@KristinRaworth This is the correct response.

[Laura Farr @LauraEAFarr]

@KristinRaworth I mean, liberals usually feel the same way too.

[Laura Farr @LauraEAFarr]

@KristinRaworth “Schow, speaking to reporters, declined to provide details on how that process would work.” That should tell people exactly what this is. A serious effort (while still a minefield) would have the why and how clearly communicated.

@brianlilley This is not funny.

This has happened in the 1890s and 1920s, and in the 1810s come to think of it. Each time, the US claims that it was a tie because we took no extra land, and neither did they, but the US also couldn’t annex Canada. Our country is not a herd animal waiting to be eaten by the US.

1/ Donald Trump may be aiming to annex the Great Lakes – and possibly south-eastern Ontario in a maximalist scenario – and kick Canada out of NORAD, judging by first-hand accounts of talks between Canada and the Trump Administration. ⬇️

@KristinRaworth Sending love and healing his way, and hugs and energy to you as you journey through the next few days.

@ttmygh What you are seeing is a leader only read half the room well, while also as a society our norms are changing. There used to be a time where whether you liked the President/PM or not, you still respected the office. Long gone. Trudeau is not Kim Campbell, John Turner or Bowell.

@trixiemattel Moo deng.

@ham_bicycleguy @VrancorGroup Bring back… perimeter road? Really? There were lots of reasons why that wasn’t built but the RHVP and Linc were….

[Laura Farr @LauraEAFarr]

@rob_bieber Yeah we do, and we make headway! Look at the kinds of questions we would get a year ago to now, and how many people we have helped! Exhausting yes. Worth it? Absolutely. 💜

@CraigBaird There was also a pilot in Ontario that Doug Ford conservatives promised they wouldn’t cancel and did anyway. It was supposed to be for 3 years, and it only ran for 1. There’s a class action lawsuit now for people impacted.

@IsisIntrepid @cityofhamilton To be clear, I worked there about 2-3 weeks, and then never saw anyone on Council again until I was working covering shifts at Council Reception. I’ve heard lots of rumours about how I began working for them, and this connection isn’t it - it’s just Hamilton.

We appreciate the Prime Minister's confidence in the quality of service provide by public service workers, but then why did his government betray them by going back on their word?

Canadians need a government with integrity.

Cathy Wever is also in a hold and secure - same information that all staff and students are safe.

@lesmisofficial Colin Wilkinson, 1998, Toronto. Still gives goosebumps.

[Laura Farr @LauraEAFarr]

@melanielabarrie Colin Wilkinson in Toronto, 1998 at the Princess of Wales Theatre. Same place &Juliet played!

@PaulWilsonInHam There were some very dry plants in the windows there up until about 2-3 years ago.

@ThatEricAlper Ryan Gosling saved me from a bad date once. Nothing other than “hey, you can sit with us” followed up with a “hey, she’s sitting with us now” to the guy I was on the date with. He didn’t have to, but he did. It was appreciated, and there was no creepy intent.
