Today on Remembrance Day, I remember my great grandfather Captain Hira Singh, our Canadian Veterans and all those from around the world who allied to defend the freedoms we cherish today.

Buried in the Doug Ford govt's fall budget are changes that would remove parts of Wasaga beach from provincial protection. As I reported in August, those parts are 60% of the world’s longest freshwater beach and the main nesting area for the endangered piping plover: thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

I had the pleasure of seeing gannets for the FIRST TIME from a distance in Cheticamp, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
However, the next day, I missed my birding boat tour by an hour because I had put it in my digital calendar under the wrong time zone 😑
One day I'll be back with my binoculars
