Yesterday I shared some memories about Brian Mulroney and how his strong character and compassion for others is an important part of his legacy that serves as a lesson to leaders today.

The Press is reporting that HMS Vengeance has just returned from a 201 day nuclear deterrent patrol. If he didn’t meet them on their arrival, I hope the Prime Minister has written to all members of the crew, thanking them and their families for this extraordinary achievement.

Hot on the heels of #COP15, check out our BioMob initiative. We digitized millions of plant, insect, fungus and microbe specimens in our biological collections to make data more accessible. Find out what this means for #biodiversity and the agriculture sector: http://ow.ly/Z1sC50Mc673

Did you know that almost half of Canada’s food supply goes to waste? Our researcher Leanne Wilson showed how one small step can lead to many by piloting a project with Food Banks Canada | Banques alimentaires Canada to distribute surplus crops from our research centres: http://ow.ly/chvO50Jqq8h

"Wednesday afternoon I was driving west on I-40 when my blood sugar dropped to a dangerous level. Luckily a Burger King restaurant was at the upcoming exit. As I stumbled through placing my order I mentioned to the voice on the speaker that I was diabetic and in need of food. Low blood sugar makes it difficult to think or act. I pulled up to the first window in order to pay for my food. I was shocked to see Burger King employee Tina Hardy running toward the front of my car. She squeezed between the front of my car and the building just to bring me a small serving of ice cream. Tina later explained that her husband was also diabetic and she could tell that I needed help. After paying I pulled up to Tina’s window where she gave me my food. She instructed me to park across the driveway so that she could keep an eye on me until I felt better. After eating I waited for a break in business so that I could return to Tina’s window. I then took this picture and spoke with Tina’s supervisor, telling him what she did for me. If you appreciate what this special woman did please share this story. Hopefully Tina Hardy will receive the recognition that she truly deserves from the public and from the big bosses at Burger King." Credit : Rebecca Boening Send Stories To: JosephBonner.com
