I bet most people can’t identify this. Can you?

There is this simple but powerful story about an encounter between Pope Francis and a member of the Pontifical Swiss Guard. It was just days after his election as the Pope. A Swiss Guard was standing at his post for long hours, as required by duty. Pope Francis noticed him and, instead of just walking past, he stopped and asked if he had eaten. The guard replied that he had not yet had the chance. The Pope then personally went and got a seat for him and ensured that food was brought to him and encouraged him to take a break and eat. Such an encounter showed the person of Francis - human, attentive, simple, humble, and caring.

The POW Who Kept His Promise to the Kaiser. In 1914, British Captain Robert Campbell of the East Surrey Regiment was severely wounded and captured by German forces just weeks into World War I. For two long years, he languished in the Magdeburg prisoner-of-war camp, completely cut off from his family. In late 1916, Campbell received devastating news: his mother in England was dying of cancer. Desperate to see her one last time, he took a wildly improbable shot in the dark. He wrote a personal letter directly to Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, begging for a brief compassionate leave. Astonishingly, the Kaiser personally granted the request. The German leader offered Campbell two weeks of leave to visit his dying mother in Kent, on one single condition. Campbell had to give his "word as a British officer" that he would voluntarily return to the enemy prison camp when the fortnight was up. Campbell traveled across war-torn Europe by boat and train, reached his family home in Gravesend, and spent a precious final week with his mother before she passed away. He then did the unthinkable: he kissed his remaining family goodbye, packed his bags, and traveled right back to Germany. Honoring his word, Captain Campbell walked directly back into the Magdeburg POW camp and surrendered himself to his captors. He spent the next two years imprisoned until the war finally ended in 1918, proving that for some men, honor holds far more weight than freedom.

I had the privilege of attending the Ontario Police College Basic Constable graduation. It was a great event, and I only wish more people could see firsthand the level of diversity, dedication, and talent coming into policing in our province. These new recruits represent the very best of Ontario, and I’m incredibly proud of their commitment to serve and protect our communities. Thank you for choosing this path of service. Wishing you all the very best as you begin your careers.

SO FAR NO ONE HAS FOUND THE WORD IN THE BOX. You deserve $850,000 if you can

Ontario’s energy future is being built by the best skilled trades workers in the world. From on-time and on-budget nuclear refurbishments to the first SMR in the G7, to opening 30 new mines over the coming decade, the Carpenters’ Regional Council is helping deliver the power and resources our province depends on. We are working together to forge a pipeline of talent to build the mines and energy that will keep our economy strong.

Wishing a Happy Nowruz to the Persian community from the son of Persia, @MichaelParsa. Many families in Iran will enter the new year with heavy hearts, yet remain hopeful for a free and democratic future. Nowruz stands as a powerful reminder of resilience, courage, and hope for brighter days ahead. #NowruzPirooz
