This Wednesday, April 1st, we celebrate the first birthday of Carter Gaudreau - a little boy who looks just like the father he will never meet. I cannot thank Meredith Gaudreau enough for opening up her life to share this powerful story. @wsyx6

On the ground here in TR. This small mountain community is silent today. Very few people out and about. Roads closed. Police tape and barricades up with a heartfelt handful of flowers for the victims.

When I was writing this I went down a rabbit hole of private equity buying (and lowering the quality of) fast food outlets like Tim Horton's, Subway, Quizno's. Breyer's technically not being "ice cream" anymore. I couldn't work it in but food is increasingly engineered.
Opinion: Not only is food more expensive, it is also becoming ultraprocessed garbage theglobeandmail.com/business…

Update #4 - 12:10am 31 December 2025 I have spoken with Premier Danielle Smith and MP Corey Hogan to brief them on the situation. Both have offered their full support, and provincial and federal officials are standing by should additional resources be required. Coordination across all orders of government is ongoing. #yyccc
Update #3 - 11:15pm 30 December 2025 The teams are still doing their assessment work. Given the magnitude of the break, we likely won't have further details until 6am. #yyccc

Just spoke with Deputy Chief James Docherty of the Calgary Fire Department. He relayed to me that 13 people were rescued from the flash flood on Highway 1 tonight. Incredible work by their aquatic team.

Here is a statement from Alberta’s municipal affairs minister re: local elections. Essentially… it says if vote results are delayed tonight (since they banned electronic voting tabulator), that’s on municipalities. #ableg #yegvote

The Golden Knights asked me to leave their practice facility and revoked my credential because I asked one of their players about the Hockey Canada 5. Their sensitivity underscores the dicey nature of the decision VGK and Carolina are facing. My story: nytimes.com/athletic/6656048…
