The outrage and incomprehension when first reading this, pales in comparison to the heart break I have for this child. As a parent, not getting vaccinated so you can be with your dying child...I don't have words
After two long years of a pandemic, hundreds of employees have to go a week without work. Stores have to say closed. To say nothing of other restaurants and businesses not opening or operating downtown. Interesting form of “freedom”
The moment life changes in a heartbeat. Tricia and I are so excited to introduce Asher Louis Skube to the world. Born February 10th at 2:20 pm and weighing in at an impressive 8 lbs, 14…

One. Hundred. Thousand. Dollars.
In one week.
What just happened?!
Hey
@mattskubeCTV
!
Merry Christmas Twitterverse! Off until next week. Despite the chaos, uncertainty, exhaustion and whatever else you may be feeling right now, I hope you’re able to find some moments of joy these next few days and weeks. They are tough to find these days, but a quick 🧵…
Toddler insisted I brush my teeth with him tonight. Used his fruit-flavoured toothpaste. Instant nostalgia. Brought me right back to the days of banana medicine, Flintsones vitamins, Fruit by the Foot and Gushers

Thanks for watching Ron. With daycares shut down, I’ve been supporting my wife by taking days off to look after our 1-year-old so she can continue to work as well. Appreciate your concern!

UPDATE: According to EC, the snowfall total at the airport as of 7:00 am is…11 cm! Looking forward to seeing you with shovel in hand
@StuntmanStu

Thank you
@KCinthegoal
for this. The bet is on! The stakes:
More than 10 cm of snow (even 10.1),
@StuntmanStu
is coming to shovel my driveway tomorrow.
Less than 10 cm, I will cut Stuart's grass this summer in my winter jacket and snow pants.
Huge thank you to

Do you know a local store, shop or restaurant that has some great Christmas gift ideas? We're starting a new segment on

Attention Ottawa: WHEN you wake up to the 10 cm of snow we're getting tonight and don't want to shovel your driveway, send your address to
@StuntmanStu
. He's got a long day ahead of him tomorrow. Stuart, I'll take a tea, just sugar, and thoroughly enjoy watching from inside
Embracing all the snow this morning! Official update on amounts coming in CTV News at Noon. There is a blizzard warning in effect, but we’re making the best of it!

Heartbroken tonight. He was the epitome of bravery. Endless courage. A true inspiration. Rick, my sincerest condolences to you and your family. Brian’s legacy will continue for many years to come, but it won’t fill that massive void he leaves behind. Love you B ❤️
So we wished Brian a Bon-voyage with a Sens win. Brian Fraser passed away tonight after a hard fought battle. We know he is at peace and looking for ways to watch down on us🙏🏻🙏🏻
My first job at
@ctvottawa
was weekend weather anchor. Getting to learn from the best in the business was an honour. Watching him work every night was a treat, but he's an even better person. Enjoy retirement

Proud of my friend for calling it out for what it is. The fact he has to enrages me, but everyone, no matter who you are, plays a role in ending hate like this.
@Stefan_Keyes
Wow Ottawa. Wow. Wow. Wow. Thank you to everyone for helping us reach this mark! Looking forward to shaving it down! Plans are coming on when/where it will happen.
And we're not done yet!
What can I say?
A $5,000 donation from

pushes us way over the $70K mark and this group donation of $1,160 just guaranteed a shaved

We're continuing our push to support local! On the 5:00 show yesterday, we launched a new segment simply called 'Curbside Pickup'. If you know a local business offering this option, leave suggestions below and we'll get to as many as we can during the lockdown!
@ctvottawa
This is disgusting, ignorant and unacceptable. I'm so sorry you had to experience this Mega. Absolutely no one should be made to feel like they're not safe while walking. WALKING.
Men, we have to demand more and call this out when we witness it. Pitiful behaviour.
Huge thank you to Elizabeth, Lisa, Carol and all the staff at the Tim Horton’s on Eagleson. They raised money as a staff and store owner John matched it! They’re looking forward to seeing what I look like with very little hair!

Message of the day: it’s not appropriate to comment on a woman’s body, at any point, EVER. For today’s

If we raise $75,000 by the CHEO Telethon on June 6, I will shave all of that hair off!

@pepeetovalencia
will shave at $15K.
But I needed a guy with prettier hair than all of us and my pal
@mattskubeCTV
reached out with an idea.
What do you think, can we hit $75K?
#ShaveSkube
Should
@mattskubeCTV
shave his luscious locks? If it means raising $75,000 for youth mental health services at CHEO, the answer is yes.
This after
@chrishofley
decided one night to raise $1000, something that has grown far beyond that goal.

At a loss right now. Nova Scotia is a home away from home. You won’t meet better people anywhere in the world. My heart breaks for the families who lost loved ones. Sending love and strength to them, and colleagues who will tell their stories in the days and weeks ahead

This is sexual harassment. Plain and simple. It's cowardly. It's disgraceful. It's infuriating having to watch this happen time and time again to female coworkers. I'm sorry this happened to you
@KristajSharpe
. It needs to stop
This is not funny and it’s not cool. As much as I’d love to say it doesn’t bother me, it does. It makes me feel like sh*t. Especially as VJ who is always alone. This still happens to female reporters everywhere and it needs to stop.

Big shoutout to

said at transit commission today that missed/cancelled routes were going down. I understand that. But here’s the scene at Tunney’s Pasture tonight. In almost 30 minutes of waiting, the 2nd westbound bus just showed up. I count at least 7 that were scheduled

Many thanks to 8 y/o Clayton who located a man who had fallen in deep snow near his house earlier today.
The gentleman was almost all covered due to the huge snowfall when Clayton spotted him & notified his parents who activated 9-1-1.
