2024 was a kinder year for me than the past few years. It started with fulfilling a long time dream of visiting Bora Bora and Tahiti and ended with a white Christmas surrounded by good friends. Hoping 2025 brings more travel 🧳 adventures & new friends

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought:
- 1.65 million deaths from AIDS
- 500,000 from lack of vaccines
- 550,000 from lack of food aid
- 290,000 from malaria
- 310,000 from TB
Killing children is by design, I'm afraid. "Pro-natalists" like Musk claim they aren't racist, but their pressure to have children is solely focused on white women, while they back policies that literally kill of non-white children.

He's a eugenicist.

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True.
A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.

Canadian PM Justin Trudeau:

"Today, the United States launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense."

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty.
The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean.
Sucks for Kentucky and California.

🇨🇦 Grocery shopping today almost every person I saw in every aisle was checking to be sure they were purchasing produce and products made in Canada 🇨🇦 or any other country but the US. We may be polite & nice but we can be pissed off. We will never be American

Access to safe abortion protects the health of women and girls.

As with all other health services, women and girls should be able to access safe and respectful abortion care, when they need it, without fear of harm, punishment or recrimination.

Every year, on #December6, we remember the femicide that tragically took the lives of 14 women at the École Polytechnique de Montréal.

We will always honour their memory.

Each of us has an important role in standing up against all forms of violence against women. #EndGBV

“Police have now confirmed: 14 students dead, all women.” 💔
35 years later, that sentence —and everything it meant about the motives of the killer—still stops me in my tracks.
May we remember their names and honour their memories. #Montreal #December6 #Polytechnique

#December6 is a day in 🇨🇦 never to be forgotten. I had just graduated with a Masters in a male dominated field only months before. My entire career I worked to create public policy that supports women and vulnerable people yet here we are 35 yrs later dealing with even worse rhetoric #BeSafe
Today is #December6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

In 1989, 13 women studying engineering and one woman working at l'École Polytechnique were murdered in a deliberate act of misogyny and anti-feminist hate.

First, we mourn, then we take action. #16Days

a week ago I went the #PEISpiritfestival & enjoyed all the tastings. One was so incredible that I am still thinking about it, the Grand Marnier Cuvée Du Centenaire. Only $160 per bottle 🤷🏼‍♀️ oh why do I have such expensive tastes! I blame having lived in #paris #cognac #livinglarge #France

A crow welcome to my new neighbourhood. Late this afternoon I could hear a crow convention taking place all around and on top of the house I just moved into. Looked out my front window and captured just a small number of the participants on the lawn across the street from me. #crows #nature
