Canada has done the same thing in moments of national crisis. During the Second World War, Ottawa created an entire Department of National War Services whose job was to organize civilian participation in the national effort. That is the part of the historical analogy I think the government is missing.

Had an inspiring meeting today that left me thinking all day...

The Carney government has a significant blind spot.

Canada’s charitable and nonprofit sector is enormous. It contributes more than $216 billion in economic activity, equivalent to about 8% of GDP, and employs roughly one in ten Canadian workers. It operates in virtually every community in the country. Yet when Ottawa talks about nation-building, the sector is almost entirely absent from the conversation.

You can't build a stronger country with steel, concrete, foreign investment, and faster procurement alone.

You also need people to feel connected to the project, to feel that they have a role in it, and to believe that building a stronger Canada means something in their own community and their own life.

The PM alluded to the agency Canadians have in his speech two Saturdays ago, but didn't mention this part of society that's proven to be essential in the past.

New era in Toronto: Maple Leafs do not announce dollar value of Raddysh's extension, as they had in the past.

His reported $8.5 million AAV makes him the team's highest-paid defenceman.

Only Auston Matthews and William Nylander will earn more.

. @airfrance I’ve been on hold three times now for over 7 hours. Simply trying to change a flight that your website says is unable to change online. This is unacceptable. The text “bot” has had me in the queue for 3 days. Not impressed at all and need to change.

[David Vandenberg @burlingtondavid]

Hey @BlueJays fans. I wanted to share this cool piece of Jays History. My Uncle was a huge Jays fan and before he passed away he gave me this super cool @CocaCola 24 pack of unopened 92’ World Series Cans. They’re FULL. Do I own a super rare piece of Jays history?! #iwantitall

Even though the @BlueJays aren’t under the MLSE banner (still @Rogers), @TorontoFC and BMO field should broadcast the Jays playoff games for $10 a ticket and sell that place out. Make a killing on concessions and merch + get the #wanitall vibes across the downtown. Thoughts?
