Lost this guy yesterday, peacefully, after 15+ yrs of companionship. As we try to heal.....I’d love some “fun” or “fun” animal pictures or memes or whatever. We need laughter.

Seems a good time to point out that Canada is the most vaccinated country in the WORLD, per capita. As of today, January 26, 2022, 78.248% of Canadians are fully vaccinated. 84.374% have had at least 1 dose. 76,717,050 doses have been delivered to date and 129,043 TODAY alone.
My 8th grader wears his mask in-class, by choice, as do the high majority of their classmates. The kids are doing it for their teachers. How cool is that?

WAIT!!!!!!! Let’s applaud the gentleman who responded: “how DARE you”. Who is that? (Sorry, I don’t know). He did the right thing in standing up to this ass.

A view of the protest in central Moscow this evening. Thousands across the country are risking serious repercussions to protest Putin’s attack on Ukraine. More than 850 people detained so far.

@LisaMarieBoothe
Lisa Marie - you have zero idea what it means to live in a country such as ours. Do not project your polarization onto our citizens, toward our leaders. We are not you. We have been lead by Conservatives and by Liberals and consistently enjoyed an incredibly good quality of life.

@PierrePoilievre
please stop the inflammatory disinformation. Canadians deserve better than divisive disinformation.
@KayceeMaduYEG
Wow. Really? How about “thank you to the massive majority of Canadians (87.4%+) who got vaccinated in the name of protecting those in their community.” Leaning into disinformation is a bad look with real world data you are clearly ignoring.
@RonFilipkowski
This says a lot about Ms Kelly. “Contracted "Dr" or "Dr.", it is used as a designation for a person who has obtained a doctorate (commonly a PhD/DPhil). In many parts of the world it is also used by medical practitioners, regardless of whether they hold a doctoral-level degree.”
One month from today the man who felt he had the right to harass me online will enter a guilty plea and receive his punishment. I’m hopeful it will bring us all closer to swift, and meaningful, consequences for anyone who thinks they can do such things….media, scientists..women

Watching the news story about how MRNA vaccines might change the way CANCER is treated. Wonder if the anti-vaccine set will refuse that option when cancer lands in their lives, too, or if it’s just COVID? Legit query.

It would be so nice if everyone on Twitter had to use their real name, photo and workplace (where applicable). Imagine the reduction in gaslighting and tossing of barbs — lifting the veil of anonymity.
1. I point out the CBC is biased.
2. Then CBC’s CEO launches a campaign against me.
3. Which I point out proves they are biased.
4. So now CBC sends its paid commentators to attack me on Twitter, for saying CBC is biased.
But in reality, they just prove…that the CBC is biased.
Hey, just gonna put this out there again -- @ me with disinformation and I will block you. We don't need to discuss both sides, there is science and then there is the rabbit hole.

I required a D&C after my first miscarriage. I had three losses before my IVF miracle was born. The politicization of women’s health in America is nothing short of disgusting.
Am I alone in wondering: why is it up to “citizens to use less plastic” rather than take steps to shut down plastic producers and have citizens acclimate to their unavailability? Same with “too much meat”... why not reduce production and up the price? I know, unpopular questions

This should be played in every church and every school across America. Shame on those Christian Americans who have taught their children how to hate in the name of Jesus.

In 1941 over 33,000 Ukrainian Jews were murdered in a 2 day span in the Babi Yar ravine marking one of the deadliest massacrers of the Holocaust. For 🇺🇦 to have a Jewish President descended from a Holocaust survivor standing up to a dictator is really empowering.

In 1988 I was told my broadcast aspirations should focus on weather or entertainment — sportscasting on TV was male domain. In 2000 I had the honour of being the first woman, in canadian broadcast history, to host her “own sports show” in prime time.
