Take a moment to remember the brave Canadian troops that stormed Vimy Ridge, today April 9 in 1917. They fought for actual freedom and peace - enduring peace that is. Let's Remember and also find inspiration to be better.

Beaumont is not as impressed by the ongoing news and swearing in as I am. Soaking in some rays seems way more fun. Y'a de quoi être jaloux.

Well, that was a true dumpster fire of a press availability. We'll be talking about this one for years. (Image: AFP/Getty)

Mon fils m'annonce en sortant de l'école aujourd'hui qu'il s'est porté volontaire pour faire une présentation demain matin à la "radio" de son école (suivant les annonces du matin essentiellement). J'ai tellement souvent fait la même chose à son âge...preuve que la pomme tombe pas loin de l'arbre...

Seeing a Tim Horton's ad during Superbowl that ends with "Proudly Canadian" def annoys me. Why? Tim's isn't really Canadian anymore. It's a marketing ploy to foster a faux feeling of patriotism.

We've now spent the day compiling a list of US goods and companies we use and finding 🇨🇦 alternatives. It took this dumb tariff war to make us do it but I think it will be worth it. #teamCanada

Seeing so many colleagues and friends receiving the Coronation Medal - happy for them. But if anyone has one left, I'm a taker ;) It's not like I haven't done much over the past 20 years in various communities, and internationally on so many impactful projects. Oh well...🥸

Demain sera mon dernier jour à titre de porte-parole. Ce fut une aventure folle de 2 ans qui aura certainement contribué à faire monter ma pression. Jeudi matin, ce sera que du beau et du nouveau (presque).

Every Friday, my team comes up with a quirky question for our end of the day meeting. Once, I proposed we show and tell our favorite mugs. I showed up with 4. Today, the question is "A funny JP moment"... I'm not sure if I should be afraid or flattered.

2025 was kicked off in a cottage with friends, nice walks and some good wine...very far away from the news. Before heading back to the office, I'm going to take time to think about 2024 and how I can make the new year even better and exciting.
