My daughter said she’s thinking she’d like to play hockey. I asked her what she likes about it: -Matching tracksuits -Driving to games together -Staying in hotels -Swimming in hotel pools -Pizza Literally nothing about skating, sticks or pucks.

What she wanted everybody to know: all about sex. What she didn’t want anyone to know: that she quietly gave her own cottage to an AIDS organization, so people could be surrounded by nature and peace in their final days. Sue was the realest. Funny and frank. ❤️

Apparently Trailer Park Boys first aired 20 years ago today. If there’s any takeaway here it’s that you might as well roll the dice on your biggest dumbest most awesome idea because you just never know.

Ever since I first met Elliot Page as a confident, questioning, almost intimidatingly intelligent 10 year-old working together on a show called Pit Pony (and later on Trailer Park Boys) I’ve never doubted for a second that he would change the world in some way. Love + respect.

Remember when “worst case Ontario” was just a joke on Trailer Park Boys? Doug Ford is worst-case Ontario. And it’s not funny.

As school returns, let's remind our kids to seek out the vulnerable ones sitting alone and befriend them. Kindness is a great default.

I met a man recently who learned English by recording Trailer Park Boys on VHS and bringing the tapes to school where he and his teacher would watch the episodes over and over again. How cool is that? But also… what a unique dialect.

Tough week for Canadian broadcasters, producers and crew. Here’s the thing: no one eats Mini Wheats because it’s a Kellogg’s cereal. They eat it cuz they like it. Such is the relationship between tv networks and creators. Viewers aren’t loyal to a network they’re loyal to people.

People don’t eat Froot Loops because they’re loyal to Kellogg’s. They eat them because they like them. Same is true of tv networks and news anchors. People watch who they like, not because of the network they’re on. And - it turns out - a whole lot of people like @LisaLaFlamme_

Portapique is a beautiful little community on the Bay of Fundy. The people there are community-minded and kind. Let's channel love and support their way. Let them know that they matter more than the morbid details.

I met a man on the sidewalk in Chester NS the other day who was carrying a cooler. I asked if he had mackerel in it. “No”, he replied “it’s my knitting!” Every day on the 40 min ferry from Tancook Island, Norm knits toques for people with no homes. He’s made 100’s. What a beauty.

John Dunsworth used to run a casting agency & would often bring me in for characters that I thought I couldn’t play. Crazy scientists, professors. Didn’t matter. HE believed I could. If you get the chance to be a mentor do it. Show someone you believe in them. It means so much.

If I was still writing on the show here’s how Trailer Park Boys would resolve: Cory and Trevor are undercover cops and were mounting a case against them for the last 20 years. They have enough evidence to put them away for a long time.

A friend was shooting a movie in a suburb of Montreal. Most of the action took place on the front lawn and in the driveway. A cranky neighbour across the street painted his front door a different colour every morning just to mess with their continuity. That’s commitment!

Good chance this has been the weirdest week of your life. Maybe you snacked more than you usually do, or drank more, went to the gym less. Don’t worry. You’ll find a routine in this new normal. Cut yourself a little slack will ya?

My kid’s grade 4 class partnered up with a long-term care facility to become penpals. My daughter’s penpal misspelled her name. So in her response, my daughter signed off her letter misspelling her own name. Just to not hurt her penpal’s feelings. Ouch my creaky old heart.
