Quick fact context. Norway, a country of 5.6 million people, won 41 Olympic medals at the Milano Cortina games, 18 of them gold. The United States, a country of 350 million people, won 33 medals, 12 of them gold.

Exactly. In Canada we think of Mamdani as a normal slightly left-of-centre guy who could easily lead two of our mainstream federal parties.

His book, Jazz and its Discontents, has been a music bible for me for decades. A huge loss. RIP

I’m begging the #Ottawa pundit class to please just once care more about people in a tough spot than other people who feel uncomfortable about them. ottawacitizen.com/news/letter-...

We are also in a political/media environment in which the legacy media titles like the Globe and Mail still carry heft, but they are not where people in their 20s or even 30s turn to be politically informed. The people who run campaigns pay attention to the Globe and Mail. The people who vote don’t.

We are disappointed to learn of a report suggesting a one year delay in the introduction of a renoviction bylaw for Ottawa. We have clients whom we have housed, only to return to our shelter due to renovictions and bad-faith evictions. Vulnerable people cannot afford another year of delays. 🕒❌

It is shocking that politicians complained about this important work out of utter ignorance. More shocking that the film's TV premiere was cancelled. Shame on TVO, shame on Minister Freeland. Watch the damn film and let's discuss it - that's how democracy and free speech work.

Last year, the Canadian Medical Association Journal published an article on a scurvy case in Toronto. Scurvy is almost never in advanced countries like Canada. This year we learned of 27 more cases in the Lac La Ronge Indian Band in Saskatchewan.

It will be interesting how the right wing types fill hours of live TV with no one to blame…..but…themselves. Projection is next to impossible when you have full control.
