My dad was my best friend. We could finish each other's sentences, and we spoke every day of my life about business, politics, life, and most importantly, family.
He passed away last night (Nov 12th) with all of us at his side. Until the last minute, he worked with us on everything from his obituary, to what he wanted at his funeral, and how we can keep his legacy alive (including our strong PEI roots in Georgetown and beyond).
He was the healthiest person I knew, active for 3 hours a day through his late 70s until a sudden AML leukemia diagnosis this spring rocked our lives.
My dad fought so hard throughout this battle, and he never complained. The nurses would ask him how he was doing and he would smile, compliment their "terrific" work, and ask them about their lives.
Late in the summer, the chemo started to work so we had him home with us on PEI where we enjoyed many wonderful days. Unfortunately, this past Friday, things took a turn for the worse and we rushed from our home in Toronto to be by his side. The leukemia had returned with a vengeance, and the chemo was no longer working.
I am grateful that we had six extra (and often tough) months with him thanks to modern medicine and phenomenal healthcare teams in both Toronto (@Sunnybrook) and on the Island (@QEHFoundation).
Also, more than 50 blood transfusions kept him alive throughout this time and gave him more better days than worse (thank you @CanadasLifeline - if you can donate, please do).
My dad's funeral is this Saturday, which will be a celebration of his incredible life. I look forward to sharing more about him, but it will undoubtedly be the toughest speech of my life because you couldn't possibly sum up what he meant to me and so many others in such a short amount of time.

Exactly 80 years ago, Anne Frank and her family were arrested by the Nazis and deported. This sad anniversary was marred by antisemites who painted the hands of Anne Frank’s statue in Amsterdam with red paint, along with the words "Free Gaza."
Anne Frank was not Israeli.
She was not a defender of Netanyahu’s government.
She was not for or against Palestinians.
She was a Jewish little girl who was killed along with her family because she was Jewish.
Using her memory to protest a conflict that didn't even exist when she was alive is despicable and, yes, antisemitic.

Tomorrow will mark a milestone in my career and a huge moment in my life.
I came to Toronto as a teenager with braces eyes set on a goal I dreamed was possible but not sure if it would ever happen— to host a national TV show.
After more than 20 years in the industry, many cities and a lot of hard work — tomorrow 'Canada Tonight: with Travis Dhanraj' launches.
To everyone has supported me on this journey and to those that came before, thank you. I stand on your shoulders.
To the amazing team behind me that will drive this show forward I know how much work this is and appreciate each of you. We are going to do big things. Tune in every week night from 7-9pm ET or stream on YouTube and Gem.
Let's gooooo!

call for their resignations.
Rep. Elise Stefanik@RepStefanik
At yesterday’s @EdWorkforceCmte hearing, presidents from America’s “elite” institutions refused to answer basic questions about the flow of foreign money into their universities. This is unacceptable and just another reason why the House must pass the DETERRENT Act, which brings much-needed transparency, accountability, and clarity to foreign gift reporting requirements for colleges and universities.

Astounding, shameful and so enlightening as to why campuses have become a hotbed of anti-Semitism. They should all resign.
Bill Ackman@BillAckman
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism: Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment? The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth. Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again. In short, they said: It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews. This could be the most extraordinary testimony ever elicited in the Congress, certainly on the topic of genocide, which to remind us all is: “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” The presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership. Don’t take my word for it. You must watch the following three minutes. By the end, you will be where I am. They must all resign in disgrace. If a CEO of one of our companies gave a similar answer, he or she would be toast within the hour. Why has antisemitism exploded on campus and around the world? Because of leaders like Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth who believe genocide depends on the context. To think that these are the leaders of Ivy League institutions that are charged with the responsibility to educate our best and brightest. On the bright side, our congressional leaders deserve accolades for showing tremendous leadership and moral clarity in their statements, by the questions they asked, and the respectfulness with which they conducted the hearing. It was a masterclass of how our government and democracy should operate. If you have time, please watch the entire hearing. Throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer.
