Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the Hon. Ken Dryden, a Canadian hockey legend and hall of famer, public servant and inspiration. He was a 6-time Stanley Cup Champion, 5-time Vezina trophy winner, Minister of Social Development, and dedicated Parliamentarian.
Ken Dryden was the reason I became a goalie, although I never mastered his ability to lean on his stick let alone keep the puck out of the net.
His return to university at the height of his playing career taught the importance of balance in life. His post-hockey career demonstrated the value of public service.
Few Canadians have given more, or stood taller, for our country.
Ken Dryden was Big Canada. And he was Best Canada. Rest in peace.
According to @fordnation, Ontario’s economy is the best it’s ever been. That’s what he’d like you to believe.
Let’s look at reality.
Read my op-ed in the @Thetrilliumca on why Ontario can’t afford a premier who’s silent on everything that’s actually within his control.

They didn’t just break the rules—they buried the evidence.
Doug Ford’s Greenbelt grab wasn’t sloppy. It was calculated.
Private emails. Code names. A cover-up at the highest level.
They sold out Ontarians and tried to erase the receipts.

SCOOP: Canada is in advanced talks to participate in the new EU military industry project, highlighting how traditional US allies are teaming up to Trump-proof their military production. The budding deal would see Canada get EU contracts to build in Canadian factories.
I've been trying to get this show done for 20 years. And now we have. English and French on the same show, and not in their two solitudes. Please watch on March 20. And yes, we'll have subtitles of the other #language.
Congratulations @MarkJCarney! 🇨🇦
You are truly the leader we need for this moment. I look forward to working alongside you to set Ontario on the right course and safeguard businesses, workers and families from the impacts of the Trump Trade War.
Elbows up.
Brandon Hagel on #4Nations: "I was thinking to myself laying in bed the night before the (first) game, 'If this is going to be like an all-star type of thing then I'm going to be so out of place because I'm putting my head through a wall tomorrow.' That was my mentality."
Canada. World class in people, technology, trustworthiness, capability and future promise. I am proud to have served in combat, in research and in business, across the land and beyond the sky.
NEW: Prime Minister Trudeau has responded to President Trump tariff threat - “Canada will not let this unjustified decision go unanswered.” Says if tariffs go ahead Canada’s will respond at 12:01 am tomorrow w/ 25% on
$155B of American goods – incl $30B “immediately.” #cdnpoli
This is the kind of thinking that we need. Any Canadian automatically dismissing the world’s 9th largest economy as somehow a permanently incapable and weak country is the product of an enfeebled mind.
Taking ourselves seriously is the first step on the way to be taken seriously
