Former Canada Prime Minister Jean Chrétien: "I have message for American friends...never mistake our generosity for weakness. Never mistake our tolerance for lack of determination. And never, never mistake our kindness for softness...We bow to no one." Jean Chrétien is an absolute gem 💎❤️🇨🇦

2026 First day of high school in Toronto. I asked two of my classes if anyone had been to the States this past summer. I got no hands. I then asked them if any of them had ever been to Buffalo in the past to go shopping and about half the hands went up. 🇨🇦 Ain't going to 🇺🇲 anymore!

It was a moment for #Spain’s #WorldCup football team to receive accolades well earned. As players crossed the stage for trophies and medals, they received congratulatory hand shakes and applause from #PMCarney, #PresidentScheinbaum, #PresidentTrump. Some more enthusiastic than others. #cdnpoli

Driving around Toronto, seeing the flags on the cars. This time I am seeing way more with two flags, 1 Canadian and 1 other. It used to be only 1, from another country.

Buffalo sports radio this morning is not optimistic. They said: -Habs are physically intimidating the Sabres. -Greenway should have fought at the end of game 2. -Habs PP looks like it has 5 Patrick Kanes on it -Dobes is crazy. So basically the Habs are dominating! Sounds good to me! Go Habs Go!

With all these threats from the president of completely destroying an entire civilization, I think it's important that we put a face to who these people are. It's important that we humanize somebody before we bomb them. Who can do that than @ricksteves.bsky.social. I can't think of anyone better.
