I was excited to be part of Cineplex’s “We Are the Champions” video shoot on Friday at The Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto. It will be screened each night at @TIFF_NET in September. It was also great to reconnect with old @newchoirTO friends, like Graham and Trudy.

Boosters for @StevenDelDuca pushing in residents' doorways today reprints of an ethnic newspaper story detailing a *meh* in-community lawsuit against his #PC opponent. Low blow, Steven. Tsk tsk tsk. Vacuous, and not even borderline moral or manly. #Liberal, right? #onpoli #OnElxn

Congratulations to @fordnation. Restoration from the shadow of a nasty coup begins today. Hope returns. Let the people arise. #pcpo #onpoli

Better Newspapers Competition judging season is in full swing across Canada. I look forward to this rite of pre-Spring as much as #Timmys #RollUptheRim that follows! #SWNAinfo

Passionate @TorontoPolice work on midtown sidestreet, and a $35 ticket worth its weight in gold. https://t.co/Dww00MKqZ9 A year later, former @TPS53Div cop on hand to see critical case through. #Toronto #heavyhanded #policing

While taking bow for movie depicting it as champ of gov’t transparency, @washingtonpost urges keeping public eyes off evidence #FBI & #DOJ used Russian-sourced dirt, bought fr foreign agt by #HillaryClinton camp, to trick court into OK to spy on @realDonaldTrump campaign? #irony

#DougFord vs. #JohnTory could’ve been a boon for TO journos: the gall of bald populism vs. the dark soul of knee-jerk virtue signaling. But @fordnation is sidetracked by sudden blood-letting in the #OntarioPCParty tomb. Drat. Expect storylines anyway. #onpoli #pcpo

@fordnation vs. @JohnTory could have been a boon for journos: the gall of bald populism vs. the dark soul of knee-jerk virtue signaling. But the pit bull’s been sidetracked by blood-letting at the usually bland @OntarioPCParty. Ah well. Expect storylines anyway. #onpoli #pcpo

I've finally revamped my website https://t.co/y83Izztapm to include commentary and insight on community #journalism in #Canada — a passion of mine — along with presentation of original education tools for #reporters. The library *is* expanding!

Bravo! Brava! @nationalballet performance of #SwanLakeNBC last night was enthralling! #friendsagain

[Dan Hoddinott @DanHoddinott]

Blair and I back at @nationalballet. Pinocchio is forgiven them. Looking forward to #SwanLakeNBC at its finest.

Here's why Mr. Wonderful @kevinolearytv is dead to me: https://t.co/btvUkuY2IW. And why @CPC_HQ is DOA in 2019. #cdnpoli #cpc #roft #pttory

[Dan Hoddinott @DanHoddinott]

Here's why I say to @nationalballet : "A pox on your house!" Read https://t.co/hvNskBYmwU . Pinocchio deserved to be in better company.

[Dan Hoddinott @DanHoddinott]

Ridiculous, incongruous CanCon jammed jarringly into a splendid re-work of a timeless treasure killed #PinocchioNBC. Reckless irreverence.

[Dan Hoddinott @DanHoddinott]

Wh-wh-what just happened? It's like The Rick Mercer Report was just dropped into the middle of brilliantly re-imagined #PinocchioNBC. YUK!

[Dan Hoddinott @DanHoddinott]

Blair and I at the @nationalballet. #PinocchioNBC. Lights! Noses! Action!
