What’s the over-under on Trump walking out of the Oval with $1billion in stolen funds? The $230 million from justice is a decent start.
Since moving back to Newfoundland I’ve been doing a little song writing. This just happens to be the first recording I’m halfway happy with :) it’s a holiday/winter tune that I’d love to play out someday soon.

A quick little groovy Christmas song written and recorded at my house in October 2025. All about enjoying the snow and the holiday season.

It's important to regulate the practice of Counselling Therapy in the province. It keeps the public safe, legitimizes the profession for third party payers and the provincial health care, and we continue to be the only province in Atlantic Canada that hasn't made this important move.
Yup, that's me - at 23:32 or so.

Last week when I was at the CBC Studios for The Signal, I got to record a quick question for the provincial leaders' debate. I was disappointed that neither of the leaders addressed my question!

I've done this twice now, so I feel I can justifiably say "It's always fun hanging out with @adamfwalsh.bsky.social over at The Signal! Great conversation with the panel today.

Take: the events this week with #kirk will lead to either the end of the US democracy or the end of the evangelical church.
Hanging out in Twilllingate for a few days.

It's beautiful here.

Such a stunning place.

Love this photo from a set with Haley in St John’s. There’s so much going on here but it comes together in a beautiful image.
Apparently #Gretzky is at the Capitals game tonight with Kash Patel, removing all doubt that his support of Canada is out the window.

It was a nice run, used to be great one.
Exactly what Canada needs right now 🙄

I think it's a ploy to bolster the CPC in the National election. If PP wins, Alberta stays; if not, AB is outta here.

Hopefully after the mess down south, AB will see that sovereignty and/or affiliating with the US is a non-starter.

I don't know if they're well meaning or not but 7 Cups, unfortunately, has self-sabotaged any sense of trust with the #mentalhealth community by using our data without consent.

In order for #Trumps tariffs to work, he needs the rest of the world to have American values of individualism and dogmatic capitalism.

The rest of the world does not.

That’s his critical error.

That’s why this fails.

That’s why America is in trouble.
Trump has made a career of wasting other people’s money for his own gain.

Liberation Day is just the next iteration of this. At everyone’s expense but his.
Looking to speak with someone at @psychologytoday.com to chat about whether my information may have been shared?
“The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over,” he said.

PM Carney

I couldn't agree more.
“Could be the signal wasn’t very good.”

Yeah.

Could be.
Even if you're of the opinion that Trump is a 5D chess-playing genius (he's not... but even if....), the team around him are oafish and bumbling at best.

They can still do damage.

But they're dumb.
I take some photos.
I love a creative couple shoot - it's probably my fave thing to shoot. Here's Haley and Nathan at a cool venue in St. John's, NL.
Can you imagine the absolute the eruption of Canadian cheers at the singing of The Star Spangled Banner under a new US president?? It's gonna be epic.
