Canada lost a legend. Colleen Jones was beloved in Nova Scotia and across Canada as a giant in the world of curling.
She represented the best of Canadian sport and the Canadian spirit.

I don't normally have much time for floor crossers but I have a lot of respect for MP Chris d'Entremont. He was one of the few non-toxic members of Poilievre's Conservatives.
He was by far the best speaker in last session's toxic parliament.
Good for you Chris.

Now it's 70% owned by ExxonMobil.
