The woman CBC spoke to said if she were to disclose the abuse, she fears being labelled 'high conflict' in court... full story via Joelle Seal cbc.ca/news/canada/sa… #skpoli #cdnpoli #sask #DomesticAbuse

My first CD was Big Shiny Tunes No. 4 — Praise You by Fatboy Slim is still a go-to happy tune for me — I paid $25 for it & thought I was getting the most bang for my buck. I was in Gr. 5. Had no idea K-tel invented the compilation album! #90skid @taroncochrane Blue Sky #sask

It was very difficult for Angela and Clayton to share their story — but Angela said, “At this point, we have nothing to lose.” 1/2 cbc.ca/newsinteractiv…

Love today’s Blue Sky with TweeterMillsCBC — I think if you’re a 90s kid like me, you just instinctually love bad movies. Gremlins, the numerous Ernest flicks, Spice World, Wild Wild West, The Flinstones, Flubber, Superstar… need I go on? loved them all.

Bats. Terrified of them. A HUGE one flew over my husband and I in an open air cafe in Bali… pooped in his smoothie and on his shirt during the fly by. Q: is it true you can get rabies from a bat that hits you with its teeth while flying? TweeterMillsCBC Blue Sky

Then Air Canada said the only flight home was one week later. Today. Today, #aircanada cancelled our last leg of the flight home. The options they proposed were waiting days more in #nce — missing more work/school — other packing up our child and two babies and waiting in Vienna

…or waiting days in Toronto, with no guarantee of any coverage for hotels, meals, basic necessities of life (I repeat, I am travelling with two infants). Anyone at Air Canada care? We chose the final option. We’re about to leave with no plan to get home. #aircanada #cdnpoli

To make matters worse Air France customer service was truly dégoûtant — I experienced three employees, all men, laughing at me when I pleaded to be allowed to bring my double stroller with me… a practice literally every other airline I have flown with ever has allowed #airtravel

Then Air France employee “helping” us became abrasive/confused/unsure of policies & sent all our bags to Paris where we have to get bags, go through security, recheck bags Oh, and we paid 85€ per bag… & we might have to pay Air Canada AGAIN in Paris All because of #aircanada

I repeat, I am delayed by Air Canada for more than a week in France. No plan to get home. Terrible treatment by Air France — travelling with two babies, one child. What a terrible time to fly. #airtravel #cdnpoli #airfrance #aircanada

Travelling with babies is hard (pics of us delayed in #nce now for reference). We do it because we love our EU grandparents/family. But, the appalling lack of care from @aircanada thus far is NOT OK. This should not just be “how it is.” Do better, please. #aircanada #cdnpoli

Well, after countless exchanges with Air Canada the airline’s solution was to hang up on me. I was calm and asked for a solution. So the #aircanada “plan” is to send us to Toronto with a connecting flight home 3 days away (Tues) & no compensation. Just appalling and terrible.

Hello Royal Ontario Museum — here’s my 11-year-old son, Bruce’s, #romwypjr submission. A photo of a fish fossil. It filled him with wonder “how is that possible?!” and when I asked why he liked it: “it’s more a feeling than the science.” #wonder #to

Hi again Royal Ontario Museum — here’s my #romwpyON submission. A portrait I took a few weeks ago during a family holiday in North Africa. This woman was selling lemons at the grand market in Sousse, Tunisia. I asked to take her photo and she beamed. The lemons were sweet and tart. 1/2

Part of a photography exercise with my son; the art of interacting with your subjects. My trick, get close and never use zoom unless there’s a risk of being eaten/destroyed. Thanks for the idea to submit, hope we’re not too late. 2/2 Royal Ontario Museum #romwpyon #to #fingerscrossed
