Fun facts: When Ron Charles burst onto the Montreal news scene in 1987ish: -Céline Dion was a teen singer famous only in Quebec -you could buy a renovated duplex in Lower NDG for $130K -the city was served by five (!) daily papers. Happy Next Era, @CBCRon ! #cdnmedia

James Murray loved @CBC & the news business His eyes would light up talking shop but he had a deep interest in many topics & all people We chatted in the newsroom, on the lockout line; on various stories And shared the horror of an infamous murder trial Rest easy James 😢🌹

Haven't made any more masks because my sisters sent me these and one of them has no sewing machine and does it all by hand and I feel loved Wearing a mask also shows we care for others and that's the message that has to get out #Covid19

The thing about an interest rate of 0% is you can't cut any more without a bunch of new problems. So, no more ammo there. Which is why the Fed's also firing off some QE-Quantitative Easing. Buying/holding bonds to boost confidence and drop long-term rates also #coronavirus

In any emergency, it is so striking how first responders seem larger than life-rescuing and protecting us at our most vulnerable moments. They may look and act tough, but we need to take better care of THEM. #SickNotWeak #Mentalhealth

If not for weddings, we'd spend every summer weekend in shorts and flip-flops and maybe not wash our faces. Also, never buying any frock without pockets again. #Poches #Posh

Being swept up by the sheer beauty and artistry of #Pachinko Stunned it was largely shunned by @TheEmmys and totally ignored by the #goldenglobes     which just erodes the credibility of those awards machines but takes nothing away from this breathtaking story and storytelling
