@aisling_murph_ @ShawTheatre @GlobeArts Very nice review! It highlights the excellent performers and communicates the joyful moments of an imperfect and dated show.

@TorontoStar @dmrider Great choice! Chris Glover is very smart, is an excellent interviewer and is very personable. He’ll be a wonderful host of Metro Morning.

RETWEET if you stand with the Obamas against Trump’s racist attacks.

Racism isn’t “politics.” It’s desperation.
And America sees right through it.

Corey Hogan on Danielle Smith's judicial appointment demands: "You can't create a new power out of powers that you do have. You can't say, 'I want to appoint federal judges. So I'm just going to withhold funding to federal judges.' That's not the way the Constitution works."

While Ontarians struggle to pay rent, Doug Ford’s Labour Minister attended a wedding of a lobbyist whose clients got $8.5M in public money from the Skills Development Fund.

A $2.5B fund meant to train workers turned into a slush fund for insiders. #onpoli

Today, we launched Build Canada Homes — a new federal entity that will supercharge housing construction across the country.

It’s part of our mission to double the rate of homebuilding over the next decade, and create an entirely new housing industry in Canada.

Alastair Cambell asked PM Carney to tell him about Pierre Poilievre on The Rest Is Politics Podcast.

Mark Carney did not hold back.

“You can only believe so much in the free market if you’re a tenured professor at Chicago or if you’re a lifelong politician. Pierre worships in that world, he defaults to the same solutions all the time.”

“I honestly believe he disdains much about the country.”

“It’s pretty awkward for him now that the country is coming together.”

“Literally as we speak, he’s trying to find a flag to wrap himself in and play patriot. The last refuge of a scoundrel, the last time I checked. If I know my American history correctly.”

We chose well 🇨🇦.

Mark Carney is our fighter. 💪🇨🇦
