@zacharyweeks I’m so confused. So people in Alberta must apply, but the GOA if they get AISH is taking it back? How will they do that and when? Taxed? Monthly deduction from AISH? What if we choose not to apply ?

@ThrillaRilla369 I grew up in Canada and in the summer the Sun didn’t set until 10 pm ish. So home when streetlights go on was really late and so awesome! In the winter , sunset was at 5 pm . Booo

@MarieFrRenaud Early learning and intervention are most crucial times for these kiddos! It will be seen in the adult system 12 years from now when they require more support because this window was missed

@RonSexsmith Well now I have a reason to join blue sky! My favorite Twitter moment EVER was you performing at the Arden in St. Albert and I sent a tweet from the audience that I was so excited to see you, and you tweeted me back ! Live! Right before you went on stage! So amazing . Thanks

@RonSexsmith You must have a rally song for all Canadians germinating in your head right now!? “Believe it when I see it” comes close lol 🥰

@othingstodo_com I grew up in Canada in the 70s and in the summer it’s light until 9 or 10 pm! Street lights didn’t come on until then. So we stayed out playing pretty late, however, in the winter it gets dark at 5 pm ☹️. But the skating rinks and sledding hills had lights so 7 ish home time

Without the CBC, there may have never been a Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, and without Fred Rogers, there may have never been a Mr. Dressup.

This is the story of the friendship between Fred Rogers and Ernie Coombs.

After Ernie Coombs began to pursue a career in children's entertainment, he became an assistant puppeteer to Fred Rogers at WQED in Pittsburgh on The Children's Corner.
He created several puppets including Lady Elaine Fairchild.

The two became close friends while working together. Fred Rogers was the best man at Ernie Coombs' wedding, and was also the godfather to Ernie's children.

In 1962, CBC offered Fred Rogers his own show. Together, they drove up to Canada to create this new show.

This show was an early version of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood called Misterogers. It was on this show that Fred Rogers first appeared on camera.

When Fred Rogers moved back to the United States to launch his famous show he recommended to CBC that they build a show around Ernie Coombs.
As a result, Ernie Coombs stayed in Canada and joined Butternut Square.

Rogers told Coombs:
"If you are restrained, the kids will come to you."

That show lasted from 1964 to 1967 and it was there he started to develop the character of Mr. Dressup.
When Butternut Square ended, it was immediately replaced with Mr. Dressup.

That show ran for 3,000 episodes before it ended in 1996. By then, Ernie Coombs had become a Canadian icon.

@DalyceFTW Ask her to make the play list for the next part of the trip! You can talk about why she chose those songs! Leads to awesome conversations

[Doreen Slessor @Dorinkitza]

@DalyceFTW For the first time in 20 years we are on holiday traveling without any kids. It’s strange. Enjoy this time it’s so brief. Days are long, years are short !

@alisoncassis1 Keep telling your daughter how wonderful she is at any size. And that grandma was wrong to say that. Sorry you’re dealing with a nest of narcissistic snakes

[Doreen Slessor @Dorinkitza]

@alisoncassis1 If she’s as narcissistic as her so .. it won’t matter what you say to her . She’s feeding off that energy and looking for the fight and all the awesomeness she gets from the conflict, then will play the victim because you were mean to her. You know the game sista, don’t play it.

[Doreen Slessor @Dorinkitza]

@RonSexsmith @SteveEarle Oh that will be a great show . I think “Believe it when I see it” would be a great song for that set 😀

[Doreen Slessor @Dorinkitza]

@alisoncassis1 Awww sorry for your loss . Hugs to all

[Doreen Slessor @Dorinkitza]

@HM_Shander I’d say cover too!
