This #BlueJays fan will be cheering for the @Cubs in the post season. @KevinGausman is the best and deserves a ring. Just look at this play. Always gives 110% each and every time he takes the field. It would be great to see him back in Toronto next season. #BlueJays50

Honoured to conclude Canada’s presidency of the @WFP Board after a year of collaboration and shared achievements with a focus on lives saved and changed.
Je remercie mes collègues pour leur engagement.
Un ottimo momento per riflettere e guardare al futuro.

"Consensus might no longer be possible. If it is, the work of building one will need to be outsourced to institutions that can resist the political fray."
Carmichael: Canada needs to bring back royal commissions. They used to help the country build consensus, but it’s been more than four decades since the last one.

Jeff is a constant reminder of the importance of honesty, hard work, service and community. Wishes you continued good health this year and always.

"You need to believe in the importance of competition in the organization of our economic affairs. You need to believe that this is the right way. That’s not hard." Boswell is a legend. Great interview.
Matthew Boswell, the outgoing competition commissioner, took on tough cases and unapologetically promoted creative disruption. Now he wants his successor to do the same.

Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.
About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Hey everyone, I’m moving over to Substack, for obvious reasons. Here is my first, longer piece. On the HBC art auction happening today in Yorkville. Just in time for the Holidays - art that celebrates colonial oppression and the domination of Indigenous Peoples. substack.com/@tanyatalaga/no…

Fantastic idea from @AlisonLoat. I’ll throw Warlords into the mix. What a loss to Canada and the study of our history. Rest in peace Dr. Cook.
Very sad. In his honour I encourage everyone to buy and read at least one book of Cdn history. JDMS, I and many others can suggest titles but perhaps start with Cook’s The Fight for History. RIP.
This is devestating news for the history community in Canada and a huge loss for the country. Tim was a great historian and finer human. He will be severely missed.

Ken Whyte has a pretty savage analysis of the economic interests of the 'Elbows Up' book that people in/around the project will probably have to address. The post actually gets at sovereignty quite well, so I hope we can have this convo. Here is his post: shush.substack.com/p/an-elbo…

It's easy to forget, but nights like this remind you that these guys are human beings, too.
Good on Little for answering questions post-game. He deserves a ton of credit for that. #BlueJays
An emotional Brendon Little at his locker post-game:
“Obviously, it feels terrible. The whole game, they put us in a position to win. I came in and really couldn’t have pitched worse.” #BlueJays

An hour or so before 1st pitch of Game 162 & want to highlight, not the MVP, but the player who *embodies* the 2025 Blue Jays season: Ernie Clement
He's come up huge recently, but really, he's been productive all year.
