Hilary Weston’s Legacy

The generous gift offered by the Weston Family earmarked to improve the neglected state of Queen’s Park is on track to not only be wasted but also to destroy the serenity and respect the current park offers. Responsible, accountable maintenance is all that is needed.

Everybody seems to have seen the musical play, Hamilton, but me until tonight. Definitely not a fan of the music or the fantastical interpretation of history.

Why was PM Carney not in Washington with the so-called coalition of the willing? This is a bad sign for Canada as we contribute more per capita to Ukraine than France. Canadians need to wake up much more about the US threat to Canada, let alone Ukraine. Russia takes Europe, USA takes Canada.

With the most recent export tax on Nvidia and AMD chips to China Trump exposes the security fraud it portends due to the irrational and farmed public hatred for the CCP. CANADA needs to wake up and start full trading with China.

Shame on the CBC. Lori Anderson got more air time on The National tonight than Hilary Weston, a former Lt. Governor of Ontario and a major philanthropist. This is a betrayal of its mandate.

This article is an example of lazy reporting. The implied accusation against employers is that they have racist hiring preferences. The reporter provides data to support her thesis but her assumptions are incomplete and just plainly wrong.
He’s sent out 1,100 job applications — and still hasn’t been hired. Canada’s youth are facing rising unemployment rates
According to Statistics Canada, people age 15 to 24 are currently facing the highest unemployment rate outside of the pandemic since the mid-1990s.

Those interested in Canada-US relations should read Mitchell Sharp’s original 1972 article on the Third Option. It lays out our choices, including how “muddling through,” which Coyne leans towards here and which seems to be Carney’s strategy, will likely lead to inertia-driven deeper immigration.
Opinion: Hard line? Soft line? There may be no way of dealing with Trump that works
Carney is being accused of hypocrisy, having promised to stand up to the President on the campaign trail only to offer a series of concessions in office

U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra’s latest comments about Trump’s calling Canada the 51st state as a ‘term of endearment’ is insulting. It implies that Canada is not equally sovereign. Order him back to the USA. #Trump #Canada #Carney

This is a start. The City of Toronto requires REGULAR maintenance and thousands of Parks and Rec staff as the city is huge.
