Reporter: You said about the U.S., "We recognize that sometimes its signature was written in pencil." I'm wondering how you know that this time the president will sign in pen?

Greg MacEachern on Danielle Smith: "It's kind of shameful how expensive it was in order for her to run a referendum to decide whether or not she has the power and strength to say to separatists, 'Get out of my party.'"

Happy Thanksgiving whatever that looks like in your home.

Get out and vote! #Burnaby
