President #Trump just cost American taxpayers millions of dollars by renaming Lake Ontario.

Think of all the geography textbooks, maps, and globes that will need to be updated. Local school boards are in dire straits as it is. Where will they get the money for this change?

And how much will it cost the Pentagon, the FAA, and other departments to comply with Trump’s order.

Printers and cartographers are rejoicing of this sudden windfall.

In the meantime Canadian school kids will continue to call it by its proper name: Lake Ontario. Trump’s executive order will have zero impact or cost.

It was great celebrating the second anniversary of @policornerca with publisher @ahmadelbayoumi. PoliCorner has become an important and respected publication that covers what’s happening at Queen’s Park. If you don’t have a subscription get one.

Here is a recent #OpEd I wrote for @iPoliticsCA on how @MarkJCarney is forming a national unity government with former @NDP and @CPC_HQ members. Those joining the @liberal_party team should be recognized for stepping up and helping to provide a stable national government.

I congratulate @fordnation for his leadership in standing up to the Jew-hatred that we have witnessed in Toronto and across the country. It is never too late to do the right thing and applying for an injunction to prevent the hate filled #QudsDay rally from taking place finally recognizing what this event really is. Now is the time for all political leaders to stand up and be counted. The hate that the Premier has pointed out that is infecting our country must end.

This afternoon, I’ve instructed my Attorney General to pursue an injunction against the Al-Quds Day demonstration planned for Toronto.

Hate, violence and intimidation have no place on the streets of Canada and our government will fight it however we can.

A lot has happened in the past 72 hours, but prior to Prime Minister @MarkJCarney speaking at #WEF, the #CBCNews Sunday panel discussed @realDonaldTrump continuing threats over #Greenland and the strain it is causing on #NATO members.

We also discussed the PM’s visit to #China and the results it produced. Host @deanasumanac guided the discussion with fellow panelists @MarionNader and @Jeff_Rutledge.

On the @CBCNews Sunday night panel with host @deanasumanac and regular @Jeff_Rutledge, and filling in for @MarionNader is @Real_G_Soule. We discussed the #floorcrossing of #CPC @chrisdEntremon1 and the challenge to @PierrePoilievre leadership. We also discussed the federal #budget and the reaction.

Ahead of tomorrow’s federal #budget I had the chance to discuss it with Jeff Rutledge and CBC News host Deana Sumanac-Johnson. We also discussed the fallout from the Doug Ford US President Ronald Reagan ad.

PS - I wore my Toronto Blue Jays shirt in cap in honour of the boys.
