Felt fortunate to see Leopoldstadt in New York a couple years ago. Stoppard was a giant. Tom Stoppard, Award-Winning Playwright of Witty Drama, Dies at 88 https://t.co/U3E5OwWNPd via @NYTimes

Drawing comparisons to the greatest of dramatists, he entwined erudition with imagination in stage works that won accolades on both sides of the Atlantic.

Worthwhile read — sometimes a “win” is a loss. City council will now, insisting that is has done “something” decline to do anything meaningful to incentivize retail IN neighborhoods for quite some time. This is exactly the absence of leadership from the Mayor we do not need.
Nostalgia about neighbourhood retail is not a strategy, writes senior editor @JohnLorinc. The City's heavily compromised decision on neighbourhood retail may result in no new neighbourhood retail. #TOpoli

The Jays WS game 6 and 7 losses hurt, especially given how winnable they were and felt. Jays fans will be feeling those for a while. That said, this was easily their greatest season of my adult life, replete with incredible moments and stories. So much joy. So many memories.

I’m of a mind to give the PM a relatively wide berth in handling a series of genuinely tough challenges. But it gets difficult when we don’t know the why or the to what end of it. Apologies come to look like naive weakness. Project lists warmed over. Policy reversals reactive.

The politics of Prime Minister Carney’s government — particularly its engagement with the U.S., but international engagement and fiscal policy too, are opaque when Canadians need to know where their government is coming from and why. Time for the PM to share his strategy.

OK, I’m rocking this Blue Jays cap today! And I threw my ring in there for good measure in case we go extra innings!! OK go get em Jays!!🇨🇦🇨🇦!!

Agreed.
I see the blame Canada crowd is out in full force today. For them, it is a “provocation” to quote America’s greatest post war President articulating his life-long opposition to protectionism, and support for free trade. They’re deeply concerned that Donald Trump’s feelings have

Great piece in the Globe highlighting work my team did identifying a significant risk to the Canada’s build ambition. Carney’s building agenda could be hamstrung by labour shortages, Deloitte report says https://t.co/Pc2AqJahIg

The day the Red Sox traded Rafael Devers I didn’t think they’d be here.

Protecting and permitting expression that differs with one’s own view is table stakes in a free and democratic society. Shame on those who sought to shut down today’s pride parade in Ottawa. And shame on those who acquiesced.

Very impressive Blue Jays debut for Shane Bieber — shades of Stieb with that slider and that ‘stache.
