@CreeClayton thank you for your sharing today. Was particularly moved by your story about your father. Is it available in audio/print and where might I find it? Thank-you!
@FlairAirlines 2h 15m on hold and the call-back system not working. Customer Service person was great and helpful, but you are seriously understaffed!
Whatever else #Bill64 does, it replaces an entire system of publicly elected local representation with a centrally appointed board. @BrianPallister and the @PCcaucus and are no friends of democracy.

Les Canadiens sont profondément perturbés et attristés par l’attaque contre la démocratie survenue aux États‑Unis, notre plus proche allié et voisin. La violence ne l’emportera jamais sur la volonté du peuple. La démocratie aux États-Unis doit être respectée, et elle le sera.
Canadians are deeply disturbed and saddened by the attack on democracy in the United States, our closest ally and neighbour. Violence will never succeed in overruling the will of the people. Democracy in the US must be upheld - and it will be.
@PreetBharara @AnneMilgram In a completely hypothetical situation: if a former president is legitimately convicted & imprisoned, would that individual still be entitled to staff & office expenses, secret service protections, & daily intelligence briefings? Thank #AskPreet

If Trump spoke to the meaning and substance of the graphs rather than the length of the bar, I’d give him some credit. Here... look... this one the US has a small bar, so that’s a good one. Oi t.co/BqsA2EdqGp
@RbACorp hey... how many times do I have to Unsubscribe to your daily spammy emails?! Been a few years and I’m less interested in your services with each one.
@PreetBharara @AnneMilgram When you say, “separate and apart from...” what is the difference between “separate” and “apart”? Can something be separate but not apart from? Or apart but not separate from? Really value your perspective and insight #askpreet #StayTuned #CafeInsider

What does a VP do in an empty school at the end of the day when she’s missing the staff and students? If you’re Ms. MacFarlane, you sing. And try to smile. We miss you ❤️ #KGCommunity #KGCrusaders #BSDSchools #bdnmb pic.twitter.com/w2Sd…

"Don Cherry's Jacket" Fabric Art
What do you do with a bin full of fabric samples? Fabric collages, of course. Lovely pieces illustrating creative landscapes and abstract patterns. Right?
Not this year. Because it is hockey season and we're nearing the Stanley Cup finals, we decided to adorn Canadian hockey icon Don Cherry with some new threads.
We found this picture of Don Cherry then cut out templates for the different parts of the suit.
We looked at the cut of the jacket, the direction of the lines. Cutting out the template pieces, each student selected a fabric sample from the booklets and cut out each piece taking care to line up the direction of the fabric to match the jacket.
Placing the fabric pieces on the picture we recreate the jacket style with a new pattern. Here are some of the finished products alongside the original.
Kids are excited about this simple pop-art-ish project as we've done some good old-fashioned cut-and-paste with fun fabrics. Thanks Don Cherry for the art inspiration!
