While I have less than complimentary words for @SHNcares wait times at Scarboro Gen Emergency (one doctor on for a Friday overnight!), I have only fulsome praise for Dr. Daniel Low and Dr. Alecsa Mackinnon who were kind, professional and had exemplary interpersonal skills.

@TTCnotices Brilliant - arrived at Finch. So many busses out of service with minimal service on Finch East

@MarcNixon24 Gee if I'm not mistaken 7 million people didn't protest the Ontario premier, but rather the Toddler in Chief.

An amazing team at the PEOC (Provincial Emergency Operations Centre)!

Ontario's Provincial Emergency Operations Centre is lit with a touch of blue to cheer on the @BlueJays tonight while standing ready to #ProtectOntario 💙
Good luck in the series @Cal_OES!

BREAKING: Justin Trudeau is specifically asked if he believes that Trump's tariffs are an Act of War.

His answer is tremendous.

"Canadians are not angry at the American people for this. We don’t have anything against Americans. Americans are our neighbors, our friends, our partners. We do things together, we’ve done things together for decades and generations. This is a policy decision by the American government (Donald Trump), designed to go after the Canadian economy. This is a trade war — yes. But Canadians are hurt, Canadians are angry. We’re going to choose to not go on vacation to Florida or Old Orchard Beach or wherever. We’re gonna choose to try to buy Canadian products and forgo bourbon and other classic American products. We’re probably going to continue booing the American National Anthem. But let me tell Americans — we’re not booing you, we’re not booing your teams, we’re not booing your players -- we’re booing a policy that is designed to hurt us."

How can anyone view Trump as the good guy in this Trade war?

A great review of 'The 13th Letter' @KingsRiverLife magazine, https://t.co/Xg5uYzagcE which includes my story '27'. And I quote (in part) : With humor and wit, Keetch teases the reader with multiple options as to how the number 27 solves the crime.

[Blair Keetch @BlairKeetch]

Another great interview with @crimewriterscan and the wonderful @ErikDSouzaReal. Lots of fun talking about the collective @MesdamesMayhem and their latest anthology 'The 13th Letter' which includes (modest cough) my story '27'.

[Mesdames of Mayhem @MesdamesMayhem]
