Always nice to see the 🇺🇸 lose at the World Juniors.

Sweden is going to be the team to beat this year.

On Dec. 31, 1857, Queen Victoria made a decision that had a lasting impact on our history.
She decided that Ottawa was to be the new capital of the Province of Canada.
How did this small community, best-known as a lumber town, become the capital?
This is the story.

Stepped out a few minutes ago to check the mailbox. I knew it was cold out, but that wind is horrible. #ottawa

That’s great news! 👍
We’re starting this season with a BANG! 💥

The Rideau Canal Skateway opens tomorrow, Wednesday December 31, at 8 am!

We’re in the home stretch of preparations to open a 3.4 km section between Somerset West and the Bank Street bridge. The Bank Street stairs will not be open for now.

On this day in 1941, Yousuf Karsh took The Roaring Lion portrait of Churchill in the Speaker's Chamber of the House of Commons. He captured the stern look by taking the cigar out of Churchill's mouth right before taking the photo. The portrait is now on the British £5 banknote.

Just under 8mm of ice reported at the airport. We were lucky -it could have been much worse. Ottawa may sneak above 0°, but barely, and it will be brief, as cold air rushes back into the region later this pm w/flurries. The wind will pick up. W 50-70 just after dark. #ONStorm

Over the last week my wife has made chicken stew, pulled pork sandwiches, a turkey dinner with all the trimings and tonight a beef barley soup.

Yes, I am spoiled. 😋

Two days ago I could see spots of grass on my front lawn. After the last two days of snow, not so much anymore. ❄️

Thousands of members of the Canadian Armed Forces are spending Christmas away from home – standing on guard for our freedoms, and those of our allies.

In this increasingly dangerous and divided world, we are ever more grateful for your service and sacrifice. Merry Christmas.
