'One minute after the hour. All guns silent.'
At 11am on 11 November 1918, the guns fell silent on the Western Front. This document from IWM's collections visualises the silence, showing artillery activity for one minute before and one minute after the Armistice.

Aujourd’hui, j’étais au Harbourfront Centre à Toronto en compagnie de la députée Chi Nguyen pour mettre de l’avant les investissements prévus dans le Budget 2026 en faveur des industries culturelles et créatives du Canada.
Ces investissements appuieront les artistes, créateurs et organismes culturels canadiens et contribueront à garantir que les histoires et le talent du Canada continuent de rejoindre le public ici et partout dans le monde. 🇨🇦

Happy 5th birthday to #DetectorDog Chippy in #CBSA's Atlantic Region! This good boy detected 4 restricted handgun & over a dozen restricted magazines at the border this year. Join us in wishing him another paw-some year of keeping Canadians safe!

Gordon Lightfoot 🎩🪄 The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
51 years ago today, November 10th, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank in Lake Superior, taking all 29 crew members with her.
Gordon Lightfoot immortalized this tragic maritime disaster in one of the most haunting songs in music history.
The legend lives on. 🎶

A lot of people know Jennifer was a great journalist but she’s also a great leader and a fantastic person. I’ll be sad to see her go.

Aujourd’hui, j'ai visité la Banque alimentaire de Vaughan pour mettre de l'avant le Budget 2026, qui offre un soutien immédiat pour réduire le coût de l’épicerie et des produits essentiels, tout en renforçant le système alimentaire du Canada pour l’avenir.
Grâce à ces investissements, nous rendons la vie plus abordable pour les Canadiens et Canadiennes.

Today, at the Vaughan Food Bank, I highlighted how Budget 2026 is providing immediate support to lower the cost of groceries and essentials, while strengthening Canada's food system for the future.
Through these investments, we’re making life more affordable for Canadians. 🇨🇦

Do you recognize the people in this photo? It was taken 40yrs ago. The older lady is the former Democratic Governor of Texas Ann Richards. She was also the last lady and Democrat elected governor…until the girl on the right got elected Governor on Tuesday. Gina Hinajosa

I live in rural Atlantic Canada because I love the culture, the salt water, the people. I wish I'd moved back from Ontario sooner. But the region has big challenges. 2/x

I'm getting ratioed by racists for this tweet. It might help if I explain myself at greater length. Atlantic Canada has huge structural and demographic challenges. It is 40 per cent rural, compared with 17 per cent nationally. 1/x

Crucial new path being set out to help end homelessness, and game-changing new investments and action to get new homes built – both key parts of Canada’s new Budget 2026 🇨🇦👇

I don’t endorse mediocrity. Worked closely with @LeahGazan on Urban Rural Northern Housing Strategy. Constantly ran into Jenny Kwan trying to undermine success. At one point Kwan tried to eliminate accessibility standards for public housing. Bad faith politics creates bad policy
David Taylor retweeted
Spent a lot of time developing & delivering the National Housing Strategy in Parliament. The NDP is promising to deliver less, isn’t addressing homelessness, won’t fund cities directly, doesn’t understand inflation, or SOGR or deliver subsidies. They are pushing Ottawa to do less
David Taylor retweeted
The smart thing to do would be to focusing on homelessness. The NDP have access to housing experts. They’re just not in caucus.
It’s like trying to fight climate change by cutting the price of gas to make Transit free.
Lewis isn’t focused on system change. Just slogans/3

More than 40 years after Canadian athlete and activist Rick Hansen embarked on a historic world tour to promote inclusion and tackle barriers for people with disabilities, he says progress has been made but that there's still much more work to do. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/11/…
