🇨🇦Happy to be Canadian

As a grandparent of two children who ride the school bus, I don't care what reason they give to increase school bus safety. Children are killed because other drivers don't stop. The new flashing orange lights before the red ones in Ontario have caused confusion so more knowledge might be helpful. :)

Or buy drapes. Which he seems to put more consideration into.

We might all need a day away ... I dreamt the other night that I was hired to do a photo shoot of Andrew M-W. to make him look prince-like. (I'm not a photographer). He couldn't do anything right and looked like a creepy goof in all the photos.

I'm not usually interested in watching millionaires play hockey, but that was satisfying.

It's a valiant attempt to appear relevant.

Just when Canadians are spending more dollars and time traveling their own country to discover our stories. Bad decision N.S. think what could have happened to improve rural and urban communities if they had increased funding.

Unfortunately Lawton is my MP and spewing his brand of sugar-coated hate and division here.

Let's just be grateful. He would only add hate to a horrible tragedy. Sending love to all those hurting and struggling. I can't imagine the depth of their sorrow.

The Charlie and Stephen Resistance Tour is forming up ...

I learned last week about Hay on Wye. I discovered it after stumbling onto a reel about Wigtown, Scotland. And then I wrote last week's email newsletter about book towns.
I believe I'm now in some heavenly algorithm so I'll see lots and lots about booktowns.

I think we have a Harrier cruising through the gully behind our house amidst every day, but I haven't been able to positively identify him.

Heck yea

WTF Doug? Get on a bike if want to keep that figure ... instead of just one slice of pizza.
Bike lanes are a safe route for many. I wish we had more in our rural areas.
Stop waiting or tax dollars on lawyers.

“To you this is murder?”

“Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.”

She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward.

Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

Sounds like it's the right thing to do. With our eyes wide open.

Do not go along to get along.

“So, we have to say, no. To confront this like Carney did … with his impressive speech, as a lesson for the whole world,”

Right now, in this moment of geopolitical volatility, we will stand on guard for our country by diversifying trade partnerships and bolstering national defence and security. The work is urgent and we will not retreat.

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis.

It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents.

This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

I hope people support birchbark books in the twin cities which is run by Ojibwe writer Louise Erdrich. birchbarkbooks.com

Hey Doug Ford.

When you're on Team Canada, you don't always get to be on the ice.

But when one of us scores, we all win.

Don't be a puck hog.

And people thought Carney wasn't a skilled politician... burn

We're good.

For anyone wanting to understand a bit more about the discord between rural and urban or for those with a narrow view of Albertans. A good listen for all Canadians especially those who would like a true voice rather than a party one. Great interview!

Also grateful we don't have alligators.

Three large handmade pierogies are topped with fried bacon and onion. They look delicious.

We always stop for lunch at Jelly Bakery in Shelburne, Ontario whenever we travel nearby.

I'm glad he was my teen idol.
RIP Bobby Sherman.

He forgot to add "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

Script on bottom of a pie box reads: If you are reading this, your pie is either gone or smooshed. Our condolences. Murphy's Farm Market and Bakery.

So lovely when the farmer's market baker has a sense of humor.
