It is one of the most iconic portraits of the 20th century.
The portrait has appeared on stamps and on the British £5 banknote.
And it was taken by Canada's greatest portrait photographer at Parliament Hill.
This is the story of The Roaring Lion.

Hey Pete, you understand Dutch, so you’ll get it when this Canadian says: ROT OP.
US Ambassador to Canada: But let me tell you, I go around the country and people will say, “Pete, you just don’t understand why we’re so mad about the 51st state.” And it’s kind of like, “Yeah, you’re right. I don’t.

‘Some zany thing that has very little value’ describes pretty much every single thing my kid would find at the corner store on their weekly solo, independence-stretching shopping spree.
Councillor Holyday worries about retail stores that "sell some zany thing that has very little value." He wants to know if council could define a list of what stores can sell.
Staff say they can regulate things like size, noise and property standards, but generally not what stores sell.

Friends,
In the comments to my post about a Russian ballerina Maria Khoreva performing in Barcelona there are a lot of statements that the ballerina cannot do anything on her own, that her job is art, not fighting against the Kremlin's regime.

Really great interview, should be watched. The known benefits for bike lanes on main streets are being espoused by those retailers who work on those streets. Excellent.
WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

How about replace the word ‘Muslim’ with ‘Catholic’ and ‘Uganda’ for ‘Italy’ and you’ve got the exact same bigoted narrative that Italians faced as post WWII immigrants feeling Europe. Cuomo managing to forget all that is next level racist dick.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

While Doug Ford focuses attention on controversial ads, and distractions like pouring Crown Royal along with other gimmicks, he’s quietly dismantling rules meant to keep our elections free, fair & with limits on influence peddling. He’s put his own interests before our democracy.

Anyone blaming Canada for not getting an agreement with this lunatic should shut it
Trump is pissed about an ad that Canada recently ran in the U.S. showing Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in 1987.
“Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”
