Thinking about my colleagues at CTV who have lost their jobs in the mass layoffs today. But I'm also thinking about news consumers in Canada. We need various sources of credible news in this age of disinformation. Choice and competition make for better journalism.

It’s Mother’s Day morning and I’m making my dog a salmon fillet for breakfast because it’s been a very busy weekend and I ran out of teenagers to send to the store for dog food yesterday. 😂

So glad were talking about loneliness.
I love living alone & being alone but I'm also a very social being. I can feel lonely at times when I crave interpersonal connections. I've got options so I'm fortunate. Many don't. We really need a loneliness strategy
