I now live in a fully vaccinated household as my two youngest kids just got their second shots. I know some of you will call me a sheep or worse but I feel good about my decision.

If you point to Denmark dropping all COVID restrictions, the responsible thing to do is also point out the main reason they’re doing it is because they have ample health care and hospital capacity. As usual, context matters.

I know a lot of peoples’ Xmas plans are thwarted.BUT I’m thinking about the front line workers who are CHOOSING to give up their time with family to help us through the pandemic by working. Amazing,

Several times each day, even though I know this is reality, I seriously have a flash where I double-check with my brain that this isn’t a dream/nightmare we are having. Anyone else having this “feeling”?

I remember every detail (where, when, who, what I was wearing, what they were wearing, the look on their face, their voice etc), of every time, someone told me "go back to where you came from". This stuff embeds itself in you. You never forget. And yeah, it cuts deep and hurts.

It's my dad's 80th birthday. We are supposed be in Saskatoon today. Alas. He followed his gf from India in 1967 for a new life in Canada. He was a full-partner in raising his kids. He's one of the funniest and loving humans. I love him so much and I want you all to know that.

Yes, Social distancing is hard. You know what's harder? Getting ill, severely ill in some cases,watching people you love dying. We all need to do our part. No exceptions. No playdates, No playgrounds, No hanging out with friends, no dinner parties, no coffee with friends. Please!

One of the most discombobulating things in these times is how one day living in a pandemic feels totally normal, the next day, depressing and how I just bounce between the two extremes with no rhyme or reason.

No matter if you think kids should be back in school or not....one thing every parent is balancing in their own head is the risk/consequences of isolation versus the risk/consequence of infection. They both cause concern and worry. And both take up a lot of "brain space"

Curious why many media outlets keep calling the suspects “teens” which they are, but they’re 18 and 19, so are, and are charged as adults. Why don’t they call them ‘“men”?

23 years ago today I started work @cbc. First @CBCSask followed by many locations in both tv and radio. I have quit and done other things during those 23 years but I have to say having my own show @cbcradio with @CBCSunday is a really cool thing. Happy anniversary to me!

HE'S HOME! When I posted a month ago that our indoor cat ran away, hundreds responded w/stories of "happy cat returns". I was hopeful, yet skeptical. Tonight our boy Smokey was found a block away. Thanks for all your good wishes, & checkins Twitterverse. You can be for good.
Our cat escaped and has been missing for three days. I need to share some TRUE stories with the despondent kids. How long has your cat disappeared for before returning home? (And yes, we’ve done all the things you’re supposed to when a cat goes missing)

My first outings were to pick up pizza and get wine. At both places, workers said many customers were unkind. They understand people are stressed, but please can we all try and be nicer to workers who are still at their front line jobs? Grace and kindness go a long way.

This election, with its first racialized leader of a party, is going to show an awful but very real part of Canada to us. I wish it didn't exist, but it does. No denying it.
The man with the microphone in the crowd emphasizes his name as JAAAAAAAAAGmeet, and says “what kind of a name is that?” Says he shouldn’t be allowed to run, and says he should leave Quebec’s secularism law alone.

Fact: Any province can use the Astra-Zeneca vaccine for Adults under 55 years old (and those older) . Health Canada has approved its use for EVERYONE last week. Any politician who claims something different, that's on them. And it's not true.

I don't recall any health expert, scientist saying being vaccinated would mean you would NOT get Covid. They've said it will lessen your chances, & more importantly lessen your chances of getting seriously ill or dying. Yes, Omicron is challenging the first pt, but not the 2nd.

Many of OUR essential workers (healthcare, grocery stores, back rooms, restaurant kitchens, factories) have families in India. While they serve Canadians right now, many of them live in hotspots. Some are sick, others sick with worry. Be extra kind to them.

Can/Did the Ontario government explain why those who got AZ for first shot now have to be at back of line for a second dose even if they are willing to get Pfizer? Cuz There’s a lot of rage from the gen x crowd right now, And there might be a good reason for delay but explain it

I find it surprising how many people find it hard how to define Kamala Harris’ identity (trolls aside) It’s easy. She’s American. She’s Black. She is of Indian and Jamaica heritage. She’s not ONE of those things. She is All of those things. That is how SHE self-identifies.

For those of you interested, the name "Kamala" means "lotus". It's also the name of a Hindu Goddess--know for creation and consciousness, and represented as a beautiful woman adorned with silk sitting atop a lotus. And this is how the name is spelled in Hindi: कमल #KamalaHarris

Every mom I have spoken to/ran into this week in Toronto is just worn out. The pandemic, the managing of kids, the uncertainty of what school will be, the extraordinary heat- it’s just soooo much. And it feels like for so many this week it’s been like a plough of exhaustion.

Thought of the day: 1. Not all immigrants are PoC; 2. Not all PoC are immigrants 3. There is no such thing as “2nd,3rd generation immigrant”. The kids born in the place someone immigrates to, say Canada, for example, are not immigrants. #IamCanadian
