Live, laugh, love! Views are my own. I tweet about sports — CFL football/ REDBLACKS, hockey/SENS, cats, baking and Canadian weather. I love pumpkin all year.
Dear
@REDBLACKS
I am devastated that this
@CFL
season is cancelled. That said, I've already paid my for my season ticket and I'd like to donate that money to an employee who may be losing a job or is taking a pay cut.
If other fans can afford it, please do so.

Dear Mayor Watson,
We already knew. And we loved you then, we will love you even more.
Bravo on your courage.
Love,
Ottawa residents ♥️🌈
Dear fair-weather
@REDBLACKS
fans,
Our team has been to 3 of the last 4 Grey Cups and has won one 3 years ago. We are lucky to have a team again!
Imagine being a Bombers or Alouettes fan.
Our team is allowed to have a bad year.That shouldn't result in you abandoning the team. 😡
I did a thing today. I paid off my mortgage with $$ I inherited when my mom passed away in 2022. It’s bittersweet.
I promised her I would pay off my house with that money. My mortgage was coming due and I was def not getting the 1.8% on the current mortgage.
Merci, mom ♥️
On our way to Barbados and we ran into

interim coach Jacques Martin at
@FlyYOW
!! Luckily we were wearing some
#Sens
gear. 😉
He was lovely to chat with us a bit.
#GoSensGo
I’m a-ok being single most of the time, but this year’s holidays are a bit more challenging given the limited interactions allowed.
I will still try to stay my positive self and live my childish adoration of Christmas! ♥️💚
Hey Toronto Sports fans - you know a great way to get over losing Kawhi?? Start supporting your

Dear
@RandyAmbrosie
Please don’t cancel the season yet. Think about games without fans and televising them as pay per view (like fights). There are a lot of
#CFL
fans out there. I would pay to watch all the games - not just my
@REDBLACKS
Give us something to look forward to. 🙏🏻
I don’t want any “fans” to @ me …but I am thrilled to have
@cfl
football in Ottawa.
It may not always be the personnel or results we want, but I’m lucky to be able to watch live
#CFL
football in my town!
Go
@REDBLACKS
!!

Who am I kidding - of course I fangirl’ed meeting some
@Senators
(old lady style lol)
Lovely to meet Josh, Drake, Jake, Tim, Thomas and Captain Brady. They all are very nice young men and I wish them all a great season !!
#GoSensGo
Hey
@cfl
Family!
Tomorrow, one of us is going for a serious surgery and I’d love if you joined me in keeping her in your prayers and wishing her a speedy recovery. 🙏🏻♥️
I’m a die-hard
@Senators
fan. I grew up a
@CanadiensMTL
fan so my hatred of the
@MapleLeafs
is VERY deep.
That said, I was so confidant that my
#Sens
would do better than the
#MapleLaffs
that I made a bet with one of my employees … I lost that bet.
Today, I’m suffering 😝
I am super excited, honoured & humbled to become Transport Canada’s next Director General of Communications in December when my illustrious boss & mentor retires. But don’t expect to see a lot of work tweets. There are too many cat pics & football & hockey comments to share 🤣
Pausing
#GreyCupFitUp
for a few days. My mom passed away today after a short illness with pancreatic cancer that had spread (she prob had it for a long time - but only recently discovered it).😢
I know how important it is to keep well when going through grief. Back at it soon 💪🏻
It’s no secret I would love to work in football when I retire. So I’ve rewritten this post 10 times - but I can’t ignore my values.
No matter the talent, excusing this kind of behaviour is unacceptable and there shouldn’t be a second chance here.
I’m really disappointed. 😕
Regardless of whether you agree/disagree with one's politics, it's super low class to comment on someone's marital/family issues.
As someone who is going through a painful breakup - having it commented on is no one's business.
Hey
@CFL
peeps! If you’re like me, some can wear what you want to your home office or workplace. Tomorrow, I want you all to wear your fave

jersey-post pics & tag player/team. It’s a great way to start the week. Let’s get the

My dad got tainted blood in a surgery in the 1980s and died of AIDS-related pneumonia in 1995. My mom was HIV-positive for 40 years but died of cancer.
Got my AIDS ribbon tattoo on my dad’s bday in 1995.
I honour them and all those living with HIV-AIDS.
On the year anniversary of working from home, a ♥️ tonight on our downtown Ottawa building to show Transport Canada employees that we miss you.
Thanks to my colleagues and team for making this happen.

