This pathetic attitude is among the worst things about our political culture in Canada and I cannot reject it enough.

It gets cloaked in the language of progressivism but it is deeply cynical, ugly, and regressive.

Story time!

Growing up, I was hugely inspired by RIM (BlackBerry). It was one of the reasons why I wanted to go to Waterloo.

I thought it was so cool one of the most innovative companies on earth was an hour away from home.

In fact, my program, Nanotechnology Engineering, was able to exist in part due to the philanthropy of Mike Lazaridis, who funded the Institute of Quantum Computing and Nanotechnology (along with the Perimeter Institute for theoretical physics, which is a brilliant asset for the province and country). Balsillie, for his part, has spent tens of not hundreds of millions of his personal wealth on advocacy and institutions to make Canada a better place. But he too was castigated in our media.

Through high school, I saw how Canadas media took an axe to RIM founders (Mike and Jim), and basically cheered on the decline of the business against competition from Apple and Google.

It was a complete disgrace.

Well, in 2013 I got my second co-op job there, just as they rolled out BB10 (the QNX operating system). 6 weeks into my co-op, my entire department was laid off (Modems/Semiconductors).

Nearly every one of my colleagues ended up moving to the US. Some of the most capable talent on earth, poached in weeks. It was loss that was absolutely devastating to witness.

I have no doubt people like Bruce cheered on the spectacle, just like he would cheer the downfall of Shopify if it were to ever happen; despite the champion it’s been for the country, the thousands of good jobs it’s created, and all the spin-off businesses that have created huge wealth for Ontario.

Well let me be clear that I will have none of this nonsense.

I used to consider Toronto Council the kids table. That was too generous, apparently. Toronto Council is the pre-school circle time.

@rupasubramanya @JJ_McCullough “…the more we let go, the less we’ll have that helps define who we are.” So true, Rupa. If anything, Conservatives should be campaigning on this point.

@Robert_E_Kelly @InsideEdition I can’t believe it’s been 9 years! This video warmed my heart then and still to this day I watch it every time I come across it and it makes me happy. Bless you and your sweet family, thanks for all the smiles and giggles.

@stoolpresidente @CurlingCanada How do you react when a hockey player cross-checks, or a football player getting a pass interference penalty. Not all of these are caught and called. Had the double touch been seen, a simple burned rock penalty would have been called.

Grow up.

A perfect statement

[Lisa Levac @lisalevac]

Mark Carney basically dipping in and out of Canada for most of his life is apparent to me right now. Why else does he seem to be so disconnected from the national mood in response to our war dead being disrespected? Never mind his elbows, his fists should be out right now.

[Lisa Levac @lisalevac]

What say you, @MarkJCarney ? Our war dead are being dishonoured. Grieving families being told their sacrifice was not enough. What do you have to say about this?

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer has called on Donald Trump to apologise for his "insulting and frankly appalling" comments about British troops in Afghanistan

[The Royal Canadian Legion @RoyalCdnLegion]

More than 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces members served during Canada’s mission in Afghanistan. 158 never came home, and many others returned carrying physical and psychological wounds that continue long after service ends.

Today, and everyday, we Remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we honour the courage of all who served, and we stand with the Veterans and families who live every day with the lasting impacts of that mission.

As an organization committed to supporting Veterans of all eras, our focus remains on Remembrance, respect, and support — for the fallen, for those who served and returned, and for their loved ones.

“Will they be there”? Ask the Canadian moms whose sons came home in caskets. Explain to them how their sacrifice was not good enough for the United States.

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."
