Avid follower of politics. Have voted for parties across the spectrum. Not paid by any. Open to voting for new ones. Won't tweet photos of my food.

It’s always a controversial determination but here’s one ranking of the best soccer leagues in the world.
Goes into the hundreds.

@Cadeyrnn @marissenmark @JakeLandauTO The original post’s count adds to 99. Whatever. I get it that it’s theoretical thinking.

@Snake1633691791 @sarahkirby_yung @rishi__veda So the city can forward the money to the province.

Awful journalism at @GlobalBC tonight.
Intro headline was “Whitecaps booted from BC Place”
They discuss in a confusing news story that does not address this.
It’s not until the 50 min mark that we learn it’s only a few select games. 👎

I have a multitude of thoughts, but a prominent one is that -‘ what goes around comes around’ . #karma #bcpoli

Uplifting @GlobalBC story about the MS survivor who won the @PNE_Playland prize home but what a shockingly badly planned community it is in. Totally car dependent. Just houses. No stores. @TourismLangley should be ashamed development was approved.

@garymasonglobe The 1988 campaign is not the best example of one Chrétien was involved with. He undermined Turner as leader in the lead-up, and was not a candidate.

FYI that you’re wrong that the BC Liberal Party was “never” affiliated with the federal Liberals. Before 1990 those who bought BC Liberal memberships were automatically federal Liberal members. That changed at a provincial convention and the party opened bigger tent

I like @MarkJCarney but he really should stop saying he was born in the Arctic.
He was born in Fort Smith – the North.
Fort Smith is more than a third of the way between the Arctic and Vancouver.
The Arctic means the Arctic Circle.

Could Canada join the EU?

@brianlilley Why not ask Harper?

Of course that was a different time.
People even then, though, were consuming content on the run.

I first ran for city council because things needed to be done differently at City Hall. Regardless of the issue, I wanted to make sure that voices from all corners of our city are lifted up and included — not silenced and marginalized.🧵

My wife was at Costco this week and ran into some neighbours who were trying to avoid American products… at Costco, an American company.

Confusing out there.

I’m extremely disappointed that President Trump has chosen to walk away from a trading relationship that for decades has made life better for millions of workers on both sides of the border.

I wish we weren’t here. I wish Ontario and Canada were working together with our American friends and allies to make our two countries the richest, most successful, safest, most secure on the planet. Instead, President Trump has chosen to move forward with tariffs that will only hurt America and make Americans poorer. Canada now has no choice but to hit back and hit back hard.

As Premier of Ontario, the federal government has my full support for a strong and forceful response that matches U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar. Canada has so much of what America needs: high-grade nickel and other critical minerals, energy and electricity, uranium, potash, aluminum. We need to maximize our points of leverage and use them to maximum effect. The federal government needs to also pursue every legal route to challenge these unfair, unjustified and illegal tariffs.

The coming days and weeks will be incredibly difficult. Trump’s tariffs will devastate our economy. They’ll put 450,000 jobs at risk across the province. Every sector and region will feel the impact.

With a strong, stable, four-year mandate that outlives and outlasts the Trump administration, I’ll do whatever it takes to protect Ontario, our workers, businesses and communities. I’ll invest tens of billions to retrain workers for new opportunities, retool companies for new customers, reshore supply chains and rebuild roads and highways to create new jobs. I’ll make tough choices to make Ontario’s economy the most competitive place to invest, create jobs and do business.

None of us want to be here, but Canada and Ontario have faced down this kind of challenge before. Each time, we’ve emerged stronger, more united, more determined than ever. Canada and Ontario will once again answer the call.

Together, we’ll meet this moment. We’ll stand united. We’ll stand strong.

Together, we’ll protect Ontario.

Bittersweet about Justin Trudeau.
I voted against the Trudeau Liberals twice and for them once.
It was time for him to go.
It is also time for @HedyFry to let it be known that she is stepping into retirement.
Lesson from Trudeau: realize when it is time to go.
