Every year we take our Grade 6’s to @chaptersindigo and they pick out a book for themselves ( for Farewell) and a book they choose to add to our collection. A book that they really loved, so they can leave a piece of themselves behind…

I just saw @JanisIrwin at Otto and my husband told me that I was not allowed to go at hi because she was eating dinner. “But I love her” I said. “I know” he said.

Tonight I was picking up dinner on 124th & I passed @Paulatics . I couldn’t figure out what to call her. Ma’am (*tips fake hat), M’Lady (*curtsey), Senator Simmons? By the time I figured it out she was half a block away… so I whispered to myself, “ Hello Paula” #fangirl

Hey @cbcnews . Maybe when the women’s hammer throw winners do their press conference, you can show up. It was embarrassing to see the men’s hammer throw winners have to interview EACH OTHER because almost no one showed up…not even Cdn media.

So it’s too dangerous for grown adults who can sit 6 feet apart and wear masks to be safely at work at the Leg- but it’s OK for teachers and education staff who are not getting priority vaccines to be in a room with 25-30 kids? Who come from 30 different cohorts? #ResignKenney
