Thanks! I've been enjoying a renewed relationship with fountain pens for about three years now. Thus far, have managed to stay solidly in the Lamy lane. (But that's partly because I've dligently avoided exploring other options!)
At least tell us what it is?
And Blue Rodeo, "Five Days in July"
Fleetwood Mac, "Rumours"
You might even say economic inequity reflects policy Failure by Design.
There are a handful of former elected officials whose public contributions following their time in elected office far outpace their electoral achievements. I include Stephen Lewis on this list, for sure. Also, Bob Rae, Joe Clark, and Jimmy Carter.
Who's going to break it to him?

As a teenager, I took a photograph at Ontario Place (#RIP) that my cousin who studied photography at Concordia described as “very Christopher Pratt”. I took that as a compliment!
Well played.
Apparently 1941 marked the "first days" of WWII. This will come as news to those whose nations and relatives began fighting from the beginning, in 1939. 🍁

Where's the AUMF for war against Iran?

They could at least have said "from eh to zed"!
I accidentally clicked on a @washingtonpost.com link in a respected colleague's LinkedIn post. Despite its rapid decline, there's still consistently great content in the newspaper, but I have been totally boycotting since Bezos killed the editorial team's endorsement of Kamala Harris.
Thanks for this important work, Ash.
I'm just sad that Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky isn't around to memorialize the events in a new composition.
Even though we already have Ektachrome, this still seems like exciting news! It's like it came back twice!
Looks like a great playlist (though one (?) hit wonders, Milli Vanilli might have hurt feelings 😉)!

Not all heroes wear capes! Some come armed with 42 pound stones.
Yes, the words were in Spanish, but there was a complex story being told that did not require words to understand, and that story was told in three intertwined universal languages: love, music, and dance.
Ernie Coombs as Mr. Dressup, with puppets Casey and Finnegan and two others. From long-running CBC children's show, "Mr. Dressup", which ran from 1967-1996.
Terry, I was at a training in Los Angeles many years ago, and went to dinner with a group of folks from the training, one of whom was a woman from Eastern Michigan. We bonded over CBC tv shows for kids, including Mr. Dressup & The Friendly Giant. It was actually pretty cool!
I'm pretty sure that Canada Goose is looking south.

More of this please. #Bonhomme
I'm grateful for those stalwart souls like @susancampbell.bsky.social, who watched, so I wouldn't have to. #Davos
P.S. After yesterday's enthusiastic response, hard to imagine that Mark Carney could look any better, yet here we are.
Take care of yourself! (Maybe check your right ear, just to be safe?)
I'm in awe of my Mum, who is a few weeks shy of her 85th birthday. She just spent a few hours shovelling snow, including clearing the driveway of a neighbour who is waiting for heart valve replacement surgery! #Shero
