Oh my this is a shocker. I am so sorry, my friend.Since we started working together years ago at CTV I’ve watched you work your butt off and earn the respect of colleagues,competitors and viewers.None of us last in these gigs forever but seems to me you deserve better than this.

Not to pile on when a province is in such a crisis, but given how badly @jkenney has handled the pandemic, ignored advice, ignored alarms bells from doctors and nurses and cost lives (24 deaths in last 24 hours) can he survive politically?

Here's a (completely non-partisan) simple question. If @JustinTrudeau is so confident in his leadership and the strength and smarts of his government, why not continue with the mandate Canadian voters gave him 17 months ago? Is this election call a sign of strength or weakness?

Please forgive a rare personal moment…this is my dad. He would have turned 100 today (or maybe 101, we’re not exactly sure. His birth certificate got lost on the way to Canada). Look at that smile.❤️ (Hug your dad, if he’s still around.)

So, I am confused. They keep demanding freedom, right? They look pretty free to me. How many other countries would let this go on for more than 2 weeks, right next to the seat of government?

Our latest dispatch from Ottawa's nightlight Convoy organizer and newly minted Wellington St. VIP Pat King came to enjoy Ottawa's Second Hottest Club. King danced a jig on stage, while fireworks went off in the crowd in the background #cdnpoli #ottnews

Life is full of endings and beginnings. I slipped away from funeral coverage in 🇬🇧 to perform the wedding ceremony in Ontario for these beautiful souls,my step-daughter Erin and her wife Alex. ♥️ Blessed to have them in my life. (Back in London for the Queen’s funeral Monday.)

Hey there-a little update from me. I’ve been off over the summer after a family bereavement, an illness (all better now!), much needed rest plus dropping off my son for his first year of university. (Grateful he’s happy/healthy/launched but the nest feels very empty 😢)

Bestselling🇺🇸 author gives up writing novels, switching gears to take on Trumpism, which he believes is a cancer that has metastasized and a more dangerous form of it will emerge after the November midterms. 👇

This will be my focus now. "Democrats have better ideas, better candidates, and a better vision for tomorrow. What they don't have is BETTER MESSAGING and I'm going to try and change that." I will be paying for everything myself and not accepting any donations. Don Winslow

Journalism seems more precarious today. I feel for all those good, committed journalists who lost their jobs. In an already shrinking industry, more cuts hurt all of us, diminish how Canadians get their information, and reduce the ability to pursue complex stories.

A little update about @GlobalNational We’re adjusting how we work. I am no longer in the studio, but on a balcony in North Van with a crew of 2, keeping our distance from each other and the public. Also, much of the rest of our team is working from home. (Thanks you guys!)

Every day on @GlobalNational we try our level best to clearly communicate public health messages about the pandemic so Canadians can make informed decisions. Today, the messaging from NACI about vaccines was so muddled I didn’t know what to tell our viewers. #mixedmessages
