Seven years ago, when we landed in 🇨🇦 as refugees, the people of Antigonish opened their arms and hearts to our family. Tomorrow at 1 pm, our new Peace by Chocolate store will have a ribbon cutting ceremony at the heart of Antigonish. That's the magic of Canada. #kindnessmatters

Once when I was young, around 8 or so, we had a garage sale. My siblings and I were killing time riding our bikes along the sidewalk and this guy stopped in. But he wasn't there to buy anything. He went up to my mom, introduced himself and said he'd stopped because he saw us...

The Gabriel Garcia Marquez Library just opened in a working class neighborhood in Barcelona. It’s magical. It’s real. And it’s the kind of place that makes you wonder why every city doesn’t give its residents palaces for the people. #library

As an Albertan, I grew up thinking that Liberals hated Alberta, I hated Ontario, and the horror that Ottawa had visited upon our beautiful province. I admired Preston Manning (The guy who created the party that would become the CPC). Then I met a Political Science Prof at MRU

The Mona Lisa is a great lesson on fame. Leonardo da Vinci began his masterpiece in 1503 but few people were talking about it for the next 400 years. Today, it's the most famous painting in the world. How did it happen? A major scandal in 1911. Here's the story🧵
