Planting lettuces today and getting the ginger I sprouted into the greenhouse. Today’s lunch reminds me why I do this. Eggs from a neighbour in reciprocity for supper and broccoli and kraut all from her. The bread is my own but the flour is from our prairies.

Asparagus time!!

Such a lovely swirl of animated conversation and joy this weekend with visiting friends. One is a chef and made risotto with sidestripe prawns. Last night I made a chard ricotta lemon galete with a leavened crust.

Lest we be blind eyes retreating to our temporarily safe bubbles (“it’s those people not me”), check out Ezra Klein’s latest. The US is disappearing people to a Salvadoran prison built for disappearances. Trump wants to send “homegrown” Americans there next.

Amazing garden crossover time this year. Last of the carrots = 14l of carrot coco ginger soup, last of the apples making sauce and 2 more wks of “fresh”. And the garden this year!! Potatoes broccoli cabbage leeks chard and beets. ALL IN!

Thankfully I’m Canadian. We just need to worry about our neighbours. Americans turning on each other to continue the Civil War has been a worry of mine since I was a teenager.

They will certainly if Trump keeps firing those who support the Constitution.

I wish the military would wade in and protect their master — the Constitution.

The international network that ties Pierre Poilievre to Jordan Peterson Federal Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's "Canada First" approach might put him on a collision course with Trump in the short term – but the two have a "shared worldview that is going to lend its...

Share with friends in our riding who might be thinking of voting for the Conservatives. This lays out the clear links between them Jordan Peterson. There have also been lots of pieces about his party’s ties to Trump’s INNER CIRCL. Poilievre is a traitor. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/04/08/a...

Pretty well my favourite B movie of all time for its prescience. It’s from 2007 before smart phones made us dumb and Trump was elected. It’s all there folks! Watch America unravel and laugh while it happens. tv.apple.com/ca/movie/idi...

Beautifully said Tim.

I take back what I said. Liberals are leading in this riding and it warrants looking closely as 338 to see how this is going. I may vote Liberal.

We have a chance that climate change deniers will win our riding with Blue Green and Red TIED. Vote Green for climate. Voting Liberal likely risks a vote split. Vote Green and the worst thwt happens if they hold the blance of power! 🌎 338canada.com/bc.htm

Wow.

That you should get a perm!

Never thought I’d be celebrating the likely win of a neoliberal banker as PM but Carney is a banker who actually believes we need to get off fossil fuels. Please vote Liberal if you’re in a riding where Trumpian Conservatives cd win. 338canada.com/federal.htm

Why doesn’t foreign affairs have travel warnings about going to the US. The UK and Mexico are listed!!

Canada’s Liberals on course for political resurrection amid trade war, polls show Mark Carney-led ruling party projected to form majority months after political wipeout seemed inevitable

Spoke to a woman today on Salt Spring who’s reading (and believing) some pretty crazy rumour mill stuff sbout Carney — that he is not Canadian and is a plant. We need to be on guard for this bullshit in the hands of those who traffic in alternative facts. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Thanks Vicki!! It feels good to share the joy I feel with it. It’s also so satisfyingly seeing everything get done. Hope you’re doing well Vicki. ❤️

Our lives are richer with WWOOFers. Their energy and verve buoy us up and make our the land lives we’ve chosen here possible. ❤️

Oh Rufus. Such a poignant song for these painful times losing our friend in America to dementia and mania. ❤️‍🩹🥹

Thanks for your leadership in spite of provincial efforts to undermine the Greenbelt.

Russia is no longer a cyber security threat! I’m so glad!! Way to go Trump! And wolves don’t have teeth. Buy a generator folks. This is going south. The utility industry alone will be having fits about this.

Doug Ford wants you to forget the Canadian military was called to help LTC seniors who were in crisis during the pandemic. He wants us to forget what the military found. Over 4,500 SENIORS & 13 STAFF DIED, UNDER DOUG’S WATCH.
