Happy International Women's Day! Grateful for all those who support, advocate for, and respect women. Especially grateful for the women who came before me, who blazed trails and on whose shoulders we stand.

Such a worthy recipient of The Nobel Peace Award. Humble, thoughtful and action oriented. A glimpse of light in a too often dark world. Bravo! facebook.com/share/v/16rggP…

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

This is how a leader is born. AOC had the difficult job of condemning the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk while giving what I believe history will record as a leadership coming of age moment.
The balance of the speech was superlative as she struck the perfect balance between condemnation of political violence, while remaining firm in defense of those not prepared to stand by while Republicans attempt to beatify a man of flawed character and twisted ideology.
AOC has proved today SHE IS READY and I am so very proud of what she has achieved in politics thus far. I believe it’s time for change and that she is that change. There I’ve said it.

Every American needs to Watch what Obama just said about the Kirk assassination.

@regieroutman It’s my pleasure to compliment your work. You are an inspiration for so many educators, me included. It was my privilege to have had the opportunity to work collaboratively with you. Also wishing you the best in all ways.

@juneabb15 Thanks @juneabb15 for your kind words. Great to see your name with my post. I have such fond memories of our past collaboration and hope you are well in all ways.

@Beanie0597 Sounds like the school system I experienced. I watched many of my classmates lose hope and eventually drop out. I hoped some evolution would have occurred over the past 50 plus years. But I guess the comfort of status quo where the privilege succeed is all that matters.

@TedBlades @bellsbtch @CBC All the more reason to stay your course in representing thoughtful and intelligent insights.

@bellsbtch @CBC I don't know what percentage of the population they make up, but they're certainly vehement!

I posted a comment Tuesday about how when we're in an emergency - like the current wave of wildfires in NL - CBC Radio is a valuable resource. Well, the @CBC haters came out in droves! I've never gotten so many angry comments. And I notice 3 things about the commenters... 1/3

I turned 60 yesterday So I threw myself a birthday supper with many of my favourite people. We toasted our friend who passed in November at 46. Celebrate every single day. I’m so grateful for each day. Thankful for my amazing husband who spent 2 days helping me prepare. Loves him

“In a sea of information chaos, democracy is in danger of drowning.” There’s no need for media repression or censorship if truth has been “robbed” of its power, says journalist, writer and broadcaster, @StephenSackur. #TimesRadio

Brilliant! Thank you Paul Hunter and Mike Meyers. “Canadians want a government that empowers the least empowered, enfranchises the least enfranchised, and encourages people with no capital to see that they themselves are capital.” Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦

@Katie___Simpson She’s an empty soul. More to be pitied. Perhaps we can put some trust in our PM as he navigates Trump’s irrational landscape.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Canada’s decision to drop the DST:
“It's very simple. Prime Minister Carney and Canada caved to President Trump and the United States of America. And President Trump knows how to negotiate,”.

EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN SHOULD WATCH THIS CLIP. I know Scot Galloway is not everyone’s cup of tea as we say in the UK, but I for one have a lot of respect for his honestly and willingness to speak truth to power. He absolutely nails EXACTLY what’s wrong with America in this moment. I absolutely salute you Scott. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNdSdBDQd/

@justbegemma Sadly, there are people who lack empathy, lack understanding the importance of acknowledging wrong doing, lack the desire to promote policy for equity, who are selfish, unrelentingly in their pursuit of power. Little self awareness, hence not open to learning for positive change.

It astounds me (though I suppose it shouldn’t at this point) just how out of touch with reality the premier of Alberta is…

“A letter from the Premier of Alberta to several chiefs is being shared on social media that appears to show Danielle Smith appealing to the leaders for support of Alberta sovereignty.” Reading the room is hard. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli aptnnews.ca/national-news/…
