@chadgestson I'm a retired educator from Canada. Saw your interview on CNN. Eastern Canadian municipalities have VERY low case numbers largely because of the same reason your acknowledging: mandatory mask wearing and getting vexed! You are saving lives!!! Way to go!!

Again, keep an eye out for motorcyclists!! Two accidents in NS, in a single day, sparks the importance of driving with care. They have very little protection! Texting while driving increases the chances for a collision. Remember: It's more deadly for motorcyclists than others!

@vianne_timmons @VOCMOpenline @MemorialU @LabInstitute A little late, by almost 4 months in fact, but it's never too late to comment on this meaningful post. Having spent almost my entire teaching career in Labrador, I completely understand the excitement in Dr. Timmons' voice! I share in her love for the place, and the flag!

@JustinTrudeau @G7 Great work, Prime Minister! Keep up the logical and intelligent debate, on the international stage, while continuing to make Canadians proud of your approach to international diplomacy! Safe travels!

@TheEllenShow ....Why not become a real live 'Come From Away' by visiting Newfoundland Labrador, Canada, and sampling our unique and treasured culture and people! Let us share some love, like the love you share so freely with others on your show! Thanks!

[Derrick Sheppard BA(Ed), DSR, AGDDE(T), A Th., MEd @SheppardDerrick]

@MaryLTrump From Canada..... Thanks for all you're doing, Mary. Read your book and viewed your media interviews! Very enlightening! Love your informed, logical insight; a rationale and significant contribution! Well done! Keep doing what you're doing! Thank you!

Hold Fast Newfoundland and Labrador, and Happy #May24! 🏕️ 🥰

@Gerry_Byrne @GovNL @IPGS_GovNL Well done, Gerry! Positive reviews are perfectly understandable and justified! The advertisement also highlights the potential for a vibrant adventure tourism industry in our province! Such is the 'latent' value in such advertising initiatives! Great stuff!

@EddieSheerr A low like a 'cinnamon bun'? Really Eddie? Love it! Can't wait to see what a donut looks like! Lol

@CBCSuhana You’re interviewing a husband and father who lost his precious wife and daughter, while in the background you’re showing emergency personnel carrying body bags from the crash site. I’d expect more compassion from CBC in respect for this kind and distraught man.

[Dr. Janice Fitzgerald @CMOH_NL]

Children learn what they live. Please remember that the lessons your child learns in this pandemic will have a lasting impact on how they treat others throughout their lives. No one is too old or too young to learn the importance of treating others with respect. ❤

[Derrick Sheppard BA(Ed), DSR, AGDDE(T), A Th., MEd @SheppardDerrick]

@mtgreenee My goodness, you're a real winner. Glad you're not a Canadian! Admittedly, you provide great entertainment for us, though! Lol

[Derrick Sheppard BA(Ed), DSR, AGDDE(T), A Th., MEd @SheppardDerrick]

@vianne_timmons @MemorialU @grenfellcampus @marineinstitute @LabInstitute @munharlow I'm so proud of President Timmons for taking Memorial University to new heights! Modern approaches to curriculum development and distance learning is both insightful, and innovative, for so many aspiring academics to engage and enjoy! Happy International Women's Day!

Seatbelts are mandatory. They protect the people who wear them. Why aren’t vaccines mandatory? They protect people who get them and people around them. The science on both seat belts and vaccines is clear. #covid19nfld

[Dr. Janice Fitzgerald @CMOH_NL]

❗️ Remember, we all possess the tools and the ability to protect against this virus and stop the outbreak. The same public health measures we have been practicing throughout the year will protect us now:

[Allison King @AllisonKing709]

[Dr. Janice Fitzgerald @CMOH_NL]

I have a huge favor to ask of you all today.

It's one that can make a huge difference... If you haven't already done so, please download the #CovidAlert App. Having it will have a huge impact on our fight against the spread of COVID-19 in NL. 🙏
