Because the purpose of tariffs was never about the Canada-US border, but about destroying the Canadian economy so Trump could try and annex it.

I once met with our Prime Minister in the Prime Minister's office and nobody chastised me for not wearing a suit or a tie. No one said it was "disrespectful". You know what IS disrespectful...? Calling another country's Prime Minister "Governor".

Another UCP MLA comes out against their government. This time it’s Lesser Slave Lake MLA Scott Sinclair, who calls the budget “at best, disappointing and, at worst, unacceptable for Albertans.” Cracks continue to spread in Danielle Smith’s already very shaky foundation. Keep. The. Pressure. On.

I once met the leader of our country. I was wearing just an ordinary t-shirt, and he didn't care whether I was dressed up in a suit or not.

We are in a lull between when the cold killed off the fruiting bodies and the new fungi coming up. However, there are still things to find. Yesterday, I found this Cryptoporus. I’ve posted about these before, scroll down to read about them. #fungifriends #fungi #mycology #naturephotography

Sheltered, sunny ditch banks are now sprinkled with cheerful Lesser Celandines. Most flowers are deep chrome-yellow, but this week I spotted this pale butter-yellow form - I've seen this same variation among large populations of other buttercup species. #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Imagine one of your employees accused another of funneling half a billion of your dollars to their friends. Imagine the accused told you not to worry. They're looking into it for you. That's where we are in Alberta. The premier and her staff are telling taxpayers to let them handle it.

On the streets of Brussels I encountered numerous little plaques in front of doorways. They commemorate the Jewish families who were taken from their homes and murdered by Nazis. Never forget no matter how many lies Elon Musk tells.

I'm going to pour another mug of tea, so here's another #painting to have a goo at. "Derryreel 2" is from up near the north coast of Donegal. A scene by Muckish mountain where I would walk for miles with my little dog never seeing a car and wondering why we were so lucky. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear

“On the streets of Paris, thousands of trees are being planted, the city’s distinctive grey zinc rooftops are getting a makeover and workers are installing drinking fountains that release a cooling mist. The changes are part of the French capital’s fight against heatwaves.” Via @financialtimes.com

I took a walk today despite the -36C windchill. The resilience of chickadees during winter always astounds me. I know many don’t make it through the winter but many do and I am hanging on to that in this time of fear and uncertainty.

I made a list of Canadian owned food brands that are readily available at grocery stores. I know there are other lists and websites out there, but some have inaccuracies or include American brands that are processed in 🇨🇦, and I wanted to really dig into Canadian-owned brands. So, here's a thread!
