I followed Treat Williams here because of his love of Vermont & his decency & kindness. Didn't know him, but after he mowed his lawn yesterday, he was taken a few hours later. How fragile we are. So, so sad. #RIPTreatWilliams.

Honest to fuck ๐กThese are all over the supermarket parking lot. Can you not get a hold of yourself and pitch in and throw these in the garbage properly? What is wrong with people? Weโre supposed to try and get through this together.

Sad news as it was announced that Canadian artist John Little has passed. A national treasure who has left behind an astonishing body of work. Just reading his name made me think of home. RIP John.

Good morning. with just 2 shows to go, I just want to say thank you this morning. For the joy, the laughs, the music, the cards, the letters, the good wishes, and more kindness that could fill 2 lifetimes these last 35+ years. I will miss all of it. Thank you. Merci Montreal. โค๏ธ

Man, @AC360 is such an honest and great broadcaster. This is a nice moment here. He runs with his emotions and that's hard to do in this moment. .
You said "what punishment of gods are not gifts. Do you really believe that?" @andersoncooper, choking back tears, asks Stephen Colbert, as they discuss grief. "Yes," replies the comedian. "It's a gift to exist and with existence comes suffering. There's no escaping that."

Watching the news tonight really saddened me. Whatโs happened to the Canadian love of civility, kindness, manners & quiet strength? These ugly, hate filled moments while flying the Canadian flag is so sad. Hope there is some calm to be found this weekend.

In 1985, when we came up with the idea of a "radiothon" to help the Missing Children's Network, we couldn't get anyone to agree to come be a guest. No one knew "radiothons" or the network. And this man said "of course I'll be there" I'm eternally grateful to the late M. Beliveau

Mr. Mulroney always does the country proud on the international stage.
