Canadians sure ♥️ maple syrup and it's no surprise that 🇨🇦 is the world's largest producer, so we’d be remiss if we didn’t celebrate #MapleSyrupDay!
After all, it's the perfect topping on pancakes, waffles, French toast, roasted vegetables, fruit, bacon, oatmeal, yogourt...

UPDATE: With a unanimous council vote last night, Vancouver becomes the first Canadian city to move to decriminalize drugs for personal use — in the midst of an overdose crisis that has killed 1,386 people in B.C. this year. Follow @moirawyton and @jenstden for more.
After Oregon’s recently approved plan to decriminalize simple possession and impose fines and treatment for people found carrying, Vancouver staff say they don’t want to see such measures here.

Bitcoin has no role in institutional or retail investors portfolios. It is not a currency: not an unit of account, not a scalable means of payment & is a highly volatile store of value. It is heavily manipulated: look at the investigation of Bitfinex by US law enforcement. 1/n

My memoir, A Promised Land, is out today. I hope you’ll read it. My goal was to give you some insight into the events and people that shaped me during the early years of my presidency. Most of all, I hope it inspires you to see yourself playing a role in shaping a better world.
