What a great night at the Pumpkin Promenade in Acton. Over 700 pumpkins. Special thanks to Sarah Brophy, the Mexican Way and 70 Below for making this a fantastic family event . @_HaltonHills

Such true words spoken by Martha Gellhorn. After yesterday’s poor voter turnout in most of Ontario Municipalities in yesterday’s elections. #munipoli

I loved serving as his US Ambassador to Canada. 🇨🇦
Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

Our beautiful Lousha crossed the Rainbow Bridge. 3 weeks short of 13. Happened so quickly. Last Wednesday walking around the Kawarthas today she is gone. We are devastated and 💔 . We will always miss you our Boo Princess.

83 to go. The Canadiens open their season with a mature effort. It wasn’t spectacular but it was an intelligent road game. The win in Toronto in the season opener of the Call Of The Wilde for Global Montreal globalnews.ca/news/12076632/…

Caledon, Ontario: These two stole all the bags of firewood available for sale roadside for the second time in less than a month. They have enough money for a +$100k Denali pickup but would rather steal than pay people for their hard work. Make them famous, these people are turning Canada into a low trust society.

The hustle and bustle of Marrakech in Morocco. You can find anything in the huge square. Lots of bikes drive through the narrow souks. Cobra charmers.

Mr Ambassador when doing media about 911 don’t chastise Canadians when 24 🇨🇦 died on that day, we took in 7,000 stranded Americans in Gander, 40,000 of our military served in your war in Afghanistan where 158 died as well as a diplomat, journalist and 2 aid workers. Shame on you.
Hoekstra: It's time to take the tenor down. There have been things that have been said by Canadian politicians that, at least I've heard, they regret that they've ever said them. Reporter: Would you say that same thing to the president? Hoekstra: We're here to talk about 9/11
