From India Hicks:
« My mother died peacefully today.
Whilst there is no tragedy in the death of a 97-year-old who has lived a full life I know grief will be unavoidable, lurking around waiting for me, but today I am simply grateful that she was my Mother. And through the prism of a crowded and remarkable past, she made incomparable company, carrying her memories lightly, and always with humour.
My mother maintained right up to the end, the impeccable style, sharp mind, and effortless charm that made her not only a cherished institution, but truly the last of her kind. »
When a 10 minute drive takes 20.... I, for the life of me, will never understand the point of putting LRT at street level and against the flow of traffic AND that runs slower than I can walk.
Adam Macko on his MLB debut for the #BlueJays:
“My knees were weak when I stepped on the field. The lights went out and I was like, ‘This is a cool entrance. Is this for me? Why are they doing this? I’m on the road.’ It was amazing. I honestly blacked out for a lot of it."
Victoria Day is a time to reflect on Canada’s enduring connection to the Crown and the traditions that shape our history. 👑🍁
We also look ahead to the installation of the 31st Governor General, the Honourable Louise Arbour.
Happy Victoria Day! 🕊️
