It’s election night and we are on @CTVVancouver waiting for the results to come in.

The Canadian Ditchley Foundation brought together this group of august thinkers in Toronto over the last 3 days. To be joined throughout by the incredible Dr. Janice Stein (front row, small but very mighty) was a special honour for all of us. I came home more optimistic about what this country can do. Many thanks to Ditchley Canada for bringing us together.

Lions game last night with Canada's best Premier, @PremierScottMoe and B.C's next Premier @LDoerkson.
Both, plain spoken, dependable men who do what they say they'll do.
What a contrast to our current govt.
Until today, @lngcanada was the biggest private sector investment in Canadian history, a project we set out to build starting in 2011. Today, Saskatchewan beat that milestone: Bell AI Fabric's expansion near Regina brings its total investment to $52 billion.
I always had a feeling @PremierScottMoe would be the one to take it. That's what a good Premier does: create the conditions, then get out of the way and let investment happen.
Congrats to the Saskies. Well earned.

On this week's episode of the podcast, I got to chat with German soccer legend Thomas Müller.
Full episode out on YouTube, Spotify and Apple.

Dolly Parton was my feminist idol.
She chose and charted her own path.
She made herself rich and shared much of her wealth with people who knew poverty the way she once had.
She gave millions of children the gift of reading.
She put her arms around the gay community when the AIDS crisis was at its height.
And she gave so much beautiful and inspiring music.
She lives in my heart always .
Trying to find some sunshine amidst the gloomy trade news.
There’s no denying that small businesses, most with limited options, will be walloped. That alone will be a terrible economic setback.
1.Cementing trade relationships outside the US.
2.Extracting our natural resources - ones desperately needed by our allies.
3.Building hard infrastructure like ports and pipelines to get our goods to them.
4.Uniting provinces around eliminating internal trade barriers so we can better support Canadian businesses to thrive.
But the positive impact of this must be that after a decade of terrible governance in Ottawa and too much squabbling self interest from provincial leaders, this crisis will finally serve to unite Canada as a nation.
One built on:
40,000+ in the building for our first home game since the World Cup. Let’s go ’Caps!

The 5 Conditions are back! Who said those were a terrible idea? Uh....everyone from the BC NDP to the Alberta govt. They were always a sensible bottom line. SO pleased to see they are still the guide to getting pipelines built in BC.

Few people have given more to this country than Frank McKenna. Premier, ambassador, business leader, and someone who still fights for Canada every single day. I sat down with him for a conversation about the extraordinary moment we are in right now, the very real threats we face, and why he believes our best days are still ahead.

I sat down with the former Alberta Premier @jkenney to find out what life looks like after decades at the centre of Canadian conservative politics. What I got was one of the most candid conversations I've had in a long time.
