What if protests became "a silence too loud to ignore."? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eXq... Could there be another way to "stand up / speak out" against the growing rise of fascism? What if people simply stood up at school board meetings, municipal town hall gatherings, city planning meetings etc.?

A photo of some lovely cherry trees lining a downtown street in Duncan, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia & clouds in the bg, gently ambling across the blue sky. Simple, nothing-earth-shattering message. The days are difficult & seemingly getting more difficult, so let's remember to breathe.

Dear DJT, please take Economics 101 again (if you ever took it. A trade deficit is not a subsidy. The US is not subsicizing Canada. Look at this recording by Elizabeth May and learn, mark and inwardly digest. You are (once again) speaking gibberish. www.facebook.com/reel/6880593...

We heard anecdotally that Canadians weren’t visiting the states, now we have the data. A massive, shocking drop.

Canadian politics is now officially a kids' show. Mark Carney is the Friendly Giant in a blazer. Poilievre is Rusty the Rooster with a grudge. Singh is Jerome the Giraffe—earnest, sidelined. It’d be funny if it weren’t the actual election. youtu.be/U8TQuFYkW9k Another great vlog, Tod!

Zentangle® with my non-dominant hand was difficult, very! It was slow & tiring too, but at least I was tangling. Then doc/physio put a stop to even that. Now waiting for green light to tangle with non-dominant hand again. Have you tried it? If not, do. It's a great brain-challenge. :-) #zentangle

And this is how it's being done ... www.facebook.com/reel/6369912... Question is posed - again - and again. Each time, silence is the response, then words, but no answer. If this Bill passes ... all congressional power is granted to DJT and his minions. It must not pass.

Thinking of the 3 little pigs when the wolf came by their houses. He huffed and he puffed, but the pigs didn't let him in - "Not by the hair of chinny chin chin!" Canada, Panama, Greenland. We are together against the wolf who wants to get in, but ... "not by the hair of our chinny chin chin!"
