Just watched Goodbye June and had the cry I always need to have. I love crying. I used to be embarrassed and ashamed when I cried. I felt it made me look weak and vulnerable. But now? Now I embrace it and recognize it as exactly the gift it is. My deepest emotions breaking free, allowing me to feel

The rage online is big. It needs to now demonstrate itself in the real world and turn into mass protests, impeachments, trials and leaders of character need to stand up to repair the country. Then and only then will America heal. Until then it’s just online rage.

It’s hard not to be disillusioned and deeply disappointed in some people, who were my business hero’s, who have just accepted that what’s happening down south is ok because it’s supposedly good for the economy.

@Cher is my hero.

Just had a convo with someone and I said “that’s the $64,000 question”. And they said don’t you mean the million dollar question and I suddenly feel very old.

I’ve been in boardrooms for 3 decades and can absolutely promise you it’s not women who are ruining the workplace. Not our vices. Not our voices. Not our views. And not our feminism. @nytimes

What do we need? What do we want for ourselves? Food. A home. Clean water. Love. A good, fair-paying job. Equal opportunity. Accessible health care. Free education. Reliable transportation. Community.

Canadian falls are the best. I love the crisp air, the crunchy apples, the colourful leaves, the root vegetables, the starry evening skies and wearing cozy sweaters! ❤️🇨🇦

What are we now - in grade 2? Putting tariffs on Canada to retaliate against an ad is so childish. Is there a corner he can go stand in while he thinks about his behaviour? Signed moms everywhere.

The Conservative Party has lost its way. It needs to stop mimicking the exact same US narratives and stop creating fear and using exaggeration to make a case for being in power. This is Canada. We are smarter and not easily fooled and we have the benefit of seeing what’s happening to the south.

Honestly is there any better feeling than coming home at the end of a day or evening out, taking off your shoes, work or dressy clothes, bra, removing your makeup, all of your jewellery, tying your hair up and putting on comfy sweat pants and a sweatshirt? I think not.

This is your daily reminder that climate change is real, Tylenol is safe, God doesn’t love Christian Americans more than anyone else and science deals in facts not falsehoods. ✌🏻

Turns out “happily ever after” at Disney really means “until the market opens”.

I just picked up a photo in a frame and tried to zoom in on it using my fingers.

True faith isn’t about excusing hate, bigotry, or misogyny. Defending that behaviour just because someone shares your religion isn’t faith it’s hypocrisy. A bad person can hide behind any faith, and a kind person can live without one. Faith doesn’t excuse cruelty, & decency doesn’t depend on belief.

Solo travel tip; you don’t miss out by doing things on yoir own. You miss out by not doing them.

Hint: if you want a Nobel Peace Prize don’t proudly create a Department of War.

Imagine time travelling to a measles epidemic in the 1800’s and telling people that one day, thru the miracle of science and medicine, there’d be a vaccine to prevent it. And that by the year 2000 it would be declared eradicated!

In case you think they’re going to wake up. They’re not.

Children around the world have become the greatest victims of intense greed and power lust Their health. Their safety. Their families. Their food. Their shelter. Their lives. Their ability to enjoy childhood. From Gaza to Washington.

Star date: August 2, 2025. The sun rose this morning over Canada. The people yawned, had their morning coffee, read their social feeds, scratched their heads and carried on. ❤️🇨🇦

There are two things making this moment possible. First, a narcissistic bully who thrives on power, greed, and control. Second, a chorus of enablers so desperate to stay close to him, and feed off him, that they’ll echo whatever he says, no matter how untrue or dangerous.

I believe there’s been 60 trade-related announcements from the US (including letters, tariffs, orders, etc.) since January. (Give or take a few 🤷🏻‍♀️) As of right now 6 of them are actually in effect.

Nincompoop. Look it up. A word worth having in your vocabulary.

In a world of chaos be a Canada.

Hold onto your real history books America. Guard them for the precious words and lessons they are. You’re seriously going to need them as the truth gets rewritten and the facts conveniently lost.

Very proud to be advising and investing in Gander a 🇨🇦 social media platform designed by, for and with Canadians! 🇨🇦. I’m joining a great team including @ambermac and other Canadian tech & biz leaders. Here’s the story in the Globe & Mail! Go Canada Go! 🇨🇦❤️ www.theglobeandmail.com/business/eco...

No man who fuels division in his own country can ever be trusted as a world peacemaker.

All you need to do is put him in a beautiful country he wants but can’t have, not let him control the room, and poof he vanishes. It’s Canadian magic.

My dad taught me strength and courage so I could carry on after he left this earth. That was his gift. I miss him. I’m grateful for him. ❤️

That was one big beautiful protest America!

How it began…

Men. So emotional.

PM Carney is moving at the speed of business, with the smarts of new age politics, and a will of iron. It’s refreshingly strong, purposeful and different. Change is happening and political nonsense right along with it. The dams of bureaucracy are being broken. Let’s go Canada. 🇨🇦.

My new podcast has reached 14k subscribers!! Huge for us and huge thanks to all who’ve subscribed (it’s free!) We’re a mighty, growing community of single folks who know that being alone doesn’t mean being lonely. Fantastic guests and raw open, honest convos! 👇🏻 www.youtube.com/@ArleneIsAlone

Of all the offers we are considering we can promise you this is not one of them. ❤️🇨🇦

“The true North is indeed strong and free” Elbows up Canada. 🇨🇦

I am left believing that this obvious destruction of law, education, healthcare and the old economy is what Americans really want. They see the reconstruction of a new America, led by an autocrat, being better for them. There is simply no other explanation for what’s happening.

Harvard is a shining light of courage that stands tall amidst a sea of cowardly bended knees.

People who cheer on inhumane treatment of refugees/immigrants are abhorrent. Lowest of the low. The idea that those who’ve fled for their lives from country’s that are abusive/cruel, and that they’re all criminals, is a ridiculous construct to permit vile behaviour. Fed up with humanity right now.

When you can’t get a word in edgewise you need to make sure your words really count when you do. Proud Canadian here. 🇨🇦

Just listened to Prime Minister Carney’s press conference. Confident. Calm. Clear. Have to say it’s refreshing to hear no theatre from a politician, just real leadership. It feels like we’re closer to the politicsl middle than we’ve been in a long time, and that reflects who we are as a country.

What’s the best thing that happened today in your world? Let’s share some good news! I’l go first: I received a really nice email from someone I haven’t t seen in years. Was so kind and made my day. Your turn. 👇🏻.
