@RogersHelps Is there an issue with the Ignite TV app at the moment? I’m getting error messages on PVR recordings and on-demand streaming, and the live feeds get stuck on the loading screen. I am using the most current version of the app for iOS.

@MairlynSmith I’ve been in a brain fog for the last two days. No headache yet, thankfully, but I often stay in the prodrome/aura phase for days at a time without ever getting to the actual migraine.

@jfitzgeraldMD Maybe it’s because I’m in Canada and have an urban liberal circle of friends, but most of the Millenial dads I know are equal partners. Heck, I just had an male colleague take a 15-month parental leave so he could be at home with his kids while his wife pursues her career.

@PMbeers @jfitzgeraldMD Depends on the timing. My parents were both born in 1950, smack in the middle of the Boomer era. Im Gen X, but my younger sister is an elder Millenial (early 80s) and her kids are Zoomers (mid-00s).

@Pereseverance @lithium534 @petergyang In my experience, you learn these things much faster in school, because that is literally all you do for the whole time. When else do you have so much time to focus just on research and analysis and problem-solving?

[Isabelle Boucher @Izzbell]

@lithium534 @petergyang My current job is totally unrelated to my degree, but I used the skills I learned in school every day. Problem solving, time management, multi-tasking, communication, etc. The essay is the output - the process of writing it is where you actually learn the important stuff.

@MangoTomato Sounds easy enough! :) Going to try this the next time I have a brownie craving. There’s a baker at the farmers market that makes a chocolate-tahini babka, and I’m totally obsessed with the combo now.

[Isabelle Boucher @Izzbell]

@MangoTomato Love this! Did you just spoon the tahini straight from the jar onto the batter, or did you add some sugar? Asking for a friend (ahem, me).

@jaxies I’m so very sorry. Losing a parent is really hard. I hope that you are finding comfort in your memories of him. Sending big hugs from the other side of the world.

@FarahHeron I’m going next week. Glad to hear it’s as delightful as it seemed based on the promos. Super excited!

@DishntheKitchen Yikes. I could almost understand South Korea, given how tiny their clothing sizes are by comparison. But still… not okay.

[Isabelle Boucher @Izzbell]

@jaxies Here's the one that still sticks with me years and years later: "Are those space pants you're wearing? Because that butt is outta this world!" (I can't remember if finger guns were also involved, but pretty sure that also happened.)

@DishntheKitchen @HeySeto @dansgoodside Saaaaaaame. And at 5’3”, I’m technically not even that short!

@kcaldwell @dinnerwithjulie @fridaythings @stacyleekong They may not have been standing on overpasses with banners or honking horns on Parliament Hill, but they’ve been showing support in plenty of other ways. The yummy-mummy brigade know their way around social media better than most.

@jaxies @lashingsfood I wish I wasn’t located literally on the other side of the planet. :( I’d totally be hanging out there every weekend and eating my body weight in treats.

[Isabelle Boucher @Izzbell]

@EPrecipice This is absolutely perfect, and I literally want to frame it and put it on my desk. Every day has a donut, sometimes you just need to go look for it. 🍩 ❤️

[Isabelle Boucher @Izzbell]

@TableMabel Sooooooo… what you’re saying is that I can expect this culinary masterpiece to be on the menu when we’re finally allowed to gather again in 2025 sometime? Because if so, I am totally there for it.

@311Toronto Sidewalk on the north side of Mortimer at Broadview is completely impassable for pedestrians, and partially blocked by an abandoned road sign. How is this acceptable?
