“Corus, the parent company of Global TV, is preparing to shut down news production in Calgary and Edmonton and transfer the work to Toronto, the Western Standard has learned. "There will be a lot of layoffs," said the source.”

It’s rare that I feel speechless, but tonight is one of those nights. Feeling sad, angry and betrayed by @Rogers and @RogersMediaPR tonight! @CityNewsKIT was part of the heart & soul of our community - a trusted news source, a vital space for democratic accountability on shows like @farwell_WR, community pride during @OHLRangers games, national pride with our @BlueJays! Your trusted journalists & team members deserved better, the @CityKitchener community deserved better and our country that you have made billions in profits from deserved better. There is more to say, but for now, my heart goes out to the incredible @CityNewsKIT team and all @Rogers staff members impacted in Kitchener, Calgary, Halifax, Vancouver and Toronto.

Heartbreaking news today. Local news matters. Huge loss for local news coverage here in WR and around the country. We need local information, connection and engagement now more than ever. My heart is with our radio family. #LocalNewsMatters

🇨🇦 A message from His Majesty The King to the people of Canada, celebrating the 60th Anniversary of the National Flag of Canada. 🇨🇦 Un message de Sa Majesté le Roi aux Canadiens à l’occasion du 60e anniversaire du drapeau national du Canada. On this day in 1965, Canada’s red and white maple leaf flag was raised for the very first time on Parliament Hill.

Hockey fans in Montreal belted out O Canada with heart in both official languages. #Not51 🇨🇦
Booing the Star Spangled Banner in Montréal doesn’t make Canadian fans bad sports. On the contrary. It is their opportunity to give voice to frustration with a hostile and unpredictable Trump government. Americans are going to find out increasingly how Canadians feel betrayed. #Not51 🇨🇦

FLYING THE FLAG 🇨🇦 Seeing the maple leaf while covering sporting events around the world brings such me pride. The athletes wear it as a badge of honour and never take it for granted. Happy flag day to everyone back home in Canada. Celebrating with you all today.

My @cherryhillbloom bouquets are looking so pretty in this @globeandmail feature on The Flour Mill in Downtown St. Marys. It’s worth the drive… and the stay! (And you really should grab some locally grown blooms while you are there too… hint hint!)

“That fund will be devoted to producing local TV and radio news, Indigenous content, French-language content, and content created by those with a diverse background.”

People LOVE to comment on my appearance. This is a good example of why you should stop. Thank you for making the double standard glaringly obvious @GlobalBC

It has come to my attention that a rather intense fake ad campaign using my image is spreading on X. (Again). If you see an ad, please report it. And please know it is fake. Thanks to everyone who has been sharing links.
