Near the end of this conversation, Teresa Woo-Paw was in tears, talking about how hard they had worked to inform immigrant voters and how they still don’t feel they did enough. So much love for our country. It threw the wickedness of this racist smear campaign into stark relief. Please do listen.

Drove out to our family’s farm house north of Edmonton for our Thanksgiving feast. As I drove through Sturgeon and Westlock Counties, I kept my eyes peeled for separatist signs. Didn’t see a single one. But I did spot four Canadian flags, for which I gave thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to all. #Alberta

I was up early yesterday, at the marsh to see a whale of an autumn sunrise. A true crack-of-dawn affair, the sun slid past an opening on the horizon for this wonderful minute or two before clouds set in. Also I saw birds: geese, ducks, gulls, snipes, longspurs, kinglets, sparrows, eagles.

A vibrant sunrise over a silhouetted prairie marsh, with sky tones ranging from yellow to maroon and magenta. A vertical pillar of light extends from where the sun is about to show. A pair of distant geese fly in the sky.

If there is zero faith in Dru Brown to throw the ball more than ten yards in any direction, then you need to get him the fuck out of there and go with Elgersma at QB. At least get the kid some snaps and some experience. #Bombers #CFL

As a teenager what I learned about curling came from watching and listening to Don Duguid on CBC and his love of the game. A Manitoba and Canadian sports legend. Here is a feature I did about Don Duguid and his Manitoba, Brier and Silver Broom Championship team of 1970 and 1971.

Bill C-16 was supposed be about fighting femicide and protecting victims of domestic violence. Instead, as the Senate is pressured to rush the bill, I'm worried the bill might backfire on victims, clog courts, and be unconstitutional. Here is my short and unsweet Senatorial rant. #cdnpoli #BillC16

Afternoon those of the bluesky. We thought we'd try something different today. This is our silver display - as you can see it has shiny silver in it. Zoom in, pick a piece, reply with said choice and we'll tell you about it. 👍

We are looking at three display cases - two small and one large and they are stuffed full with different objects in silver in all sorts of shapes and sizes.
