I yearn for the confidence of the man I saw this morning: 7:15am in the Maple Leaf lounge at the airport, walking up to the self-serve beer tap (with a ‘closed’ sign underneath) and with a crowd lined up for coffee staring at him, casually pours himself a pint. #legend #canadaday

1 thing I think @JonHaidt & I got wrong in our 2018 book COTAM is that we ended on a hopeful note even though we thought the problem was going to get worse before it got better. Now we both think we are in serious trouble for a long time coming https://t.co/gijRIRmrLI

My latest, on why governments should stop messing around and just implement vaccine mandates already https://t.co/JWJ8Hwam3f

Pretty amazing that a little over a year after this pandemic started, we’re getting vaccinated. Grateful to those who dedicated their lives to science and medicine to make this happen. #astrazenecavaccine #goscience

Today is @BCook_YYZ 20th anniversary at TD! We celebrated virtually by changing background screens to match Brendan’s office. A great tribute to a fantastic leader! #withyouinyourhomeoffice #insidejokesaboutcows #virtualcheers

As a parent, I drastically underestimated how many times I would use the phrase “what happened to your face?!” to my kids. #dontbotherthedogwhilesheissleeping

@JFJ_YYZ Yes, our older dog has entered his surly ‘get-off-my-lawn’ stage of life. I should note that my wife often wonders if I’m drifting into that stage as well!

[Pat Giles @PatGiles213]

Well, we did it: a new puppy addition to the family. And then yes, we dressed them up for a Halloween picture (I know...). Hope this is a happy break in people’s otherwise political doomscrolling activity. #puppytraining #canttakeoureyesoffofherforaminuteorshewillpeeinthebasement

This is so perfect.

Relative to population, the US is now recording 14 times as many cases as Canada.

Only twelve weeks ago, the US was recording just 2 times Canada's cases.

Canada got better. The US got Trump. Latest in @TheAtlantic

@DevonAjram Most accurate poll ever!

A resounding defeat for me in my household election. And I thought I had the 3- and 6-year old boys demographic locked up! #teachkidsaboutelections #ElectionDay

@BlanchardG13 Wise beyond their years, my friend!

@quinng2two I had a feeling my eat-your-veggies stance was too progressive...
