In 1959, my late father John Sholdice finished his 1st year at @WesternU due to a $150 bursary. He never forgot what it meant.

The John Sholdice Memorial Bursary will help low-income @westernuScience students from London, just like him. You can donate at https://t.co/XBx4kiL1Fk

It's been a great summer for history conferences! I enjoyed presenting "Ontario’s Public-Private Partnerships in the Oil and Gas Industry, 1975-1993" on Wednesday at the World Congress of Business History at @UofT; many thanks to @cdnbizhistory. 1/2

Liberals were clear last night at the @OntLiberal event in London: Our province needs change.

And that starts by rebuilding the Ontario Liberal Party from the ground up. I know what it takes to help build a party back, and it takes hard work - hard work I know we can do together.

Let's lead again.

Donald Trump's unfair tariffs are unjustified and a direct attack on Ontario jobs.

We must all do everything we can to support our economy, protect our businesses, and defend Ontario workers and families.

🇨🇦

Les tarifs douaniers imposés par Donald Trump sont injustifiés et constituent une attaque contre les emplois en Ontario.

Nous devons tous faire tout ce qui est en notre pouvoir pour soutenir notre économie, protéger nos entreprises et défendre les travailleuses, les travailleurs et les familles de l'Ontario.

This is an amazing quote from Lindsey Graham about when he realized how politics works. https://t.co/sh04ahQOFq

This from Fukuyama's End of History is very good, it explains both woke & MAGA.

@SHollywoodN @davidclement @ConsumerChoiceC They didn't teach you sarcasm at your university, did they?

[Mark Sholdice @marksholdice]

@davidclement @SHollywoodN @ConsumerChoiceC You aren't even allowed to admit where your money comes from

[Mark Sholdice @marksholdice]

@SHollywoodN @davidclement @ConsumerChoiceC Where do you think @ConsumerChoiceC gets its funding? It's not Canada

[Mark Sholdice @marksholdice]

@davidclement @ConsumerChoiceC My version of loyalty means I don't take Koch money to promote US trade policy

[Mark Sholdice @marksholdice]

@davidclement @ConsumerChoiceC Of course I would support banning those things during a trade war. Why should we allow the Americans to constantly violate trade agreements without repercussions? Why does an American think tank oppose our right to fight back in a trade war? I'm loyal to my country, Canada.

[Mark Sholdice @marksholdice]

@davidclement @ConsumerChoiceC You are the one who works for an American think tank and are arguing the Trump line on alcohol imports, my man

[Mark Sholdice @marksholdice]

@davidclement Wait, you're a Canadian? Does @consumerchoicec also support the Trump position in the CUSMA negotiations? I think Canadians need to be aware of foreign influence campaigns on our soil.

@davidclement No, aren't you an American? Why are you saying "our"?
