Mitt Romney to Harvard Business School graduates: "There's more to a country than its economy. To be a great nation, it must also be a good nation. The world needs good men. It needs good women. Good leaders. Good parents raising good children. There is no national success that could compensate for failure to be a good and noble people."

The groom surprised his bride with the most heartfelt wedding gift of all 🥺💖
He invited her students with Down syndrome to bring the wedding rings, creating a moment no one will ever forget.
For the record, @TerryGlavin and the @nationalpost wrote this article four years ago.
Their initial 2021 reporting also contained caveats that excavations would be needed for conclusive proof.
It took four years and the courage by outlets like the NP to get to this point.
@integrity_to Karen Stintz. The same goof that blew $4500 of Toronto tax dollars for voice lessons to not sound as 'shrill'.
Those lessons aren't working. She has that Marit Stiles 'jackhammer' nagging voice.
@jkbjournalist Guess you don't like I watching TV shows movies, documentaries etc. to me it's the reason why I have a TV and watch it... they're talking heads, people who are so called investigative reporters etc is not something that I find valuable ❗
Two young 🇨🇦 men with the last name Fox went to high school 24kms apart just outside of Vancouver, BC in the mid 1970s. Both young men would inspire the world and combine to fundraise over $3 billion for Cancer and Parkinson’s research. Two amazing Canadians, Terry Fox and Michael J Fox. 🇨🇦❤️
Command Post in Earl Bales Park again today. According to Environment Canada, Last Friday night at 11:30 pm, temperatures in Toronto were between 10–12°C. Wilderness and Emergency medicine experts consider prolonged exposure at those temperatures concerning.
Police say Esther, 14, was last seen running through Earl Bales Park wearing track pants, a sweater and no shoes. Her parents lost sight of her while chasing after her and she was reported missing.
Police also confirmed a sighting at 12:01 a.m. Saturday near Bathurst south of Hwy. 401 more than 2 km away in roughly 30 minutes, barefoot.
Yesterday, police confirmed Esther is on the autism spectrum. Her parents said they initially chose not to disclose that information to protect her privacy, but decided to speak publicly about her diagnosis now because of the growing concern over how long she has been missing.
They didn’t want to discuss what lead up to them having to chase her through the park.
😂 This is comedy gold — but it’s also brutally accurate.
“OHHH CANADA” just dropped a 22-minute parody of Mark Carney’s pre-budget address… and it’s savage.
Carney stands at the podium, completely unable to get to a single point. His own aides are frantically:
•Smacking him on the back like an old Nintendo cartridge
•Blowing on him to “reset”
•Shining flashlights in his eyes
•And yes… a bird literally starts nesting in his hair while he stalls
Meanwhile the CBC anchors are desperately killing time with small talk about their kids and the weather.
This is what happens when the hype meets reality.
After all the throne photos and cult-like praise, the man who was sold as Canada’s brilliant saviour can’t even string together a coherent budget point without a pit crew.
Pure gold. Pure embarrassment.

The Ontario Red Ensign is a literal spite flag adopted out of anger at Pearson's red maple leaf flag. It prioritizes British colonial ties over the diversity of our province. It's a joke!

The fact that parents hid information about their daughter, from the get-go I couldn't understand why any 14-year-old would be out at 11:30 p.m., without shoes or a phone.
I completely respect and appreciate Esther’s family wanting to protect her medical privacy. That is every parent’s right, and I say this with genuine empathy for what they are going through right now.
But learning tonight that Esther is autistic and considered vulnerable fundamentally changes the level of concern surrounding this disappearance.
A 14-year-old girl missing for nearly a week, reportedly without shoes, in light clothing, with no phone and no money, should have had the entire city on heightened alert from the very beginning.
Police rely heavily on the public as extra eyes and ears. Context matters in missing person investigations. Unfortunately, when people hear “missing teenager,” some may wrongly assume the child simply ran away and will eventually return home. But knowing Esther is on the autism spectrum underscores just how vulnerable she may be and why this situation is so urgent.
As a former investigator, I understand and respect the family’s wishes regarding privacy. But personally, I would have strongly encouraged that this information be released earlier because Esther’s safety has to be the overriding priority right now.
My hope is that with this additional information now public, more people across Toronto will keep Esther at the forefront of their minds, stay alert, and help bring this young girl home safely.

Pope Leo XIV may have just fulfilled a 100-year-old prophecy.
And almost nobody is connecting the dots.
To understand why this matters, you have to go back to October 13, 1884.
After celebrating Mass that morning, Pope Leo XIII suddenly collapsed at the foot of the altar. His face turned ashen white. For about ten minutes, he stood frozen in what witnesses described as a trance.
When he finally came to, he revealed what he had seen.
A vision of Satan, boasting before the throne of God:
“I can destroy your Church.”
And the Lord replied:
“You have the time. You have the power. Do with them what you will.”
Most accounts say Satan was granted somewhere between 75 and 100 years.
Leo XIII walked straight from the chapel to his office and composed the Prayer to St. Michael — and ordered it prayed at the end of every Low Mass throughout the world.
He knew what was coming.
Now look at the last hundred years.
Two world wars. Mass apostasy.
The collapse of the family. Catholic divorce rates matching the secular world. Liturgical abuse. Scandal at every level of the hierarchy. Atheistic communism sweeping nations.
Exactly what Satan had threatened.
But here’s where it gets interesting.
Exactly 33 years to the day after Leo XIII’s vision — October 13, 1917 — roughly 70,000 people gathered in a field in Fatima, Portugal, and witnessed the Miracle of the Sun.
Our Lady had appeared to three shepherd children months earlier. She warned that Russia would spread her errors throughout the world.
She told them the final battle between Christ and Satan would be over marriage and the family.
Russia became the first nation to legalize ab*rtion. The first to legalize no-fault divorce. The birthplace of modern atheism and communism.
She was right about everything.
But she also made a promise:
“In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.”
Now watch the dates closer:
→ October 13, 1884 — Leo XIII’s vision
→ May 13, 1917 — Our Lady appears at Fatima
→ October 13, 1917 — the Miracle of the Sun
→ May 13, 1981 — an assassin shoots John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square. He survives, the bullets narrowly missing his vital organs, and credits Our Lady of Fatima with saving his life.
→ March 25, 1984 — John Paul II consecrates the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
And now, in our own time:
On May 8, 2025, a new Pope steps onto the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica.
He chooses the name Leo XIV — explicitly stating he chose it in part to honor Leo XIII.
The same Pope who started this whole story.
Five days later, on May 13, 2025 — the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima — the world reflects on his election as the bookend to a century-long battle.
The bookend has arrived. And the data is staggering.
In 2025, nearly 160,000 adults entered the Catholic Church in the United States — the highest level in twenty years. By 2026, the average U.S. diocese reported a 38% increase in converts over the previous year.
Los Angeles received 8,598 people into the Church.
The Archdiocese of Paris welcomed its largest group of converts ever.
France’s adult baptisms have tripled in a decade.
England. Norway.
Australia. Belgium. Ireland.
Everywhere, the same story.
The 100 years are closing. The triumph is beginning. And you are alive to see it.
Our Lady didn’t perform the greatest public miracle since the parting of the Red Sea for nothing. She came with two requests:
1. Pray the Rosary daily.
2. Pray St Michael's Prayer often.
That’s it. That’s how you join the winning side of the greatest spiritual victory in centuries.
50 to 100 years from now, I believe most of the first world will be Catholic again.
The question isn’t whether the triumph is coming.
The question is whether you’ll be one of the souls who helped bring it about — or one who watched from the sidelines.
