This post, one of Catherine's last handful, exemplifies so much of what animated her life: a respect for truth and an indefatigable, unapologetic urge to speak it. She spent not a single day being anything other than unbossed, unbought, and unbowed...

Politics has been pretty dismal lately. The election of @GregFergus as speaker and @WabKinew as premier in Manitoba is a good reminder that the haters and the cynics don't always win. In fact, in the end, they lose. This is a great day for Canada and democracy.

Sir, since you seem to struggle with this basic concept, let me break it down for you: Zelenskky's clothes are intentional symbolism. A country and its leader under immediate and existential threat from a tyrannical force have no time for suits and neckties. (thread)

Canada is huge, with two official languages, no strong national myth, enormous geographic differences. Why should we have one unifying culture? And are they really helpful? I think if you look at history, you would find they are often artificial, propagandistic constructions.

I usually preface a post with an excerpt from what I post, but every word of this breathtakingly beautiful and profound essay by the great retired Justice Rosie Abella of Canada is so perfect that I can’t bring myself to do anything but say: please read ⬇️ washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

🧵THREAD: Hearing @premierbhiggs on @CBCNews was deeply painful for me. And it’s personal. I grew up in his neighbourhood. I went to school with his children. I spent my school years gripped with self-doubt and self-hatred, in part, because of my sexual orientation. 1/7

I’ve discovered, in my eight years as MP, that Parliament is the last place to go for open, honest, and logical debate on firearms. My experience with #C21 has been no different, on and off the #SECU committee. So let me start a short thread on some of my thoughts on the matter:

Calling someone "woke", and thinking it's an insult, is an indictment on the character of the person causally throwing around that word. I don't think I want to associate with someone who thinks that being alert to social and racial injustices in society - and actually wanting…
