In response to rapidly spreading wildfires in northwestern Ontario, the federal government has accepted a Request for Federal Assistance from the province.
We’ve deployed Canadian Armed Forces aircraft and personnel to support emergency airlift evacuations around Sandy Lake First Nation.
To everyone who’s been impacted by these fires:we’re here for you. We’re prepared to mobilize every resource needed to keep Canadians safe.
California Governor Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to his state following peaceful demonstrations.
Trump sent them anyway. It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice.
Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe.
His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump.

I think it’s often those in Europe who have been most pro-American that are now reacting most strongly to what Trump is doing. Huge sense of betrayal and disgust

“40 of 44 cabinet officials who worked for Donald Trump are warning that he’s a threat to the republic. Take that seriously. Take that real seriously,” warns @JohnAvlon, who’s hoping to win over enough independents and Republicans to flip NY’s first congressional district blue.
Let’s set the record straight: Trump is not a “successful businessman.” He is, objectively, a business failure.
He says he'll run the country like he ran his businesses. But here's the thing — he ran his businesses into the ground.
“In this country, we have no ‘other people.’ We are American people, all of is.”
This 1940s film warning against bigotry and fascism is more relevant now than ever.

Johnnie Walker hosts his final show today on @BBCRadio2. I used to listen to listen to his Radio 1 lunchtime show in the 1970s. A brilliant dj.
Love this quote from the Late Madeleine Albright, former USA Secretary of State: “I Am an Optimist Who Worries a Lot”
Thanks @markpeterlee for the reference.
Let’s have a proper conversation about assisted dying argues @CamCavendish in @FT
I realise this is an issue on which people have deep feelings but I endorse these arguments. I believe it should be a personal choice if you are in gr8 pain https://t.co/nqGkSid2gD
Very much support Alison Taylor’s point now that need to move beyond idea that businesses alone can solve global problems. Biz needs to be clearer about what needs from governments and Civil Society, in order to optimise its own contributions.
“In some ways, the story of rise of #ESG / #Sustainability is story of rise of social media which has forced businesses to interact with many more people.” -Alison Taylor on @IBEUK webinar now
“You can look like a hypocrite if you haven’t got internal alignment between functions such as Ethical & Compliance, Legal, HR, Comms, Sustainability, Strategy & so on.” Agree!
