This year marks 150 years of the Supreme Court of Canada helping to shape this country, standing in ardent defence of Canadian democracy and in defence of our freedoms.
May its work continue so that 150 years from now, Canada remains the true North, strong, and free. #cdnpoli

There is a storm of race hatred brewing online.
Blaming refugees. Blaming hard working immigrants.
Don't fall for this kind of shit.
I think of the Syrian families who built the north with passion, hard work.
If your relative spreads hate shit tell them to knock it off.

In this editorial, the @ptboexaminer.bsky.social cites a lot of reasons why we're back to "normal", but fails to mention the elephant in the room. Michelle Ferreri, and her ludicrous, constant spate of hate and division, is no longer our MP, for 6 months now. That's had some impact.

It's also been 4 years since an MP representing #Ptbo attended an event marking the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. Thank you @emmaharrisonptbo.bsky.social !

I did Gr 13 in Ont, my kids did CEGEP (Gr 12 & 13) in Quebec, latter so focused on students' strengths/interests/growing autonomy. So beneficial!

How did you manage that? Still trying to figure it out!

This essay will knock your socks off. It will take you exactly what the author addresses in a post-literate civilization: time, thought, absorption, reflection.

In the eighteenth century the rise of literacy precipitated the greatest transfer of knowledge into the hands of ordinary men and women in history and helped to destroy the old feudal order in Europe.

As literacy recedes a neo-feudal future looms.

I hope that means he's not stopping here!
And...your reporting is as it is, not as he wants it to be. Keep up the great work Sebastian!

Pierre Poilievre cancelled a planned phone interview with The Examiner Sunday between planned stops in Oshawa and Peterborough because of a "schedule change" immediately after learning I'd be the one at doing it. Anyone know what this means?

The concepts and language here....way out of my league, but I can imagine the interest other economy leaders are having with this big picture description of what he sees as the next evolution. Note how many international orgs he mentions in this collaborative vision. 2/2

Cdn Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social is hitting it out of the park on the world stage. It is hard to fathom the global
economic shift he's leading, with leaders listening, on our behalf. He is so ready. Much respect to him and Diana Fox Carney for their representation of us at the UN. 1/2

Federal Conservatives are bellyaching about the lack of housing starts. In Ontario, look to the Provincial Conservatives for the shrinking sector problems! Oh, and a bit of a grift going on. Shocker.

PC housing failure is also a jobs-killer, but criticism is muted.
Ontario's residential construction sector is small and getting smaller, but sector unions appear reluctant to publicly raise concerns as the Ford government weaponizes a key grant program. #cdnpoli

Just returned from 2 weeks in #Scotland. What a beautiful country! We covered about 1800 kms, all the way up to Isle of Skye through the Highlands and Inner Hebrides. Edinburgh too is wonderful.

That's what they said about the Big Owe in Montreal, 30 year debt

Quebec's Big Owe stadium debt is over | CBC News
Montreal's Olympic Stadium needs a new nickname — the Big Owe no longer applies because Quebecers have finally paid off their $1.5-billion debt from the 1976 Games.

Not so fast, press release yesterday. AI + Ferreri + dark data, Conservative-only clients, proprietary platform that will never show how it comes up with client strategies.

It was his wife's 60th birthday on race day, and they both ran the 26k together, with Diana Fox Carney reaching the finish line a few minutes behind her husband. Amazing!! Congratulations to both of them!
