Starting 2023 with a professional announcement. After almost 4 years on Parliament Hill, I will be leaving Minister @HarjitSajjan's office for new opportunities & challenges. It has been an honour to serve Canada, which has given so much to my family & me, in some small way.

Exciting news for #Ottawa! Air Canada just announced the return of non-stop flights from Ottawa (YOW) to London (LHR) starting Spring 2025. A big step forward for YOW and the Ottawa region, providing more opportunities for connectivity and economic growth.
London calling! We are resuming flights from @flyyow to @HeathrowAirport in the spring of 2025, with four weekly flights. This builds on previously announced service enhancements to the Nation’s Capital across Canada and sun destinations. Learn more: media.aircanada.com/2024-08-…

@Devin_Heroux thought you might find this intersting as the IOC is discriminating against new mothers, like myself. My wife and I have tickets for the Paris Olympic Games and will be bringing our newborn. Despite not needing a seat, they demand a full-price ticket for our newborn

Hopefully it'll prove more lucrative, and at least as comfortable, for the two Postmedia veterans (who have also published with the Star, Globe, Maclean's, the CBC, the Walrus, etc) that run it. Thanks to Greg for promoting our work. Like and subscribe! Readtheline.ca.
Is The Line like the Senate for former Postmedia staff?

I had the absolute honour to be able to watch Jody Thomas in action while I was Director of Comms at National Defence. She is one of the brightest people I have ever met. Canada is lucky for her dedicated service.

Until we admit that yes, this is who we are, it’s impossible to actually do anything about it

The next episode of @the_lineca podcast with myself and @jengerson will be out soon (maybe a bit earlier than normal, as I’m on the road this weekend). Are you signed up? No?! Why not get started with our sadly still depressingly relevant last episode? youtu.be/d5uyr2QgtKk?si=Qubz…

This is why the entire Polaris fleet is getting an upgrade. The CAF needs them, most of the fleet does air to air refueling or troop transport, and too be honest no Prime Minister should have plans disrupted cause the planes don't work. – at London, Ontario
