Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.

Jane Goodall reaches out and touches a small monkey.

So sad that I expect nothing less from the CPC. A good retort would be « Just another CPC Leader who lost an election! » How many in a row is that?! 4 in a row? Hopefully 5 is not their magic number! 😅

I had the honour to serve in Parliament with Ken Dryden.
He loved this country.
He was a brilliant writer and one of the great hockey legends.
Thank you for your service Ken.
Canada is a better place because of you.
You are with the angels.

Ken was a smart kind man. I loved seeing him at book events and he was always very generous with his time and loved to chat. He will be missed.

Which one should I munch on, the blue or red snack? 😋

A Southern Right Whale, estimated to be around 18 meters long and weighing 80 tons, caught on camera. Stunning.

These whales are relatively harmless and they are known to interact with humans.

Amazing creatures.

University District in NW Calgary was buzzing on Wed night (especially in front of the ice cream store!) so a great spot to pick up some signatures on our first night out for #forevercanadian @lukaszukab.bsky.social.
So much more to do & so many eager to sign!

It’s all about staying in power! Time to get rid of Danielle!

Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @lukaszukab.bsky.social · Jun 29

Danielle Smith‬⁩ weaponized separatism to stay in power.

To keep UCP separatist fringes satisfied, she’s jeopardizing Canada’s unity and economic stability.

Soon, #ForeverCanadian will take this weapon away from Danielle Smith.

Do you remember the first time you heard an amazing song? Check out my flash fiction story “Oh Baby, Try.” It’s all about Blue Rodeo’s 1987 song “Try.” Music can magically transport us back in time. @bluerodeo.bsky.social

@ianhanomansing.bsky.social I just heard your guest recommend Waterton parks for a fellow travelling with his dog. FYI we had to cancel our trip to Waterton as we could not find any hotels or accommodations that would take dogs, sadly.
