Colleen Jones was a Canadian icon and trailblazer for women in sports — a two-time world champion, six-time Canadian champion, and an esteemed reporter with CBC for nearly four decades.
My thoughts are with her family, her community in Nova Scotia, and her fans across Canada.

In todays dollars, that $17 billion dollar Harper deficit would be ~ $24 billion.
Conservatives are always disastrous for the economy. Bad policies, tax cuts for the rich, social cuts for the rest of us. Trickle down economics only advantage the rich.

Perspective check: not all deficits are created equal.
In 2009, Harper ran a $17 billion quarterly deficit.
In 2025, it’s $3.3 billion, in a tougher global economy.
Tell me again how conservatives are better at anything 🙄

Hedged my bets last night and went to a show for the first part of the evening. I’m so sad to see that the Capitol theatre in Moncton has such poor ventilation. I think the Imperial theatre in SJ made major HVAC investments. Ventilation this poor is bad for artists and audience. /1
