This is one o my favourite pictures of my husband and our little family. My doggie is much more forgiving than the humans in my life. As I head off for 5 weeks in isolation in rehab, I am guilty, ashamed and heartbroken
I am a senior woman, who never burned a bra. However, I supported, and have benefited from all the rights that women fought for in my lifetime. PP and his MAGA fascist, misogynist Cons will take women back to the 50s. Not what I want for my granddaughter.
Although this is insignificant compared to the suffering of so many, I’m going to share my sadness. Today I officially retired as an RN and gave up my license to practice. I spent 46 years of my life caring for patients. My heart breaks to leave. Don’t let me lose my kindness
I’ve been reading the recent postings about world events and I’m so discouraged and depressed that I need to sign off. I love all my Twitter friends but I am scheduled for alcohol rehab on
#may
22 and I can’t do this anymore ❤️
Just watched The Social. They reviewed PPs apple interview, and were seemingly praising him. I’d never seen it because I can’t abide PP, but I thought he was a total, condescending, arrogant a-hole! May have to stop watching the show after 10 years!
#NobodyLikesPierrePoilievre
OK I am very sad about the Trudeau marriage ending. But before all the trolls out there start their abuse-relationships end, whether you’re a public figure or not. This has nothing to do with PMJT’s ability to lead our country. We need to respect his family now.
Happy 52nd to the hardest working PM 🇨🇦 that will not back down from the pathetic Conservatives who have absolutely ZILCH to offer the working class Canadians. Or women, LGBTQ2, the environment, indigenous or really anyone who isn’t a fat cat millionaire. I’m so grateful for him.
@grahamwalker
You have to be joking! Price in Canada 0$ for anyone with a free tetanus shot prn. I’d rather pay taxes than have people go without care! 😍🇨🇦
Shout out and sincere thanks and love to all who have reached out to me with love and support as I head out on another journey of recovery. I’m a slow learner and I pray that I get it this time! Thanks for being there for me ❤️
I’m sure no one cares, but I’m a Liberal supporter, love PMJT. I despise PP and his gang of nazis. I’m at the point of not voting because it won’t matter
Thanks to everyone who reached out to me yesterday to support my sobriety- it means so much! I’m home from Detox because I’m still Covid + but I have a great treatment plan and lots of support! Love you all 🙏❤️
Just signing out for good. There are many of you that I have loved, and I’m sorry. I cannot live through two mores years of fascism both in the US and my Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️❤️

I met my husband at 52 he was 56. He chatted me up on a one air plane flight. We were living 2500 miles apart and started a phone friendship. A year later he packed his truck, moved across country and we’re happily married 13 years later. Knew he was right for me after 1 hour.
My husband’s irises that greeted me when I got home from rehab. It’s only been a few days, but I think I got my husband back! The joy of sobriety-already seeing the benefits. Day 29

Amen. Getting my flu and Covid shots next week, because I spent 46 years as a nurse, and l believe in science. I also care about others.
I would like to say a heartfelt thanks to everyone who reached out to me yesterday to support my early sobriety. Your encouragement and love was overwhelming, and I’m so grateful! There are still many good people in this world. ❤️
@thejackhopkins
Same thing happening here in Canada. A new couple moved in to our neighborhood. They seem nice and we considered asking them to join our card group. Found out they are Conservatives. No invite for them ever. It’s a deal breaker for me now.
#NeverVoteConservative
Freedom 66! 46 years of nursing is hard to leave behind. Maybe now I can find Celia the Person and not just Celia the Nurse. And I even wore green shoes today 👠
Happy New Year to my like-minded friends here. Your friendship means a lot to me. Special shutout to those struggling with health challenges. I pray that 2024 brings us all peace and health! 👍🥳🥂❤️
Day 38. Went to my favourite AA meeting today for the first time in a year. They welcomed me back with open arms. I’m feeling so much lighter

