Cheerleader of #opengov in Canada. I like old books and confetti cannons (not at the same time). Views are my own.

Big thanks to @1001TrueNorthFM for joining us at our #opengov engagement session in Yellowknife! Looking forward to working with folks in the North on our 6th National Action Plan on Open Government for the @opengovpart. 🍁 https://t.co/AFOVsrYG5L

@DJ_Pare It's definitely looking that way. I like the idea of blue skies 😌

[Cara Scarfone @CaraPhrase]

@OpenDataSociety Will this merch be available at the Summit??

[Cara Scarfone @CaraPhrase]

Super grateful for the new #glutenfree KD from @kraftdinner, but this packaging is barreling toward a misunderstanding!

@TheAuthorGuy So much has happened since this was originally posted that I couldn't even remember which scary and unnerving thing it was referring to. 🫤

[Cara Scarfone @CaraPhrase]

Ended up downloading @OneRepublic's Artificial Paradise on Spotify (like the youngsters do) and have been playing it on repeat for 3 days, but will still be going to @sunriserecords for the actual CD. #oldschool #millenial

Felt every minute of my age when I went into Best Buy and asked if they still sell CDs. The associate looked so confused - "Blank CDs? DVDs?" I felt so old trying to explain that I was looking for a music CD. 👩‍🦳

@VassB As a celiac, this kind of stuff scares me. GF food is so much more expensive than regular food, we should be able to trust that it's not going to make us sick!

@kevinbparry As a Cara, these discussions make me do a double-take every time a post goes by on my timeline. Just know that this Cara supports you too! 😀
