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)

We fought together, not against each other. That's how it was, that's how it should be.

L'inconvénient d'être un oiseau de nuit, c'est qu'aux heures tardives de la soirée, c'est là que le hamster tourne à plein régime.a réalisation du moment? J'ai complètement omis d'écrire un bilan quelconque de mon année 2024 et là les idées me sortent par les oreilles.

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.

Great picture of Beaumont and Vimy - also, I slipped 5 times during our walk tonight. My ass hurts.

It was great being behind the scene and coordinating the closing presser for the CPTPP conference in Vancouver. Being on the ground, meeting with amazing reporters (not just saying that to suck up), is the best part of my job. Oh, and what a view !

My son and I have now been going to the same barber in Ottawa since we moved to the region. Saturday morning appointments remind me of when my dad would bring me to his barber back in Toronto - minus the smell of cigarette smoke and old Playboy magazines next to the Maclean's and Readers' Digest.

Is Scotch the solution to everything? Non, mais après une très longue journée ça se prends bien. Cheers.

Un dimanche tranquille comme on les aime. 2 bodum de café tard en journée, mots croisés, Wordle et planif de repas. Une version plus jeune de moi serait plutôt déçu de ma journée.

First post jitters - will I look back on this post in 5, 10 or maybe 15 years and wonder why the heck I chose this picture? Who knows. The world is burning, so let's have a beer.
