  10. I fell down the YT rabbit hole and ended up at the story of Terry Fox. For those who don't know, Terry had a leg amputated in 1980, and then set about a run across Canada (not the short way either), to raise money for cancer research. Unfortunately, he didn't make it, and died after reaching Thunder Bay. However, his dream lives on in multiple Terry Fox runs around the world generating millions to combat cancer. It's a story that still chokes me up now. Here's the link for his story, also check out Steve Fonyo, and Rick Hansen, more Canadian heroes doing insane things for great causes.

    ‘I was standing here 45 years ago!”

    wow.

    It really is incredible the legacy Terry Fox has in all Canadian's hearts. Congratulations to his brother Darrell for completing this 45 year commemorative bike across Canada!!

  12. Not related, but both from my home province of BC.

    Two young men with the last name Fox went to high school 24kms apart just outside of Vancouver, BC in the mid 1970s. Both young men would inspire the world and combine to fundraise over $3billion for Cancer and Parkinson’s research. Two amazing Canadians, Terry Fox and Michael J Fox.

  13. I remember this run with such admiration. I'm not sure anyone has inspired us more as Canadians. 45 years ago today! #terryfox

  14. On this day 40 years ago Terry Fox, a 21 year old Canadian who lost a leg to cancer, began an east to west cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. He ran the equivalent of a full marathon every day for 143 days before having to stop.

  15. I don't need every candidate all across this country to BE #terryfox, but holy fuck, I sure judge you when you exhibit nonnnnnnne of his qualities.

    Yeah, I'm talking to you, pretty much every #elxn45 candidate.

    Got some Rosemary Brown in you? Viola Desmond? Mr. Dressup? Rita Joe? Stewart Phillip?

    It's like...you're not even trying?

    This was one of the saddest days of my teenage life. The whole country was weeping. Again, when he died.

    Just put my order in for this year's TFox gear.

    What do real leaders look like to you?

    #CoryBookerFilibuster happened, then he voted to continue supporting the #zionist #genocide of #Palestine. Nope, not there.

    Who are the young men real role models?

    As young men radicalize and get validation from #broligarchs as #dudebros, we need to validate them as people with empathy and human richness. And NOT in competition with women and others they're told are enemies.

    #TerryFox is an excellent role model, compared to #andrewtate, #joerogan and #BigHands.

    Who are the young men in your lives who are radicalizing against others?

  22. "Gretzky knows of Trump's intent to annex his home country but continues to support him. If you feel as betrayed as I do, please consider signing this petition to change the name of #WayneGretzky Drive to something else. What new name? #TerryFox Drive or Joey Moss Drive were great suggestions I've heard, but there can be another #petition to decide the name. The point of this petition is to catch #YEGCityCouncil's attention on how important this is to #Edmontonians."

  27. In a Canada that’s divided in many ways, something that I suspect is as close to universally supported as you can get. And it’s about damn time. #TerryFox #Hero

  28. The Terry Fox Memorial overlooks the highway and the water and everyone who passes by. It's majestic, a fitting tribute to the dauntlessness of the greatest Canadian.
