Happy 92nd birthday to Sidney Poitier. He starred in To Sir With Love, In The Heat of the Night and Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner - all in 1967!! Amazing.
Current view. Amazing to think a section of the parliament buildings is closed for renovations - for 10 years.
Spoke to a wonderful audience at @carleton_u yesterday about the power of storytelling. (📷: Kim Hellemans)

It was on this day back in 1971 when Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau mumbled something under his breath in the House of Commons. The MPs said it was the F-bomb. Trudeau said he merely said “Fuddle Duddle.” We bought this mug that week and we’ve had it ever since.

Happy birthday to my little brother Mike, who would have been 57 today. Talented, funny and adored by his three nieces. He left us way too soon.
