Guys, political parties are not supposed to be tribes that we pledge allegiance to and defend to the death. They aren’t teams that deserve our undying loyalty. They are orgz that we assess periodically to see who’s better at representing our interests and those of the country.

I never understood why we don’t just create clinics adjacent to ERs — and triage points you in one direction or the other. Then no one ever has to worry if they are being overly cautious in coming to ER. Coordinate the two. It should not be up to the patient to figure it out.

My kid’s school designed their own #BLM tshirts and the administration subsidized them so kids could buy them at $5 each. They are allowed to wear them as part of their school uniform. ❤️ #Ottawa

Just had a big client (who shall remain nameless) finally get around to paying me for work done in OCTOBER. So I’d like to thank all those individuals and institutions who pay their freelancers and consultants in a timely way. We are humans w kids to feed and mortgages to pay too

Subscriptions have a way of creeping up on you; you will be shocked by how many you have. Use your credit card statements to track your subscriptions. I even got rid of things I used regularly to try new things. Some, I went back to the old, some I was grateful for the new

So I’d say the shared walking/biking pathway between #BritanniaPark and #DeschenesRapids might need another lane 😂 Notice the walkers have forged their own path alongside the bikes. #ILoveOttawa

Has anyone written about the fact that our Foreign Minister is a woman and a feminist and our International focus has been on gender and women’s rights — that this has made us a particular showy target? All the more reason to stay on the right side of history and human rights

I took my kid and his pal to see #Frozen2 . At last minute they decided they were ‘too old’ to sit with me so I let them sit a couple of rows behind me. Which meant I looked like the sad middle aged woman who goes to Disney films on her own in the middle of a weekday afternoon 😂

Politics aside, PM Trudeau is an excellent communicator and his unrelenting daily press briefings and openness to media questions is calming and reassuring — demonstrating that there’s a whole big team working hard on keeping Canada safe 🇨🇦

Hey CTV, my #Newfoundland friends are (rightly) making fun of this ridiculous headline Record snowfall buries #Ottawa
Record snowfall buries Ottawa

Environment Canada says 14.3 cm of snow fell at the Ottawa Airport on Saturday, setting a record for the greatest snowfall on January 18 in Ottawa history.

You know what’s fantastic? That extreme racism and xenophobia from the PPC was soundly rejected by Canadian voters and did not even influence the outcome of the election. This bucks the trend elsewhere in the world where extremism has made real gains #elxn43 #cdnpoli

OPINION | Disabled people are experts in adaptation. They should make the rules, not schools | CBC...

I have the same disability as Alexis Rosseel, a seven-year-old girl who was "unregistered" from her dance class in Edmonton because she's disabled. Like Alexis, I also use a wheelchair. Today, I'm...

Disagree. I’m seeing those personal stories actually hitting home on social and making people take precautions. A dose of fear with a personal lens is what we need for a certain segment of the population that won’t listen to charts and graphs and flattening the curve data

Doctors, please don't spread scary stories about COVID-19 to the general public. Dont tell Facebook, Twitter or that WhatsApp group all about the cases in your hospital. It doesn't help but it does frighten people who don't understand. Not OK. #COVID19UK

#Wernick 's comments could be seen as threats...or as friendly cautions. Based on the rest of his comments, the context sounds like cautions. Big deal. This is like Laurel/Yanni all over again.

Had to wait w young woman who was passed out in middle of road near Richmond and Woodroffe today while paramedics came. She was drunk but I couldn’t get her awake long enough to get her off the road. After 20mins or so, she started sobbing: ‘I drink because I’m so sad’ she said

There's a lot of really amazing buildings in NYC, but let me tell you about my favorite — 432 Park. It's one of the "billionaire row" buildings, but if you know me — luxury isn't my thing. I love it because it's the tallest F*CK YOU the world will ever see. <thread>🧵👇
