The last passenger on the NFLD railway. I also spend too much time reading about politics and NFLD history.

@OccTranspo I totally agree. If you do something bad enough you get to be above the law? No b'y.

Also, I don't live in Ottawa anymore but always appreciate everything you do about transit.

As Governor of Minnesota I cannot believe Warren Zevon was not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. https://t.co/6LqQawh6om

Canada has competed at the Summer Olympics since 1900, but what about Newfoundland and Labrador?

There was a time when Newfoundland was its own dominion, so did it compete in the Olympics during that time?

Let's learn about the pre-1949 Newfoundland Olympians!

@PeteBlackburn Just finished it and was wondering what happened ever since I saw your tweet. It was sooooo good!

[John Hearn @John_Hearn]

@Terry_Hussey Well in that case, haha. The last time I can think of it being used was by Ed Roberts in his essay in either the third or fourth volume of "The Book of Newfoundland" so in the late 60s early 70s ish but definitely not an exhaustive search.

@Terry_Hussey And sorry if I am being dense, just drinking my coffee now.

[John Hearn @John_Hearn]

@Terry_Hussey Smallwood? Not sure if it's been used during campaigns as such but has been a phrase used when talking about new industry and it leading to a turning point for the economy on the island. Smallwood's "New Newfoundland" (1931) likely coined it.

@Isotachtics @EddieSheerr Because of his lighting up crotch or "don't you want to know how we keep starting fires?"

[John Hearn @John_Hearn]

@YoungDaveSeddon @OttawaHealth Oh that's good. "You're so Vain" talks about the eclipse in Nova Scotia.

[John Hearn @John_Hearn]

@JoshSmee @CityofStJohns Do they actually enforce it? On LeMarchant the businesses always clean their parking lots and block the sidewalks.

[John Hearn @John_Hearn]

@Isotachtics Been a bit of a lull for a while here, pretty bright out. Also Justin, want to say thank you for your blog, really enjoy reading it and always provides valuable info!

@sdpope Interested pops would like to know the scope of what we're talking about here.

[John Hearn @John_Hearn]

@Devin_Heroux I suspect you already know, since it has to do with curling in Canada but the St. John's Curling Club is streaming both the NL Tankard and Scotties tournaments this week. https://t.co/6BXZgSRNmN
