Watching Mark Carney of Canada speak at NATO to reporters vs the bloated #1 Epstein client isโฆ
Class vs crass
Knowledge vs stupefying ignorance
Unflappable vs child in mid tantrum
Formidable vs weak pretender
Well played Canada

Today, I am sharing a significant next step in my journey. This September, after 32 years of military service and 17 years as a Canadian Space Agency astronautโculminating in the incredible privilege of flying around the Moon on Artemis IIโI will be transitioning from my full-time role at the CSA.
This is far from a departure. My commitment to seeing Canada thrive remains absolute. To ensure continuity in this mission, the Royal Canadian Air Force is enabling my transition into a Reservist role. This unique position is a deliberate launchpad designed to leave the door open for creative, ongoing ways to support and enable the vital work happening in Canada with respect to space, and Iโm excited for the new challenges it will bring.
Our future depends on a fierce continuation of Canadian innovation and exploration in space. The technological breakthroughs and economic benefits born from this sector are vital for our country and the world, and I am as determined as ever to push that work forward.
To the Canadian Armed Forces, the CSA, NASA, our international partners, and my family: thank you. And to all Canadians: thank you for believing in what our country can achieve when we aim high.
The mission continues. ๐จ๐ฆ
Happy Canada Day! In the 1970s, while touring as The Guess Who, we carried the Canadian flag with us wherever we went. It often served as our backdrop on stage. Iโm proud to have been born in Canada and proud to live full-time in the Prairies of Saskatchewan. ๐จ๐ฆ
David Clayton-Thomas, the unmistakable voice behind "Spinning Wheel," "And When I Die," and "You've Made Me So Very Happy," has died at 84. He sold more than 40 million records across his career. https://t.co/LzQjnEsDuw
A woman hiking in Canada nearly became a grizzlyโs next meal and the video circulating right now is genuinely one of the most intense wildlife encounters you will ever watch - her dog is with her, a massive grizzly is right there, and somehow she kept her head together long enough for both of them to walk away breathing.
That is not a small thing. Most people talk tough until nature is standing ten feet in front of them and every instinct in your body is screaming to run, and running is exactly the worst thing you can do.
Grizzlies are built to chase, they top out over 700 pounds and can cover ground faster than any human alive. The people who survive these moments are the ones who override pure fear with pure discipline and this woman did exactly that.
If you hike, camp, or spend any real time in the wilderness - bear spray is not optional, it is the difference between a story you tell and one somebody else tells about you.
Could you have kept your cool?
Hats off to her.
Today at Rideau Hall in Ottawa, a joyful moment talking with the Governor General of Canada, the Honourable Louise Arbour, who presented me with my medal along with other distinguished Canadians. This is an informal photo taken during lunch; the official photo from the award ceremony will arrive in 1โ2 days.
