@ThatEricAlper … Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more..."

Thanks for that much love, Canada and the World!
I'm so honoured that @YouTube has installed billboards displaying my work in major Canadian cities with the words "Taught people to dance. Moved the whole country."
This one is from Yonge-Dundas Square in Toronto.
Thanks, YouTube!

I tested positive for delta a few weeks ago, 1.5 mos. after full vaccination. Only symptom: a sore throat. Good news: All my contacts tested negative twice, incl. my unvaccinated kids and my vaccinated spouse -- suggesting vaccination cut transmission.

@jonathan_pinto Agreed! Felt the same way when I made haskap muffins.

Little spirits 💔

Let's never forget them, or forget what is taking place today. Talk about it at your dinner tables, with your children, with strangers.

Keep digging for the truth.

Typical trash heaped on journalists. On the daily. Thank you for your continued courage, @LaurenPelley

Anger around the pandemic can be a positive catalyst, @jamesmaskalyk told @mattgallowaycbc, as long as it “trends towards peace.”

When the pandemic ends, he hopes we “extend that notion of caring” to places dealing with health crises long before #COVID19

This morning, our toddler tried bringing her beloved Elmo to daycare, which isn't allowed. To help diffuse the situation, I promised that I'd take her red monster on an exciting trip to @CBCSudbury, Dad's workplace. She reluctantly agreed.
