Visited an evacuation centre on Beardy’s & Okemasis First Nation. The centre is run by the Rezcross. Great to see so many people pitching in to help those affected by wild fires. The centre desperately needs: air mattresses, camp chairs, bedding, and non-perishable food. Saskatchewan Strong

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Expert, author @johnvaillant.bsky.social says Canada could be set to repeat its record-setting wildfire season from 2023. Area that #wildfires have burned so far this year matches rate at which fires spread in 2023, he said. Numbers on graphic as of Sunday. www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Love when cedar waxwings hang around. 😍

There have been 254 wildfires in Saskatchewan so far this year, well above the five-year average of 143. #SKwx #SaskatchewanFire www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

The study suggests that bursting red blood cells, not blood clots, are the culprits.

Six infants in Ontario have been born with congenital measles since last fall. They were infected in the womb through mothers who were not vaccinated. This is heartbreaking, preventable and a result of the spread of anti-vax disinformation.

Looking forward to speaking out for climate action during the G7 summit. Event on June 16th at noon.

Greta Thunberg. Clear as ever. www.democracynow.org/2025/6/4/gre...

Youngest painted a cat. It’s lovely

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

In Trump's first reign General Mark Milley stopped him from using combat troops against the American people. Milley was deeply worried about Trump's fascist tendencies. Now there are no more checks and balances. Be careful my American friends.

I’d try it 🤣

More of the usual bullshit gaslighting from the MAGA ambassador. Canada issued a travel warning about having phones seized by US customs because it is a real threat. He claims Americans face threats in Canada as well. The difference is we have the rule of law. They have ICE gangs kidnapping people.

Summer McIntosh is warming down after the fastest 400m freestyle swim ever. And then I’ll get a chance to talk to her about this latest world record. I’ve been there for every single one of them. And I’m still stunned here at the pool. 3:54.18 is astounding.

“Canadian Summer McIntosh broke the women's 400-metre freesyle Saturday night, touching the walk in three minutes 54.18 seconds at the national swimming trials in Victoria.” www.cbc.ca/sports/olymp...

President #Lula wants to auction off the mouth of the #AmazonRiver for oil drilling, where no one could contain a spill. Millions of people and countless species are on the line. Let’s stop the poison before it spreads 🤮 secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

This is one of my favourite things. I sometimes watch videos of it.

“the small particles or gas in the smoke can get really deep into your lungs and cause inflammation," Yao said. That can increase the risk of respiratory infections, like pneumonia.” www.cbc.ca/news/wildfir...

If Indigenous peoples are effectively unable to ever say no to resource extraction, then what we're really dealing with here is a settler veto #bcpoli #onpoli #cdnpoli #mbpoli #skpoli

Two babies have died from whooping cough in Kentucky. Neither they nor their parents had been vaccinated. The current whooping cough outbreak in the U.S. hasn’t grabbed the media spotlight as much as measles has, but it’s important to update your vaccination if you’re going to be around babies.

Sunrise, just minutes before a thunder storm started. #BlueSkyArtShow #Vibrant #Photography #EastCoastKin

Sunrise before a storm

I’ve been working on an automatic bobcat watering station that will work when I’m away. I was a bit worried about the hose being scary but apparently it meets with approval.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

“But what we see here in the preserved areas – that as far as we can tell, are free of even these destructive insecticides and pesticides – even here, the insect numbers are going down horrifyingly dramatically,” she says.

Wildfires continue to ravage parts of the Prairies, creating dire situations for some communities. However, some good news is on the way this weekend. #SKwx #MBwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...

Severe storm threat in southern Manitoba. Straight-line winds will be the main threat as storms merge along the front (Up to 90 km/h). Large hail and heavy rain also be risks. Storm timing for Winnipeg will be from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. local time. #mbstorm #MBwx www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weat...
