As a kid in the 70's, watching Catherine O'Hara and the cast of SCTV provided some early hilarious moments.
RIP to a Canadian legend.

Elie Wiesel warned that, “to forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” Canada will remember – so that “Never Again” is always true.

And added over 10,000 ICE agents.
It's insane what has happened in just 12 months.

We lost over 10,000 scientists from the U.S. government. Most pushed out via threatened terminations, harassments, and via decimating reductions in force. Dark times ahead.

A moment out of time captured last week in Antarctica during our red sails expedition. Living on these schooners for 11 days while exploring one of the most beautiful places on earth was really an amazing experience.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Burns: On 9/11, when I was U.S. Ambassador to NATO, the very first country that came to our defense was Canada. Canadian forces then fought with us in Afghanistan. Lesson for Americans: Treasure our allies. Respect them. They’re on our side.

Canadian PM Carney’s speech at Davos reportedly received a standing ovation.
The speech marked the end of an era.
It will no doubt be looked to as part of the historical record of the end of the transatlantic rules-based international order.

Today, his name is most associated with the restaurant chain but Tim Horton was more than the man who created Tim Hortons.
He was also a Hall of Fame defenceman who was one of the greats of his era.
This is his story.
