We rushed to Bloor Street -- my husband, my friend, and me -- and just joined the throng. A kid about 13 years old rushed past me with his friends and "honked" my breast as he went "woooo." I mean, it was an assault, but such a shock from this elated kid that I just gasped and laughed.

Toronto: As Peter Ustinov fondly said, "it's like New York run by the Swiss." ❤️ #home #Toronto

After I interviewed him for CBC News, Mr. Gergen followed me on Twitter. I was thrilled and honoured. And later, when I called about another invu that he was unable to do, he was so gracious and generous with his time. His insights have been missed at a crucial time. Condolences to his loved ones.

👏👏👏🍀💚HH

I have listened to this more times than I can count over the last decade. ❤️

Narrator: they were not considering the offer

“.. Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a UK vehicle with very little U.S. content than a USMCA compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts.” @thehill.com @scottlincicome.bsky.social thehill.com/business/529...

Oh well, Sovereignty is also a big deal, especially now! 🇨🇦

Given it's #WorldPressDay, there is only one horse to root for. Go Journalism! #KentuckyDerby (OK Sandman is my second choice cuz he is so pretty). 🐎

✅️ Bit of a line but moved quickly. Thank you election workers. 🇨🇦

Canadian reporter is CBC's Katie Simpson:

Maestro David Briskin led the National Ballet of Canada Orchestra and the audience in a rousing rendition of O Canada before the opening of Swan Lake. #ElbowsUp is not one of ballet’s traditional positions of the arms, but everyone in Canada is adapting.

The word "trade war" gets thrown around casually. They're usually more tits for tats, escalating diplomatic eye-poking. But what Trump is doing now with Canada, just upgraded with new tariffs this morning, is more and more like waging a war against our neighbor albeit it economic means.

He really is a great Canadian and just a great person. 🇨🇦

Our front page today. Happy 181st birthday to Canada's national newspaper.

The boycott is strong and getting stronger every day.

Canada’s prime minister Justin Trudeau will meet the King tomorrow and, asked what they l’ll discuss, says nothing is more important to Canadians right now than standing up for Canadian sovereignty.

White House just clarified to me that Trump yesterday wasn’t promising that the big Canada/Mexico tariffs are coming in March 4 Says that tariff’s fate is still TBD. Says yesterday he was talking about something different www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Colleagues, please stop this kind of reporting. It’s as offensive as “Who would be the local governor in Russian-ruled Ukraine?”

Just a lovely tale from a great writer.

We had some spots in mind for the next few years: Savannah, Charleston, Wisconsin, a return to Disney World, possibly the Grand Canyon. No more. Not a dime. New plan: domestic travel and a bit of Europe. It's sad but necessary.

In the real world, there is virtually no support in Canada for becoming America’s 51st state. Like, nowhere in the country. From @338canada.bsky.social

Great journalist.

Anyone else suddenly dealing with a twitchy eye?

To understand the moment we are in as a country, this is incredibly important to take in:

Canadian officials said they specifically want to focus on goods made in Republican or swing states, where the pain of tariffs would affect Donald Trump's allies.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer warned that potential 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada suggested by President-elect Donald Trump could harm the US auto sector, damage supply chains, slow production lines, and cut ‘jobs on both sides of the border’ reut.rs/3WnDYue

There are words on my lips I have never spoken on social media. Please think of the worst profanities you can and you will be close. 🇨🇦

Happy New Year to everyone except the jerks currently setting off continuous fireworks in our quiet residential neighbourhood. All the pets around think you're the worst.

Do I understand basset hounds? I do not. #sillylily

My friends all know me well. #bassethound #Christmasgift

Got rear-ended by a young driver last night. Quite a bit of damage. He was in a rental provided by his insurance company because he said he had just had an accident in his own vehicle earlier in the day!

Merry Christmas.

It's Die Hard night... with my own John McClane in residence -- a favourite gift from a Christmas past. #holidaytradition

Heads up Toronto folks

And, as a result, this is the line to get off the platform at Spadina. One staircase! Feels unsafe. How is this allowed? @cityoftoronto.bsky.social @ttcriders.bsky.social

They died because they were women. Today is the 35th anniversary of the Dec. 6, 1989 Polytechnique Massacre. 14 women, most engineering students, were murdered by a misogynist gunman. December 6 is now the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. www.cbc.ca/montreal/fea...

I've made it big.

This is my one year anniversary on the @bsky.app! 🎉 I joined when you still needed an invitation code, but only recently started using in earnest. To mark the day, I just deactivated the other place after 12+ yrs. 😊

Saw this at our vet last night. Anyone in Toronto who is interested, Elvis needs a good home. #cats #seniorcat #toronto

Our brave senior Daisy had dental surgery and several benign cysts removed today. We were worried since she is almost 13, but she's a trooper and the vet was so good with her. #bassethound #coneofshame

Passing by all these fabulous, joyfully dressed Swifties pouring out of Union Station, I'm really wishing I'd invested in the sequin market a few years back. #Toronto
