My one and only comment on the French language debate is can the media stop treating it as if it is a debate solely for Quebec? There are a million Francophones outside Quebec and this is their debate too! Acting as if French only exists in Quebec actually plays needlessly into separatist sentiments

Way to make your voices heard today good people of America!

Fascists hate when people show them that they’re in the minority.

If you can imagine Russia having a Manchurian candidate as US president, what would they have done differently than what Trump has done?

Prediction: Donald Trumps auto tariffs announcement today will create a lot of chaos. This is on purpose, he will want that chaos to distract from the leak of (should be) classified info.

Damage to industry, American consumers, and the economies of USA, Canada and Mexico matter not to him.

I feel filled with patriotism today!

I was in Iceland on a family vacation and it is fantastic, but there is nothing like being home.

For all its imperfections, there is no country I would rather call home than Canada.

So apropos of nothing, I am in Iceland and this photo is the divide as the European and North American tectonic plates pull away from one and other…

…Also I am unable to figure out how to fuse Canada to the European plate.

If you ever get the chance to watch the behaviour of other parents at a Christmas concert, it says lots about the character of those parents!

With all the turmoil in Ottawa today, now seems like a good time to remind everyone that the position of Prime Minister doesn’t exist in our constitution. But a ferry to Newfoundland does!

We are a strange place!

This time of year it’s the small joys that mean so much…

I am getting soft. -7 felt quite cold in Ottawa this evening.

An interesting read.

From a Canadian perspective it’s an analysis not likely to get much political attention. 12 out of 37 developed economies is not good enough to boast about nor poor enough to shame about.

The fact that there is no snow shovelling activity on the workout function of my Apple Watch is a clear indication of tech not knowing Canadian realities (Vancouver keep your mouth shut on this one)

Family went out for dinner to celebrate a child’s achievement. On a Friday night near holidays it was 2/3 empty. State of economy or has my community gone off St. Hubert’s?

I am not often going to post about politics because of my job, but given this is a cross party thing let me say this:

Federal and provincial governments who are running deficits should not borrow more money in a literal attempt to buy my vote through rebates.

Please invest in our future instead!
