My dad died when I was 8. Every week a few of the dads on my hockey team would offer to tie my skates. Not in a big showy way, in a quiet kind way. They filled the gap. Find a way to fill the gap for someone. It’ll make you both better.

My daughter said she’s thinking she’d like to play hockey. I asked her what she likes about it: -Matching tracksuits -Driving to games together -Staying in hotels -Swimming in hotel pools -Pizza Literally nothing about skating, sticks or pucks.

What she wanted everybody to know: all about sex. What she didn’t want anyone to know: that she quietly gave her own cottage to an AIDS organization, so people could be surrounded by nature and peace in their final days. Sue was the realest. Funny and frank. ❤️

Apparently Trailer Park Boys first aired 20 years ago today. If there’s any takeaway here it’s that you might as well roll the dice on your biggest dumbest most awesome idea because you just never know.

Ever since I first met Elliot Page as a confident, questioning, almost intimidatingly intelligent 10 year-old working together on a show called Pit Pony (and later on Trailer Park Boys) I’ve never doubted for a second that he would change the world in some way. Love + respect.

Tough week for Canadian broadcasters, producers and crew. Here’s the thing: no one eats Mini Wheats because it’s a Kellogg’s cereal. They eat it cuz they like it. Such is the relationship between tv networks and creators. Viewers aren’t loyal to a network they’re loyal to people.

People don’t eat Froot Loops because they’re loyal to Kellogg’s. They eat them because they like them. Same is true of tv networks and news anchors. People watch who they like, not because of the network they’re on. And - it turns out - a whole lot of people like @LisaLaFlamme_

John Dunsworth used to run a casting agency & would often bring me in for characters that I thought I couldn’t play. Crazy scientists, professors. Didn’t matter. HE believed I could. If you get the chance to be a mentor do it. Show someone you believe in them. It means so much.
