There are some coincidences that take your breath away. One of my favourite new @arkellsmusic songs turns out to be inspired by our Trev and Kaisha. Thanks for letting us know you’re ok out there Trev, and for the @arkellsmusic kicking us right in the feels.
The song is out now. When I thought of posting this yesterday, I couldn’t recall the article that inspired the idea. But I found the original voice note/time stamp. Did some googling and remembered it was this. RIP Trevor. Your memory is a blessing❤️ theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

Taking a break from my Twitter hiatus to say a huge thank you to @Carolyn_Bennett. She was a constant presence in my time in politics & she’ll be deeply missed. She knew politics was about people, and my goodness she cared about her people. I was lucky to be in her orbit of care
After 26 years as a Liberal MP for Toronto’s St. Paul’s riding, Carolyn Bennett has decided not to run again. Here’s why Justin Trudeau always had time for this veteran Liberal MP. #Opinion by @SusanDelacourt trib.al/0WtvClj

Message of the year: How do you spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel. The kindest person in the room is often the smartest. 🏆 @GovPritzker

Cross-lingual reasoning on custom data is just one of the ways LLMs can humanize our experiences with technology. Inspired by all the creative ways developers are already putting this into action: arxiv.org/pdf/2305.05576v1.p…

The rate of diffusion of this next generation of AI is unlike anything we've seen, but even more remarkable is the sense of empowerment it has already unlocked in every corner of the world, including rural India.

I’m on the road for work this week, but I’m going to be demanding videos from @perrytsergas telling our Kit that @Astro_Jeremy is on Artemis II. He’s an inspiration to our boy & I know he’s going to be an inspiration to so many Canadian kids.

My excitement is pretty much over the top for @Astro_Jeremy. He is one of the kindest, most thoughtful humans out there. An incredible role model who is going to be the most amazing representation for Canada. Happy tears here for our friend.

Super proud of my awesome little sister. Canadians - and our beautiful nature - were well served by her tenacious push to protect the planet. @Oceans_North is lucky to have her! 💕

.@Richard_Schiff the kindness you just showed me and my family is unmatched. You just made my mother cry on my birthday — that’s my job, man! Politics may not be West Wing, but so many times you gave us something to shoot for. @perrytsergas knows me too well, always ❤️

It’s so easy to be overwhelmed these days by the choices and the fights. But my god, give all our babies a chance at at the full, crowded table life so many of us have enjoyed. Get your #flushot #forjudeforeveryone
It takes up to two weeks to develop immunity from your #FluShot. If you get yours this weekend you can develop immunity by Dec4. You can protect yourself and others in your community with simple steps like vaccination, wearing a mask, and staying home sick. #ForJudeForEveryone

To my father’s chagrin, and my mother’s pride, I am not a Leaf’s fan but how any can watch this and not be both broken by it and proud to be a hockey nation, I do not know.
The @MapleLeafs had a very special ceremony to honor Börje Salming tonight. ❤️ The Swedish legend who still stands as the highest scoring defenseman in Leafs history is currently going through a battle with ALS, but 'came home' to Toronto for the weekend.

+1 to all this. Dropping off our overtired, over-sugared, weepy-Halloween-was-over Kinder off this morning, it was one of the incredible ECEs who held his hand and made us both feel better. They are rockstars and they deserve better ✊
Replying to @sarahboesveld
Please this week, when you do pickup or drop off or if you have their email, thank the education workers in your child’s life for all they do which often goes unseen. It’s undoubtedly a tense time for them so if you can tell them you support them, I’m sure it will mean a lot. ✊

It’s so great to be travelling for work again & seeing colleagues BUT man I forgot how much you miss your babies. There is nothing more universal & comforting than the Moms in the airport who see the ubiquitous black & yellow pump bag & just give you the “been there” nod
