This is a song I’ve sung to Jaden since he was a baby. Several years ago, he started to sing along with me.
People ask me all the time, “Does Jaden communicate with you?” The answer, of course, is yes. He just has his own mysterious and incredibly beautiful language. ❤️

Reminder that Canada under the Harper government *did* raise the OAS eligibility age.
Had Trudeau not reversed this courageous reform, we would be spending $11 billion less on OAS by 2029, according to the PBO.
When OAS was created in 1952, the benefit began at age 70. Life expectancy was 68, and the ratio of workers to retirees was 8 to 1.
Eligibility is now at 65, with life expectancy at 81, and the ratio of workers to retirees down to 3 to 1.
The current system represents a massive, unjust intergenerational transfer of wealth which is obviously unsustainable.

I’m delighted to share that “Here For Canada: Memoirs of the 22nd Prime Minister” is now officially released. It was an honour to serve our country, the best country in the world, with an incredible team of colleagues and I am pleased to share my account of those years.

🎯 All I hear in that recording is a fellow human being exhibiting incredible strength in utterly incomprehensible circumstances.
As a former Marine and police officer, I’ve seen people freeze or fall apart under pressure. I listened to 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha on Learjet N722BD as it dove at over 20,000 feet per minute in an overspeed. She never stopped transmitting clear, critical information even though she had to know she was going to die. That young co-pilot stayed on the radio to the end. Most people twice her age wouldn’t have.
Quickly scanning the list, I believe that, when Gretzky had the same number of points as McDavid has now, he was already #10 on the all-time scoring list.

When a vulnerable child goes missing, every second counts.
Parker Wells' tragic story exposed a gap in Canada's emergency alert system.
Calgary mom Jen Ball and MP Mike Lake are fighting to close that gap with Indigo Alerts.

Setting aside all other arguments, the time zone changes taking effect today will serve to bring Canada more closely together time-wise. I feel like that’s an under-appreciated outcome. 🇨🇦

This is how you do it. ⬇️
Congratulations to Jennifer Whiteside on being named Interim Leader of the BC NDP.
I sat across the floor from her for a long time and she is a serious person who works hard for the people she represents.
A good opposition makes for a better government, and I expect her to hold us to account while we get to work delivering what we promised British Columbians.
Appreciate where the @BlueJays landed on this! 😄

😄 You could do a powerful long-form mindset masterclass on this guy’s media availabilities since just the start of this season.
"I've just been in a consecutive state of flow. Even when I go home. I go home and I'm not really thinking about much. I'm just reading with my rabbit and not thinking about much."
Devin Cooley speaks with @BParkerTV about where his state of flow is both on and off the ice.

Rocked it, @katy_merrifield. 👊🏻 Never had a doubt you would. Well done! 😊
