

Stop bashing 🇨🇦 PM Carney because he won't start a war with the demented guy in the White House. The PM is being diplomatic and handling him with kid gloves because the madman could make matters far worse for Canada on a whim. If anyone doesn't understand that, I'm glad they're not in government.

Don't know what people are going through...

This very brave reporter risked his sanity for us. Thank you, Mark.
