When Dolly Parton approached Robert Plant for permission to record her version of “Stairway to Heaven,” she reportedly worried about how he would react. Instead, Plant’s response was wonderfully simple: “Of course you can, you’re Dolly Parton.”

And somehow, that feels like the perfect answer. Dolly didn’t try to copy Led Zeppelin — she took one of rock’s most iconic songs and made it unmistakably her own, adding a touch of country, gospel, and her unmistakable voice.

Sometimes, a legend recognizing another legend is all the permission you need.

Marc Garneau made history as the first Canadian in space and continued to serve Canadians as a Liberal MP for over 14 years.

We are saddened by his passing and extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

Marc Garneau loved this country. He loved who we are and who we can become. He loved this space, too, often writing with his characteristic wit.

The first Canadian in space. A formidable Cabinet Minister. And a good and kind man. Rest in peace, my friend. You made us soar.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

C'est avec beaucoup de tristesse que j'ai appris le décès de Marc Garneau. J'ai rencontré Marc pour la première fois lorsque j'étais à l’école, au début des années 1980. J'étais alors en admiration devant son service et son courage, et j'ai continué à l'être lorsque j'ai eu le privilège de servir à ses côtés au Parlement et au gouvernement.

Tout au long de sa vie, Marc a véritablement incarné et fait rayonner la grandeur du Canada. Mes pensées vont à sa famille et à ses proches.

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

It is with much sadness that I have learned of the passing of Marc Garneau.  I first met Marc as a schoolboy in the early 1980s. I was in awe of his service and his courage then, and continued to be as I had the privilege to serve alongside him in Parliament and in government.  

Marc truly embodied and exemplified Canadian greatness throughout his whole life. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

[Chris Hadfield @Cmdr_Hadfield]

Marc Garneau was my role model, mentor, 30-plus year close friend and a brave and exemplary Canadian for us all. My heart goes out to his family. The world has lost a very good man.

🟥 We’ve known for MANY years that Pierre is UNFIT, and a terrible choice for any type of serious leadership role... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Listen, Canada, despite the $3 Million ‘make-over’ – it’s the same guy! 👀

🔳 RICK MERCER, BACK IN THE DAY: “Because I guarantee you – you get any member of the Conservative caucus alone in a room and you ask them ‘who is the last man on earth who should be put in charge of reforming Democracy?’ and they will tell you, ‘Pierre Poilievre’”

Putin says if NATO allies enter the conflict in Ukraine, it would signal an all-out war. What does he think North Korea joining the war on his side signaled?

@liberal_party Love this!

Talk about a “gotcha” moment 😉

Wow. Holy fuck.

Canadians deserve quality healthcare, no matter where they live.

And we just made a change that will help small and rural communities attract more doctors and nurses.

Here’s how:
