When “Star Trek: The Next Generation” premièred, in 1987, a newspaper referred to its leading man as an “unknown British Shakespearean actor.” Patrick Stewart, who was then 47 and had spent 14 years as a full-time member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, was catapulted into pop-culture fame as Jean-Luc Picard. In the years after, he continued his illustrious stage acting and embodied other cult-TV figures, such as Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” series. In 2023, the actor sat down with Michael Schulman to discuss his new memoir, “Making It So,” filled with tales of driving Paul McCartney’s car, learning to be Captain Picard, and trading quips with Queen Elizabeth.

Canadian firefighters poured into New York after 9/11 to help with search and recovery efforts. 159 Canadians died fighting on behalf of the US in Afghanistan. This crap from the White House is stupid and embarrassing and shameful, and long-term will hurt the US the most.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY: Lake Ontario is renamed to LAKE AMERICA! 🇺🇸

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

To win a war means changing the politics of the enemy such that they must surrender. That is what Iran just did to the United States. snyder.substack.com/p/capitu…

Trump completely capitulated to the Iranians. I did not have a big enough imagination to believe we would sign a deal respecting theocratic dictatorship and then giving those killers billions and billions to strengthen their autocratic repression.

As someone who grew up in Western New York on the border with Ontario, it was my pleasure to welcome Ontario Premier Doug Ford @fordnation to The Situation Room this week. I love Canada.

It was a pleasure to spend time with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney last week in Toronto. In a rapidly changing world, the longstanding partnership between our two countries remains essential. At home and abroad, there is no going back to old ways - nor should we try - but as neighbors and friends we should work together to shape a better future.

Imagine that. Turns out you can’t lawfully hold a referendum on whether to take something that isn’t yours: like land covered by treaties, or the sovereign territory of Canada.

George W. Bush on his relationship with @MichelleObama and the viral Altoids incident. “I slipped her an Altoids — not as a joke — but I thought she might want one. I got in the car afterwards, and she said ‘you’re trending.’ I didn’t know what she meant. And it turns out the country is starved to see a center-right republican and an African American center-left democrat having fun and being able to converse, not as political figures, but as citizens.”
