Mom, wife, sister, semi-retired communications pro, and volunteer in my small-island community in B.C. I like to travel, read, hang out with friends and hang out in nature. I also spend time railing against the Trumpian dystopia.

Look up this story in The Tyee:

Three Things Reporters Would Ask Poilievre. If They Could

Chuck’s your … wait, where the fuck did Chuck go? he was here a minute ago.
