Canada has the critical minerals the world needs.
We’re matching Ontario’s $1 billion investment to build road infrastructure to reach the Ring of Fire. To unlock our critical minerals supply chain. To create up to 70,000 jobs.

Thank you.
Bill Clinton on Mark Carney:
I'm tired of treating our allies like they're dirt.
The prime minister of Canada has been a friend of mine for a long time. We got to know each other having virtually nothing to do with politics.
He's about the most well-qualified leader in the world. He's been head of the banks of both the UK and Canada.
And we have the gall to suggest that they should become the 51st state.

Naheed Nenshi on Indigenous turnout in the Alberta referendum: "The very people who've been hurt more by the mistakes of Canada than anybody else, stood up as the proudest champions of Canada."

A synagogue in Paris was reportedly vandalized during the protests that exploded in France this weekend.
Targeting a vulnerable community and desecrating their place of worship is not an acceptable way to "protest."
It is an act of anti-Jewish hate. xitter.gq/BastionMediaFR/status/…
Happy Persons Day !
Today is Persons Day.
This day honours The Persons Case, which ended in a victory for The Famous Five on Oct. 18, 1929. The ruling declared women to be persons under the law and qualified to sit in the Senate. Cairine Wilson became the first female Senator in 1930

Amazing.
Two coyotes chased a baby deer into our pasture. It ran straight under our biggest mare... She's nineteen hundred pounds and she would not move off that fawn. She stamped and kicked until both coyotes gave up. Then she put her nose down to check on it.

Terry Fox showed us the best of Canada. Courage in the face of adversity. Determination to make life better for others. The belief that each of us can make a difference.
To everyone taking part in a Terry Fox Run today: thank you for carrying forward what he started. Step by step. For all of us.
So great! Bravo. Happy Anniversary!
Today marks 7 years since my stem cell transplant.
I still remember Dr. Thomas Kiss telling me, on this day in 2019, at the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, “Welcome to your second birthday, because today we are giving you a second life.”
A special thought goes to Jonathan Kehl, the young German man whose stem cell donation gave me this second life.
I was at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont UHC today for my monthly immunoglobulin appointment and had a chance to thank nurse Chantal Ferrari as well as the other doctors and nurses that were part of my journey.
Seven years later, I am still as grateful as ever.

We all need to wake up to the existence of a new right wing alliance, clearly called for in the US National Security Strategy issued in December 2025, which will include the German AFD, the Rassemblement National in France, Nigel Farage’s party and those even further to the right in the UK. Their political advance will be led, supported, fuelled and financed by Trump, the TechBros, Putin, and whatever other sources can be found around the world. They are actively interfering in the Alberta referendum, and will fund whatever racist and separatist groups they can find around the world. Failure to understand this, and to fight it, will put our own democratic lives at risk.
