Respect to our fellow panellist @CamHolmstrom on @CFRAOttawa's Political Heat for making what was clearly not an easy decision to end his federal NDP membership. That kind of reflection shows integrity. @KatlynHarrison @radioKristy

Suffering Team Canada hockey withdrawal? I have an off season show idea. Canada’s baby, Macklin hasn’t had time to get his drivers licence. Canada’s hockey heros prep him for the test - talk hockey, and other lessons while driving around their hometowns….

No heat today on Political Heat on @CFRAOttawa- we were all in agreement on NATO alliance and trade diversification. Some spice is fun, but these are serious times.

A top Christmas errand is dropping off all my suits at the cleaners and saying I don’t need them until after New Year.

The workers at Ironworkers Local 725 in Calgary are some of the hard-working Canadians exposed to tariffs.

We’re stepping up to protect their careers — making it easier to buy and build with Canadian steel, moving away from relying on imported steel, and investing in retraining and supports.

In the lead-up to the US's military parade on the 14th - the Stryker tanks that will be on show are produced by General Dynamics Land Systems-Canada (GDLS-C) for the United States Army in a plant in London, Ontario.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

We will invest in new submarines, aircraft, ships, armed vehicles, artillery, radar, and drones — equipment that for too long, Canada has let age and deteriorate.

And we’ll rebuild with Canadian steel, Canadian aluminum, and Canadian workers.

New Bravo series IRL. What does going nuclear look like between Trump and Elon?

[Cormac Mac Sweeney @cmaconthehill]

At Rideau Hall for today’s cabinet swearing in. Less than 30 full Ministers, up to 10 Secretaries of State, and 50% new faces to cabinet #cdnpoli

The new pope appears to not have tweeted in 2024, returning only to pray for Pope Francis's health and criticize JD Vance

The G7 Summit will be held in Kananaskis, Alberta, from June 15 -17. Prior to letting Trump come to one of the most beautiful parts of Canada, we should say the point of entry is a manufacturing border town for him to get the trade relationship he says he doesn't need.

[Lindsay Maskell @LindsayMaskell]

Such a tragic heartbreaking event.

[Cormac Mac Sweeney @cmaconthehill]

Conservatives added a stop w Filipino community in Mississauga

[Lindsay Maskell @LindsayMaskell]

Nothing makes me happier than talking about record voter turnout on @CFRAOttawa on Political Heat. That's a win for democracy. Every ballot cast is a voice heard, and that is what strength looks like. We show up. #Elections2025

[Lindsay Maskell @LindsayMaskell]

This is a wild story but shows no one knows who decides or how info flows from this administration.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

What an absolute joke: Trump officials claimed the letter sent to Harvard with a list of demands was a "mistake" and had been sent without authorization.

And because Harvard defended themselves, the White House announced they were freezing funding and Trump threatened to remove their tax-exempt status anyway.

What a shit show.

Chinese purchases of American oil are down -90% Y/Y, while Chinese purchases of Canadian oil are up +700% Y/Y.

That’s a $20B annual loss for the United States at $60/barrel.
