I am in utter shock. Was there ever a more charismatic and multi talented dancer that Twitch?! HE was one of the main reasons I continued watching Ellen even after the " bloom was off the rose " for me. I became bothered at how much Ellen enjoyed watching other guests and audience members become terrified at being pranked and scared. His union with his wife and kids seemed very genuine and one that would last forever. I am so sorry for her and those 3 beautiful babies. R.I.P. sweet man.

David Onley, the 28th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, has passed away at the age 72.
“It is with great sadness that I have learned of the death of the Honourable David C. Onley,” Lieutenant Governor Elizabeth Dowdeswell said in a statement Saturday night.

“Mr. Onley served our province with distinction as the 28th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. He was a valued friend and colleague, and I was always grateful to receive his counsel, particularly in the summer of 2014 following my appointment as Lieutenant Governor.”
Spending more than two decades at Citytv, Onley joined first as a weather specialist in 1984 before becoming the first morning anchor of Breakfast Television in 1989.
He later became Citytv’s education specialist and then science and technology specialist.
A survivor of childhood polio, he was also the first newscaster in Canada with a visible disability.
He was named to the Order of Canada in 2017.
Onley leaves behind his wife Ruth Ann and three children, Jonathan, Robert, and Michael.

@heartgirl99 I never heard about his passing, that makes me sad ( again ) . I always enjoyed his segments on City tv.

This post is personal ( in a way ) because of how much sheer admiration I had for this incredible Mayor of Mississauga. She past away at the spry age of 101 years old on Jan 29th 2023.
Her birthday was February 14th, 1921....a Valentine indeed!

I've never lived in Mississauga but I always followed the news stories that featured Hazel McCallion. It was through many of these headlines that I learned that she was first elected as Mayor in 1978 and left office in 2014 ( 36 years if you're counting ). I began my career as a letter carrier in 1978 and retired in Jan of 2014 ( same , 36 years ) . She past away a day before my b'day and that broke my heart in two.

RIP you Champion of a lady!
