@Petetheplumber8 My condolences to you on the loss of Dino! Losing our pets is just awful and I know how much he’ll be missed!

@cityofcalgary @SonyaSharpYYC Instead of electric city buses maybe we should buy snowplows! Please consult with Thunder Bay or Ottawa on how to handle moderate snowfall so that we aren’t white knuckling down the major roads every time a flake falls. There IS a better way.

@FlyYYC @WestJet I do the good thing and gate check my carry-on when asked, and then I get punished for my good deed on the other end with a ridiculously long wait for baggage. Don’t think I’ll volunteer anymore, this happens every time. I could be home by now.

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@CTVJLaidlaw Thank you for your courage Jocelyn, wishing you a speedy recovery and all the stamina to fight this thing that you need.

@RBC Hey RBC, trying to get a Mastercard to work in New Zealand - your international number doesn’t seem to work. Sat on hold for 40 minutes only to be given another number to call which is a special number for the hearing impaired. Not what I need. Customer service please!

@TawnieO Haha! On the basis of this tweet I started watching ‘Prey’…a British crime drama. I keep waiting for the dog, but no. Now I see I’m watching the wrong show! It’s very good too, fyi!

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@citynewscalgary Guys, who is the host at this time? We cannot understand him! More coaching required!

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@CTV @BellMediaPR You've sacked Lisa LaFlamme? What a transparently sexist and ageist decision. First Canada AM was replaced by that pap called Your Morning which I have never been able to watch, and now this. Shame on you all.

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@LisaLaFlamme_ Thank you for your years of excellence in journalism, your steady hand on the tiller, and your amazing wardrobe! You will be terribly missed.

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@spydergrrl Also the fact that Canadians are better served by a workforce that is distributed across the country. Break the Ottawa bubble!

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@MariekeWalsh Reactive policy making to issues in other countries is poor policy making no matter how much we may agree with it. Canada continues to define ourselves by what we are not - we are not American.

@cbcrob Rob, you seem to know how to resolve the blockade! Why don’t you go down there and fix it for us? Outstandingly rude and ignorant interview.

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@TawnieO Having trouble word painting ‘gumdrops’ or ‘mistletoe’?! Ho Ho Ho 😄

@TawnieO Omg!! I have not heard these things!!! Horrifying!!

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@TawnieO Better clarify...news and you are the only non vile things on Twitter!!

[Brigit Knecht @justfiddlin]

@TawnieO I wondered where you went! Strange that you kept Twitter..it’s the vilest of platforms. I only read news and you on here!
