You’re welcome. I wouldn’t worry about the haters. Most Canadians recognize that our relationship with the U.S. has changed and needs to evolve. Mark Carney is the right person to lead us through that.
You hit it dead on Amber. 👍
Are you seriously comparing the CAF to Canada Post???
Here’s the thing, being a service doesn’t magically exempt something from needing to function like a business. Trucks still need fuel, workers still need paycheques, and inefficiency still burns through taxpayer money whether we call it a “service” or not.
Good god people
Sure, let’s just ignore costs, revenues, and sustainability. Why bother asking whether it’s run well when we can just shrug and say “it’s a service” and keep writing the cheque?
This is great news for the CAF.
So I guess it’s us vs. the Lightning and the refs tonight. #GoHabsGo
PM Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, based on our close ties to America, have become our weaknesses. Weaknesses that we must correct ... The US has changed, and we must respond."
Only 45.4% bothered to vote in the last provincial election and this is what we ended up with. Sad.
Sens Mile is open. The Sens flag is up. Go Sens Go!
Le Mile des Sens est ouvert. Le drapeau des Sens est hissé. Allez les Sens!
PSPP is on track to be the Poilievre of Quebec politics.
Really inspiring to see Poilievre never quit.
Speaking as someone on the Liberal side, we’re absolutely thrilled he’s sticking around.
Two huge afternoon games for the Sens and Charge today with playoff implications. Buckle up. Let’s go Ottawa.
That’s the fucking stuff, man
A good reminder that incredible things are possible
Welcome back Artemis!
I really hope everything happening at uOttawa gets resolved quickly and that everyone stays safe. #ottawa
Black-and-white photo of a group of soldiers riding on a large wagon at Vimy Ridge. The men wear military uniforms and helmets, many smiling and raising their arms. Several sit along the edges with their legs hanging over the side, while others stand behind them. A soldier walks beside the wagon in the foreground. Another wagon filled with soldiers follows behind on a dirt road lined with bare trees.
On April 9, 1917, the Battle of Vimy Ridge began.
One of the most famous battles in Canadian history, it saw four Canadian divisions fighting together for the first time in the battlefields of France.
Here are the stories from that battle.

A wide view of Exhibition Stadium in Toronto during the first Toronto Blue Jays game, with a light snowfall covering much of the field. A circular cleared area surrounds the pitcher’s mound, where a small vehicle and grounds crew are visible working on the field. The stands are filled with spectators dressed in coats, and more people line the aisles and railings. The outfield and much of the infield remain covered in snow, with only sections of the diamond partially cleared. The sky is overcast, and stadium lights are on above the large grandstand.
On this day in 1977, the Toronto Blue Jays played their first game. In front of a home crowd of 44,649 at Exhibition Stadium, the Blue Jays won 9-5. A minor snowstorm hit just before the game started. That season, the Jays won only 54 games and finished in last in the AL East.
Agreed. Watched them this morning.
The Montreal Canadiens are officially heading to the StanleyCup Playoffs. 👀
Happy Easter 🐣
This now issued for Ottawa for Saturday. I guess it could wash off all the salt of winter, but not much else good comes from it. #ONStorm
A few snapshots from our European cruise adventure last week.
In seven days, we made our way through Rome, Greece, Croatia, and Naples (with a visit to Pompeii). So many unforgettable moments packed into one incredible trip!
A Special Weather Statement for Ottawa has just been issued for reduced visibility in snow and blowing snow and strong winds. #ONStorm
