I am so grateful for the civility tonight ❤️. #Toronto Watching Olivia Chow and Brad Bradford graciously wish each other well is refreshing in a world that is often too harsh, cruel, and divided.
Brad Bradford emerges with his wife, mother and one of his daughters. He wishes Chow well and says he wants her to succeed. “We all love this city. We know it can be better.” He urges the crowd to give her a round of applause.

As a medical student I never thought I would have to learn this much about architecture, design and development. But what would you have us to do when chronically unhoused patients live only half as long as the general public?

Somebody, somewhere in NYC for whatever reason recorded the New York 1 morning news broadcast on Sept. 11, 2001. They wound up recording history. It starts at 8:30 a.m. ET. You get 15 minutes of news from the Before Times. Then the world changes. youtube.com/watch?v=FH9bvzeF…

The activity you enjoy most is not your calling. It's your hobby. Careers aren't built solely on passion—they depend on making a meaningful contribution. Doing what you love is a luxury. Finding a purpose is a necessity.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Le nom du lac Ontario tire son origine du mot wendat « Ontari’io », qui signifie « le lac est beau, le lac est grand ». Ce nom remonte à plus de 400 ans, bien avant la Confédération canadienne et la Déclaration d’indépendance des États-Unis d’Amérique. Nous savons que les États-Unis sont en train de changer. Leurs relations commerciales, leur politique étrangère, leurs monuments nationaux, leurs hydronymes. Les Canadiennes et les Canadiens savent aussi qu’il faut appeler les choses par leur nom, et ce lac se nomme Lac Ontario – aujourd’hui et pour toujours.

Imagine living 80 years with so much goodness, grace and talent that no one has ever found a single bad word to say about you. RIP Dolly Parton.
The way Kenny Rogers’ whole face lights up the moment he hears Dolly Parton’s voice coming from offstage. I have always loved this performance so much.

There’s a lot we can learn from the way Dolly Parton saw people. She never seemed too interested in putting people into boxes. She was curious about people, embraced what made them different, and wasn’t afraid to be a little unusual herself. It’s a good reminder that we don’t have to agree on everything—or even have much in common—to appreciate each other. Her legacy is a pretty simple one: stay open, stay curious, and make room for people to be themselves.

The Tragically Hip wove the fabric of our country into their music.   Ten years on from their final concert, I was given the chance to reflect on what the Hip meant to Canada — and to Canadians.   Watch the full documentary: youtu.be/x7FZV5HdIpY?si=1FaU…
