Some news.
Found out this week I have Type 1 Diabetes.
Shout out to my wonderful nurse, Angela, for helping me out and my friend
@Quinnohler
for advice.
I have a lot to learn, but I think I'm getting into the game at the right time.
Holding a news conference during the supper hour news, but not taking questions until 10 am the next day feels more like politics than public health information.
As
@CMOH_Alberta
said, we ask that media please avoid targeting schools, which can create additional stress on students & staff who are trying to continue on with their daily lives.
Balanced coverage is important, but on-site interviews can add significant anxiety.

AHS and RCMP have shut down the Whistle Stop Cafe in Mirror, AB this morning.
If you forgot, this cafe openly defied health rules for restaurants in the past.
It appears a message has been sent ahead of patio closures Monday.
Bianca Andreescu
A 19 year old from Canada.
Staring down the greatest tennis player ever.
In the US Open final.
And wiping the floor with her.
Chase your dreams.
This morning. 7:40 am. -27.
Drove past a woman shovelling her driveway. At the same time a coyote trotted by on the sidewalk.
She didn’t even break pace.
Baller.

He’s a

legend.
42 years with one shop.
Today he shot his last pkg.
He had to do it with me.
This is him saying “don’t take my picture.”
Sticks is the best.
6 weeks ago my brother thought a concert in

using hotel balconies for safe seats would be cool.
Yesterday he and his crew
@KrugoApp
hoisted a stage onto a parkade roof to make 4 concerts happen.
Damn, that is cool.
We’re deeply curious to see just how much hair

One time I did a story about slippery streets in spring. I wrote “beware the slides of March”
The last 5 years of my career have been dedicated to topping that line.

one hell of a place to live, I know a lot of you are thinking about how to support local biz and stay safe.
I thought I’d share some of my fave spots for food and other things. Add your own, I’d love to see them.
It’s that fun time of year where kids wear ski jackets to school in the morning and then drag them on the ground all the way home. Missing a mitten, guaranteed.

There is a wonderful woman out there who enjoyed a pint at Sherlock’s tonight who paid for my parking when my card didn’t work on way to

This is Dale. On Friday he ran into a stranger’s home and pulled him from flames and smoke then disappeared when firefighters arrived. Why?
He had to work.
“I didn’t want to be late,” he said.
Dale insists he’s not a hero.

This story reached a lot of people and I think many enjoyed being part of their romance.
Dan died in his sleep this weekend at 106. The family says Bertha is taking it in stride. She turns 100 on Saturday. It's a pleasure to have been able to meet them both.
So far
@FlyEIA
on first day of spring break I’ve seen:
A stern, silent parent argument over a kid’s head
A frantic run
Chugging coffee at security line
A rogue attempt through Nexus line
I’d say we are one forgotten passport away from airport Bingo
