@janehissey 2/2 Why, oh why has the story changed? It is disconcerting to read the story now because all the differences jump right out at me. Can you please explain what happened?

[Paul Vanier @OldManVanier]

@janehissey 1/2 My now 27 Yr old daughter loved Little Bear's Trousers when she was little. I read it so much it is burned into my brain. I bought it now for mu granddaughter but when I read it. It was different. Subtle differences but still not exactly the same text.

#cbcgem is a joke. Ads every five minutes. If they think this will make me sign up for the premium service they are wrong. I have lots of other viewing options. Big mistake Gem. #toomanycomnetcials #badservice #dontneedyou

@TheLeadCNN Here in Canada the Chief Medical Officers of Health, provincial and federal, regularly hold press conferences and take questions from the media without any politicians present! Our political leaders trust the scientists. What a novel idea, eh?

Was in a nice restaurant with my wife when I realised our lunchtime conversation was on the relative chances of Ozekis Takayasu or Goedo achieving promotion to Yokozuna. #sumo #ilovedifferentsports #conversation #weirdshit

Hey @DoctorDC does Superman need to eat and breathe? He has spent many times doing neither. So what's the deal with this?

[Paul Vanier @OldManVanier]

Hey @DoctorDC I just heard your CBC interview and it was great! I'm a big fan and I look forward to each week's episode

@ReidVanier when I lived in Sault Ste Marie in the sixties, we only used four digits because everyone had the same area code and exchange

I guess a little graciousness is too much to ask from Americans when they lose. @hopesolo @TeamUSA

Seriously disappointed that @CBCOlympics coverage breaks for commercials. C'mon guys, let's just have some uninterrupted coverage.

Deliberately waited for a day when @ReidVanier would not be here to have a delicious rib eye steak bbq. #mouthwatering #drool

Reduced to watching infomercials and telelatino at 2:30am. Sleep is a fond memory and a fervent hope. #sleepless

Went to my neighbour about their tree that has fallen in my yard but when I knock no one is home, though someone has let their dogs out. Hmm
