Christine Sinclair announced her retirement from competitive soccer.
Thank you for everything you've done for the sport, women's sports and how well you have represented all of us on the world stage. Can't imagine you could find anyone who isn't proud of our Canadian captain.
Retired federal judge Thomas Griffith, a conservative, co-authored a report looking into the 2020 election. He says Jan. 6 protestors were duped. “All the evidence points in one direction,” he says. “And that is that President Biden won, and President Trump lost.”
EVOKE-1: a negative trial is a negative trial, especially when the RR is lower in the experimental arm and the PFS curves are overlapping. Not even a toxicity advantage. Tired of exaggerated conclusions. #ASCO24
Exciting news! We have signed an agreement with a development and construction team to finalize the design, schedule and pricing of our new hospital – a state-of-the-art health facility that will be one of the largest and most modern in Canada.
A hearty thank you to all the health workers toiling during the holidays to ensure our hospitals and emergency services are operating 24/7. Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy, healthy 2024.🎁
This should be required viewing for all university students (and professors and administrators) in the US, UK and Canada. Sending it to my own kids now.

This month, we’re supporting Merck Canada in asking all Canadians to help change the odds by getting the early lead on #lungcancer. Visit https://t.co/RKfvMjCpPO to find out more about the campaign and why early detection matters.

At the height of the Cold War, my uncle John F. Kennedy exchanged 26 highly personal letters with the Soviet Premier, Nikita Khrushchev. In his first letter, Krushchev told my uncle that the earth is an ark – we need to preserve it. Through this correspondence, my uncle and Khrushchev realized that they both wanted peace, but that they were surrounded by an intelligence apparatus and by military brass who considered war not only inevitable, but desirable. Sixty years later, my goals are the same. To move beyond simplistic, “us versus them” thinking, to talk to our adversaries, and to preserve this beautiful ark. When America takes the first steps toward peace, we will once again become a true world leader and true moral authority.
