I wrote a new article, that’s published in the Financial Post today. The Math Problem Canada Needs to Solve financialpost.com/opinion/opinio…

Many pundits criticize the liberals for having no narrative. That they don't tell a story. Have a look at @coreyhoganyyc youtube page. He's consistently telling the story of Canada. He's an MP from Calgary. He's a parliamentary secretary & he gets it. youtu.be/RI5kP2Itoy8?si…

@MarkBourrie I wonder if "my" monarch has travelled there from Manitoulin Island. Great catch! Thanks for sharing.

It's the summer holidays, which means that I have **two copies** of Primary Reading Simplified to give away. Simply **retweet** this tweet for your chance to win a copy. I will pick two winners on Sunday 17th August. Good luck!

@ArfinNathaniel @dmacpher Is there any virtual option ?

Four hours to go. Get your ticket to the AGM tonight. ontarioliberal.ca/agm/

@Carolin73927687 @tombennett71 @MaryMyatt Would you share what they are and an example?

@tombennett71 Yup we created ours as a whole school and came up with three course values. These make up our behaviour policy and are used daily. As @MaryMyatt would say lived not laminated

Almost every school I go to has their values displayed everywhere in the form of a charming acronym formed in some torturous way to spell out SHARE or RESPECT or something. I focus group *lots* of groups of kids. Over 70% can’t even name those values. Posters and acronyms won’t move the behaviour needle a millimetre unless students are taught *specific* mandated behaviours that staff consistently and explicitly teach, insist upon, and praise. We learn abstracts by encountering concrete examples of the abstract. Nobody changed their habits because there’s a banner that says GROW in the foyer, no matter how big it is, or how many times they see it.

WATCH: Our final video of the campaign. This election isn’t just about politics — it’s about who we are, and the country we want to be. The stakes have never been higher. Stand up. Show up. Vote April 28 and move Canada forward. 🇨🇦 youtube.com/watch?v=OGccms…

@ajwimsatt Crested Caracara

Anyone know what this bird is

@David_Moscrop Works fine for me. 12:50 pm.

Come on, guys.

Just claim that because you're not a politician, you missed this call.

I was hoping I wouldn't be disappointed so soon.

I am Bridget Girard, the Liberal Candidate for Bowmanville-Oshawa North. I look forward to a robust campaign. My neighbours care deeply for our community & country. Together with PM Carney, we can offer a positive alternative to the same tired negativity liberal.ca/ridings/35008/

@profbenperrin @MarkJCarney Thank you for your positive analysis. So rare. Many are only focused on what the leadership team gets wrong.

PM @MarkJCarney's remarks about British, French & Indigenous heritage of Canada followed immediately by travel to UK, France & Nunavut is a political master class Simultaneously affirms our identity and focuses on a future distinct from chaotic Trumpism pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-r…

@MarkJCarney Congratulations Prime Minister Carney. I look forward to your leadership. #CanadaStrong

Canada, meet your new cabinet. We’ve built a smaller, focused, and experienced team that is made to meet this moment.

@mbdemers This is my legacy. You are my legacy.

We’ve fought hard to protect women’s rights in Canada. I have faith Canadians will keep that fight going, no matter what — because there’s no room to go back. Not now, not ever.

25 years residency in one location. No voter card arrived. My street didn't exist at the polling station. Had to "register". What is going on @ElectionsON #OntarioElection ????

Thanks for this Nate. Me too. Here is my eulogy to my parents who built a Canadian family. Let's fight for Canada together. jacbalen.wordpress.com/2019/06/17/bui…

@WabKinew Thank you. I’ve also started going through this site : madeinca.ca via @MadeinCanada4
