@CBCOlympics Can the commentators please explain the arm flapping? Thanks!

Hey, where the Australian men’s #basketball spandex suits!? #Olympics

[Donnovan Bennett @donnovanbennett]

The reason I love the @Olympics is that it forces everyone to pay attention to women's sport. Studies show female athletes receive just 4% of sports media coverage. In Tokyo thus far they are 100% of @TeamCanada's medals. #Tokyo2020 #TeamCanada

[Donnovan Bennett @donnovanbennett]

As usual and unsurprisingly we’re being carried by our women. 60% of @TeamCanada and 100% of our medallists thus far at #Tokyo2020 are female. #TeamCanada #TokyoOlympics

Sharing Spirit Bear’s Guide to Reconciliation. Rather than celebration on this #CanadaDay, today we are taking time to listen, learn and reflect.

Good day for women in sports! Boxer #MandyBujold won her legal fight and will now be able to compete in the #TokyoOlympics. Coming to their senses, @Tokyo2020 also announced that breastfeeding athletes can now bring their children to the Games. Bravo #KimGaucher! 🥊🏀🇨🇦

[Lauren @l_k_h]

I stand with Mandy Bujold. She deserves to compete. Female athletes deserve better. Women deserve better.

Today, I booked a Covid vaccine appointment for later this week AND the #census2021 came in the mail. What a wonderful Monday!

[Lauren @l_k_h]

@richardzussman Saw this tweet and got on the phone to book my appointment. Thank you for sharing the news!

@VaxHuntersCan Pregnant women were just fast-tracked. I called the registration line with my BC Service Card in hand and now have an appointment this week. So excited. Keep checking @VaxHuntersCan to find my husband a spot! Thank you for this awesome public service!

There are rare moments in the #UNGA when one is allowed to feel genuine emotion. The courage of Myanmar Ambassador Khaw Moe Tun today is awe inspiring. It is not Tatmadaw vs NLD. It is Tatmadaw vs the people of Myanmar, as Ambassador Christine Burgener pointed out today.

Saddened that Picasso’s #Guernica is being removed from outside UNSC. When international meetings so often engage in abstract accounting of violence, this monumental, vivid, & chaotic masterpiece serves as a transcendent reminder of the fundamental horror of war (1/2)

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

76 years ago today over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi #Auschwitz camp, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today we all remember. We must remember. | #Auschwitz76

I've been thinking about this "shoulders back, chin up" moment all day, so I went back to find it. Here it is:

[Lauren @l_k_h]

Happy to have just followed the new @POTUS account, after a four year leave. Congratulations to Joe Biden and @VP Kamala Harris. Canada looks forward to working with you to make the world a better place.

(As my 17 mo daughter said this morning watching the inauguration, “yay!”)
