The @ontarioliberal.bsky.social party has announced that @bonniecrombie.bsky.social will resign the leadership upon the selection of a successor. She got 57% support in a review & evidently decided that wasn't enough to continue. Yesterday was a happy day for Crombie. Today, very different #onpoli

Thanks to the @townofaurora.bsky.social & the Public Library for a wonderful welcome on Sunday. Bruce Dowbiggin & I regaled the crowd with our stories (pretty sure no one fell asleep) while @Andrew Applebaum ably steered the ship. We'd love to do this again. Ask us!

I've been talking foreign affairs with Zach Paikin for years. Now that I've got @thepaikinpodcast.bsky.social, I figured we may as well let you in on the convo too, along with Janice Stein. Have a listen:

What a sad, sad day in Canadian politics. Marc Garneau was 1 of the most extraordinary people ever to put his name on a ballot. What a highlight when he came on @tvotoday.bsky.social 8 months ago to discuss his memoir. www.tvo.org/video/marc-g... #cdnpoli #MarcGarneau @liberalca.bsky.social

Saw a wonderful musical production tonight at the CAA Theatre. If you love the song American Pie (and who doesn't), this show's for you. Superb story-telling getting inside a song whose lyrics we've been trying to figure out for years. Enjoy! @mirvish.bsky.social
