Patrick Brown 白龙

@Ben_oharabyrne Right... it's been too long. I'm in Beijing right now... could not resist a quick visa-free trip after some years of visa hassle. Interesting to be back.

@truthfromfacts Thanks Patrick. Hope to catch up soon

Spring is near, change is in the air. After more 4+ yrs hosting a national talk show on Corus, I’m heading back to TV news to be Global BC’s Legislative Reporter/Anchor. A privilege to join such a great team. Thanks to all who tuned in and 1000+ guests who shared their time

I'll be in Beijing March 11-21, if anyone would like to connect.

@JSchool_CU Safe travels, Elly. Wherever you end up, be sure to let us know what's going on.

Tributes to Carleton's longest-serving journalism professor Elly Alboim continue. Obituaries were posted today in The Globe and Mail theglobeandmail.com/canada/article… The Hill Times hilltimes.com/story/2026/02/…. We encourage you to share your memories of Elly online: cusjc.ca/EllyAlboim/

@DullClayCutter @dennyluan @BryanVanNorden Highly recommended.

@dennyluan Yeah, I have about 350 pages of notes and phrases copied from the Hanfeizi hahahaha. There are some books that can give you an introduction into classical Chinese like "Classical Chinese For Everyone:A Guide For Absolute Beginners" by @BryanVanNorden

Facebook notification made me realize I started learning Chinese 8 years ago to the day. I am nowhere near at the level I'd want or should be, as most of that was self-study, but I can read and translate《西湖梦寻》. That alone makes me want to uncontrollably sob with joy. 😭

A couple of Canadian journalists (myself included) have started a fundraiser for local Tumbler Ridge journalist Trent Ernst. Since the shooting, he's stopped writing. We're hoping to get him some short-term support for these hard times. Donate here: gofundme.com/f/support-tren…

@TheEsteemedFox Translators deserve credit. In this case @chowleen.bsky.social

@CBCChrisBrown @CBCTheNational @YouTube Nice one, Chris.

@Ben_oharabyrne Well said, Ben.

really impressed with many politicians this week. You can’t bluff that kind of raw emotion and heartfelt words. The unity may not last but it’s nice to see when it truly matters. Don’t imagine Liz May and Pierre Poilievre will hug often, but that’s the kind of week it’s been.

@VancouverSun Congratulations, Kim!

This is pretty amazing. Use your translate function if you don't read Chinese (or if your classical Chinese isn't up to snuff — guilty). First search up "Eight-Legged Essay" and, if you're not familiar, "Trolley Problem."

@MoragMitchell3 Accurate on Trump, smug on the wisdom and discernment of "British sensibility". Remember Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage?

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, 2/

I just read this on Facebook: Someone asked "Why do many British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response: 1/

@tongbingxue Great image. Thank you. When and how was the picture taken?

This is not a computer chip! It's actually an aerial view of the Forbidden City, in Beijing, China. Constructed in 1420, during the early Ming Dynasty, it is China's best-preserved imperial palace, and the largest ancient palatial structure in the world.

@IAPonomarenko Use Control Panel for Twitter.
