How much is Trump disliked in Canada? I’m the editor of a newspaper op-ed section, and I regularly hear from readers asking me not to use his picture in my pages, because just seeing it ruins their day

@rwrandall As a pedestrian I have only been knocked off my feet once. By a guy on a mobility scooter on Douglas just north of Yates. He smiled at me but did not stop. Sigh.

Cycling to work this morning @ Quadra and Johnson and a guy in a mobility scooter runs a red light and comes literally within inches of getting completely smoked by an oncoming car. I yelled at the dude but he just kept going, completely oblivious. Incredible to watch.

@TristinHopper For the record, he died in Ontario but was buried in Saanich.

I found the first premier of Saskatchewan! One of thousands of Saskatchewanians who died as far away from Saskatchewan as they could.

@Pagmenzies They should have kept the Times Colonist, it seems; their numbers would have been better. Of course, that assumes they could have left us alone.

Postmedia thankful for government assistance as revenue tumbles in advertising by $14.4 million (22.1%) and circulation revenue by $7.1 million (17.8%). Operating expenses slashed accordingly. postmedia.com/2024/01/10/pos…

@MacleanKay And what you learn as a parent will help you to manage adults.

Having a kid means being asked “do I *have* to go to school, it’s too cold and probably closed” and also “do I really have to wear my coat, I’m not even cold,” by the same person, within 45 seconds. In many ways a career in politics was the best possible training for parenthood.

Still electrifying after all these years.
🎸 Rock History 🎸@historyrock_
The Beatles performing "Twist & Shout", 1964. This was one of the first appearances of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. For the many who witnessed The Beatles' early appearances on British television, this song is synonymous with those exciting era-defining times.

@kirklapointe @AprilWineBand I interviewed him for the Vernon News in about 1975. Nice guy.

With the help of legendary #MichaelCohl, we booked @AprilWineBand to Massey Hall for an Etobicoke student-only high school show in the mid-70s. They killed. Interviewed him a few years ago for his book, which has the very, very best stories of the road. A true Canadian original.

@BobKronbauer @j_mcelroy Like Vernon, back in the days when they had the best city hall reporter ever

When you’re in a small BC town and you notice that you can walk into their council chamber FROM THE MAIN STREET in the middle of the day when there’s no meeting happening and you can think of one journalist who might be interested in that tidbit

@nspector4 An excellent choice! Have I ever mentioned that all McKennitts in Canada are related?
