Congratulations Bob. Well deserved as you join a formidable pantheon of Canadians receiving Pearson Peace Medal of @UNACanada Both you and your father, Saul, built on Canada’s meaningful contributions to #UN.
Was very honoured to hear this news. The Pearson family and my own have been linked for nearly 90 years, and this brings the circle even closer. ttps://www.unac.org/bob-rae-recipient-of-the-pearson-peace-medal-2026/

Canada needs a full ban for online gambling ads. It’s like smoking. It’s awful for people’s health. How the open robbery of young men’s money became government policy is perverse. See below by @DrGorfinkel

Let me bring some clarity to this: In June 2025, UCP Cabinet Minister tipped me off that Danielle Smith was actively collaborating with separatists on filing of a petition under soon to be custom drafted rules for them. This prompted me to preempt them under the existing rules.
WOW! The Rath texts are real. Smith colluded with the separatists. Confirmed by Dani in the legislature today. And while she tried to spin them as just answering questions, she also makes it clear the texts weren't meant for Lukaszuk. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

La lettre du premier ministre du Québec aux représentants de l’UE contient des éléments extrêmement préoccupants. Leur posture n’avance en rien ni les intérêts du Québec ni la doctrine de l’ancien ministre libéral Paul Gérin-Lajoie. Pascal Paradis est peut-être le négociateur en chef du Québec, mais il n’est pas le chef du gouvernement. Sa présence ne peut compenser le refus du premier ministre de participer au sommet ni son incapacité à saisir les fondements des relations internationales. Si la politique s’exerce par le biais de déclarations publiques, la diplomatie, elle, repose sur des conversations et des relations humaines ; des échanges qui ne se cultivent pas derrière un podium, mais en coulisses ou autour d’une table. En politique, on s’adresse aux gens ; en diplomatie, on échange avec eux. Le gouvernement du Parti québécois a essuyé un échec cuisant lors de sa première incursion sur la scène internationale - et ce, en sol québécois, sur des enjeux et avec des partenaires clés, pour défendre les intérêts du Québec et le développement de ses marchés internationaux. Alors que les autres chefs de gouvernement, tant du Canada que de l’Europe, répondront « présent », le premier ministre du Québec, lui, devra assumer son absence. #plq #assnat #polqc
Une lettre ne remplace pas une présence à la table. Le premier ministre dit vouloir rencontrer les dirigeants européens, mais refuse de participer au sommet Canada–UE qui se tient chez nous. La diplomatie exige de bâtir des relations et de saisir les occasions de défendre nos intérêts. Pas de bouder parce qu’on n’a pas de micro. Nos partenaires seront à table. Le premier ministre du Québec, lui, laissera sa chaise vide. Je le répète : être absent, c’est être perdant. Quel manque de leadership. #PLQ #PolQc #AssNat

Standing corrected!
Yesterday was UN Day, and this was probably the quote you heard most in speeches or saw on social media. It has been repeated so often that it has become a cliché. I also happen to have a couple of issues with it… 🧵 #UNhistory

Why is today #UNDay? | The Charter of the United Nations is the founding document of the UN. It was signed on 26 June 1945, in San Francisco, at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization, and came into force on 24 October 1945. un.org/en/about-us/un-charte…

Every loss of life is a tragedy. Canada has done so much to help us protect lives in Ukraine, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to Prime Minister @MarkJCarney and all Canadians following the explosion and fire at the military base in Wainwright. Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those lost, and we wish a swift recovery to the injured.

So terribly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
A rare and profound piece of storytelling about the rare and profound life of a Norwegian wanderer who traversed the sub-Arctic in Canada as an frontier explorer. Absolutely extraordinary in every way. It will transport you. Make time. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

#NextUNSG | The new UN leader will inherit an organization that is starved of funds, weighed down by accumulating mandates that have fragmented its focus, and worryingly inconsistent in delivering its core priorities. envoymag.com/opinion/the-yea…

Attn should be paid 👇🏻
“Nobody is very clear what happens if the secretary general's chair is empty on January 1,” said Mr Gowan. “I don't think Guterres wants to stay on even one more day and he is not going to volunteer to be a lame duck indefinitely,” Mr Gowan said. thenationalnews.com/news/us/…
