What an unexpected surprise and honor!! It truly means a lot to me to receive this award by the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians. You have my word that I will continue reporting without fear or favor on Canada's pressing health-care issues.

Il y a quatre chiffres étonnants dans le sondage Léger de cette semaine: 31% des péquistes ne voteraient pas pour la souveraineté. Souveraineté ou le pouvoir ? 22% des caquistes ne trouvent pas que F.Legault est le meilleur PM. Première fissure ? 73% des Solidaires ne sont pas souverainistes. Vive l'assemblée constituante ! Seulement 5% des francophones voteraient pour le PLQ. Un chef et vite !

What has happened to the quality of service for the medical insurance program at #canadalife - does anyone know? It seems to have really deteriorated in the past few months.

@BrianKappler @nspector4 MPs need to serve 6 years to get a pension. He was elected in 2017 so he’s got that now and doesn’t need to support JT anymore for purely financial reasons. Plus the deal with JT has helped build his public profile and that may pay off later for him with board appointments, etc

Le Québec doit honorer son engagement de 1997 ledevoir.com/opinion/idees/… Les promesses faites par le govt du QC concernant le contrôle et la gestion des écoles anglophones doivent guider l'interprétation de l'art. 23 de la Charte au QC #polqc #polcan

TVA’s LCN aired the new cabinet ministers taking their oaths in both Eng and Fr while the CBC News Network imposed Eng simultaneous translation over the Fr. Surprising given the CBC gospel of diversity and inclusion? #cdnpoli

Random fun fact! A drop of water that enters Lake Superior in the west, will take 173 years to reach Lake Huron. From there, it takes another 29 years to reach the ocean. So, a drop of water entering the ocean now, first reached Lake Superior around 1819.

This is midtown Manhattan today. Whole blocks of empty storefronts. Thousands of small businesses destroyed because of lockdowns.

Es Con Field in Hokkaido, Japan. Home to the Nippon-Ham Fighters, the stadium’s roof was open for a game for the first time today. It’s of the world’s most beautiful pro baseball parks & seats 35,000 in a market similar in size to Montreal. Dreaming about have this in our town.
