I’m baffled that people who hear of others working remotely/hybrid assume they don’t work when at home. Is that a reflection of your work ethic? We’re adults and professionals. The same people who did nothing in the office do nothing at home. The space doesn’t change that fact.
The President has been clear that this entire administration will move heaven and earth to support Baltimore. I pledged the same in person to Gov. Moore as we continue with recovery efforts and move to rebuild.
We need more Pete Buttigiegs in politics 👇 Smart. Measured. Professional. Even when he’s being attacked. Rolls up his sleeves, forgets about partisan politics, does the work. 👏 When I think of the ideal politician it’s

Should be President!
Wow. Pete Buttigieg just responded to Mike Johnson saying his same-sex marriage is the “dark harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy” that will destroy the country.
Watching John Walsh on CNN talking about the need for better training for police for domestic assault cases and sending mental health workers with police to domestic disturbance cases. 👏 This is about Gabby Petito but applies universally.
Is it just me or does it seem covid is now rampant? Nearly everyone I talked to this week had covid or one of their kids had it. I managed to escape it thus far but I’m starting to feel getting it is inevitable.

Regardless of your views on the report, Moya Greene and her team volunteered to do this. It would have costed us millions. It’s a great conversation starter for the future of the province. There is value in it. Thank you!

After Mom nagged me enough I called 811 given the chest pressure I’m having since I had the Pfizer shot. They strongly suggested I come into Emerg. The place is blocked. People have been here for 8-10 hours. There has to be a better way.

Today is a big day for the Guest fam… 9 pounds 12 oz’s big. My brother and Janet had their baby this morning! Can’t wait to finally meet my niece: Lily Jean Marie Guest. ☺️
It’s never a bad idea to take off early on a Friday, when able! This week a guy I went to school with took his own life. The second in recent months. Look after yourselves.
All this talk of Come Home Year and no rentals, what do we need to do to get Uber going? Let’s find solutions rather than throwing our hands up in the air. We spend millions in marketing to get people here and then get lazy about the product offering.

Buttigieg is one of the best communicators in US politics. They need him out on the media circuit everyday between now and the next election. Here’s to hoping he becomes President Buttigieg in the future.

yesterday and couldn’t understand why Water Street was reopened to cars/the pedestrian mall closed. Beautiful day. Two cruise ships in. Folks lining the sidewalks competing with traffic. September is one of our best months. Please review!
Congrats 🎉 to my Mom who retires today after 30 years with the Provincial Government. I don’t know anyone with a stronger work ethic and sense of integrity. Looking forward to much more time in the sun when this pandemic ends. No more “year-ends” to contend with! Love you!
John Crosbie is famously quoted as saying, “You can tell the Newfoundlanders in heaven, because they’re the ones who want to go home.” Can’t help but think of that quote today with the passing of George Murphy. Thoughts are with his family and friends.

I’m embarrassed that this is happening in our country. We are better than this. Criticize policy all you want (that’s democracy) but the personal attacks and intimidation are uncalled for. If this is how you act, you’ve lost the argument.

WATCH: An event for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was cut short in Belleville, Ont., today after nearly 100 protesters surrounded him and his motorcade.

1/2 When I worked in Premier’s Office, late one Friday evening George Murphy called up as his kids wanted to come up and meet Premier Marshall. George said whenever his kids saw Premier Marshall on tv they would say he was wearing “Daddy’s jacket” - a black suit jacket.

To quote JC, “you know the Newfoundlanders in heaven, they’re the ones who want to go home.”
I really don’t think anyone, no matter the individual or party, should be handed the keys of Premiers Office without facing the electorate. You should have to win a district first or immediately go to a general election.

He’s a joke. He’s propped up Trump and all of a sudden he’s seen the light? He’s trying to save face now. No backbone whatsoever.
Maybe I shouldn’t be but I’m surprised at the harshness directed at Greene Report. Its just ideas and recommendations at this point. The politicians will decide via budget process what is implemented. Let’s have the conversations. I’m glad it’s all on the table.

Thank you for the kind words and thoughts last night. I’m grateful for the care and concern. I strongly encourage everyone to get the vaccine despite my strong reaction to it. I also thank the doctors/nurses who are doing the best they can dealing with a bad situation.
#nlpoli
Fair wages and remote/hybrid work which has been ongoing for three years is not unreasonable. There’s money for everything else, why not workers?
#PSACStrike2023
Actions speak louder than words.
A long day at the hospital for a family emergency. Unsure of the outcome at this time. While our healthcare system isn’t perfect, I am beyond thankful for the attention, care and support my family is receiving from the doctors and nurses. Incredibly talented people. Thank you.
Why are we paying doctors more for virtual visits than in-person? Strikes me as odd. And as for 811, my experience has been “probably should head to the ER.” And I leave the ER 8-10 hours later with higher blood pressure than when I went in because I’m beyond frustrated.

Folks, let’s try to keep it classy with respect to Mr. Chaulk. Question his decisions all you want, fair game, but be respectful and not make this personal. Remember, its always easier to be an armchair quarterback.

Thanks to Dr. Fitzgerald and her team for the steadfast leadership throughout the

As health officials in Newfoundland and Labrador prepare to lift all public health restrictions on Monday, Dr. Janice Fitzgerald was emotional as she thanked the people of the province and those working behind the scenes.

2/2 George and the kids came up and we had cookies/juice. Both kids jumped into Premier Marshall’s arms (at the same time). We laughed and chatted. It’s a memory I haven’t forgotten.

There is a line and that totally crosses it. It’s disgusting. I’m baffled how someone who’s out to “try to make a better world” can be so heartless. Not acceptable.
Hi folks, tonight’s nomination result wasn’t what I hoped for. But I believe everything happens for a reason. Big thanks to family, friends, and neighbours for your incredible support—I feel like a winner because of you. Congrats Jesse Wilkins on the PC Nomination. Best of luck!
We need to strengthen the Animal Health and Protection Act. There’s no reason to have dogs chained to houses, left outside in this day and age. Twenty years ago many people did but when you know better, you do better.

Invest to rid communities of their boil water advisories, put water drinking fountains in high traffic areas, support nutritional programs in all schools and lower the cost of healthy food/drink. A sugar tax is lazy policy - could add $2 still be cheaper than milk/juice.

Facts matter. I’m always amazed that a cute, little dog can stir such negativity in people. It says so much more about them than the dog. Stella brings a lot of smiles and honestly if she only does that, that’s enough. We need more reasons to smile! Keep up the good work! 🐾

I think this makes sense as long as those healthy food options are 1) available and 2) affordable. I’ve been there eating the stale donuts/chips from vending machines because there were no other options. Never my first choice but you’ll take what you can get after 11 hrs in ER!
