So excited to see this wonderful concert planned for Jan 28-31 2027 by @Tafelmusik & Principal Guest Director & Principal Soloist @RachPodger. But I pray the natural trumpet parts are played by trumpets, not french horns 🙏😊 Perhaps David Blackadder & friend?

[Bruce Anderson @bruceanderson]

Such a great read. So clearly lays out the chaos and self harm of Trump policy making.

Sorry that the US Embassy which includes many knowledgeable people about Canadian politics would have to watch this foolish take be posted.

[Keith Martin MD @keithmartinmd]

Excellent points @jkenney . To our American friends, the US has a trade deficit with Canada because we sell our oil and gas to you at a steep 30% discount. This gives you cheap power. If we did not sell this to you, the US would have a trade surplus with Canada. Cc @FoxNews

"One intelligence officer in the Baltics, who works closely with the Americans ... told me that, though you’d never know it from Trump’s rhetoric, the CIA’s operations are now “much more aggressive” than they were during the Biden administration".

Canadian golf writer Lorne Rubenstein has championed Royal Dornoch for decades. Now, he’s sharing the story of the club and town on the TalkinGolf History podcast.

Reflecting on his first visit in 1977 and his much-loved book A Season in Dornoch, Lorne sums it up perfectly:
“Dornoch is my spiritual home of golf.”

I agree emphatically with @WSJ on a Trump-Xi-Putin alliance: “A new triumvirate that divided the world into spheres of influence would blow up America’s global credibility as a reliable ally.” https://t.co/b1wnZV5Hfx
