My heart has been shattered. We had to make the agonizing decision to say goodbye to our most loved dog. Nova was family. There is so much hate & anger happening around the world right now, but today pls let me share the joy & love this family was blessed to have with this

No matter your cause, frustration or perceived hardship, you are void of a soul if you think that this is acceptable in any manner. Terry Fox ran over 5000km with no convoy. This real Canadian hero was alone & in pain. He didn’t want the spotlight he wanted a cure for cancer.

How about u head to a local school & spend 6 hours in a room with 30 kids & no AC, & then let me know if it is still “June - so what”. Parts of Eastern 🇨🇦 are enduring all time record heat & it is indeed dangerous, suggesting otherwise is reckless.

Honest question here. Can a DR please tell me why some of you start booking patients for 9:30am …but you don’t arrive at the office until 10:30?? This waiting room is packed and I can assure you all of our time is as important as yours.

Today in Goodable:
A mother once called into PBS, asking if Mr. Rogers could send an autograph to her daughter.
She was suffering from seizures and set to have brain surgery.
When Mr Rogers heard about it, he flew to see her in the hospital. He even brought his puppets along.
Make no mistake my friends, the darkest days of this pandemic are about to unfold. Forget the
@ONgov
debacle & how they handled it - RIGHT NOW we all need to focus on doing whatever it takes to keep safe and out of a hospital - period. Question every trip outside ur home.
Ontario is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis.
This isn’t happening on TV or in another country, it’s happening here & now.

cannot wait for the ICU modelling to be manifest in our hospitals before implementing the public health measures required to protect us.

It is with profound sadness that I share the loss of Toronto Police Service Constable Andrew Hong in a tragic incident today. His family will always have the full support of the Toronto Police Service. My statement is below.
#HeroesInLife
This is disgusting and also tragic. A complaint should be filed against this judge. Would he suggest a “priest” who was guilty of the same charges get house arrest because of his service to God? This adds trauma to the victims while this ex copper laughs at home.
#lockemup
Former Niagara cop sexually abused 11 women. He'll serve 18 months of house arrest
The judge said, a year and a half of house arrest was appropriate given his "long record of service to the community" as a police officer for over 28 years.
THANK YOU
My sincere thanks to each one of you for the incredible support throughout 2023.Your kindness has been a bright spot in quite a remarkable year. From my family to yours, we wish you an abundance of joy, a sprinkle of laughter, and a wealth of holiday cheer!
If u called to complain about this u are a complete moron. What type of society r we becoming? We ALL have duty in life to care for each other & that’s not only between 9-5. We also have a responsibility when it comes to technology - it’s not just for playing Angry Birds people.
It’s

Won’t reveal where (for obvious reasons) but my kids also discovered on their OWN a “tool” box?? I explained to them what
#geocaching
is. Turns out this treasure has not been found since 2014!!! We left all the prizes intact and returned the box as is. A great adventure though!
I am literally on top of the world!Today was my youngest son's first day of school. I am in awe as I watch them walking together for the 1st time. I glance to the sky & say a humble"THANK U" for this blessing - fatherhood, helping create the most amazing human beings on earth.
It’s amazing what a shot of Arctic air can create! My little explorers were excited to discover yet another ever changing playground -one that only mother nature could provide. (Of course close supervision is a must, especially near the lake).

Have we become so selfish, so cruel that we disregard anyone and everyone, including those who are already sick? Imagine, for some this has become their priority, the most important thing to do. My god, my stomach turns thinking about this.

The man who owned the “Fix-It-Shop” on Sesame Street has died. RIP “Luis” & thank you for inspiring children around the world.
He was a part of the Sesame family for 50 years. His role was so important, he helped nurture diversity, acceptance & understanding to young minds.
Today please take a moment to honour the fallen and to commemorate the brave.
Thank you to every member AND their families for the sacrifices they have made and continue to make.
Some gave all..All gave some.

@DrNadiaChaudhri
Dear Dr.Chaudhri. I cried reading your post. As a father of 2 young boys, I can’t imagine what these days have been like. Pls know there are many people surrounding u & your son with love right now. If by chance there is something a stranger can do that can help, pls let me know.
This is disgusting. Any human being that thinks this behaviour is acceptable needs psychiatric help. I don’t care what the situation is - as an adult you have a responsibility on how you conduct yourself in front of kids - period.
Can someone please tell me how is it that, we have people living in space for years, a vaccine can be created to end a pandemic in 9 months - yet we can’t stop the telephone madness of clowns offering “duct cleaning services”????
Thank you!
It appears they think experience and connection to the community during the most challenging times in recent history doesn’t matter - and that nobody will notice.
@AnwarKnight
I truly don’t know what they were thinking. They are losing touch with the community. Your contributions to community service were amazing
