1/ My Mom planned to get an abortion when she found out she was pregnant with me and changed her mind at the last moment. I have been asked before if this personal history affects my opinion on the issue of abortion. 2/ My answer is that I believe that abortions should be safe, legal and accessible. If she had decided to have that abortion I would have wanted it to be safe for her. And for the four kids she had already, and everyone else who loved her.

We ended up talking for hours about Canadian film and art. He was an encyclopedia when it came to these things.

1/7 The fact that masks have not been mandatory in indoor public spaces in Ontario for the past few months is a failure of leadership, @JohnTory This should have happened months ago. 2/7 Not only was there confused messaging about masks at the beginning, there was also offside public shaming from former city officials and others, towards people wearing masks who weren't either sick or healthcare workers.

1/ This is the worst movie I have ever seen. 2/ Unsurprising that this movie doesn’t work – the screenplay was a dog’s breakfast.