The holidays after you lose a parent are tough. Today, is my birthday and my mom would have called at 9:30am (apparently when I was born) to sing me Happy Birthday.
She did give me a bday card 3 weeks ago - I think she knew she wouldn’t be around. 😔
I have come a long way in my weight loss journey. I still have a ways to go but I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished.
But I look in the mirror sometimes and still see that fat girl. Getting fit was great for me physically…my mental game needs to catch up.Body dysmorphia is real
Had a big scare late last night when a blot clot decided to bleed out of my surgical incisions.
BIG thanks to the amazing
@OttawaParamedic
team of Sara & Liz (my first ambulance ride!) and the wonderful nurse and dr at the
@QCHOttawa
who all took great care of me! Home now 😊
My dad got tainted blood in a surgery and he passed away 25 years ago. My mom who is HIV-positive is healthy today thanks to the advances in medicine.
I honour them and those affected by HIV every day. I got my tattoo on my dad’s birthday,a month after he died ♥️

I haven’t posted much of my own thoughts about Chad Kelly because words escape me (& I write for a living).
I am gobsmacked at the facts:
- he was found to have harassed an
@TorontoArgos
employee (who was fired!)
- he has a (I believe) light suspension yet can still practice

A little mid-day brag — hiked to the top of Tunnel Mountain Trail in Banff this morning! 2 kms straight up!!!!! So proud of myself for this (I will be sore later 🤣)
30 years ago today, I started my career in the federal public service (!)
While I rarely tweet about my job, I will say I have been blessed to have many interesting opportunities, working in diff departments, 🇨🇦 regions, working with incredible leaders, colleagues and staff. ♥️
I will block anyone who says COVID-19 is "just a cold".
I have had 4 vaccinations, am in the best physical health of my life, and this second bout with the virus is way worse than my March version. The cough is brutal and the duration has been longer ...
For all you
@REDBLACKS
fans feeling bad right now ... what you’re feeling is nothing close to what the players will be feeling. No one goes to work and wants to suck. They have pride. They’re competitors. This game was terrible but it will be a turning point in this young season

Sigh.
Take care Ottawa-Gatineau props. Stay safe. 🙏🏻

Already looking forward to next June and the

It will be a long few months.
IS IT JUNE YET? 🥰
Test flight? Done ✅
Reindeer health test? Passed ✅

Happy Holidays!
What an incredible ending to this

game!! I couldn’t breathe. But boy, am glad I flew from Ottawa to see this!!!! This Defense is amazing.

My passion for my
@REDBLACKS
runs really deep. I’m incredibly sad.
Home from my surgery. Big shout out to the Winchester Hospital nurses (and surgeons) who took such good care of me. It will be 6 weeks til I can exercise again but I’ll be better than ever. I just wish they made stronger pain meds. 😉
What the actual F !!! Morgan Reilly!!!
I have rarely seen something so blatantly disgusting!

Also - I have NEVER used this kind of language on social media.
I am furious.

I unconditionally support the

Personal news: Had another surgery today as part of my health / fitness journey. The surgery couldn’t have gone better and I’m on the road to recovery. Hope to be back working out, enjoying winter activities / Covid life in a few weeks.
Will have lots of time for Twitter 🤣
So sad to hear of Joe Flaherty's passing.
There really has been no parallel to the funny that came out of SCTV. Condolences to his family, friends and fans. 🙏
Say hi to John Candy for us.

who helped this damsel in distress by changing a flat tire today. It has reaffirmed my faith that there are still HEROES among us in Ottawa. ♥️
I’m going to say it - I try to be a positive fan. But there should be some
@REDBLACKS
changes this week. The coaching is awful. Our season is done.
If
@REDBLACKSBurkey
cares at all about this year and the fan base (and for them to come back next year) … he needs to prove it
