Cape Breton, NS has a good idea: make the first two hours of grocery shopping for seniors only. Won’t hurt the rest of us and makes it less stressful for the vulnerable. Can we make this a national thing? #COVID19

As a Canadian @nytimes subscriber, I am disappointed today in two NYT references to Canada that are inaccurate. The first comes from The Morning newsletter, written by @DLeonhardt . He writes of the "Trudeau problem." 1/4

@ianrausten India is the largest source of Non-Permanent Residents in Canada, which includes foreign students who work while studying. Temporary foreign workers are 60% agricultural and by far mostly come from Mexico. Please check your facts. 4/4

Because CV19 they couldn't admit her, so the doctor pronounced her at the curb. My family can't have a funeral for her until this virus subsides. It's super tough. But real toughness is those first responders who tried to save her. Thanks to all of you. #COVID19

The second inaccuracy is in @ianrausten 's story about the expulsion of Canadian diplomats by India. Austen writes that India is the largest source of temporary foreign workers in Canada. This is incorrect. 3/4

@SteveMartinToGo A young John Candy did regular bits on my dad's late 70s CBC TV show. Candy once walked past me backstage in a Superman costume and mussed my 12 year old's hair, saying "how's it going, kid?" Mundane perhaps, but meant the world to me then and still does today.

@althiaraj From April 8. I don't love Angus but he's making a valid point. Listen to some committees. The Poilievre conservatives aren't doing their jobs, they're campaigning. They repeat their catchphrases ad nauseam and demand to speak as long as the witnesses. It's disrespectful.
