Goaltender Carter Hart has agreed to join the Vegas Golden Knights, becoming the first of the five former world junior players to sign an NHL contract since their acquittal in a high-profile sexual assault case.

Apropos of something, I really don’t understand how anyone looks around in 2025 and decides that the path forward is unanimity on anything, let alone a master plan for a whole country.

Jen’s advocacy on this deserves recognition. Very important work.

Announcement from PM Carney moments ago and this is good news. I've been working on this issue with @saulschwartz.bsky.social and @agenestgregoire.bsky.social for years. We've documented how many Canadians don't file and miss out on or loose benefits, .. 1/3

If Trump wants to signs an EO on H-1Bs raising "the fee that companies pay to sponsor H1-B applicants to $100,000", we shld be making a play to get companies to set up shop up here to locate that talent.

That this needs to be said….

From my colleague: letting the FCC set itself up as some sort of Ministry of Truth would damage the First Amendment.

Canada isn’t the United States. Your administrative doesn’t get to dictate what we can and can’t say up here.

It was nice knowing you America. 🤷‍♂️

"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is I don't know." The guy who said that wants to be the guy who says the other side is the side stoking hate and violence.

Don’t celebrate political violence, even if you disagree with the politics.

Trump’s tacit admission last week that he’s lost India and Russia to China and N Korea and now Russia taunting the west with this is really not good.

Parliamentary nerdery at YOW.

Gobsmacking.

This has been a bit coming, but it is critically important: domestic vaccine production capacity. Right on.

I mentioned to a couple of people that I had a surprise waiting to be shared when Moderna got approval for its updated COVID-19 vaccine. It’s approved, and the big news??? Completely produced domestically!!!!! 🥳🤩 Approved as usual for all aged 6mo+!

A terrible assumption made in a lot policy/political punditry is to assess whether some decision or action has achieved an improved outcome in comparaison to the status quo, ignoring that the status quo may have gotten worse in the absence of said decision or action. 🤷‍♂️

The 14 yr old saying “Bruh, you literally got the thousand yard stare. Eat some yogurt” to the 15 yr old as he struggles with his spicy Raman is the best expression of concern/insult combo I’ve seen in a long time.

Shocking.
