@ctvottawa I was also impacted by this. Incredibly frustrating. The fact that half are missing suggests a problem. And these ballots aren’t actually counted until after 8 pm on election day. Why do they have to be received 10 days in advance?

PLEASE SHARE MY VIDEO❤️I am thrilled and honoured to share this simple song with you today. A song, that I trust, invokes within you, the love, passion and respect, for all who have contributed to the tapestry of this great nation.

From the ancient beginnings of our magnificent Indigenous Peoples, to the times of those who made the ultimate sacrifice while fighting against the horrors of despotism and tyranny, Canada has, and always shall be…Strong & Free.

When respected and honoured, Canada is a friend, an ally, and a beacon of hope for the millions she holds in her embrace today and for the millions yet to come.

Canada is NOT a coin to be placed into a slot machine, nor a card to be turned over on a gambling table. Canada is NOT something to be politicized, bartered for, nor sold.

I trust you will enjoy and embrace this simple song. A song and a tale that chooses no sides in the elitist, political arena. It comes to you as a celebration of Canada’s beauty and as a call to action, encouraging you to cherish and protect the freedoms we enjoy today.

With Glass Tiger, I have travelled the world carrying Canada’s message of friendship, including, to almost every “nook and cranny” within the great nation we call the USA. While travelling and performing there I have shared wonderful times with great people, who, like most of us, want only to live in peace and harmony with the rest of the world. I have also broken bread and shared fellowship in war zones with the brave men and women of our militaries, allied together to defend the freedoms that so many take for granted.

My friends, whether you be Canadian, American, or from wherever you call home, this is “Canada’s Song,” and I am asking a favour of you today. PLEASE SHARE don’t just hit the like button. SHARE the video with your loved ones, your friends, your neighbours, your cat and dog if ya have one. SHARE IT TO THE WORLD! Let’s rescue our freedom from the clutches of those who would have us bow to their self-serving whims. Thank you in peace and harmony, Alan ❤️

@OttawaCitizen Out of all of the photos that you have of Coun. Deans, this is the one that you choose for your story? This only adds to the disrespect experienced by Coun. Deans yesterday. Perhaps the Ottawa Citizen should apologize as well. @dianedeans @OttawaCitizen

Who said that astronauts can't dance? Sorry... synchro-space-swim.

@maryktaggart I second this recommendation, this is a poignant and beautiful book that will stay with you long after you have finished it.

Thanks for this! Made my morning!!

[Mary Taggart @maryktaggart]

This is brilliant!

[Geri Johnston @gljottawa]

@dalybeauty @LizaHerz Yes! And it gave maple leaf shaped ‘tattoos’ on the torso from where the sun shone through!

Let's be crystal clear. When Pres. Trump says that Jews who vote for Democrats show "either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty," he is summoning the forces of bigotry and anti-Semitism with all of its blood-stained history.

It’s once again time for that curious Canadian tradition of shovelling the snow we’ve been removing from our driveways BACK ONTO our driveways so that it melts. Btw it’s 13.4° at noon. Milder than we have been all year. #ottnews #ottweather #ONStorm
