It's always nice when good news makes the headlines and the story of the missing three year old in Quebec has had, in the words of the SQ spokesperson "the best possible outcome". It is our top story on CBC News Network at 7 and 8 eastern and we expect more details from police.

Thanks to Sarah Z for telling her story. It's an important message (and it was a nice bonus to connect with a Mount Allison alum!).

This is my Dad's old typewriter. That alone makes it special. But only now have I appreciated how beautiful it is. The lines. The colour. Form and function.

"It is hard to make sense of something so senseless". Interim Vancouver Police Chief updating last night's terrible tragedy. Says 11 people killed and that number may rise. Driver has history of contact with police and mental health history. Crown has not yet laid charges.

There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

Lots of thoughtful social media criticism of our question for Sunday's Checkup and we listened. The new question: what do you think of Trump's comments about Canada becoming the 51st state? The show's being simulcast on more than 100 NPR stations. It's a chance to make your voice heard.

I see some people are upset with our topic Checkup Sunday. With President Trump repeating his "51st state" comments, we feel it is important to talk about. Even better, for Americans to hear our voices via the NPR stations that will be simulcasting.

#flagday at Saturday morning ball hockey. Canadian jerseys are just part of it. The deeper meaning is being able to keep a friendly, competitive game going for more than thirty years, with players from a wide variety of backgrounds. Perfectly Canadian. 🇨🇦🥅💪🏾

Sunday on Checkup we're asking "How has Donald Trump's presidency changed the way you feel about being Canadian and celebrating your patriotism?" Should be a great conversation as we hear voices from across Canada. You can also reply here. I'll read some of the social media comments on the show.

Checkup is not on tv this afternoon but as always, 52 weeks a year, we're live and on CBC Radio at 4 et/1 pt. Already getting lots of potential callers in our 1st hour topic: the Trump "jokes" about Canada as the 51st state. 2nd hour: are kids in school ruder these days?

Just had the most pleasant experience with US Homeland Security at YVR. The officer was friendly. Welcoming. I used to dread going through Immigration into the States. You can be vigilant and welcoming.

With the last concert in the Eras Tour happening three blocks away from work, I thought I'd walk by. What a scene. Fans lined up outside. No ticket. No problem. I've never seen this at a concert here.

Our topic on Checkup Sunday: which services deserve a tip and which don't. Is it a fair way to pay workers? I hope I can use some of the replies in the show.

CBC is helping our audience Make the Season Kind with special programming across the country. I'm in Moncton where I co-hosted Information Morning with fellow TRHS grad Jonna Brewer. I also hosted this program as a summer student (a long time ago). Great to be back.

Was curious about the resale market for Taylor Swift tickets in Vancouver this week. "Amazing Deal" clearly open the interpretation. Keep in mind, these are asking prices. And if you do buy a resold ticket, make sure it's from a trusted vendor. The VPD published some advice.
