I try to be a good example to people in my life. I often fail miserably, but I do try. Last week, I returned to work after major surgery. (I was blown away by the well-wishes; thank you!) You’d

Two days away from a major surgery, I’ve been thinking a lot about advocacy. It’s common advice to those who are dealing with our wonderful yet flawed healthcare system to be their own advocates or to bring someone who can

Good morning and happy Monday. I hope you were able to relish your weekend, unlike this slippery nightmare for some folks in Pennsylvania. As someone who once ran a hot-dog-related story on the front page of her major daily newspaper, I fully endorse this

  Good morning, and happy Monday. I hope your weekend was both embarrassment and crime-free, unlike the folks in this New Zealand town, whose underwear (and other clothing items) are systemically being pilfered by a crime-loving feline named Leonardo da Pinchy.

I was reading a story on the MotherCorp about a facial expression called The Gen-Z Stare. To be fair, it’s more of a lack of facial expression, and it’s one I’ve seen on my Gen-Z kid’s face at least 100,000

We hope your weekend was lucky, except not in the way this kid said he was lucky after being hit by lightning in New York.

As he walked across the stage with a goofy cap on his head and a goofier smile on his face, I screamed, ‘THAT’S MY ANDY!’

Every Manitoba ECE will now make more than the current provincial estimated living wage. That even includes CCAs, or those who are uncertified but working in daycares.

A change in government always means a change in relationships. But it remains to be seen what this means for advocacy efforts for the non-profit sector.

In all that time, Andy and I have never gone on a vacation where I wasn’t working (!) or where we didn’t see family. We couldn’t afford it.

But Canadians’ anxiety levels are ratcheting up and are expected to do so again today after U.S. President Donald Trump announces new tariffs against… probably everyone, who knows.

This prompted a coworker to send me a message: “Red lipstick, the cat, you look like a villain I’d follow into battle!!!!!!”

Her words made my brain light up. I’m pretty sure I even manifested a light bulb above my head.

I share a 720 sq. ft. house with three cats, two people, one dog and one robot vacuum, lovingly named Alfred (yes, after Batman’s butler.)

Good morning and happy Monday! I hope your weekend was chill, like these dolphins, who apparently chew on puffer fish to zone out.

The most common question I get as a journalist is overwhelmingly, “How do I get the media to do a story on (insert event, noun, issue here)?” That’s a simple question with a very long answer. A few weeks ago,

I’ve been pondering an eloquent way to articulate how many of us feel this morning. Then I realized there is no nice way to describe fear.

Just before I sent out this newsletter, we once again got breaking news. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, just hours before she was to give the fall economic update.

Have you ever tried to push a wheelchair through the snow on a crumbling sidewalk, even if it’s shovelled? Yeah, it’s tricky.

Over the past weeks, users have abandoned Twitter—er, X, whatever—in droves for the “new” microblogging social media site Bluesky. It’s been dubbed the Great X-odous.

As I write this, it’s drizzling outside while a few clicks away in any given direction, there’s snow on the ground. We are a prairie snow donut. A snownut!

There are two reports that have been released in the past two days about the mental health of Canadians, and I can personally confirm most of it. The Canadian Mental Health Association’s report called The State of Mental Health in Canada

So I wanted to pass on that ray of light to others, like myself, who are dealing with loss and uncertainty as we approach winter in Canada.
