My heart is broken today. Lost the best little dog a person could have. RIP my Rosie, 2006-Christmas Night, 2018.

- This is so good. (Not entirely sure who to credit.)
- OK. I’ll say it: What’s so wrong about laughing at @realDonaldTrump? Here’s another view of *that* chat, from me, via @TorontoStar: thestar.com/politics/polit… #cdnpoli
- Ahem, Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer. That was a very good question on Canada and Trump's threats to this country, and with all respect, you blew the answer and threw us under the bus. Not feeling all that Commonwealthy right now. #cdnpoli
- I got nasty backlash from Conservatives for writing a year ago about Poilievre and his potential use of the notwithstanding clause. Going to put this right back up here today: thestar.com/politics/pierr… #cdnpoli
- "Premier of Canada"? A friend sent this to me today, saying the @nytimes should know better. Agreed.
- International diplomacy. It's like recess, but with nuclear weapons.Why would Kim Jong-un insult me by calling me "old," when I would NEVER call him "short and fat?" Oh well, I try so hard to be his friend - and maybe someday that will happen!
- To be clear, @realDonaldTrump is backing down on tariffs, in a big way. Just because he cloaks it in bully language doesn't make it any less of a climbdown. Keep going, Canada.
- The guys who put the #notwithstanding clause in the Charter -- Chretien, Romanow and McMurtry -- are not at all happy about how @fordnation is using it. The @TorontoStar just got their statement. Read those last two lines! #cdnpoli #onpoli
- "They fought WWII with us and we appreciate it," @realDonaldTrump says of Canada. Ahem. Wee reminder: Canada was in that war two years before the U.S. entered it. #cdnpoli #cmon
- Then again, it takes real courage to leave a meeting early and yell at the hosts afterward via Twitter. #cdnpoliPM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!
- I'm old enough to remember a time when a newly elected PM would give a news conference to Canadian journalists before doing interviews with foreign journalists.Newly-elected Canadian PM Mark Carney tells BBC any talks with Donald Trump would be "on our terms", and says his country "deserves respect" bbc.in/4jS6NrR
- Bill Nye has fucking had it.
