I met a teacher in Georgetown, Ontario, who asked her students to describe their dreams for Canada. This is what they wrote:

Is this “Canada First,” Pierre?

[Frank Graves @VoiceOfFranky]

I thought this tweet from 2022 was pretty relevant given what is going on in the US right now . "Guardian of Free Speech" . Sounds pretty "gatekeepery"

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

My message to universities:

Protect free speech and academic freedom to keep federal grants.

I will appoint a Free Speech Guardian, a retired judge, to ensure academic freedom is defended.

I got nasty backlash from Conservatives for writing a year ago about Poilievre and his potential use of the notwithstanding clause. Going to put this right back up here today: https://t.co/pARg5Yp4r3 #cdnpoli

The Royal Canadian Mint has released a brilliant new $1 coin to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada! It’s gorgeous! #numismatique

Team Canada, you crushed it, and had us glued to our screens all the way.

Enjoy every moment of the Closing Ceremony — then hurry back home so we can celebrate with you. 🇨🇦

Si les tensions s'aggravent, la situation sur le terrain risque de ne pas nous permettre de vous aider et vous ne pourrez pas partir.

Planifiez en conséquence. (2/2)

Aux citoyens canadiens et aux résidents permanents,

Si vous êtes au 🇨🇦 et que vous envisagez de visiter le Liban, ne le faites pas. Si vous êtes au Liban, rentrez chez vous. (1/2)

[Mélanie Joly @melaniejoly]

To Canadian citizens and permanent residents,

If you’re in 🇨🇦 and thinking about visiting Lebanon— don’t. If you are in Lebanon, come back home.

If tensions escalate, the situation on the ground may not allow us to help you and you won’t be able to leave.

Plan accordingly.

It’s time to change the capital gains tax. Here’s why:

Après beaucoup de travail acharné, le gouvernement canadien a effectivement conclu une entente historique avec le CN pour le rachat du pont de Québec.

Les détails suivront dans les prochains jours, mais cela est une excellente nouvelle pour les gens de Québec.

As someone who knows what it is like to lose your job at CTV, my heart breaks for those who were let go this week by Bell Media. A national news network gutted , local voices silenced. In a democracy we need more competitive journalistic voices not less. Shame on Bell Media .

Vinyl records were once written off as relics. First, they were replaced by shiny compact discs that (supposedly) offered superior sound. Then streaming took over, allowing fans to carry vast music collections with them wherever they go. https://t.co/r8QGrMhXnI
