Finished the 80 km Sulphur Springs trail race this weekend. Physically and mentally the hardest thing I’ve done. Still processing it, but grateful. For now, happy to sit still for a bit.

Let’s call it a tradition. Since we moved back to Milton, my daughter made it her mission to leave her poppy at the cenotaph “for the veterans.” Dance ran late tonight, but she still wanted to stop. Proud Canadian, prouder dad. 🇨🇦

It was a magical ride with all of you. Our city, our home, our fans showed up on the grand stage...and we couldn't be prouder.

This Blue Jays playoff run has caused me to reflect so much on the things I love about this city. Sportsbetting apps, the Ring of Fire, Roger’s telecom services of various kinds, the Toronto Dominion Bank, Skip the Dishes. The things that make a great team, a great city, possible

In 2023 I told @ziannlum in @politicoottawa’s Playbook I was leaving politics “for family.” It’s a line you hear a lot. This time, it was actually true. First-day school drop-offs. Both kids, same elementary school I went to. Full circle.

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy
