Michelle Obama to Barack Obama: You were doing the people's work. Rescuing our economy. Expanding healthcare. Ending a war. Ordering the Bin Laden raid. Saving the auto industry. Winning a peace prize. Keeping us safe from Ebola. Regulating the banks. Standing up for marriage equality. Listening to science. And comforting an entire nation. And you did it all with such grace, and class, and cool.
🚨 Senegal captain Kalidou Koulibaly speaking facts:
"Africans can’t have their people" at the World Cup because of US travel bans.
Every other team gets their fans. But Global South teams like Senegal get blocked while the West lectures everyone about "inclusion" and "human rights".
This is the same empire that bombs, exploits, and restricts — then cries when others resist.
Football should unite people, not separate them with racist visa policies and double standards.
Stand with Koulibaly. Stand with the fans. Stand with the Global South.
No bows. Just raw truth. 💪🏿🇸🇳
A statistic I can't stop thinking about:
80 million more people travelled internationally in 2025 than in 2024. The U.S. was the only major destination to see visitor numbers decline.
Where did those travellers go?
I think Canada is benefiting from something deeper than tourism marketing. In an age of uncertainty, Canada has become a reassurance destination.

Unequivocally good news on the Canadian employment front this morning. Employment rose by a huge 88,000 positions in May, the unemployment rate fell 0.3 percentage points to 6.6% and private sector jobs rose by 56,300 positions, also a very substantial gain.
Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:
“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.
Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.
Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”
There are around 5K-10K people in Canada that pay the equivalent in taxes of a combined 15.5M Canadians.
Around $17bn in total, per year.
It would be good for Canada if we doubled this number, not by increasing taxes, but by growing the whole pie.
To do this, we need more many, many more entrepreneurs.
disappointing to see that there is not a single founder, startup CEO, tech entrepreneur, VC, or innovation-economy builder on this committee
this is an old-economy 🦕 list:

> 1 Indigenous business association CEO

. @MarkJCarney was once a rock star central bank governor.
In his current role as 🇨🇦 Prime Minister, he is working to reinvent multilateralism.
I was delighted to write a piece for
@TIME reflecting on why he is one of the world's most influential people https://t.co/WJ3QuSTDjI
God’s heart is torn apart by wars, violence, injustice and lies. But our Father’s heart is not with the wicked, the arrogant, or the proud. God’s heart is with the little ones and the humble, and with them He builds up His Kingdom of love and peace day by day. Wherever there is love and service, God is there. #ApostolicJourney #Algeria
