In the 1980s, I recorded a demo with Charlie Angus and his band L'étranger, and I performed at the annual women's shelter benefits that he organized. How wonderful it was to see him in person again 4 decades later at the "Finding Light In These Dark Times" town hall! #MeidasCanada #CharlieAngus

Trump has turned the United States into an obedient puppet of the Kremlin.
Trump has been a Russian asset for 40 years. The question is why did the political, military and media look the other way?
I break down what it means for Ukraine.

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

Today marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
We are holding in our heart the children who never came home from residential schools, and the families whose lives have been forever changed. We honour residential school survivors, who had their names, languages, and cultures torn away.

Let's cheer the Canadian women dominating world rugby. They had to crowd source to raise the money to even get into the tournament. Nobody took them seriously. They crushed the New Zealand giants. They are going into the finals.
Come on fellow Canucks - is the real miracle team.
