Deeply thoughtful tribute to Canada’s John Piper. A remarkable under appreciated organizer for social justice and international solidarity. Bob Rae’s words capture the spirit of Piper’s life.

Get the vote out.

"Every pillar of what, I think, a lot of Canadians are attached to as the most decent, valuable parts of our society are things that, from the get-go, have been in the crosshairs of Poilievre: public education, Medicare, pensions."

I had wondered about our relationship to the British crown for some time. But I am now grateful to be politically linked to the crown given the boorish disrespectful behaviour of the US President.
My thanks to His Majesty King Charles III for his warm welcome and gracious hospitality today. Canada is fortunate to have a steadfast defender in our sovereign.

The history here at the Notre-Dame Cathedral reminds us that rebuilding for a stronger, better future is always possible.

I was grateful to have been welcomed for a visit in Paris this morning.

Donald Trump has extreme designs on Canada. He also has a playbook: Trigger a crisis with ultimatums too vague to be met, negotiate with conditions that would be crippling, then “settle” for the actual goals: fresh water, minerals, manufacturing jobs.
