Paris is where i started writing several of the songs from “Codes and Secret Longing”, and to be returning to perform in the place that found its way into so much of my 1st album (not to mention my heart), is a pretty extraordinary feeling. ❤️

New COVID-19 vaccines are now available in many pharmacies, for everyone age 65 or ppl with underlying health conditions.
You’d be forgiven for not knowing, because there’s been zero publicity by feds or provinces

What happens when we lose our shared political vocabulary? We stop being able to hear each other; to converse in meaningful ways. leaving us prey to conspiracy theories, autocrats and the machinations of greed. That's the warning in my new book.

You may have heard his voice on radio or seen him on TV.
@CBCnews has lost one of its best.
Reporter James Murray has passed away in Windsor, Nova Scotia.
James was a tremendous writer and a very funny guy.

She was beyond. There is no Bey or Lizzo without Tina. She embodied female resilience before it was a 'thing.' She topped the charts besting artists half her age. A legend and an inspiration with legs for days. Rest easy Tina.

Temporary employees have made up a large part of @CBCRadioCanada's workforce for decades. They're compensated the same as any other employee—with one notable exception. Most are always looking over the edge into unemployment, with no guarantee of ever securing a permanent job.
ALT The CBC Toronto building gleams red and white on Mar. 7, 2023. Hundreds of the public broadcaster’s employees, including temporary workers, occupy this building each day to bring stories to Canadians across the country.

The Specials were a celebration of how British culture was envigorated by Caribbean immigration but the onstage demenour of their lead singer was a reminder that they were in the serious business of challenging our perception of who we were in the late 1970s. RIP Terry Hall
