82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.

Classic media stuff here. Prior to the 2001 #GreyCup at Olympic Stadium in #Montreal, the legendary Brian Williams of #CBC introduced the seven living men that had called the #CFL championship game. All of them now gone. All of them pillars of the sports broadcasting industry in #Canada. How many do you remember? #TSN #CTV #Leafs #LeafsForever #BlueJays

Great message. Canadians appreciate the service of our CAF members and their families who always put the country first. 🇨🇦

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.

She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.

About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

The Edmund Fitzgerald's story found me as a kid.

That song, that profound loss.

On the 50 year anniversary, Gordon Lightfoot’s The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald still mesmerizes and captures the weight of the tragedy.

On behalf of a proud nation, massive congratulations to Team Canada for an incredible run in the Rugby World Cup 🇨🇦

Last week John Candy opened #TIFF 50. What an honour it is to be able to write that. The entire evening felt like a fitting celebration of hard work and love. Two things John Candy knew quite a bit about.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)
Every single year this ending reduces me to a blubbering mess, and in a few months I'll be here again. Nobody else could've done what John Candy did in this movie. The shot of Del's hands on his hat... that freeze frame ending. Devastating.

[Ryan Reynolds @VancityReynolds]

Love is not a big enough word. John Candy: I Like Me, official trailer.

*Albertans

Alberta doesn't send any money to Ottawa because, again, that's not how it works. And if Alberta wanted to invest in schools, hospitals, and roads, we could use our fiscal capacity to do it (with, say, a sales tax).

[Marc Lévesque @MarcLevesqueEco]

This is a great example of the misinformation that Poilievre spreads, which is one of the main reasons I can’t stomach him. The data he’s quoting are as of December 2024. It even clearly says so in the article. When was Carney elected, again?

He just can't stop making stuff up. The Bank of Canada's three core measures came in at 2.6%, 3.1% and 3.0% in June, from 2.6%, 3.0% and 3.0% in May. There is no jump to 3.4%.