Thanks for all that you do, Anne Marie! Please keep safe I understand your challenges. I finally had to retire after 46 years - totally burnt out and I wasn’t even on the Covid frontline. Sending hugs 🫂
@Travisdhanraj
Sorry Travis I have always respected you and I know you’re just doing your job, but I took offence to this ? and I respect Ms Freeland’s response! There is nothing more important than this and I’m glad that Canada has a presence 🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hi I’m Celia, a proud Canadian. I adore my country and will be voting for the party and PM who will save us from right wing Nazis.
Love PMJT! I thank God for the blessings of this country for my generation and our children ! ❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hi, my name is Vicki. I’m a real Canadian citizen.
I’d like to say that
@JustinTrudeau
is the best Prime Minister we’ve ever had. I’ll be voting for him in a few years so he can continue to make Canada the best country in the world.
#IStandWithTrudeau
Pass it on.
Today I received a tweet from someone who said that I was not a nurse, that I was a Corporate Government whore, because universal healthcare is bad. I blocked it. At least I know that this government whore would have treated this POS as a patient with kindness cause that’s me! 🇨🇦
@KGBure
Just recovered from Covid. Went out yesterday for the first time yesterday and today in our small northern community. Everyone still wearing masks and I will continue forever if necessary. We’re over 65 and grateful for full vaccines before contracting virus! 🤙
@merry123459
Have had every vaccine available, and hubby and I, both seniors, are both alive and well. We believe in science, and preventing the spread of disease. 👍🇨🇦
Absolutely no question Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has my vote for as long as he is willing to lead. Best Prime Minister in 50 years and quite possibly the greatest of all time.
Hi I’m Celia and I’m a alcoholic. I’ve struggled way too long with having a spiritual awakening. As a lifelong Catholic, what am I doing wrong? Please help

@POTUS
Look at the way Mr. Biden is engaged with the young man, and holding his hand! This is a man who truly cares about his country, and leads with compassion and integrity. Please dear God, don’t ever let the GOP be in charge again. 🙏🙏
I am a triple vaccinated, proud Canadian nurse. I wear a mask because I care about others. My heart is breaking for the horror that is our country today.

@nursekelsey
This is horrible. The poor children who are growing up with this a part of “normal life!” This is not normal. I live in Canada and this rarely happens because we don’t worship guns over children 🥲🥲
First lie. If Trudeau was censoring what you hear, see and say online, this little weasel wouldn’t be here shit posting lies every 15 minutes.
Second lie. We don’t have freedom of speech in Canada. That’s an American term. We have freedom of expression.
The stupid is thick.

I cannot believe that anyone would vote for either of these crooks, but especially for Doug the Thug when we all knew how corrupt he and his crime family are!
#dougfordisathug
Your days are numbered, Pierre Poilievre. Canada will reject your abrasive political style, your politcs of hate, your unfair and constant attacks on ideas and people without offering any solid plan of your own, and your constant lies and lack of accountability.

OMG the Rt Wing Christians have taken over our country! Thanks US and the Cons! I’m old enough to remember when women did not have the freedom of choice. I do not want that for my granddaughter, or any other woman
#NeverVoteConservative
I retired from nursing 2 weeks ago, after 46 years. I have not been on the frontline during Covid. Why do I feel guilty for feeling happy and relieved not having to fight for my patients? I actually sleep at night. God bless every HCW! 🙏❤️
Thought that in these dark times, I would share a nice picture. This is my husband’s Christmas cactus that we’ve had for 14 years. It blooms 2-3 time a year. Perhaps there is hope for our crazy world!

You’re right, thanks. I couldn’t vote in the last Ontario election because I was in hospital, and I feel bad about it. Despise Ford and his thugs!
Thanks to everyone who chimed in to this post. I have decided not to watch The Social anymore. Maybe we should all send our comments to

Hi Rachel I have been an RN for 45 years and I am blown away by the lack of assessment that is done for pts these days. It’s truly bandaid medicine even in ER. We have forgotten basic standards of care!
I’m watching Tim Scott on The View. I’m not buying anything he says. How can a black man defend or represent the rascist, misogynist, gun toting world of Republicans??
Just saying hi from wintery Canada. This was yesterday and it’s been snowing all day today! ❄️This is me standing and walking normally after a knee replacement-which cost me nothing!

