This is the most important, most brilliant, and most well written thing you could read today. If you’re an Albertan, or a Canadian, and read nothing else, fine. Just read this. Goodness me. Every word. readtheline.ca/p/clarke-ries-…

Imagine that. Turns out you can’t lawfully hold a referendum on whether to take something that isn’t yours: like land covered by treaties, or the sovereign territory of Canada.

Welcome back to Canada, President @BarackObama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.

This story neatly encapsulates the Trump years: the Transportation Secretary, a former Fox host, takes seven months off work to drive across America, family in tow, for a reality show, sponsored by the companies he regulates, and no one notices or cares. cnn.com/2026/05/09/pol…

@DuaneBratt Ridiculous!!! Good grief!!!

What a headline!

@mcclusk I agree 100%!!!

On Steve Simmons... I have no issue with the premise of his question, asked cordially. For example: "Based on my research, it seems John Chayka's a polarizing figure around the league. In fact, most of the people I talked to were surprised by your decision to hire him. Can you elaborate on your due diligence process and share your perspective on the incidents which led to punishment from the league?" I mean, that's a heater as written. I have an issue with calling John Chayka a liar and a con man, as corroborated by 19 of 20 anonymous sources. I have an issue with an experienced journalist hijacking the press conference, turning it into a spectacle about an uncommonly explosive question. Especially in this setting. I think it's a disservice to the staff and the fan base. The biggest issue I have, though, is that he directed the question to Keith Pelley. John Chayka is sitting right next to him. If you want to call the guy a liar and a con man, at least have the courtesy to say it to him directly. The problem is... it's a lot like when a Karen starts an argument with an employee at a Best Buy. Karen has no obligation to conduct herself in any particular way - she's free to fly off the handle. The employees are wearing a uniform. There are customers in the store. They don't have the same luxury. It's a gutless exchange. Par for the course from Steve Simmons.

@TaraSlone I completely agree, Tara. I am really disappointed with some of the responses to your post. People seem to think a reporter has to be nasty in order to ask tough questions. Not so. Simmons was shockingly unprofessional in this case. So distasteful!

I am all for asking the difficult questions when necessary. But there is a way to address hard topics without being so nasty and offensive. You want to spout off like that, save it for your column. Unconscionable behavior IMO.

@WhiteHouse Somewhere, George Orwell is watching this and thinking, I may have been too subtle.

@VancityReynolds @Wrexham_AFC @WrexhamFX @RMcElhenney It is freakin unbelievable what you and Rob have accomplished with this team in such a short period! More importantly, you have revived the city of Wrexham and inspired a generation! You will realize your dream of reaching the Premier League all in good time. Onward & Upward! ❤️‍🩹

I am completely gutted by today’s result but incredibly proud of our season. We’ve come a long way in five years and this was the best result in our 150+ year history. More to do. But for now, we have so much to be proud of, Reds.

@LucasSa56947288 Yes!

Should CNN fired Scott Jennings immediately? (A: Yes (B: No

RETWEET if you stand with Jimmy Kimmel against Donald Trump!

Something is very wrong with our neighbour.

I can't believe we're even having this conversation: In the last ten years, NOBODY has engaged in more violent political rhetoric than Donald Trump.

@michaeljknowles Oh please!!! Just stop with this nonsense! You have all lost your way and many of you have sold your souls. Trump is responsible for much of the political violence in the US through his horrible, careless rhetoric. Get a grip!

Kimmel should obviously be fired.

@Olivia_Reingold The level of narcissism you are displaying here is off the charts. YOU are not the news. Real journalists would film and document what is going on around them in a situation like this. What a sad generation.

Terrifying—a few ground shaking knocks by my seat at White House Correspondents Dinner, unclear if shooting. I am ok, we are trying to exit now.

@kaitlancollins Oh please!!!

“I fought like hell to stay,” Trump says of the dinner.

@KeeganMatheson I have no words…

Grand slam, D-backs. Jeff Hoffman just loaded the bases and gave up the big blow here in the 8th. Single, Single, Walk, Grand Slam. The #BlueJays are down, 6-2, one inning away from their fourth straight loss.

This is my favorite scene from The Bible.

@AdamKinzinger What has happened to us?

I’ve just learned about this guy. We live in a really stupid time.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
