Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

I had the honour to serve in Parliament with Ken Dryden.
He loved this country.
He was a brilliant writer and one of the great hockey legends.
Thank you for your service Ken.
Canada is a better place because of you.
You are with the angels.

Ken was a smart kind man. I loved seeing him at book events and he was always very generous with his time and loved to chat. He will be missed.

I’d be terrified and thrilled all at the same time!!
Which one should I munch on, the blue or red snack? 😋

A Southern Right Whale, estimated to be around 18 meters long and weighing 80 tons, caught on camera. Stunning.

These whales are relatively harmless and they are known to interact with humans.

Amazing creatures.

University District in NW Calgary was buzzing on Wed night (especially in front of the ice cream store!) so a great spot to pick up some signatures on our first night out for #forevercanadian @lukaszukab.bsky.social.
So much more to do & so many eager to sign!

It’s all about staying in power! Time to get rid of Danielle!
Danielle Smith‬⁩ weaponized separatism to stay in power.

To keep UCP separatist fringes satisfied, she’s jeopardizing Canada’s unity and economic stability.

Soon, #ForeverCanadian will take this weapon away from Danielle Smith.

Do you remember the first time you heard an amazing song? Check out my flash fiction story “Oh Baby, Try.” It’s all about Blue Rodeo’s 1987 song “Try.” Music can magically transport us back in time. @bluerodeo.bsky.social

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social I just heard your guest recommend Waterton parks for a fellow travelling with his dog. FYI we had to cancel our trip to Waterton as we could not find any hotels or accommodations that would take dogs, sadly.

Worth reading!!
I've been hesitant to write something like this because I didn't want to give oxygen to Alberta separatists. The conversation alone is dangerous.

But with the threshold to a separation referendum lowered so dramatically, we can't let myths out there go unchecked. www.coreyhogan.ca/p/three-albe...

No, we wouldn’t be able to force the rest of Canada to build pipelines.

There are some places that are never for sale!! One of the many reasons I voted for PM Carney!!
Carney to Trump: "There are some places that are never for sale ... having met with the owners of Canada over the course of the campaign, it's not for sale. It won't be for sale ever."
