www.wisecommunities.org/canada Loreena McKennitt, one of Canada’s cultural treasures has started this initiative - sign up, get a t shirt (profits support food bank in Stratford Ontario and United Way) and stand together.

Way to go Atlantic Canada. I would love to see a country wide provincial poll.

Staying home gives Ford his job.

Oh good. The rest of us are really really worried you won’t

Susan Holt 🇨🇦 - Did you know that MooseheadLager is the only major brewery in Canada owned by Canadians? 🇨🇦 We’re lucky to have their brewery right here in the heart of Saint John. #cdnpoli #nbpoli

Your good new story for the day. I just received a message from a landlord in Florida. He has lost over $30,000 in rentals since Canadians began the boycott. Canadians are doing their part. LET'S TAKE THE BOYCOTT INTERNATIONAL. We invite allied nations to boycott all things American.

Gladys Mae West (1930-now), a Black mathematician, made pivotal contributions to GPS technology through her precise satellite geodesy calculations. Her once-overlooked work is now foundational to GPS. She was inducted into the AF Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2018. #BlackHistory

A place to start to work towards Canadian solidarity in the face of unprecedented threats to our sovereignty from the United States government. actionnetwork.org/petitions/pl...

Happy 60 years to our Canadian Flad 🇨🇦💪

The Rideau Canal is such a gift for Canadians lucky enough to visit Ottawa and skate on it.

We’ll look who’s chummy with crummy #NeverPoilievre #VotePoilievreOut

Thank you for reminding us that Canada is “not broken”.

Golden Retriever Ruby celebrating Flag Day in the way she does best! Happy Flag Day Canada! True North, Strong and Free.

What a gem the CBC is! Telling our stories. All the time. Everywhere. Poilievre promises to kill the CBC within 100 days and (plausibly) sell-off the radio and TV assets to Musk / Murdoch-type oligarchs? Let's #SavetheCBC & Vote strategically to stop the Cons from winning the next election. #Canada

This is our Canada, our flag is a symbol of unity and peace. #OCanada #FlagDay #Canada #CanadaIsUnited #MapleLeaf 🍁Vive 🍁 le 🍁 Canada 🍁🇨🇦🍁

Pierre Poilievre backed Harper’s war on science—firing 2,000 scientists, slashing research, muzzling experts & gutting climate monitoring by 70%. Scientific output plummeted, media coverage dropped 80%, & Canada was globally shamed. Conservatism is ignorance. #cdnpoli www.votewell.ca

Canada and all provinces and territories should not trust or use Czarlink. Ford needs to immediately cancel his agreement with them.

Good news message for today - science is still being done by the European Space Agency! Their space telescope Euclid detected a rare Einstein ring. I encourage all to read the article and support The Guardian. I don’t know how science will get done in the U.S. going forward.

#BlackHistoryMonth #BlackSky #addtoblacksky racists like trump, claim black folks never invented, discovered, or studied anything. These racists lie to diminish our contributions to humanity. Make a bigot mad by Celebrating Black History 🙋🏿‍♀️🖤💚❤️✊🏿 www.scijournal.org/articles/fam...

‘We can’t count on the U.S. anymore’: Canada can pull away from America and thrive, economists say #Canada 🍁🇨🇦🍁 There are solid economic reasons for reducing trade with the States, experts say, now that huge tariffs could be imposed at any time. www.thestar.com/business/we-...

Thank you! We are worried.

Prime Minister Trudeau says Donald Trump’s threat to annex Canada “is a real thing.” The vast majority of Canadians say, “Fuck Trump!”

What small small minds these people must have…

Doggy found this on our walk today - oh joy - rolled in it and started to chew it. Fox skull? Any naturalists care to wade in?
