I have made no secret of the impact the work of Pierre Berton has had on my life.
His books inspired my love of Canadian history.
In honour of his 105th birthday today, I thought we could explore his life.
So, let's learn more about Mr. Berton!

On June 1, 1972, Godspell opened at the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto. No one in the audience knew that they were seeing a group of unknown actors who would change comedy forever and go on to win Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and Tonys.
Let's learn more!

Parter taped the opening ceremonies for me… but this thread is 🔥

That gold embroidered logo on the rose coloured uniforms does not read well on TV @LisaVanderpump I’m sure it’s lovely in rl but at first glance I thought it was a dirt smudge.

[Alli @GrapeVixen]

@JuiceSimpsons YAAAAASSSSSS!

[Alli @GrapeVixen]

@JuiceSimpsons Unless of course you’re talking about some underground anime things and now I’ve just outed myself as a lame-o that watches Vanderpump Rules. LOL

@MosportMike @CP24 Try taking the Sherb bus around 3-4 pm North to Carlton… people are angry!

[Alli @GrapeVixen]

I’m unclear as to why @CTVToronto appears to be painting this as a frivolous joke!?! She’s terrified and out of her element

A kangaroo destined for Quebec escaped during an overnight stay at a zoo east of Toronto Friday morning.

"It jumped over [handlers'] heads," according to an employee of the zoo.

Hey @TTChelps why have you put the new Bathurst-King stop in the middle of an entrance/exit to a underground parking garage? Isn’t it bad enough having to navigate getting on and off?

Exclusive: The FAA has given the green light for a 699-foot hotel tower on the Casino Royale site. The old-timey casino's days appear numbered. https://t.co/nqLHsOcF3C

I will confess to doing this to a MUCH lesser extent simply to f***k with angry pushy people at the airport.

I’ve never both completely agreed and completely disagreed with a person more in my life

[Alli @GrapeVixen]

@ZubyMusic I do too… but calling someone your boyfriend after 40 sounds equally ridiculous

[Alli @GrapeVixen]

@StephenKing Huzzah! We’re all waiting for the Corgi assholery to begin. Good thing they’re cute.

@dinnerwithjulie Check Mount Royal Hotel. Stayed there last Feb and really enjoyed it! Yes it’s old/historic but rooms were super clean and the breakfast at Brazen was amazing

[Alli @GrapeVixen]

Their next offer better be business or first class!

Thanks to @ServiceCanada_E I not only had to wait in line for 6.5 hours to renew my passport but I also got the added bonus of Covid. AND no assurance that the passport will actually arrive IN TIME for my travels. Good times.

[Alli @GrapeVixen]

@TheBlackHoof Right?!? It’s out of control… who is everyone yelling at on their phones? On the streetcars. In the stores. On the sidewalks. You are NOT conducting time sensitive emergencies while out and about.
