About last night... That #WorldSeries game was one for the ages. 18 innings is equal to 2 games. An entertaining game but a painful loss for #BlueJays fans. Many new records set. If history can teach us anything, the 2018 Boston Red Sox might have something to say about comebacks & winning titles!

As a negotiator, Trump's style is 100% textbook 'Driver'. Being a Driver himself, one would think Doug Ford would understand that!

“I love Canada so much. ❤️
One of the things that I love most about Canadians is that... I don’t know what it is, but lots of them ... they are just naturally ... optimistic. They can always see the positive side of things.
That’s dope!"
