As Colonel-in-Chief of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry I’m deeply saddened and concerned to hear the news coming from Wainwright. My thoughts and prayers are with all the soldiers, their families and friends.

We are in Calgary for Catherine Hoppers’ week long retreat on pluralistic societies. Catherine is a master at organizing people to produce original ideas!
Here’s a photo of a few of us.

So wonderful to see these Indigenous Elders who are old friends and have played such an important role in changing public policy by reinserting the Indigenous presence. We all owe them a great deal.

Gloria Steinem, with all her vitality, energy and purpose, has left us. I will never forget that she was the one that we all looked up to. Her hilarious article as a Playboy Bunny will never be forgotten!
Breaking News: Gloria Steinem, the feminist crusader who galvanized the modern women’s movement, challenged sexist assumptions and fought for gender equality, has died at 92. nyti.ms/4gS9EkV
My friend Lloyd Robertson has died. He was a most engaging and delightful companion & co-worker that I have ever known. Genuine in his friendship and generosity. I will miss him.
Like most Torontonians, I am thrilled that there will not be an expansion to the BBishop runway after the many $$ spent on the waterfront to make it a happy and liveable place, drawing thousands of people to live and play there. This decision is a good and considerate one!
We have everything at stake in the discussions about the Toronto Island Airport. The expansion of it must not go ahead! Watch the video for all the reasons why it is not a good idea... torealitycheck.ca/

Check out this Substack on soccer of which I have become an enduring fan!
Here is a good interpretation of the France-Spain game by Thomas Debost – new to Substack and a burgeoning sports commentator who knows Europe and North America well. You’ll enjoy his observations.

Adrienne and I were in Ottawa for the 25th anniversary of the unveiling of the Aboriginal Veterans Monument. Adrienne unveiled it when she was GG, so of course we were there for the anniversary along with Louise Arbour, today’s Governor General.

Getting ready to apply for the #GlobalPluralismAward? A good application is not just about describing good work. It shows impact, explains what makes the approach meaningful, and helps us understand how the nominee is advancing pluralism in practice.
As you prepare a submission for the 2027 Global Pluralism Award, focus on clarity, evidence and story: What has changed? Who has been affected? Why does this work matter?
Taking the time to build a thoughtful nomination can make all the difference.

Canada’s healthcare crisis isn’t about shortage, it’s about barriers.
While ERs close and wait times grow, thousands of internationally trained doctors, nurses, and lab techs are ready to help, but are locked out by red tape.

The Life Research Institute at the University of Ottawa is launching an innovative project to enhance the quality of life and optimize the wellbeing of solo retirees.
A solo retiree is someone who has never married/partnered, is separated, divorced, or widowed, or is currently living apart from a partner and has retired from full-time employment or is nearing retirement.
The first step is a national, bilingual study that will collect data from October 1, 2025, to November 15, 2025, followed by the release of findings and evidence-based resources.
The Team would like to invite solo retirees to participate in this exciting research by completing an online survey. The survey is available in English and French.

This is such an important story. It is not too late to rectify the destructive mistake made over Ontario Place.
