Terrific presentation by Rick Westhead, sports broadcaster for @tsnofficial.bsky.social to common law students @uottawa.ca about his new book #WeBreedLions. In light of recent sexual abuse allegations/scandals, questions must be asked about Cdn iconic hockey culture. @hockeycanada.bsky.social

Really lucked out to meet @petebuttigieg.bsky.social . I think he may have preferred @monafortier because she was not annoying him! Seriously, I was asking if we could get more @democraticparty.bsky.social up here in Canada to speak! @canada2020 #cdnpoli

Not sure if @bsky.app is working for local news yet, but for those in @westboro.bsky.social , the sight of this beloved Ottawa heritage house gutted by fire in the night, was shocking to see. The house is a beautiful piece of history in the heart of the neighborhood @ctvnewsottawa.bsky.social

No one on the Hill throws a better party than the #Irish. In a place that is not always welcoming, the Irish Ambassador, John Cancannon & co chairs MP Jamie Maloney & Senator Rod Black threw out the welcome mat to partisans of all parties to celebrate the strong friendship between our countries.

Winston Churchill is a gift that keeps on giving. 150 years since his birth, a new book by American author, @JamesBConroy describes Churchill’s role at the Casablanca Conference in 1943. The book is a ‘master class in military strategy and high stakes negotiation ‘ . @charlottegray #books #history
