Jean Charest will declare his candidacy for the Conservative Leadership in Calgary on Thursday. #cdnpoli
Never before seen footage of survivors of the Empress of Ireland wreck! We’ll hear about it on Quebec AM @CBCQuebec at 8:10 zoom-out.ca/view/dans-lil-du…

Feels like we've lacked for stories like this, about jurisdictional neighbourliness and enlightened self-interest.
Manitoba and North Dakota have struck a deal to have Manitoban truckers vaccinated when they cross the border to ND. Pallister says 4K truckers will be fully vaccinated within 8 weeks. The vaccines are provided by the Americans, free of charge #cdnpoli

I gotta say, this is an awkward way to enter Canadian 🇨🇦 politics. Former CTV and CBC broadcaster Frank Cavallaro announced he’s running for the Conservatives in the next federal election on my show - from Florida 🇺🇸. #cdnpoli iheartradio.ca/cjad/audio/a-…

Many weeks of lockdown... @BBCWorld has people dancing to their theme so we’re starting @CBCWorldReport dances! #parkdale #Toronto #cbcdance
Canada’s speed skaters cleaned up over the weekend in the Netherlands... despite having to train outdoors!! @anastasure joins me on Quebec Am tomorrow @ 6:40 to talk about how @TeamCanada did it and the upcoming competition!
Sneak peak into how @SSC_PVC @TeamCanada has been training prior to these @ISU_Speed World Cups. Unbelievable results with this type of prep. Video from @b0undless @CBCOlympics

The Qc Gov will hold a public inquiry into the death of Joyce Echaquan #polqc #JUSTICEFORJOYCE
À la suite du décès tragique de Mme Joyce Echaquan, qui a secoué tout le Québec, j'ai demandé à @CoronerQuebec d'ordonner la tenue d'une enquête publique afin d'en éclaircir les causes et les circonstances. Nous devons tout faire pour éviter que de tels drames se reproduisent.

72 hrs ago was Wed morn. Pres Trump spoke to reporters Wednesday afternoon (remember, trying to clean up his Proud Boys comments) then went to a rally in Minnesota, then Thursday was at private events in NJ. If Conley's timeline is correct, all of that happened post-diagnosis.

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

Wow
Currently: Thousands gather for #JusticeforRegis (the #Toronto woman who died after falling from a balcony earlier this week during an interaction with police) chanting #BlackLivesMatter
Yes, they do.
Global pandemic. UFO’s. Giant Murder Hornets. Now snow in May. #HungerGames #springter #COVIDー19 #SelfIsolation

Last one, I promise. He’s excellent and his gesticulation serves an educational purpose - and a meme one.
Does anyone else feel like all shows/films are weirdly retro, like in a pre-pandemic era kind of way that didn’t exist a few weeks ago?! #COVID2019 #cavabienaller
