A reminder from Michael Ignatieff of the importance of communicating in a liberal democracy, even with people we strongly disagree with ideologically. Right or left, we have to find a way to co-exist. #canpoli
Re-posting important thoughts from former Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff: “Why the hell did we get to a situation in which hard working men and women in Canada felt so alienated that they had to shut down the capital of our country for three weeks? ... https://t.co/BPELHGDgVA

Heartfelt and eloquent tributes by @MarkJCarney & @PierrePoilievre but I was especially touched hearing @yfblanchet: "I hope you will allow me to make an exception today so that I can speak directly to the families and people in BC who have not all had a chance to learn French"

A truly remarkable video. Jamie Raskin tells US Attorney General Pam Bondi the truth: "You turned the people's Department of Justice into Trump's instrument of revenge." His list of facts against the US government is staggering. It is a dictatorship. https://t.co/fnETv5SMxZ

@GuntherEagleman I worked on this file. From one former spokesperson to another. With affection. And a red pen. Fact check time. Canada does not control what crosses the bridge. Customs and border enforcement are exercised by each country on its own side. Like every other border crossing on

Aww poor babies. Canada been to tough on you. Remember when you negotiated the best trade agreement ever? Then you realized how stupid you were. A country of 300 million doesn’t look tough threatening a country of 30 million: just desperate.

A video posted on President Trump’s Truth Social account portrays former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.
Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

Well said (Tyler and Harper).
I had the chance last night to attend the gala dinner honouring the Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper on the 20th anniversary of his first election as PM. I volunteered and campaigned hard against his governments so I am not here to litigate the past. But his speech last night was a

Met with @PierrePoilievre today. Canada’s new government is moving fast — and we need Parliament to move swiftly to deliver for Canadians. We’ve put forward bills to strengthen bail and sentencing laws, build up a stronger economy, cut costs for the middle class, and protect
