I believe it’s referring to the US Men’s Skating phenom, Ilia Malinin, skating to music with his own voice reciting…poetry, maybe?
Not sure about the whole voiceover thing, but his skating is breathtaking…

#Canada is not perfect, and there will always be need to improve, but when I watch the coverage on the news of our Greenland Consulate, I see efforts to be kind, respectful, inclusive, and cooperative, and I know now more than ever that we CANNOT take this for granted. Ever.

Proud to be #Canadian

Don’t hate me, but I think he came to my attention while watching Descendants with my daughter. He was really good in it!

They waited too long to make the call to close schools when Winnipeg had similar conditions a few weeks back, and it was quite chaotic - for parents AND staff.

The current regime down south has managed to get the NRA mad at them - quite a feat.

And finally, news outlets like CNN can no longer sit on the fence quite as much as they have been - the headlines are slowly moving towards the truth.

Now, the entire US has to protest with #Minneapolis.

Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old man killed by federal immigration agents Saturday, worked as a nurse treating sick veterans, according to family, friends and colleagues – a reflection of his deep desire to help others, they said. https://cnn.it/4bcuwlz

I don’t believe the national guard are backing ICE. Walz has asked them to be there, to stand between Minnesotans and ICE. The police can’t do it alone - and I don’t mean ICE.
ICE are not police, are not national guard. They aren’t trained, and the police do not consider them β€˜their own’.

Alexi Pretti was a loved and respected nurse helping critically ill veterans.
He was beaten and murdered on the streets of Minneapolis by paramilitaries in the employ of Donald Trump.
This is not a nation that can be trusted at any level.

Aynsley’s my sis-in-law. How awful in Winnipeg in the winter to lose reliable heat, and a small business owner to boot.

This makes me so incredibly sad and upset. I’ve been to Minneapolis so often - it used to be a yearly trip for us.
I’m so, so sorry this is happening to them. I’m scared for them, for us, for everyone…

My day exactly - except replace Barry Manilow with Novillero.

Novillero’s album, Aim Right For The Holes In Their Lives, came to me in the middle of my sleepless night
- hadn’t listened to this local band in a while!
