I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

It's frightening to see how the right wing is gaining ground around the world.
I also see a threat to my country, Germany, from the rise of the right wing.
Democracy means freedom, and there is no substitute for freedom.

Did you know that the first Canadian ‘Thanksgiving’ predates the first American one by 43 years?

Yep, we did it first.

The political right has chosen blatant lying as a political strategy.
"..constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong...With such a people, you can do whatever you want." -Hannah Arendt, (Oct, 1906 - Dec, 1975) German historian and philosopher

Thank you, Mr. PM. You have taken on a huge responsibility when you really didn’t have to, but are so needed. Your calm, level-headed leadership is so appreciated in these times of turmoil. I can sleep at night.

I moved from ‘scary’ to TOTALLY TERRIFIED. Canadians have to sit down and ask: why is PP, who lost the election, lost his own seat, given so much airtime by our ‘cough’ ‘Canadian’ media? I see him more than our PM on the news. Why? WHY??? Bought and paid for by USA companies. F*ck Harper. 😡🤬

I don't think ANYONE has forgotten about climate change. We are on the doorstep of WWIII, and we need to make good decisions that keep money in the country.
Balance is hard to find in the sitution Canada is in! We have a lot of work to do and it ain't gonna be easy

The fact that most of us will not have noticed any real personal impact is demonstrative that postal service is ripe for change.

That may not have been the impact hoped for in the action.

Toronto Star is not in Postmedia - and according to Media Bias is just left of centre with high factual reporting. I get it online. $1 for six months as incentive right now.

I will miss your Toronto Star column. Your column is one of the few that I always read.

Hope you get back your health.
Best wishes.
