Decision Alberta 2023: Proud of this broadcast. I was a small cog in a big wheel.Still, I had the best job in the house moderating a talented panel - covering ALL the topics waiting hours for final results.These nights are why we do what we do.
To those questioning why an Alberta crew is in BC to help with wildfire coverage:
Our crews in BC are exhausted and needed additional support to tell the stories of those devastated by the ongoing fires in B.C. We are here as an essential service. 1/6
It's been 40 years since David Spence broadcast his first weather forecast to Calgarians from the CTV News Calgary station and the well-known meteorologist is celebrating a major milestone on Wednesday.
One of my favourite moments each morning in Vernon. At 7:30am - the line of crews driving in. (This is just a few of them, they came in waves).
Many of the firefighters are dealing with fatigue now.
Send them some ❤️
I hit the road with a case of water and Bon Jovi playlist.... and drove north...and north some more... to Lac La Biche to meet up with the mayor and some flood evacuees from Fort McMurray.

I got this from Trans Mountain today: “We officially re-started construction on the Trans Mountain Expansion Project in August, with work underway at our Westridge and Burnaby Terminals & at pump stations in Alberta. Construction is expected to begin shortly in the Edmonton area”
Is the Trans-Mountain Pipeline twinning project under construction or not? I hear that it is from some and not from others. Why can’t we get some solid media reports on what is happening with this critical project?

Did I stay up too late watching election coverage and then get up extra early to come to work?
I put on 2 different earrings this morning… so, I would say, yes….yes I did.
Doc: Who's President of the United States in 1985?
Marty: Ronald Reagan.
Doc: Ronald Reagan?! The actor?! Ha! Then who's Vice President? Jerry Lewis?

over 25 yrs. Take a guess 1) two guys who ‘tried’ for decades to predict weather ☔️ ⛅️ ☀️ ❄️ 2) the two old guys in the balcony on the Muppets Show ?

I’m not allowed to dress up. I read the news. It would be in poor taste. Imagine if there was a shooting or house fire during our show & I had to deliver that dressed like a bunny. (That said, it hasn’t stopped many on social media from saying I’m horrible for not dressing up.)
We had to say goodbye to our girl, Marley last night. So sad, but thankful for the 13 years she was a part of our family 💔
Huge shoutout to SAVE emergency vet clinic in Okotoks for showing our family such compassion.
Hi Chris. Do you eat food? Do you cook for yourself? Or your family? Is turkey banned from menus within your cohort? I am still celebrating Thanksgiving with my immediate family/cohort...and we like to cook and eat food.
Words hurt! Thankfully, I’m armed with confidence in myself & my experience as a journalist to rise above & know my abilities. That said, my wish for everyone this weekend is to be kind to one another! Send some positive vibes to this person as they clearly need some love today.
So.... sometimes the road ahead is not smooth sailing! I'll be stepping back from 3:45 am wakeup calls for a while to take on a battle with cancer. Let this new journey begin.... 🌻

To all of those who have supported us & sent us well-wishes &"be safes", thank you. The real focus should be on the people of BC, fire crews & everyone working tirelessly to get a handle on what has been a horrible wildfire season. My heart goes out to all of those impacted❤️6/6
36 years ago today — Elizabeth Manley had her big silver medal moment at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics.
She’s now back in Calgary for the Special Olympics Canada Winter Games.
Me: can I get a photo?
Elizabeth: of course
Me: k, wait, let me make it creepy.
Happy Birthday to

Two great things happened today. I registered to become an organ donor, and the nice lady at the registry laminated my health care card. It was hanging on by a thread.
Such positive things happening for Global News Morning!

Watch NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern pick apart this reporter's question during a joint press conference with Finnish PM Sanna Marin. He asked the pair 'are you two meeting because you're similar in age and got a lot of common stuff there?'

I live on the edge! I’ve never been so happy to see a gas station. I was trying to figure out what I was going to do to get help/gas on the side of Hwy 63 on a Thursday night.
Today we hugged Chris for the last time and said goodbye as he went to give four people the gift of life by donating his kidneys, liver and lungs. We are deeply broken and deeply proud. In life and in death, Chris never stopped giving. We walk forward with his light guiding us.
