🐸 πŸ¦„Hot there, rainy and cold here. The frogs from this pond want to mention that there are thousands of Americans and American-Canadian duals in Canada who are eligible to vote but may not realize they have to register each time. Ribbit the vote!

It was pretty wet, pretty chilly, and pretty great to stand with the Frog(s) for Freedom! #notyrants #nomaplemaga

I wanted to learn more about this situation so I did what anyone else would do in 2025: I turned to AI. Here's what AI told me about Carter Hart and his former junior teammates.

Not to mention Librarian Carla Hayden and the harassment of your Federal Reserve governor, Lisa Cook. It seems like more than a coincidence that four of the officials targeted are Black women.

@gtconway.bsky.social Weird coincidence. He's also the stepson of Bunny Mellon, who designed The Rose Garden for Jackie Kennedy. And the same Bunny who supported John Edwards.

It's a great supplement! I'm sure your friends will appreciate the help. Protein shakes are good too, in a pinch. Most have about 20 g per serving (close to half of what most of us need daily).

Trudeau is the only prime minister in decades to successfully get a pipeline built in Canada.

Spinach & Avocado Green Goddess Pasta | Canadian Living Nutritional yeast is the secret ingredient in this dish. It's a good vegan source of protein and vitamin B with a rich cheese flavour reminiscent of Parmesan.

Pasta will be your best bet (most are vegan). I'm a veg head and can verify that it takes a lot of extra work and planning. This recipe from Canadian Living is fab, a total go-to. In fact, the mag often has lots of great vegetarian and vegan options.

That seems 'light.' Didn't Lich breach conditions once already?

There are five elementary schools within walking distance of Bank and Wellington. Was the convoy's impact on nearby school children considered? I suspect not.

A professional, modern military force is not supposed to function like a group of hitmen.
Just a thought. Although, possibly related to current events. Maybe.

Ha. We're still paying attention, very close attention.
Maybe a one-on-one between the CDS, General Jennie Carignan, and Sec. Hegseth is all that's needed to clear up all outstanding issues? I bet that's a good working relationship.

I recall very well the day that David Beers introduced The
Tyee and thinking, "this model is the future if journalism is to survive." He deserves much credit for his contributions to journalism and civil discourse.

We're paying close attention in Canada to this administration's willingness to commit war crimes justified by trump'd up accusations of drug trafficking and threats to US national security. Same arguments used to impose illegal tariffs while making annexation threats. What fresh hell is this?

Double Chocolate Zucchini Bread #recipe from Molly MacRae Β Zucchini is versatile and so is this recipe. You can make it as muffins, as one big loaf, or as two smaller loaves (adjusting the baking time accordingly). You can add nuts, substitute butter for all or some of the vegetable oil, leave out the cinnamon, or add other spicesβ€”cardamom comes to mind. It took a long time to bake but the day was cool and the smells coming from the oven were

Stop the Scapegoating of International Students - Alberta Views Without international students and their tuition dollars, some Alberta campuses will cut staff and offer fewer courses.

Magazine deadlines being what they are, I wrote this in June, before the Alberta Firsters began their vile campaign against immigrant of all sorts. This column hasn’t gone stale. Instead, it’s more urgent and necessary. What are we doing to ourselves?! #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli
