I can never keep this straight - do the tariffs move forward or back tonight?

I am thrilled to share that our government is delivering $300,000 from the Veteran and Family Well-being Fund to Wounded Warriors Canada, which is headquartered in Whitby! This funding is vital for expanding the Warrior Kids Program, which offers summer camps for children of trauma-exposed veterans.

Remembering the most interesting horse in the world, Cimarron my adopted Mustang on #NationalHorseProtectionDay If you have the chance to adopt a Mustang, you won’t regret it! Cimarron was feral until the age of 13. She was part of our herd until she passed away at the age of 30.

Wind chill of -20 Celsius and fresh snow last night. March coming in like a lion in our neck of the woods. #horsesofbluesky

Can you imagine someone in today's world letting a 6 year old and a 10 year old travel around the country with no adult? www.thevintagenews.com/2017/04/21/t...

For everyone in Ontario, get out and vote today. Make sure your voice is heard!

Hoping the media is incessant this week in its coverage of Doug Ford giving Elon Musk $100M.

I regret to report that seminal New York Doll David Johansen is battling cancer in Cali. I owe him so much that of course I mailed a tax-deductible check to David Johansen Fund, Sweet Relief Musician Fund, 2650 East Imperial Highway Suite 208, Brea CA 92821-6135 while the P.O. is still operative.

Cat sitting this absolute cling on. Not going to lie, he’s an absolute delight! #catsofbluesky

“So it was, on that misty morning, that Brenda set off for the capital. She knew not what she would find there, only that the time had come to move on - away from small-minded rural attitudes and people who called her ‘Oreo’ and ‘the wide panda’ - to seek a more fulfilling life.”

In a TV panel on Tuesday, and I joked that Canada's promised "24/7 eyes on the border" should be some hockey sticks with googly eyes jammed in a snowbank. Aaron and his mom KJ, in Winnipeg, liked the idea, so they made us some truly amazing border sentries. I hope Mr. Trump feels more secure now.

"”The start of a tariff war with the US is changing voters' moods. It's harder to talk about a broken Canada when there's a growing sense of patriotism," another Conservative source said.” Hunh. Who would’ve guessed the CPC would be frustrated by Canadian patriotism.
