And a special thanks to David and so many other special friends who showed up to support the community and help me celebrate moment.
Proud to celebrate @rdmoccia last night who received an award for top 7 over 70 from the @UnitedWay for his many volunteer and mentoring roles at @uofg, OAC, Bruce Trail, Big Brothers and Sisters, and others. Congrats Rich!
I’m not sure whether the Republicans or my beloved Montreal Canadians suffered the more humiliating loss last night ?!! We’re living in a tear in the fabric of the universe with no Picard !
