Now seems like a good time to say that this flower amongst the beach rocks reminds me that a difficult life, can be a beautiful life #MS #disabilityawareness #newfoundland
A woman wearing a ball cap, tee shirt and shorts, and using a trekking pole is standing on a beach in a small cove. It’s a wild beach with kelp and wildflowers visible in the foreground, calm ocean behind her, and hills in the background, there are wispy clouds in the sky.A yellow wildflower and some leaves are poking through beach rocks. There is no visible soil.

I'm one of more than 90,000 Canadians living with MS. For over 50 years, the carnation has been a symbol of hope and support for the MS community. Every post shared reminds Canadians affected by MS that an entire community stands behind us. #TakeActionForMS #MultipleSclerosis #MS #MSAwarenessMonth
A photo of 2 red carnations on a blue background. Text reads: May is MS Awareness Month. I'm joining MS Canada's Digital Carnation pinning to #TakeActionForMS.  MS Canada

Remembering my great uncle, Private Michael Francis Kennedy, Royal Newfoundland Regiment, one of The First 500 “Blue Puttees, killed in action in the battle of Beaumont Hamel, July 1, 1916. We honour all who served, and those who serve to protect us still. Democracy is a precious thing.
An old black and white portrait photo of a young soldier in uniform in the early 1900’s. He is gazing into the camera and smiling with closed lips. No one in our extended family inherited his shy smile or his slightly protruding ears. He was unmarried and only 22 years old when he was killed in action.

Debat des chefs en français. Je l'ai déjà dit et je le répète : le féminisme est toujours d'actualité. French Leadership debate: I said it before ( 2015, 2019, 2021) and I'm saying it again (2025) : #feminism is still relevant. #cdnpoli

We were searching for “Becoming Led Zeppelin“ and stumbled across this #Canadian Gem. NFB documentary “Becoming Labrador” is my #CanCon recommendation this week. It tells the stories of people from the Philippines emigrating to #Canada. 🇨🇦 www.nfb.ca/film/becomin...

My #CanCon 🇨🇦 #Canadian rec. this week is anything written by Margaret Atwood. E.g. “The Handmaid’s Tale” released in 1985, describes a near future when the US is run by mostly rich white men, democracy is dead, women can’t work and have no bodily autonomy. A work of dystopian …um fiction? #Cdnpoli
Reacting to reports of book bannings and book burnings, Margaret Atwood takes a flamethrower to a fireproof edition of her novel The Handmaid’s Tale. It was sold at auction, raising $130,000 for PEN America, who advocate for free speech.

Just because you’re sick in bed, doesn’t mean that you can’t still be an agent of chaos!

If a Canadian wanted to buy #Canadian 🇨🇦made and owned products in the new year…everything from Canadian authors of books to retail to fast food. Would there be a list anywhere? Is there a list of non American companies for things like EVs and electronics? #NotAmericanOwned

I can’t remember the last time we had bright sunny skies here in #YYT St. John’s. It’s definitely not #MS memory issues. Not sure if that’s good or bad?
