Nothing warms our Canadian hearts more than watching Vladimir Guerrero Jr sing along to the national anthem of the greatest country on earth, the country of his birth, and still the True North strong and free! Go Blue Jays! 🇨🇦

I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits.
As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador.
He married my wife and I.
He is the pope's right hand.

Meet the Jesuit Cardinal Behind Pope Leo’s Social Justice Revolution

From drafting Leo's first apostolic exhortation to championing migrants and the planet, Cardinal Michael Czerny is shaping the moral heart of this papacy.

I agree that the impact would be high. However, nothing's been signed, and Carney does care about the environment. He has a plan that will work for Canadians. Waiting for more details and any finalization paperwork.

"The more I think about Mark Carney’s Oval Office performance, the more impressed I am. No. It wasn’t capitulation. It was statecraft."

Marie 🇨🇦 @pawbaby2.bsky.social · 3d

Dean Blundell nails it: PM Carney didn’t go to D.C. to trend, he went to trade blows and gain leverage. He praised, corrected, joked, and swallowed hard when it mattered. Bottom line: he walked out ahead.
