I saw the first dozen dandelions of the season on my Aunt's front yard. My Indigenous half smiled and delightedly took their image of spring in. My White half wanted to bulldoze the field and spread weed killer a foot thick.
Hmmm...what to do... what to do...

I loved writing THE BROTHERHOOD OF THE ROSE so much that I wanted to do another like it. THE FRATERNITY OF THE STONE stands alone & requires no familiarity w/the prior classic espionage novel. But together they form a powerful bond that culminates w/THE LEAGUE OF NIGHT AND FOG.

@BobSnz Saw them here in Calgary when Alan launched the last album. Small venue, was awesome.

The list of bands and musical artists I’ve seen live, I’d put up against most anyone. (Except my friend Patti) The list of who I’ve never seen and would very much like to is pretty small. So… Just bought tickets to see The Alan Parsons Project on their 50th anniversary tour.

I’ve been preparing a feature pitch based on a book series. It’s been such a long time since I pitched a movie… like maybe four years?

@MaritStiles Actually he was providing Saskatchewan with the break they deserve. Ontario isn't the anointed Provence in Canada. Saskatchewan has been suffering for the last three years because of the Chinese tariffs.
English
Let me be clear: Mark Carney is selling out our auto sector. China gets 49,000 guaranteed vehicle sales. Ontario workers get "expected" investment in "three years." Our workers deserve guarantees – you don't protect an industry with maybes.
Marit Stiles@MaritStiles
If fighting for Ontario auto workers wasn't important enough for Doug Ford to go to Beijing, what was? Scott Moe flew to China for Saskatchewan canola. Doug Ford stayed home while Mark Carney negotiated our auto sector's future – with no one at the table negotiating for Ontario workers. Our auto workers deserve better than an empty chair – and better than Doug Ford's jobs disaster.

@BaronDestructo Indeed!! I am partial to the everything in - breakfast burritos.
English
Outsiders assume set is the most exciting place to be on a film or t.v. production but it's actually the craft service truck before main unit call where you can make yourself one of those grilled cheese sandwiches stuffed with breakfast sausages and a dipping cup of sriracha.

@PennyHutch44274 @josettecaruso @elonmusk Yes I suppose user tolls would work now. Could be automated easily. Of course Robotaxi might be in a bit of a pickle on a toll based road usage basis. Customers wouldn't be able to afford to pay the fares because it would most certainly be passed onto the riders.
English
@josettecaruso @elonmusk I have always thought if you paid something off, you shouldn’t owe any more taxes on it that way it truly belongs to you not the government! There’s other ways you can pay taxes to keep roads,etc. And whatever we use tax money for in good shape.🇺🇸

Extremely excited to be making this film with all these incredible people! Been a long journey. Particularly proud of @ElyseHollander who sold this on pitch back in early 2018!

@ThisisKaia Still here in Canada. Just polishing a pilot script.
English
I fucking miss screenwriting twitter. No other platform has delivered and it’s been lonely out there in the void. Are any writers and filmmakers still here? Pls send up a flare tell me what you’re working on

The Bean & Cheese Cone? Yes/No
foodbeast@foodbeast
Foodbeast Just Gave The Bean & Cheese Burrito Its Boldest Transformation Yet 😳 🌯 Our resident bean & cheese whisperer @bookofelie made a comfort classic into the next great fair food. Teaming up with deep-fry legend Chicken Charlie, they created the Bean & Cheese Cone!

Prime Minister Mark Carney says his government is having "intensive discussions" with the United States to remove what he calls an "unjustified and illegal" increase on steel and aluminum tariffs. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

@GallantTro99758 @liz_churchill10 Two hundred years? Dude! Alberta has only existed since 1905. Your education seems to be as good as the average Americans.
English
@liz_churchill10 It’s not a petition to become a 51st state. It’s a petition to call for a referendum on a vote for Alberta independence.
Some want to become a 51st state some want an independent republic of Alberta. common ground is we are fed up with ottawa f’ng us over for the last 200 years
English
Crazy times.
The Province of Alberta has submitted a petition to become the 51st State of America.

@jeannevb @afaberman Mofo would probably try to invade Canada again!!
English
@afaberman Ask … what would Ben Franklin do? Pretty sure he’d be the first at the party 😎
English
@jeannevb Most of my contacts have aged out and died. Hollywood is apparently hard on livers.
English
I should probably have started by asking how many of you actually want to make an indie film? Or is your vision to just write and find a producing team? #scriptchat

@AlisaCaswell @kinsellawarren Yes indded, Calgary has the cowboy mentality - no fucking way you're merging in front of me. It's a battle to the death.
English
@kinsellawarren They are great but they drive fast. Great zipper mergers. I lived in southwestern Ontario for 6 years (not TO but I came into the city lots) then moved to Calgary.😬 Still fast but sloppy mergers.
English
Toronto drivers are the worst in the world. Discuss.
