It’s one of the wildest investigations I’ve ever worked on. A tropical island. 210 kilos of cocaine. 12 Canadians trapped in ‘paradise’ for 8 months. Tampered evidence. Shady and mysterious events in the Dominican Republic and in Canada.

One of the oldest women in Canada has just died of Covid 19. Foon Hay Lum was 111. Her death brings to 26 the number of victims at her LTC home this month. She survived the Spanish Flu, wars, the Cultural Revolution- and she died in isolation in Toronto tonight.

I had the privilege of being in Pete Reed’s orbit- documenting his makeshift hospital in ISIS controlled Mosel, Iraq in 2017. Pete’s beautiful life has ended in Bakhmut Ukraine. Rescuing injured civilians-his ambulance was shelled.There aren’t enough words to describe this loss.

Some personal news:
The scariest words ever said to me were "You have cancer". Now 11 years later I have heard words that are even more frightening. "Your cancer is back. Stage 4." I found out two days before Christmas and I admit it has taken time to process.

It’s the same thing every morning. I wake up and read these tweets and check (with ever fading hope)that they are from a parody account and not the President of the United States of America.
....Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star.....
