Entering the Chateau Laurier with its amazing Xmas trees of Hope for the CHEO Foundation is a wonderful treat. The Foundation gala last night, was a tremendous success!

Jammed #Senate committee room last night as Senate Peter Harder outlined his proposed legislation to implement ‘ guardrails’ around overuse of the notwithstanding clause by governments. The constitutional clause was originally meant as a safety valve - not a frequent tool. #cdnpoli #law

Terrific presentation by Rick Westhead, sports broadcaster for @tsnofficial.bsky.social to common law students @uottawa.ca about his new book #WeBreedLions. In light of recent sexual abuse allegations/scandals, questions must be asked about Cdn iconic hockey culture. @hockeycanada.bsky.social

If you have not been to @Grand_Pizzeria at #Westboro beach, make a reservation! It ‘s fun, affordable and the daytime views are spectacular! #ottnews

Really lucked out to meet @petebuttigieg.bsky.social . I think he may have preferred @monafortier because she was not annoying him! Seriously, I was asking if we could get more @democraticparty.bsky.social up here in Canada to speak! @canada2020 #cdnpoli

And now the room is filled, @monafortier.bsky.social kicks of the dinner as we await @petebuttigieg.bsky.social ‘s speech. He already has had a standing O! @canada2020

Room is all decked out and waiting for @petebuttigieg.bsky.social to speak in #Ottawa tonight! #cdnpoli

Great launch for @coteau.bsky.social last night. Impressive crowd . There is some guy speaking who looks a bit familiar! 🤔

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, #ireland. I love you more every time I visit!

The @liberalca.bsky.social is up and running! Very upbeat, happy feeling with loads of Liberals. Very well organized. The night is just beginning!

Come on , Doug Ford. @bonniecrombie.bsky.social told you to rip up the Musk deal and now even @theglobeandmail.com is weighing in. Do it in Washington today.

Beautiful fireworks in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland last night!
Let’s pray for a Happy New Year 🙏🏻

Dublin never fails to look awesome for a green Xmas!

What’s up for #Toronto kids on the holidays? Good news. Harbourfront’s popular rink is back! No skates? No problem. Rentals available. And Kidspark from the Ontario Science Centre is there too. #harbourfrontcentre.com #skate #kidspark #science #STEM

Not sure if @bsky.app is working for local news yet, but for those in @westboro.bsky.social , the sight of this beloved Ottawa heritage house gutted by fire in the night, was shocking to see. The house is a beautiful piece of history in the heart of the neighborhood @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social

No one on the Hill throws a better party than the #Irish. In a place that is not always welcoming, the Irish Ambassador, John Cancannon & co chairs MP Jamie Maloney & Senator Rod Black threw out the welcome mat to partisans of all parties to celebrate the strong friendship between our countries.

Winston Churchill is a gift that keeps on giving. 150 years since his birth, a new book by American author, @JamesBConroy describes Churchill’s role at the Casablanca Conference in 1943. The book is a ‘master class in military strategy and high stakes negotiation ‘ . @charlottegray #books #history
