I was doing volunteer work with Greenpeace when she went to the ice flow with a team to ´save’ baby seals. It was an incredible move at the time for a famous actress to lent their name to such a campaign.

on social media after a month travelling and couple of weeks welcoming my first grandchild. Nothing like having a grandchild to question the madness of what is happening in many places in the world. His parents and I talked about the need for hope that this new arrival will live in a kind world.

Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' is a huge, ugly disaster The Trump administration, like barbarians and terrorists, is capable of destroying but not building, says Jesuit Fr. Thomas Reese.

Alberta government decries 'baseless, politically motivated' affordable housing report | CBC News The Alberta government says it's rejecting the findings of a "baseless, politically motivated" report that gave the province a failing grade on addressing affordable housing.

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

You mean the province that's defunded big chunks of it's housing support to help their friends in municipal elections isn't scoring super high on affordable housing? Shocked.

Oh no, I do hope that Pitt the deputy speaker will not be the new speaker - she is on the far right of UCP. Wonder what prompted Cooper to leave the job of Speaker and his secure MLA seat.....there must be a story behind this.

A good way to de-stress from political news in the US and Canada is to garden....nothing like seeing your rhubarb grow and trees start to form blossom to quieten the soul.

I am a believer in Richard Rohr urging us towards both contemplation and action. Some days contemplation is an imperative.
