@margih99 @KristinRaworth It’s shocking that you would reduce the atrocity of last week to a “both sides” analysis. There was only one side that committed that horror.

@HamblyPeter Well my prediction, given the astute intelligence of the average Cdn voter, that they will have the Liberals no worse than neck and neck going into the next election.

I think overall we'll look back on the Trudeau years as competent government with the NDP, who did their best in a time of rising extremism and despite being stymied by provincial governments.

US Open: As a Canadian fan what a disappointment cheering for our Cdn athletes. Andreescu, withdraws due to injury; Fernandez loses 1st round, Raonic loses 1st round, Auger-Aliassime loses 1st round. Back to the practice court! 😂

Inspiratonal interview on Fox today with Jenna Antonucci, 1st female trainer of a Triple Crown race, the 2023 Belmont Stakes. Yesterday her horse (Arcangelo) won again, the historic Travers Stakes in Saratoga, making Jenna only the 2nd female trainer to train a Travers winner.

@CBCradiotara @JasonGregor Shocking comment. Time for a career change?

[Dave Colburn @davecolb]

@andyserling Watching race 1, Saratoga on the Race Television Network. Why, in the stretch, do they have an oncoming shot of horses???!! Gives no idea of horses distance from each other or movement down the stretch.

#Bianca wins big. For the 1st time Bianca Andreescu advances to the 3rd round of Wimbleton. The former US Open champion was tenacious in overcoming a 5-2 deficit in the 3rd set and winning in a tie breaker. Making Canada proud!

@HamblyPeter Was at the Jays game too & enjoyed the outcome. Re a cashless environment, I am generally opposed to this practice. Does not serve consumers interest. However, with the crowds at major events, it may improve service. Not everyone has a cc!

@DarrynMonaghan @LukaszukAB “promised something” is a myopic, cynical & disrespectful view. Lukaszuk’s longstanding opposition to this gov’t & this leader has been too vocal & visible to be impugned by unfounded accusations of personal gain. How many Conservatives will join him election day?

[Dave Colburn @davecolb]

@BradFree1 Tremendous discussion with the legendary Andy Beyers. Thanks for arranging, Brad. Terrific intelligence & insight on the Derby from two great minds of thoroughbred racing.

@BNPPARIBASOPEN Where can I access cheap BNP Paribas tickets? Can i buy them from other fans approaching the gates?

[Dave Colburn @davecolb]

On the one hand, Danielle Smith!!!! What the…..????
On the other hand, a stark contrast between Danielle’s extremist views & Rachel’s reasoned & moderate views. Can anyone forgive or forget Danielle for deserting her supporters & crossing the floor. A good day for the NDP?

[Dave Colburn @davecolb]

@KevinCTV @davecournoyer In Toronto. Is there a site for real time updates?

[Dave Colburn @davecolb]

@TheMichelleYu What days do you post selections, Michelle? You should be a daily part of Santa Anita handicapping.

The Queen left an estate of $500 million & the monarchy cost Great Britain $102 million pounds last year. This wealth & cost is staggering. Homelessness, poverty and disease are all too common. Is Britain willing to have a serious discussion about the value of the monarchy?

@KimKellyMD @CMA_Docs @AlikaMD Historic moment for CMA & Kim Kelly👍🇨🇦
