@BowersWrites Happy Anniversary! Here's to many, many more!

Happy 8th wedding anniverary (and 12th anniversary since our first date) to my wife, Annie. Thanks for loving nerdy TV shows with me. Thanks for re-enacting the U.S. Civil War with me. Thanks for moving to Canada with me. And yes, thank you for marrying me. You're my best mate.

Golden retriever nailed it..🐕🐾🚧😅

@OrbitStudios Filled mine out this morning!

Got the census! 🇨🇦💪

I bought some coconut shampoo today. I got halfway home before I thought, “I dont even have a coconut!”

That’s wildly specific

Happy Mother’s Day

Happy 71st Birthday to the talented Kermit the Frog! 🐸🎂

@NoContextBrits @Thomas_Howden That is awesome! When my oldest, now 19, was little, he would've cried about this. It would've been even worse if it was Wilson from Chuggington

Looks like Thomas has been kidnapped by Optimus Prime.

Today is World Donkey Day.

The most embarrassing moment in a penguin’s life

"On the morning of December 31, 2021, Betty White was awake by 6:30 a.m. in her longtime Brentwood home in Los Angeles. It was a quiet Friday. By 8 a.m., her housekeeper arrived, bringing in the newspaper and preparing her usual breakfast—toast, sliced cantaloupe, and a small cup of coffee. Betty kept her routines precise. Even at 99, she cherished early mornings, filling the silence with scripts or crossword puzzles while the neighborhood still slept. Her assistant, Kiersten Mikelas, came later to sort through correspondence and fan mail. The day before, Betty had reviewed a tribute video for her 100th birthday, only 17 days away. She laughed, scribbled notes, and asked about the turnout for a virtual celebration tied to “Betty White: 100 Years Young.” That morning, nothing felt unusual. She even joked with Kiersten about New Year’s Eve. “Tell the world I’m not partying this year,” she said, “but I’ll expect fireworks anyway.” By noon, she withdrew to her favorite place—the sunlit living room. It was filled with photos of Allen Ludden, her beloved pets, and decades of framed tributes. Large windows opened to the backyard where her golden retrievers once ran. She had outlived most of her friends. Though she had no children, Allen’s three kids remained close, especially her stepdaughter Sarah. That morning, she spoke with her manager, Jeff Witjas, sounding calm and reflective. “She said she felt good,” he later recalled, “and proud of her life.” Then she added softly, “I think Allen’s going to be happy to see me soon.” Her final screen work had been years earlier, lending her voice to “Forky Asks a Question.” She had also narrated a wildlife documentary in 2020. Though she slowed during the pandemic, her mind stayed sharp. She still wrote to fans by hand, always with humor. By 12:30 p.m., Betty rested in her recliner. When her housekeeper checked in around 1 p.m., she appeared asleep. But by 1:30, something had changed. Betty had passed peacefully, the television tuned to “Jeopardy!” and a crossword folded neatly beside her. Paramedics confirmed it later that afternoon. The cause—a stroke she had experienced days earlier, kept private. She had declined hospitalization, choosing instead the comfort of home. Days before, she recorded a message for her birthday tribute. Looking into the camera, she smiled. “I’ve loved every single minute you’ve given me. Keep smiling, and keep being kind.” She had lived for decades in that same house, never wanting to leave the memories behind. Animals still filled her world—rescues, birds, even raccoons she quietly named. Years later, those closest to her remember the same thing: her curiosity, her warmth, her lightness. And in the end, there were no crowds—only sunlight through the windows, a quiet breeze from the garden, and a life that gently came to rest exactly where it had always belonged. "

@sarobertsonca @MeidasTouch Congratulations and well done! That is bloody incredible!

Some personal news: I'm joining @MeidasTouch as their new International Digital Editor -- bringing another Canadian perspective (alongside Charlie Angus) to one of the biggest independent media networks in North America. More soon.

@CraigBaird @hunterhockey You're a historian, one of our nations best! Actually showed your Canada History Ex YouTube video about Igor Gouzenko in my Grade 10 History class today!

To the guy who contacted me today to tell me I'm not a historian. I don't know, maybe I am, maybe I'm not. What I do know is that I am a guy who has a passion for Canadian history and spends each day working to share our nation's history with as many people as I can.

When news of the end of the War in Europe reached Canada on May 7, 1945, people began to celebrate. No place celebrated harder than Halifax. By the next day, 650 businesses were damaged/looted. This is the story of the Halifax Riot 📸 Halifax Municipal Archives 🧵 1/12

In 1978, a Dawson City construction crew made an incredible discovery. While excavating the site of a swimming pool, they found 533 reels of silent films and newsreels from 1908 to 1929. Many were thought lost for years. This is the story. 📸 Kathy Jones-Gates 🧵 1/8
