#OTD in 2025, Marc Garneau, the first Canadian in space and later a Justin Trudeau-era cabinet minister, passed away at the age of 76. I spoke to him about his memoir, A Most Extraordinary Ride, in 2024. #NewsRadioBookshelf #canpoli @CityNewsVAN https://t.co/VVdesDl4VU

I’m not anti-American, but I’m definitely pro-Sciutto here. @jimsciutto

@JJ_McCullough Something like it has worked in the past. Bill Bennett famously professionalized the BC Social Credit party using elements of the “Big Blue Machine” employed by then-Ontario Premier Bill Davis. But a leadership convention is a much different animal than a general election.

@Steven_Hyden It’s patriotic. Just not in the way he would like.

#OTD in 2024, I spoke with former CIBC World Markets chief economist turned bestselling author Jeff Rubin about his book, A Map of the New Normal: How Inflation, War, and Sanctions Will Change Your World Forever. #NewsRadioBookshelf @CityNewsVAN https://t.co/nlJLTvttsZ

[John Ackermann 📻 @jackermann]

@BenMullin @nytimes @grynbaum I can’t wait for the big screen version. I hope Michael Mann is available. https://t.co/QGnkKU8Dvd

Another one crossed off the concert bucket list: @theblackkeys! And on my birthday too!

@76ed76er @davidclowery I would say he was more of a hard rocker in those days than anyone on the first and third nights.

[John Ackermann 📻 @jackermann]

@rodmickleburgh Caucus management and maintaining the center-right coalition will be challenges for her. It will be interesting to see how long Peter Milobar sticks around now that KLF is in the big chair.

[John Ackermann 📻 @jackermann]

No jokes about her having “a total eclipse of the heart” please.

Kerry-Lynne Findlay wins the fourth and final ballot with 51 per cent. Caroline Elliott placed second with 49 per cent. Findlay is speaking live now on 1130 NewsRadio. #bcpoli @CityNewsVAN

[John Ackermann 📻 @jackermann]

Kerry-Lynne Findlay wins the third ballot of the BC Conservative leadership race. Caroline Elliott placed second. Seeing as neither had 50 per cent support, there will be a fourth ballot.

[John Ackermann 📻 @jackermann]

Kerry-Lynne Findlay wins the second ballot. But there is still no candidate who has reached the 50 per cent threshold, so the vote will go to a third ballot. Other than Findlay, only Caroline Elliott and Iain Black remain.

“John Bonham - Moby Dick!”

[The Extreme Music Enthusiast @TheExtremeMusi1]

Happy 78th Birthday to the legendary John Bonham! 🥁🤘

The heartbeat of Led Zeppelin. The greatest rock drummer of all time.

Describe John Bonham with one word 👇

[John Ackermann 📻 @jackermann]

Listening to the new @boardsofcanada on new release day is a beautiful thing. Inferno has elements of the classic Boards of Canada sound while also stretching into new areas of sonic terrain. This will definitely take more than a few listens to fully digest! #vinyl
