If Trump really has the courage of his convictions when it comes to appointments, let him put someone with no pilot's license into the cockpit of Air Force One.

Canadians have medaled every single day of the 2024 Olympics.
Pierre Poilievre has tweeted every one of those days.
No, not about our Champions, don't be weird.
About himself. About his endless campaign. About his trivial slogans.

Remarkable series. A rich, nuanced journey through grief and joy and @rickygervais is a revelation. Wish it never ended as the lessons in life were compelling.

Look at all these fabulous #writers hanging out at my favourite indie bookstore, @BlueHeronBooks Can you feel the love?
What a fabulous double book launch today at @BlueHeronBooks for STILL MY TESSA and ALL OUR LOVE, two heartwarming #picturebooks about love from @scholasticCDA. Good to see @KariLynnWinters, @SylvChiang, @MathiassJB, and @HeatherMOConnor.

Signed to send to my MP #ColinCarrie, along with a personal message from me. Essentially, encourage the feds to make good on their years of promises unfulfilled to raise funding of the #CanadaBookFund so that Canada's writers can add a few more pennies to their pockets. #PLR
As we enter PLR payment season, it’s time to remind government of their promise. Canada's writers need a raise on #PublicLendingRight. The Union calls on the gov to double the #PLR program budget to $30 M. Add your voice & send a letter to your MP today: bit.ly/3t6sFLj

Oh man, I loved this as a kid and I love it still. Joyful and silly and made me imagine such a dance is possible. And maybe it still is. #CanadianHistory

When the sun finally shows up at the cottage but you're in a valley so it is just teasing you on the morning walk. Fortunately, the sky stayed blue so eventually, all the trees were nudged back into the light. #myhaliburtonhighlands #JanuarySunshine

For those of us waiting an eternity, there is hope. #writ
In case anyone wants to know how long it takes to write, query and publish a book; when I wrote Ember I had no children. When it was published I had three 😂 #WritingCommmunity

The work to free young Filipina journalist Frenchie Mae Cumpio is painfully slow in a country with a fragile justice system. In jail almost 4 years. No trial @jhrnews @unhumanrights @iamcanadianfil Retweet to amplify: #freefrenchiemaecumpio #defendpressfreedom
Celebrate for sure. Congratulations!

Good grief. Even the chickpeas aren't safe. They get away with it because it says 19 fl oz and doesn't say the dry weight. Shame on them. #Unico #Shrinkflation And I bet you paid more for the latest cans of chickpeas. #GarbanzoGate
