I will be live tweeting from the virtual parole hearing for Paul #Bernardo @PBC_CLCC. It's set to get underway at 10 am. Only accredited media and accredited observers are invited to attend
Bernardo is sitting alone in a room with a window behind him. Wearing a blue t-shirt. He says "good morning" and confirms he wants the hearing held in english. He seems relaxed. His hair is neatly cut with short sideburns
There's a bit of a delay. Bernardo is 56 years old now but doesn't look his age. He is looking down and around the room during the silence

When Dr Bonnie Henry picked up shoes named after her, and had her photo taken at a painting in her honour, celebration of Western Canada “flattening the curve” was at a high.

I noticed people were getting tense and nervous a few weeks ago, as others seemed to drop their guards and go out to socialize and hit the gym.

In the last week, officials in B.C. reported #COVID19 cases have tripled while Alberta saw a 50% increase. thestar.com/news/canada/20…
In Calgary, a cluster of fitness studios closed after an outbreak from a spin workout at a makeshift basement studio.

I have conflicted feelings about the #Canadian #DDAY commemorations that took place over the last few days, and I struggle during #RemembranceDay because of increasing glorification of war, militarization, and platitudes about honour, duty, and sacrifice. /1
My family has a long history of military service in both World Wars. My great-uncle joined the Royal Newfoundland Regiment, fought at Gallipolli, and died at Beaumont-Hamel. My great-grandfather also enlisted in the RNR and survived the Great War except for a missing finger. /2
My paternal grandfather was a member of the Canadian militia in the interwar years, was a Major during WW2 and remained in Canada throughout the war at Shilo, MB and other bases where he was involved in training enlisted men headed overseas. /3
