Trump has proven again to be a racist egomaniac. US Nat’l Parks will be free on his birthday next year & on national holidays. But he has withdrawn that free day for Martin Luthier King Jr. (an American hero) Day and Juneteenth. If this doesn’t alarm or infuriate you, you’re a sick, twisted peson.

I absolutely love this. Trump’s wacko Transportation Secty, Sean Duffy, recently suggested air travel in the U.S. would be better if people simply dressed up a little. Angry passengers have responded by wearing pajamas on planes. openjaw.com/newsroom/air... #travel #airlines
Slippers, PJs, and Defiance—Travellers Mock Duffy’s Push for Dress Code
More passengers seem to be wearing pajamas to the airport—and it’s not because comfort won out over style. Instead, travellers are pushing back against US

A new report says Canada is the most respected country in the world for 2025. Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Australia made the top five. The U.S. wasn't in the top 20. jimbyerstravel.com/2025/12/04/w... #Canada #Australia #Switzerland #Norway #Sweden

How on earth does a country that produces Ferraris and the best espresso makers in the world build an Olympic hockey rink that’s too small? Did they run out of rulers and measuring tapes? It’s a huge embarrassment for Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic organizers. #Olympics #NHL

The Beatles playing “I’m Down” at Shea Stadium in 1965 is easily their most joyous and crazy live performance. John has the time of his life. Maybe they were wilder in their Hamburg days, but that song at Shea is just pure joy. #Beatles

Proud to say Canada is buying $200 million worth of weapons for Ukraine. The arms come from a U.S. stockpile that Canada can access. #Ukraine #Canada

Checking out the Beatles anthology. Love the Hard Days Night bits. Probably my fave movie of all time. I love Paul’s music, but he is by far the worst actor of the bunch. Often too forced, while the others are far more natural. Still, he has some good bits. #Beatles

On this day 24 years ago, the world lost a hugely talented, interesting and gentle soul. Fellow musicians said George Harrison was kind, caring and completely without ego. A complicated and highly spiritual man, he made the world a better place. RIP, George. #Beatles #music #GeorgeHarrison

Air Canada has unveiled a new airplane with a design (livery) that pays tribute to Canadian athletes taking part in the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Milan/Cortina, Italy early next year. Good looking plane. Excited for the Games! #AirCanada #Olympics #olympicgames

Air Canada beefing up its schedule to Europe next summer. Adding flights from Montreal to both Berlin and Nantes, France. Adding Toronto to Ponta Delgada, Azores (fab destination) and Halifax-Brussels, which is a very cool city. #AirCanada #travel #Europe #Toronto #Montreal

So very sad to hear of the loss of Jamaican musical great Jimmy Cliff. He wrote and sang so many reggae/pop classics, including “You Can Get It If You Really Want,” “Many Rivers to Cross.” and “The Harder They Come.” RIP, Jimmy. #music #Jamaica #JimmyCliff

Raptors beat the Sixers for their fifth straight win. Now 10-5 on the season. They’re getting solid contributions from key players like Barnes, Ingram, Barrett, Poeltl and Quickley. So good to see! Is this the year they return to the playoffs? #Raptors #NBA #Toronto

In a time of fully displayed cruelty and narcissism, some remarkable person somewhere in the world has donated a sample of their stem cells to let another person live. Cells from an unknown donor arrived at my Toronto hospital an hour ago. I am overcome with emotion and gratitude.

If you watch the John Candy documentary “I Like Me” and don’t bust a gut laughing & shed a gallon of tears I don’t want to know you. One of the best, most revealing and poignant things I have ever witnessed. Thank you, director Colin Hanks, and thank you John Candy. #movies #TV

Sad to hear of the death of former NFL and UCLA great Kenny Easley. He was a fearless, dominating safety for the Bruins and Seattle Seahawks. A good man, too. RIP, Kenny. #UCLA #NFL #Seahawks #football

A new Gallup poll (very experienced, reliable polling firm) says a whopping 40% of U.S. women say they would move to another country if they could. Wow. Their destination of choice? Canada. That says a lot about the difference between the two countries. #Canada #USA

Waymo to expand self-driving taxi service to some highways in LA, SF and Phoenix. Sure. I mean, what could go wrong? 🤣

Not traveling for quite some time, so posting inspirational photos from the past. This is a shot of a sunset at Jekyll Island, Georgia on a Toronto Star golf magazine trip maybe 20 years ago. Fabulous, affordable golf spot! #Georgia #travel #sunset #golf

Thought of the day from my hospital bed: Crossword puzzle people should be severely reprimanded when an answer is two words but the clue doesn’t tell you that.

Hurricane Melissa did far more damage to Jamaica and its wonderful people than most of us realize. Food for the Poor Canada, I'm told, is a great organization that really helps people who need it most. jimbyerstravel.com/2025/11/12/h... #Jamaica #HurricaneMelissa

The Jays lost the World Series, but times have changed for Toronto fans. When big name free agents get mentioned now, the Jays are almost always mentioned as a top landing spot. The Jays are now equal, or almost equal, in appeal as the Dodgers and Yankees. #BlueJays #baseball

So happy to see Warren Zevon in the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame! A brilliant songwriter and fabulous lyricist. So many amazing tunes. Little known fact: When I was a DJ at KLA Radio at UCLA I called myself “The Excitable Boy.” #music #WarrenZevon
