We rushed to Bloor Street -- my husband, my friend, and me -- and just joined the throng. A kid about 13 years old rushed past me with his friends and "honked" my breast as he went "woooo." I mean, it was an assault, but such a shock from this elated kid that I just gasped and laughed.
I clearly remember that first World Series win, Yonge Street thronged, and as we plunged into the crowd my friend said, "It's going to be a night of people saying WOOOOOOO to each other"

At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

After I interviewed him for CBC News, Mr. Gergen followed me on Twitter. I was thrilled and honoured. And later, when I called about another invu that he was unable to do, he was so gracious and generous with his time. His insights have been missed at a crucial time. Condolences to his loved ones.

CANADIAN REPORTER: Trump's tone on Canada has shifted. He stopped talking about Canada becoming the 51st state.
LEAVITT: I would reject that the president's position on Canada has shifted. Perhaps he just hasn't been asked about it. He believes Canadians would benefit from becoming the 51st state.

The word "trade war" gets thrown around casually. They're usually more tits for tats, escalating diplomatic eye-poking. But what Trump is doing now with Canada, just upgraded with new tariffs this morning, is more and more like waging a war against our neighbor albeit it economic means.

Colleagues, please stop this kind of reporting. It’s as offensive as “Who would be the local governor in Russian-ruled Ukraine?”
Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...
Canada as the 51st State? In Electoral Terms, Trump’s Idea Favors Democrats.
Bringing Canada into the United States, however farcical the prospect may seem, would alter the political map in a way likely to cost Republicans.