#womenagainstpollievre
OK so I’m on a Canadians are great rant today! Also watched YouTube of Canadian Ryan Reynolds’s receiving an award. He is a proud Canadian and such an asset to our country! A philanthropist and great man. We raise great people here! 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️
Happy Saturday to all that aren’t RWNJ. The world is sad, and scary. I am normally a Scrooge who hates Christmas. Today I hung a wreath on my door. I am going to embrace the spirit of Christmas this year. 🎄🤶❤️❤️
@mhdksafa
Thank-you for your kindness. I am a retired RN who cared for people throughout my long career. Now I am a senior, and I pray that my husband and I meet caring people 👍🙏
Thanks to everyone who reminded me of the importance of voting! My hatred of anything Conservative, especially PP cannot make me apathetic!

I am a proud British born Canadian, who loved our late Queen. I have lost all respect for Prince Harry. He and his opportunistic, narcissistic wife deserve everything they get! If they wanted privacy, then just go away!
Just checking in for everyone who has been so supportive. I’m alive and still sober. Heading out on a Mediterranean cruise tomorrow. So grateful to be alive and healthy! Will check in when we get back. Love to all!

Amen, and I will vote for him, or anyone else is the Liberal party! Never would I vote for PP and his gang of fascists. He also has no plan for governing. All he does is whine and blame Trudeau!
#PierrePoilievreIsAFascist
To my left-wing, normal, humane friends, and to those of my friends who are not political, please know that my husband has told me that I’m too negative because of the doom and gloom that I hear here. He’s not wrong, but I do not want to give up the connections I have here.
@LovesTiki2
So good to hear from you, Kali! I’m sorry you’re not well. I prayed for you today at Mass. I am embracing Christmas this year. I refuse to get depressed because of the state of the world. Here is a picture of me with my tree. Sending love and hugs to you and family. ❤️❤️❤️

@nursekelsey
I love how in shows like Grey’s Anatomy, there are no nurses. The MDs do everything! And on other shows, when a nurse comes in the room, she quietly adjusts the IV which is not on a pump, and leaves the room without a word to the patient! We aren’t just servants in the background
@mynamesnotgordy
Barney we look forward to your list every Sunday! You are amazing the way you can take the bleakest news and make us chuckle. Thanks for bringing a bit of humour and hope to this horrible world. You are a God send! 😍
Since my children are not around and my parents are gone, I’ve hated Christmas! But being my age now, I don’t know how many more I have. Listening to Michael Buble singing carols feeling grateful. Love you all ❤️🎄🏡
@cowling175
Life long Catholic nurse here, who saw too much death and dying. I would never judge anyone for choosing MAID, but I could never do it myself. It is a very personal choice, which should be honoured and respected.
Today I helped a very anxious patient to get a COVID shot. Spent time talking with her and answering her?. I offered to come with her to get the shot and she agreed. I thanked her for thinking of others. Felt good - this is why I’m a nurse 👩⚕️
Remember Campaign 2000, & the all-party HoC resolution to END child poverty by the year 2000? Well, ALL parties did fuckall. Didn't budge it. Dropped off the radar. But PMJT got it done!! 1 million ppl, including 300,000 children, are now better off. That's why

@designmom
Brilliant piece! I still don’t understand why in the 21st century we are still having this debate which is kep alive my rich old white men. It’s all about control of women Glad I live in Canada but we have our share of the idiots too. Hope my granddaughter will still have choice
@SonjaCowling
Thanks for sharing, Sonja. I’m sorry you’re not well, but glad that you are getting treatment. As a person with depression and addiction, I can relate. As a nurse, the worse judgment I received, was from other nurses. Wishing you peace and comfort 🤙🫂
@KayeSteinsapir
Beautiful picture! I delivered my 2nd baby at 37 weeks unexpectedly, too. Friday of a long weekend in summer-no one to care for my 2year old. That baby is turning 40 on July 30. Seems like yesterday ❤️❤️
@JulieSDixon
Every day, but especially in times of trouble, I am so grateful that we have humane, principled leaders like PMJT and President Biden as world leaders. The world will be destroyed if Trump and his mini me PP are ever in power!
