Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

I’m thrilled to be nominated for the Pushcart Prize! Thank you to @syncopationlit.bsky.social for nominating me!!

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

I had the honour to serve in Parliament with Ken Dryden. He loved this country. He was a brilliant writer and one of the great hockey legends. Thank you for your service Ken. Canada is a better place because of you. You are with the angels.

Ken was a smart kind man. I loved seeing him at book events and he was always very generous with his time and loved to chat. He will be missed.

I’d be terrified and thrilled all at the same time!!

I’m thrilled to share the news that I’m being nominated for the Pushcart Prize this fall by @syncopationlit for my flash fiction story “Oh Baby, Try.” “The Pushcart Prize: Best of Small Presses Series, published every year since 1976, is the most honoured literary project in America.”

University District in NW Calgary was buzzing on Wed night (especially in front of the ice cream store!) so a great spot to pick up some signatures on our first night out for #forevercanadian @lukaszukab.bsky.social. So much more to do & so many eager to sign!

Thrilled to have my flash fiction piece “Oh Baby, Try” in Syncopation! Blue Rodeo’s music always makes me smile and brings back so many memories. @jimcuddyofficial.bsky.social @bluerodeo.bsky.social

It’s all about staying in power! Time to get rid of Danielle!

It can happen here. It is happening here.

Congratulations McGill grad! So proud of you! 👩🏻‍🎓👏💪🧐 #mcgillgraduation

Do you remember the first time you heard an amazing song? Check out my flash fiction story “Oh Baby, Try.” It’s all about Blue Rodeo’s 1987 song “Try.” Music can magically transport us back in time. @bluerodeo.bsky.social @jimcuddyofficial.bsky.social @syncopationlit.bsky.social

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social I just heard your guest recommend Waterton parks for a fellow travelling with his dog. FYI we had to cancel our trip to Waterton as we could not find any hotels or accommodations that would take dogs, sadly.

Here we go, again! Lots of great writing!

Check out my latest flash fiction piece in Volume 4, Edition 2 of @syncopationlit.bsky.social . Great writing about the amazing music of the 1980s! syncopationliteraryjournal.wordpress.com/flash-fictio...

Worth reading!!

Andrew fucking Scheer..... hahahahaha You fucks love losing.

Interim leader for the CPC Andrew Scheer 😅🥴?! Are they going to bring Stockwell Day back next?! Or Preston Manning? Let’s bring back the guys who lost! 🙄😝

There are some places that are never for sale!! One of the many reasons I voted for PM Carney!!

Way to go, McGill! 🙏

In the late 1970s, the corporate tax rate was the same or lower in Quebec than Ontario. But corporations and head offices were going the other way - from Montreal to Toronto. Stoking the coals of separatism helps nobody. It's a small and impractical idea - and it's bad for business.

Lots of talk about strategic voting in Calgary Confederation. Your vote is your vote, and there's no such thing as a wasted vote. But this is a close race between myself and Jeremy Nixon. Working together, we can get a different kind of representation for Calgary Confederation.

The Conservative platform is out and it reads like they forgot they needed one until 11pm last night. Surprising how much less substantive it is than previous CPC platforms, and it sure doesn't math. Serious times call for serious leaders and serious plans.

Calgary Confederation is too close to call. Corey Hogan and Calgarians are out in the rain & snow to earn every vote! Vote for @coreyhogan.ca to give Mark Carney a strong mandate to protect and build Canada. 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp! 🇨🇦 #yyc #yycConfed #Calgary #Alberta #abpoli #cdnpoli #Canada #CanadaSky

Earth day should be everyday. We only have one place to live

Apparently you can’t be business oriented and worry about climate change at the same time!!? 🙄😖

!!!!!

An Albertan & a Canadian! Like so many Albertans! 🇨🇦🍁

Albertans breaking out into Oh Canada while waiting for Mark Carney! Loved the patriotism in the room!

Our little Trump.

Calgary Confederation, vote Corey Hogan!! 💪👏🗳️

We spend a lot of time in the Bow Valley and proper animal crossings are needed!

Going to the @mark-carney and @coreyhogan.ca rally today in Cgy. Any idea what time we need to get in line? Can’t wait to listen to these two and show my support! 🇨🇦💪

How embarrassing that our premier is doing this! I’m not sure who she’s taking her political advice from but this just seems like a bad move!!

Always nice to be a tourist in our own backyard. This will be happening more & more. 🇨🇦 #lakeminnewanka #rockymountains

Elbows up, Canada.
