Privatization of our Air Ambulance system would be a big mistake. For more info on: - what the current public system is & does - how the private system costs far more - solutions to keep the system public & working for the people abigmistake.ca/air-ambulance/ #nlpoli

Vigorous exercise forces the muscles to produce lactate, which then travels to the brain, triggering the production of key neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine. Low levels of norepinephrine and serotonin are linked to anxiety as they hinder our capacity to manage stress, often resulting in a state of learned helplessness. Analysis of 15 studies found that exercise, particularly vigorous exercise, is effective in alleviating symptoms of anxiety.

@ShuteNeil Sorry for your loss Neil. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Today the world lost this Unbelievable person. RIP mom, you certainly have done enough. #halloffameformams.

@nfldrigworker Our parents didn't have access to the technology we have today and most of us turned out okay... despite our best efforts. I feel your stress. Hopefully we've given them the tools they need to make good decisions.

Letting go the reins on the youngest son, taking it pretty hard to be honest. Driving around with friends is the most difficult for me. As soon as I hear a siren I have to call, make sure he is ok. He gets his license in September, I should be all in by then....

@PremierofNL @beachycoveelem @LaunShoemaker @TomOsborneMHA From first hand experience I can say well deserved! A wonderful mentor to both of our children. Congratulations M. Shoemaker! @LaunShoemaker @beachycoveelem

Congratulations to @beachycoveelem @LaunShoemaker for winning the Prime Minister’s Teaching Beyond the Curriculum Award for Teaching Excellence and Teaching Excellence in STEM. Great to meet with you and Education Min. @TomOsborneMHA.

@DrEvdLinde Powerful memories. Your experiences have served you well. Thank-you for your service.

Thank you Rodney Gaudet, President @PANL_Paramedic for a very informative meeting to discuss the health care crisis in the province from the perspective of our paramedics identify solutions.

@DrEvdLinde Much appreciated!

Cool pic!

@markcritch I'm surprised Parks Canada didn't take into account the cultural heritage of the area. Berry picking has been going on in this area for hundreds of years. Humans can be part of the ecosystem without being perceived as being destructive.

This is beyond stupid. First the fence and now a blueberry ban. Come on Parks Canada. Signal Hill is not the hill for you to die on. You don’t have to be Marconi to pick up this message.
