But Ken, I can’t like that photo either, even though I appreciate the share. No snow in March in the lower mainland, that’s the rule!

The picture shows a lone canoeist on a canal that cuts through the colorful tulip fields of the Bollenstreek region in the Netherlands. This particular shot emphasizes the clean, organized lines and vibrant patterns of the Dutch flower fields during the blooming season.

screenshot of press release from four nations with their logos: Tla’amin Nation; Homalco Nation; K'ómoks Nation; Klahoose Nation.  March 11, 2026
Chiefs from four First Nations communities are urging the public to please approach Aaron Gunn with no caution whatsoever. He is completely harmless, though momentarily unsettled by the alarming possibility that someone might acknowledge the land before a meeting.
Yesterday on social media, the MP appeared to crash out and demand to speak to the manager of land acknowledgements, a position that observers confirm does not exist.
Chiefs whose territories make up the riding had two words for the MP - Chillax, Bud. 
Land acknowledgements have never seized private property, cancelled a mortgage, repossessed a pickup truck, or altered a single title deed anywhere in Canada.
They are simply people recognizing the history of the place where they are standing.
No one is going anywhere. Canada will survive the brief moment of honesty.
Until then, Chiefs across the region continue to reassure the public that land acknowledgements have not, to date, resulted in any land back.

Chief Darren Blaney, Homalco Nation
Chief Nicole Rempel, K'ómoks Nation
Chief Kevin Peacey, Klahoose Nation

if we’re fomenting rage against First Nations because people are being given two years notice to vacate their expiring leaseholds on reserve land then we’ve kind of lost the plot

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

It's amazing people will claim "Canada and the USA have the same culture" and then on something as fundamental as "do you trust your fellow citizens to be good" we are further apart than any other two countries

The supposed explosion of the federal public service looks less explosive if you put it in per capita numbers and draw a line graph back to the mid-80s.

"So much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident."

More than 80% of people consistently cited their preference for permanent daylight savings in polls, there’s a realm of data that says it supports better outcomes, and it’s very fun when a government can say “we control how time works”.

About a slam dunk win as you can get these days.

Black-and-white portrait of Emily Carr, shown from the chest up, facing slightly to the left. She is wearing a dark hat with a textured band and a cape or coat fastened at the front with visible buttons. A high-collared garment is visible underneath. Her hair is tucked under the hat, and her face is softly lit against a plain studio background. The photograph shows scratches and wear consistent with an old print.

On this day in 1945, Emily Carr died.
One of Canada's greatest painters, recognition for her work came late in life but today she is celebrated as a national icon.
