What I learnt on the Twitter this week:

1. Doug Ford inadvertently reveals his top-secret Pandemic Command Table is made up of his wife.
2. Doug says he was so busy campaigning across Ontario this summer he didn't realize Ontarians were behaving irresponsibly during a pandemic.

5. Kenney says UCP is creating new jobs in Alberta and hiring Stephen Harper's son in just the beginning of that growth.
6. Doug Ford announces he's overcome his fear of electric cars.
7. Jason Kenney scratches Doug Ford off his Christmas card list. Waves fist at unicorn farts.
8. NDP support motion to stop CPC's WE crusade. Poilievre outraged. Says he needed prior notice of the motion so he'd have time to get his spy drone fleet back up over Trudeau's house.
9. Trudeau government moves to ban single-use plastics. O'Toole says he'll stand up for sporks.
10. Green party elects new leader. That is all.
11. With Ontario reaching record case numbers this week Doug says he doesn't regret opening casinos for two weeks because the revenue generated will be used to create community programs that will be shut down due to the pandemic.

14. Andrew Scheer writes a letter on behalf of Andrew Scheer.
15. Tory says decision to shut down Toronto business is a provincial decision. Doug says decision to shut down Toronto business is a Dr. Williams decision. Dr Williams says he has to defer to the data. Doug calls his wife Karla to ask what province should do. Karla makes gravy.
16. Elliott says record numbers of Covid cases and increasing number of hospitalizations the result of Ontarians being reckless and doing all the stuff permitted by the Ontario government.
17. Millions across Ontario cancel family Thanksgiving dinners. And the big turkeys danced.
18. Asked what he will do if Trump refuses to hand over the WH peacefully, Mike Pence says his housefly lawyer counsels him not to answer the question.
19. Trump says he feels better now than he did before the Covid. Goes on to roid rage at a Christmas tree.
20. Melania who?
21. Finance committee Chair, Wayne Easter, shuts down committee by holding thumb and index finger up to webcam and saying to Poilievre, "I am squishing your head! I am squishing your head!"
22. Doug blames delays in test results on California wildfires.
23. Doug's heart. Broken.
24. I picked up the guitar as a kid thanks to Eddie Van Halen. Paying him a huge debt of gratitude.
25. 2020's not been great. But it's Thanksgiving. So grab your longboard and cranberry juice. Go for a ride. Chillax. Breathe. Take it all in. Be well.

Saw the blue sky this morning and thought it looks like a rockstar day. Stepped outside and the chilly temps broke my heart. Saw all the leaves on the ground and I hit the roof. Put all my sweaters on the table. Spared no expense on coffee. Then I got laser focused on some bacon.
Saw the neighbours passing doobies. I yelled "What're ya doin, ya Yahoos?!" I was shocked the leaves were falling in autumn. Made raking the leaves my number 1 priority. Created a robust and massive plan to make a pile of leaves. Kids belong in leaf piles, I thought to myself.
Decided to create the leaf pile one leaf at a time, because kids wouldn't understand the leaf pile if I built it all at once. I saw the kids were jumping into the four or five leaves and hurting themselves, so I made jumping in the leaf pile by appointment only.
