It’s almost spring. Have you started planning your garden yet? Does your yard lack gardening space? Have you thought about using a roof? Our clients in Calgary asked us for raised beds on top of their garage roof! The exposure and heat on the roof is excellent for tomatoes.

Gotta say, out of all the provincial newspapers I reviewed (including the big 4 in EDM & CGY), the Lethbridge Herald's coverage was the most balanced, speaking to the issues rather than parroting UCP presser talking points. BONUS: Both written by a local reporter. Nice!!

Yes, CO2 enhances photosynthesis. But crops don’t grow in a vacuum, they also need water, temperatures in a particular range, and farmers need predictable seasons. Climate change disrupts all of those. www.theclimatebrink.com/p/is-co2-pla...

If Trudeau had committed to this nine years ago, it would probably be close to being in operation now, not just beginning a five-year development process. Interesting to see the private consortium includes SNCF and Air Canada, along with CDPQ Infra.

Today's video is taking a bit longer than normal. I got on a roll. But you're gonna like it. Although I'm having trouble with a snappy title. It's about how folks blame everything on wokeness and DEI. I'm between "It's All Wokeness' Fault" or "Because of Woke". But I'm open to suggestions.
