Well, let’s see: my dad was a self-made man who became Prime Minister, my mother fled communism and raised a family as well as millions for charity, a brother who has, for 25 years worked to become one of the most important people in the Canadian banking sector, a sister who graduated from Harvard, NYU, raised the four most incredible kids you’ve ever met, was an investment banker, a lawyer and a cabinet minister, and another brother who despite the entrepreneur-killing policies of the liberal party of Canada, has built a wildly successful business. You’re absolutely right: I am the dumbest Mulroney. Keep putting goodness into the world, Dean.

It will be interesting to see what happens with this one. Cross-border copyright concerns while there is some friction between nations. https://t.co/wibdUUeChn

It is astonishing that Parliament remains prorogued at such a critical moment. In the wake of September 11, it was recalled immediately—a stark contrast to today's absence of leadership.

Liberal Party setting leadership contest entry fee at $350,000 undemocratically favours wealthy candidates who are supported by wealthy donors. Much better to have entry require signing up a set number of supporters. Allowing 14 year olds to vote is also a bad idea @DMajJourno #cdnpoli #bcpoli

@ruffoloj I am so disheartened by the lack of thought for the good of Canada in the way this is being handled.

Probably the most underrated @Salesforce announcement from @Benioff today is that ALL @SalesforceAdmns can now try generative AI (prompt builder & agentforce) in their OWN org without paying anything.

I already had my AE add Foundations to our org this afternoon, it took 5 mins.
