Canada, we can do this! Spread the word.

Marco D'Amico - I stand corrected. This is the loudest Canadian anthem I have ever heard live. Wow. #cdnpoli #onpoli #peipoli

A non-traditional Valentines bouquet from my DH. 🥰 These latte roses are gorgeous.💖

🇨🇦 needs Europe. Feeling extremely vulnerable.

The activity coming from the Trump administration is consistent with a regime shift away from democracy and toward authoritarianism. It’s important to use this label so people begin to appreciate the gravity and consequences of what’s happening. 1/3 🧵

BTW, my dad had polio when he was just a young boy. He was damaged by it.Polio is a real thing. I stood in the line up in 1963, grade 3, to receive my sugar cube with the polio vaccine in it. I’ve also seen the Iron Lung in action and cared for patients with polio.

I almost NEVER agree Kinsella or things in the Toronto Sun BUT I do agree with this column. NO CANADIAN SHOULD PRETEND TUMPS THREATS ARE NOT REAL. WE NEED TO STAND FIRM AND PROTECT OUR COUNTY. THERE WILL BE PAIN IN DOING THIS BUT WE NEED TO RESIST AND PUSH BACK HARD. torontosun.com/opinion/colu...

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

It appears the whole world could use a whole lotta love.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

The Quebec Winter Carnival is currently running! Founded over 125 years ago, it became an annual event in the 1950s and is a defining part of the winter culture of Canada. Not to mention it has Bonhomme! Let's learn more about this famous festival! 🧵1/15

Sunday morning cartoons in Canada.

You all realize this is happening because the FELON is destabilizing North America ON PURPOSE because he is working with foreign ‘interests’ This isn't just a trade spat. North America changed today /1 www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

Ahhhh, sweet memories of summer, painting with the fabulous Sheila Thomas under the Linden tree that Emily Carr painted under!

Well this is quite an opener

My latest work now showing in the Introspection Art Show at the Sooke Arts Council Gallery in Sooke, BC on Vancouver Island. #sacgallery #sookebc #introspectionartshow

Feeling the collective anticipation building up.

Well Canada… now what?

Putting the finishing touches on a painting I’m entering into the Introspection Art Show at the SAC.👩‍🎨 #sookeartscouncil #artshow #sooke #artistscommunity #introspectionartshow

A quiet Christmas. Just the way we like it. Complete with homemade Tortiere (family recipe). Grateful.

Every Canadian right now.. 🇨🇦

What’s one thing your dad taught you ? I’ll go first “The best thing you can do is get good at being you “

It was never yours to begin with...

For everyone. Create. Create something! Feed your soul!!🥰

Light amidst the social chaos. Peace and calm.

A reminder.

As I sit here sipping my coffee this cold and damp November morning, I’m reflecting on an en Plein air painting I did in September at Whiffin Spit. It started out abstract and morphed into something else.

It’s a cyclone bomb up here on Vancouver Island. Projected is 933db. Our marine barometer is showing the low pressure system so far.

Thanks to all of you followers! Getting established over here will take time. It’s raining here today. Taking a much needed rest day. Pic below is from Whiffin Spit in Sooke, BC in September.

Hi! It’s me! Thankful to join this place of sanity!
