It's not enough to remember. If we don't apply the lessons of our grandparents to today's emerging realities, we doom our children to live through the same horrors as they did. https://t.co/eVj0oYCONK

iran war the biggest foreign policy mistake of trump’s presidency.

but nothing close to putin’s decision to invade ukraine. that’s a failure of truly epic proportions.

increasingly worries me, given that putin is not given to admitting mistakes.

I do believe I have landed on the perfect solution to let @GRRMspeaking get the long-awaited Winds of Winter to market quickly...

He just needs to write this.

[Craig Carter-Edwards @OpenCCE]

And by “arguing with each other” he means the democratic accountability our system is designed for, including the MPPs we voted for.

School boards. Cities. Freedom Of Information. Mandate letters.

He’s the most transparent Premier ever folks. Just take his word for it.

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

"No one can question my work ethic" said Premier Doug Ford, as his government begins an extended 5-month summer break.

Ford argues his schedule is jam-packed over the coming months: "we're going full steam, rather than sitting here arguing with each other." Watch:

When the person you are praising for energy and acuity has fallen asleep while you are speaking, it's hard to determine whose credibility you are tanking more.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Dr Oz on Trump's fourth medical examination since he took office: "That amount of energy and mental acuity does not exist in a vacuum. You have to have a vessel to carry it, and the president has a unique ability to just keep going at all hours of the day and with remarkable strength"

The top two accounts I follow for meaningful geopolitical insight - @ianbremmer and @AndrewChangCBC (I'd have put Andrew first, but he's Canadian, and we aren't comfortable with that).

[Craig Carter-Edwards @OpenCCE]

@Timodc See, this is all about promoting the winningest in our society, because clearly, they know what they are doing.

(that's "see", as in with your eyes, not to be confused with "sea" which is wet and "c" which is the number of a question on the cognitive exam Trump totally aced.

[Craig Carter-Edwards @OpenCCE]

Less an indictment of @realdonaldtrump, I would argue, and more a commentary on the "winning" culture we have established.

Fake it until you make it.

But when it's all about LOOKING great, the looking part becomes the centre of attention.

Which explains where we are a LOT.

In Trump’s defense, it must suck to realize you are the tail, not the dog. https://t.co/oVKFZzS2QB

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

[Craig Carter-Edwards @OpenCCE]

Well played.

Hassett: "People are spending more on gas, but they're also spending more on everything else -- not just groceries, but restaurants and so on. I think that's a sign you see when people are optimistic about the future."

[Tina Yazdani @TinaYazdani]

Thousands of protesters accused the Ford government of privatizing public hospitals at a rally at Queen’s Park on Thursday.

Given the government’s significant investments in private clinics, I ask the health minister if Ontario is now operating a two-tier health-care system:

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

expected outcome of us/iran agreement:

1) strait opens and blockade dropped immediately.

2) ceasefire extended for 60-days

3) qatar transfers $6 billion of iranian assets to iran, the united states says it has nothing to do with that transfer (call it a coincidence)

4) us and iran continue (restart) negotiating nuclear issues, probably keep extending the deadline with little progress

5) no meaningful expansion of abraham accords

@MikeSchreiner Some supposed populists have reflecting pools… Doug Ford has these.
