As always during the #WeekOfRemembrance, I pay tribute to my late middle-name sake, and Great-Uncle Llew Williams, RCAF, who lost his life on a training mission in the early hours of 1 June 1944. I hope to visit his resting place someday. #WeWillRememberThem

Fun fact. Pete Hoekstra, US Ambassador to Canada, who has launched foul-mouthed tirades against this country, was born in an area of Holland liberated by Canadian soldiers, at a cost of 209 casualties, including 43 dead #LestWeForget

Precisely this.
Funny … when NFL discusses move to 18 games … do fans say “Oh nooo … we’ll be like the CFL!!” When NFL added 2-pt convert in 1994 did anyone say “Oh nooo … we are turning into CFL”. Sometimes change isn’t about what another league does or doesn’t do … #CFL

🚨 For Your Information 🚨 For those who don't know, the account @Tablesalt13 is ex-MP CPC John Baird. Baird spreads ludicrous disinformation and writes defamatory comments about PM Carney and the government multiple times a day. Beware of the cowardice devil in our midst.

We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran. Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI

Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell has passed at age 97. Arguably part of the most incredible recovery in Space history.

I survived a day with 6 visiting teenagers for swimming and BBQ. That deserves some kind of recognition, right? #parentofateenager

Currently at the slowest @TimHortons I have ever experienced. Off A40West in Louisville QC. WOWZA. I'll be finished my coffee before my order even makes it to the prep board. I appreciate it's a busy spot, but staff it appropriately!
