My thoughts are my own!

If you’re going to have one career highlight…..Scoring a hero TD in the playoffs against the GOAT is a pretty good one.

What a career, Taylor Heinicke 👏

Adam Chambers on Buffalo fans singing O Canada: "I think that is a strong representation of the relationship between our two countries ... it would be nice if politicians on either side of the border got to the table to instead of using the relationship for their own domestic political benefits."

Buffalo always got our back. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

The mic cut out during O Canada but the crowd in Buffalo had her back

SONNY STYLES!

[Adam Chambers @adamchamb]

We need people in Canada and the US that genuinely want to be at the table to work out our issues.
We don't need lectures from those who are interested in using challenges in the relationship to bolster their domestic political fortunes on either side of the border.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

The pundits chirping about @PierrePoilievre’s leadership of the @CPC_HQ seem to forget that he just won 87% in a leadership review vote.

Under his leadership a year ago, the Conservative Party won by far the largest number of votes in its history, and the highest share of popular vote since 1988.

He has expanded the Conservative coalition in important ways, and has been perhaps the most effective opposition leader in modern Canadian history, driving Justin Trudeau out of office, and defining the key issues in national politics for most of his tenure.

I have been critical (constructively, I hope) about some aspects of his leadership, including the admittedly difficult problem of how to deal with the destabilizing threats and uncertainty emanating from Donald Trump.

But I am encouraged to see Mr. Poilievre modifying his approach to address lessons learned from the last election, e.g. his recent trips abroad, and a broader approach to communications.

There is no doubt in my mind that he has the confidence of the Conservative Party, and has won the right to contest the next election.

And to the small number of Conservatives who might be sceptical, I ask them how the party benefits from the constant internal strife of changing leaders? What message would it send to Canadians to have a seventh leader (including interims) since 2015?

IMO the Liberal majority should be seen by Conservatives as an opportunity to:

- demonstrate the maturity and discipline expected of a government in waiting;

- focus on offering constructive ideas that address Canada’s deep challenges, as opposed to a perennially angry clickbait oppositional approach;

- recruit talented candidates with senior private sector and government leadership experience who can help present a team that’s ready to govern;

- demonstrate that Conservatives do not regard the Trump phenomenon as a distraction to be downplayed, but a serious and disruptive threat to our sovereignty and prosperity to be addressed head-on;

- have the courage to lead responsibly on difficult issues, like the need for root and branch reform of the broken immigration system; promoting the duty of newcomers to integrate; reversing the woke denigration of Canada’s historically grounded identity and institutions, etc; challenging the growing abuse of judicial power in the criminal justice system, etc.;

- clearly demonstrate that ours is the party of Confederation by helping to lead the fight for national unity against potential secession referenda in Alberta & Quebec.

Canadians want and deserve a serious opposition that fulfils its constitutional duty to offer an alternative government. IMO, that means maintaining strong, stable, patriotic leadership that can learn from past mistakes, while building with confidence.

This is such a bad take. @DeMar_DeRozan has been one of the most consistent scorers in the league for way more than a decade and he also actually plays basketball. No load management, no half seasons due to injury and averages 34 mins per game. Show some respect.

[Carson Breber @Carsobi]

DeMar DeRozan only needs to average 18 PPG for another 105 games to surpass Shaq in career points and enter the all-time Top 10

I find this deeply disturbing

[patrickharris @patrickharris]

This is a diabolical move to pull on a person willing to pay money to see the Washington Wizards play.

[FearBuck @FearedBuck]

The Wizards made a fan think he won $10,000 in an April Fools prank by pretending he made a blindfolded half court shot 😭

TORONTO JUST WENT ON A 31-0 RUN!

It's the LARGEST unanswered run in the PxP era (1997-98) 🤯

Heather is a Princeton graduate with decades of experience in the public sector and was Chief of Staff to the Minister of Health through the global pandemic. More than qualified for this role. When super qualified women are appointed to big jobs it should be celebrated.

[Norm Di Pasquale 🇨🇦 @normsworld]

So it turns out that Heather Watt, the Ford crony supervisor appointed to run the Peel District School Board is the daughter of Jaime Watt, founder of Navigator. Who better to help Education Minister Calandra navigate the useful crisis of his own creation? #topoli #Onpoli #onted

It was the honour of a lifetime to have served as mayor of this city, the city I love and will always hold dearly in my heart.

You’ve given me a lot to think about and I want to assure you I have given it serious consideration.

But I will not be running in the 2026 election.

Losing in Nagano in 98 was the worst sports moment of my youth. Still painful to think about However, It made winning in Salt Lake and Vancouver so much sweeter. We’ll be back. Tell the 🇨🇦 kids experiencing heartbreak today for the first time.

Gutted. Our boys played their asses off and made us proud. Congratulations to team USA. See you in four years.
