I know we're supposed to be waving Canadian flags today, but it's winter here; in SWON there's a snowstorm, and many of us, if we can be, are tucked inside keeping warm looking out at the snow and listening to tunes. So here is a flagging of musical Canada www.cbc.ca/music/read/t...

ONT's conservation authorities' history is rooted in local collective efforts to tackle environmental problems. SW Ont. figured prominently in pioneering this form of local enviro governance in Canada. Today, they could help tackle #climatechange but need more autonomy & $ to do so, not less.
