Trump is such a crass tackless little man. Such disrespect for Canada 🇨🇦. He should know better than to shit on your host but obviously not. 🌮

Pictures from my walk today.

Today's Heritage Minute is about John Humphrey, A Montréal based lawyer from Hampton, New Brunswick, drafts and wins support for the United Nations' Declaration of Human Rights (1947). youtu.be/iUN8-8BUHXk?...

Today's Heritage Minutes is about explorer Jean Nicollet. He searches for the Pacific Ocean, but instead adds Lake Michigan to European maps (1634). youtu.be/RULedv5LDuA?...

Today's Heritage Minute is about Superman! Toronto cartoonist Joe Shuster describes the comic book hero he created (1931). youtu.be/ScFwRoLhR2s?...

Watching all the outfits at the Oilers game and I love it. Such a far cry from when you had to wear a suit and tie to the game.

Watching the hockey game with my dad. He's sure getting a workout helping the Oilers finish their checks. He's also chirping like he was on the ice. 🤣 #GoOilers

Reminder if you are going to do the popular hikes (really walks) in Canada's National Parks, please wear proper footwear. Yesterday, the number of people in flip flops, high heeled sandals, dress shoes, etc. was a bit nutty. At least wear runners so you're not slipping and sliding on the trails.

Some pix from #KootenayNationalPark It was such a great day!!

Please tell me someone/some people has/have ordered tacos for all of the West Wing and to all the republicans in congress.

Today's Heritage Minute is about Paul-Émile Borduas, Québec's voice of the Quiet Revolution. He reflects on the impact of his writing and art in his Paris studio (1957). youtu.be/OmYPMTLjAYc?...

Thoughts on tonight's hockey game. The Canes are toast. I see a broom in their future. They just are not tough enough and are getting bullied everywhere on the ice. How do you let Tkachuk stay in the net and harass your goalie and not do anything?

FYI

Today's Heritage Minute is about Sergeant Major Osborn of Winnipeg. He protected his company by throwing himself on a live grenade during the Battle of Hong Kong (1941). Canada's involvement in WWII against Japan isn't talked about as much as its involvement in Europe. youtu.be/mPLyGYhbedE?...

Today's Heritage Minute is about Sir Sandford Fleming, an engineer who planned three railways and played a pivotal role in the creation of Standard Time (1885). youtu.be/xiTgrhEqw5A?...

Today's Heritage Minute is about Joseph-Armand Bombardier. A boyhood fascination with tinkering evolves into a career as innovator (snowmobile and Ski-Doo) and entrepreneur (1920). youtu.be/C3V2qSPFXuE?...

Is there an efficient way to distinguish the country of Georgia from the state on here? I'm looking for posts on the country and all I'm getting is the state. Thanks!
