Those who questioned the integrity of Sam Nicholson owe the boy an apology. The @MotherwellFC player swore on his kids life that the ball didn’t strike his hand. This new video clip is the clearest evidence of that. I’m looking at you @shebahn @chris_sutton73

Heart of Midlothian is on the verge of breaking four decades of dominance by Celtic and Rangers with one of the most improbable campaigns Scottish soccer has ever seen. on.wsj.com/4dlgnlq

I don’t want Hearts to win the league i think that’s pretty clear but even i have sympathy for them tonight. Genuinely that last minute pen for Celtic is poor and if i’m a Hearts fan,player or coach (or Motherwell for that matter) I’m fuming at that. You have to be 💯 sure with that big a call.

What a shock! @CelticFC get a controversial penalty in the 10th minute of extra time! This is unheard of! I would never have expected it!

Seriously that is never a handball at Fir Park. The boy headed it 20 yards. The ref takes one look after VAR calls him over. Embarrassing for Scottish football.

I'm thrilled to say I'll be taking on a new position as Bloomberg's Ottawa bureau chief, though also daunted at having to succeed the indefatigable @ldhillonkane. This bureau is such a strong team and I can't wait to keep elevating our work higher.

No good projects went ahead faster with C-69. Only two were approved in six years. Capital fled. There were protests across western Canada. The Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional. The seeds for the Alberta separatist movement were planted. I will be accepting no revisionism.

@IvisonJ @acoyne We know the truth, John. You’ve always been a secret dipper. It’s all there if you read between the lines.

This is terrific - one Conservative-supporting idiot accuses me of being a Liberal shill; his equally dim Liberal counterpart says I am a dyed-in-the-wool Conservative. A perfect Goldilocks moment in #cdnpol
JD Leslie@JDLeslie9

@626_Productions @IvisonJ Pick one article and show me where he doesn’t loose it on the CPC in a story about Liberal failure or corruption. Libs are lonely living on the top of the mountain with the burden of always being correct and above everything and everyone!

I'm sorry, but this is simply lovely, and I've no time for those who'll inevitably sneer at it as "Paddingtonism", or whatever. Like it or not, this is the version of Britain most British people identify with. Good on his M the K for participating, too.

Hi. A bit of professional news to share: today is my last day at the Financial Post. I’ve loved this gig and am very grateful to my editors, colleagues, sources and 💕readers💕 for the encouragement/criticism/pageviews over the past four years. More on what’s next soon.

Happy 86th birthday to Irwin Cotler. Victory in Europe Day landed on his fifth birthday and he thought the people of Montreal were celebrating for him.
