Rita MacNeil was one of the most beloved Canadian singers from the 1980s onward.
Her music outsold that of Garth Brooks and she was a fixture on television, including a memorable cameo on Trailer Park Boys.
This is the story of Rita MacNeil!

Partisans are being dumb again.

Yes, Conservatives, Mark Carney wasn't "elected." But Prime Ministers aren't elected directly. You of course know this.

And, yes, Liberals, Carney is Prime Minister. But it would be far better if he had a seat. You know that, too.

Rutabagas are a staple! I wouldn’t eat a Sunday dinner without them. Boil with carrots and mash with butter, they are the perfect pair. Also, I grew up on the east coast and we referred to them as turnip.

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

Like, what are rutabagas? Do you play cricket with them? Bowl? What?

[The Culturist @the_culturist_]

The ancient philosophers spoke ideas that changed the world. Some, like Socrates, were executed for it.

Over 2,000 years later, their words are just as relevant — so here are 10 pearls of ancient wisdom... 🧵
