Usually my wife and I only exchange cards on Valentines Day. Without knowing, we both added a bag of dark chocolates this year. Luckily she bought strawberry flavoured and mine were cherry. It would be weird if they were the same.

My wife assures me that Tubbs is a brand of snowshoes and not an indication of size. #snow #Tubbs #Restoule

Enten: "If Canadians really don't like Donald Trump, how do Americans feel about Canada? Well, they actually like Canada! ... even among Republicans, it's +30 ... Canada -- more popular than Donald Trump in Trump's own country"

I was sorry I couldn't get to the cemetery when Minnie died I wasn't too good, but I was sorry to miss you why didn't you call. I have seen Elsie Grafton and she said you asked after Elsie and yes she is still at the same address, you know George died didn't you she got a job on market research.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Your tax dollars at work, America. FBI agents working around the clock trying to prove Trump won Georgia in 2020 instead of investigating wealthy fraudsters and con artists because they don't get prosecuted anymore since Trump took office.

Happy Canada Y'all! Here's me with Ian Tyson, Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot RS

When we talk about authoritarianism, it’s not just Donald Trump. Musk owns X Bezos owns Twitch Zuckerberg owns Instagram and Facebook Larry Ellison controls TikTok Billionaires increasingly control what we see, hear and read.

Sadly, this is NOT satire.

“A few days ago, sunspot 4366 didn't exist. Now it is a behemoth almost half the size of the great Carrington sunspot. Rapid growth is making the sunspot unstable. It has unleashed dozens of solar flares in past 24 hours, including a powerful X8-class flare” www.spaceweather.com

Happy Snowhog Day!

Because when it comes to life and death decisions, I want my primary identity to be "consumer."

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps. This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Trump tells everyone not to worry about his large box labeled "Plans to Take Over the World"

Blanche won’t investigate the killing of an innocent woman on camera but they’ve got all hands on deck for a church service being interrupted

The Bob Comedy Revue is the longest running comedy show in Canada. Started by a janitor named Robert Beare at Victoria College in 1872, it has continued to run since then. Many comedians and performers have been part of it through the years. This is the story. 🧵 1/7

Yup RS

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

I’m old enough to remember when a headline like this would be unimaginable

When I was a young city kid, I was lucky enough to have a couple of uncles who were farmers. For several summers, Mom and us kids would spend a couple of weeks camping at my Uncle Doug and Aunt Bea's dairy farm outside of Picton. I have quite a few memories of "helping" out on the farm...

Granny's diverse skill set encompassed roles such as mountain doctor (MD), barber, skilled hunter, chemist, accomplished cook, expert marksman, and master distiller. Quite the lady.

Elizabeth McMaster of Toronto changed the world. Insulin, Pablum, and a sharp decline in infant mortality in Canada can be traced to her efforts to create a children's hospital in Toronto in the 1870s. She dedicated herself to helping others and this is her story. 🧵 1/8
