Hey guys, it’s Ernie. Before the season starts, I had some thoughts for @BlueJays fans I wanted to share. Thanks for reading theplayerstribune.com/ernie-…
🟥 WOW ...
Happy International Women’s Day, Canada and the world! 👍🏼
This earnest message from Prime Minister Mark Carney, marking the occasion, is powerful:
“Because again and again, women have refused to accept a system that did not see you, hear you, or reflect you.”
The Metropolitan Opera has thrown shade Timothée Chalamet’s way after the actor said “no one cares” about the ballet or opera as reason why he doesn’t work in the fields.
“This one's for you, Timothée Chalamet...”
Earlier today in Sydney, a very at ease Mark Carney dropped an F bomb while recounting a story from when he was BoC governor in 2008 and he meet up with other central bankers in Basel, to drink very nice wine and deal with the financial crisis.#cdnpoli
Danielle Smith is expanding her book bans.
As we took a look last night, Smith is clearly expanding her restrictions on books to municipal libraries, but the word salad she served up when confronted didn't provide much clarity!

With speculation running rampant that Smith’s address will feature immigration heavily, it’s worth reupping this clip from just a couple of years ago…
Where she said she wanted 10 million people in Alberta by 2050.

I don’t believe I’ve heard so much complete bullshit out of anyone’s mouth, with the exception of Trump, than that of Pierre Poilievre. Its pages directly from Trump’s playbook. I simply do not understand what possesses people to support Poilievre. 🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🙄🤮
Legendary Canadian actress Catherine O'Hara, known for her iconic roles in Home Alone, Schitt's Creek and a variety of other movies and television shows, has died at the age of 71.
And there it is.
The Mark Carney Charm at its best and most powerful.
Because he's never been a politician before he can mock politicians as an outsider and get away with it in a way that's extremely funny. Like legit funny.
It's self-depricating on the surface...and yet it's not.
He's saying I'm not like them.
No other politician could do this like he can.
He's won over the entire room.
This is charisma defined:
We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️
Carney on Trump's remarks about NATO troops: "Thirty of our soldiers won the American Bronze Star for courage in combat. It's an extraordinary contribution for liberty, for freedom, for human rights, defending the US, defending Canadian values. Everyone should recognize that."
Sleep well friends of the #btposse today we lost a pal close to our hearts. Jock, from Piper’s 1st litter x’d the 🌈 bridge today. He had been Dx w/ diabetes ~ a year ago. He was doing well, despite going blind. He then became insulin resistant. Extra hugs today he was 10 ❤️🩹💔
German Chancellor Merz:
We have entered a time of great power politics.
This new world of great powers is being built on power, on strength, and when it comes to it, on force. It's not a cozy place.
We do not have to accept this new reality as fate. We are not at the mercy of this new world order. We do have a choice. We can shape the future.
To succeed, we must face harsh realities and chart our course with clear-eyed realism. Two days ago, Mark Carney said in this hall from this place, we must no longer rely only on the power of our values. We must also recognize the value of our power.
I share that view.
