Trump on Meet the Press : “I didn't guarantee no war."

Play the tape:

Possibly the first news blooper of the century.
This was a live just after midnight 25 years ago… Jan 1, 2000.
I’d just proposed to my girlfriend about 2 minutes earlier.

Hard to beat a citizenship ceremony on Canada Day! So many happy faces of people who fought hard to become Canadian.

Rien de mieux qu’une cérémonie de citoyenneté le jour de la Fête du Canada, surtout pour ces gens qui ont travaillé très fort pour leur citoyenneté canadienne!

Officially opened Montreal’s Jazz Fest this evening with mayor Valerie Plante. Kept the speech short so people could go listen to the music but happy Canada could contribute to this huge event that brings in so many tourists and happiness to Montrealers. #cdnpoli

Big tech would rather spend money changing their platforms to block news from Canadians instead of paying a small share of the billions they make in advertising dollars.

Canadians won’t be bullied. Big tech isn’t bigger than Canada.

There are decent conservative Members of Parliament and I’m glad they refused to applaud their leader as he grinned like a macaque while fuelling conspiracy theories in his well rehearsed toxic Twitter troll style. This is despicable. #cdnpoli

The regiment I served in for 4 years, the Canadian Grenadier Guards, was almost wiped out at Vimy. Pierre Poilievre, a man who has not served, seeks to weaponize those deaths against the Prime Minister because he doesn’t like the new passport. What a classless disgrace. #cdnpoli

[Michael Armstrong @ArmstrongGN]

Classic…

[Marc Miller ᐅᑭᒫᐃᐧᐅᓃᐸᐄᐧᐤᐃᔨᐣ Mikotsikaa @MarcMillerVM]

This is an obscene but predictable position for Mr. Poilievre to take, especially since he encouraged the so-called Freedom Convoy. Canadians won’t be fooled by this latest unserious display. #cdnpoli

Ignore the title for a second—there’s no easy job in politics—but if you’re interested in how this country moves forward in addressing some very difficult issues, including our relationship with Indigenous Peoples, give this podcast a listen. #cdnpoli

Chills. This is a hockey team from Ukraine taking the ice in Canada.
They're 12-yr-old kids, but they've turned this into the biggest day in the 63 year history of Quebec City's PeeWee hockey tournament. The premier told poeple to show support.
18 259... A full house.

Je suis dans le train Mtl-Qc de 16h40 (il est 18h08) toujours à la gare. Le système d’aiguillage est en panne à cause du froid. J’ai l’impression d’être dans Snowpiercer mais qui roule pas…

It is nothing short of appalling that Mr. Poilievre would choose to associate himself with an organization like this, particularly after a day like today. He has obviously not learned from the mistakes in the past he has made regarding Residential Schools.

The most exciting goal of the last quarter century for the @CanadiensMTL .
@PKSubban1 vs Boston in 2014.
I was sitting when Eller picked up the puck.
I was standing when the puck went in.

PK pulled people out of their seats... literally. https://t.co/qUFO0af4yC

The horrific discoveries in Winnipeg show that more action is needed from all levels of government to address violence against Indigenous Women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people. I look forward to discussing with all partners how we can end this crisis at the FPTI meeting in January.

There will be a special flag front and center at today’s national Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa. It’s a red ensign that dates back to just after Manitoba became a province, but before British Columbia. Here’s its story.
