A year ago I wasn’t sure I’d get here again. Bib pickup for Saturday’s @21KdeMontréal 5k complete. Help me reach my stretch goal of raising $1000 for cancer research – donate at raceroster.com/events/2025/...

I didn’t have getting weepy watching Cory Booker hold the floor for 25+ hours on my 2025 bingo card. This timeline definitely has some unexpected twists.

Still trying to figure out who forget to check the Habs home game schedule when choosing the dates for the election debates – and the French debate no less 🤦🏻‍♀️

I don’t always agree with my baby brother, but he weaves a readable and interesting argument …

‘I’m Barkley OK’ is my new answer to all questions about how I feel after treatment.

30% of the field have voluntarily dropped and made their way back to the gate before a single cutoff has been hit. So far. Barring a group of latecomers, this could be the harshest first loop that we have records for. Like, going back to the 1980s 3 loop years. Certainly of the modern era. #bm100

Quick interloopal turnarounds and we have our first two runners on Loop 2. One runner described the course as “on the verge of perfection; there is no margin for error.” #BM100

The first runner has returned to camp on quitters road and faced the bugler. (He was not the human sacrifice.) #BM100

Lots of spectators hanging out at the fire tower, for no reason so far - no runners have come through. #BM100

Someone has quit by now. We don’t know who, we don’t know where, we don’t know why. But for sure someone has quit. We’ll find out who/when/why when they get back to camp. #BM100

Some things resonate more deeply in a Québécois context - Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social’s assertion we are « maîtres chez nous » echoes Jean Lesage and the Quiet Revolution. It is both a statement of confidence & an acknowledgement of the importance of identity within the Canadian mosaic.

5 years ago today, I wrote this "Shut it down" column, published the next day on the front page of The Globe and Mail. It remains the most impactful and most read piece I've ever written. #COVID19 consumed my life for the next few years. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic... #PandemicJournalism
