Oh, I am sad to see the news about Ken Dryden’s passing.
Ken was a hero to so many Canadians. He was a hockey legend, a best-selling author, a lawyer, a broadcaster and sports executive, a political leader — really, a gentleman and a scholar.

Ooh-là-là! Yesterday, prompted by a post by MP @BraedonClark, I popped in to Le Marché Parisien, a new boulangerie/café/épicerie in Bedford.

Just heard that former MP, cabinet minister and former astronaut Marc Garneau has passed away after a brief illness.
He was only 76 years old.
I remember he had so much time for students — who were always curious about his time as our first Cdn in space.
Marc was a gracious, thoughtful person,

At MM Mall in Dartmouth today, I noticed NS Public Health running a Measles vaccination clinic there. Nearly every chair was full.
Two thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻 to NS Health, NS Public Health, the folks staffing the clinic — they’ve been going flat out — and the Nova Scotians getting their vaccinations…
