I'm a 67 year old NLer & Cdn. Helped my dear mom care for my ailing dad for 10 yrs while getting a Masters degree. Thought I could could change the world at 25. Cries watching movies, but I weep for Canada under @JustinTrudeau who thinks my ilk can't be tolerated. #TrudeauMustGo

@JennMGreenberg Bahaha! That's always a fear of mine. I had similar situation few years ago, only I ended up in front. After multiple turns, we both were going same route. I decided to pull into a driveway and let him go by...it was HIS driveway. 🙁

I've been so privileged to have 15 years of watching the seasons change at #blastholepond with my beloved buddy, Joshua. There's no easy way to say this, but Josh crossed the rainbow bridge yesterday. He progressively lost the use of his hind legs and limbs over the last two wks.

Came off the highway a few km before I heard a LOUD pop around a turn. Some loss of control, but pulled over. Plan was to replace rear tire after riding season, but didn't do checks thoroughly enough. Hobbled home (one km), as tire didn't deform much. Guess I'm lucky. 😗👍 #Xmax

The AVERAGE price of a new vehicle in Canada is now $55,000. Add taxes and interest on a loan, and it's +$70,000. Two car family? Do the math. Let that sink in.

I'm obviously not going to be naming names, but this has bothered me the last couple of days. It's the belittling, shaming, and general debasing of the woman involved in the Atlantic Place stabbing. There are issues at play, maybe mental health issues. Bandwagons are for circuses
