@JSchool_CU @CBCOttawa @AdrianHarewood What a great career move Adrian. Carleton is so lucky to have nabbed you.

[Barbara McInnes @BarbMcInnes]

@LucyvanOlden @JSchool_CU @CBCAdrianH Congratulations Adrian. I completely agree with Lucy’s assessment of you.

[Adrian Harewood @CarAdrianH]

As many of you know my @CBCOttawa co-conspirator is a ridiculously talented individual. @LucyvanOlden is our newsroom renaissance woman!!! Lucy’s one woman show about growing up in #Hamilton launches on May8th and will be live-streamed. Check it out! https://t.co/zXunoEJOVk

@BobRae48 We Canadians have lost a truly remarkable man.

I have just learned of the passing of Tom Berger in Vancouver. No non indigenous person has done more to advance the rights of indigenous people in Canada and globally. A giant in the law, an advocate without match. He inspired thousands and enlightened millions. #RIPTomBerger

Too much focus on events RT @PamelaGrow: #Fundraising consultants: when you’re called in to look at an org’s fundraising program, what is the #1 issue you see over and over again?

[Barbara McInnes @BarbMcInnes]

@JimWatsonOttawa Hey Andrew, congratulations on the book. I am so pleased that you persevered despite all the setbacks.

[Barbara McInnes @BarbMcInnes]

@Yasir_Naqvi @globeandmail An excellent piece Yasir and a wake up call we all need.

[Barbara McInnes @BarbMcInnes]

This is worth sharing

Just got off the phone ☎️ with @VeraEtches and we agreed that only one travel 🗺 exemption will be granted over the holidays - Mr. Claus 🎅🏼 has advised us that he has lots of experience keeping his distance from others!! 🎁💨

Mic drop :) RT @billbartolini: @LeahEustace Top Google search in the US in 2020? “How do I emigrate to Canada?”

[Barbara McInnes @BarbMcInnes]

@DeniseSiele Wow this is great Denise. You are joining a great leadership team there.

[Barbara McInnes @BarbMcInnes]

Oh Ottawa Public Health. You do know how to make us laugh.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Poetry is hard,

@LeahEustace That’s unbelievable.

[Mark Blumberg @canadiancharity]

Please don't use "charity ratings" when deciding on a good charity. They are utterly bogus. Case in point "WE Charity" received 97 out of 100 from this group. Also charities please don't advertise if you get a good score from these ridiculous ratings! https://t.co/wr5qmyqD5n

Next available spot for my daughter’s G2 driving test in #ottawa is March 30th. So I searched farther afield. Finally was able to book something for early October...500 km away in Temiskaming Shores. Can @ONgov not do something about this backlog?
