Winter is in the air… fresh first snow!

Autumn’s colours are fading and winter is drawing near…

First jog up Haeckel this season. First snow of the season too in Whitehorse Yukon!

My favourite place in the world!

Just came across your beautiful art by chance. Searched “Kluane” and up you came. Glad I stumbled upon you. Thanks for the beautiful works you do.

Beautiful world, beautiful Kluane. The world moves along at its own pace as we people move along at ours - though we are not separate, at times it feels so much so. We are being drawn into the mire by speed - quicksand. The solution, stop… sit still. Maybe that’s the radical act needed right now.

St. Elias ice fields, Kluane National Park Canada.

Flight into Mt. Logan, Canada’s Tallest peak located in Kluane National Park, Yukon. Too many beautiful pics to share of the various parts of the ice field and all the peaks around Mt.Logan.

Beautiful Kluane Park, Yukon Canada.

Beautiful Three Guardsmen hike - Tatshenshini Provincial Park BC.

Canada strong and free. Elbows up and keep Americans at bay from thinking they can take a piece of this beauty!! Caribou Mountain hike near Carcross Yukon. Beautiful!

I love porcupines. They understandably run away when I’m near them, but the lovely one in the photo stuck around. We allowed ourselves to be in each other’s company exchanging our mutual curiosity. Other pics are of Kathleen Lake, Dezadeash Lake, and King’s Thrown.

Just searched Bruce Cockburn to see what kindred spirits are out there listening to him. Honestly he is one gem of an artist.His most under appreciated song is “Loner”, hits my core every time - not sure what that explains about me.”If a Tree Falls” is on my running playlist-encourages me to action!

Biking on the Haines Pass. A wee bit chilly, but some nice views still and snow!

Good ol’ Mundare sausage. Good stuff!! Too bad you didn’t go through St. Paul and checked out the Alien landing pad.

Totally get it… the pace of this world is moving too quick for me!!

Yeah, Trudeau, the guy who was our Prime Minister a few months ago when this reply was made!

Just finished your book as well earlier this week.Quite prescient - indeed, this lunacy only affirms a civil war on the horizon. The MAGA followers I’m sure have an immense tolerance for pain and wonder the intensity and the type of push back against the growing tide of anti-trump protests.

This is my favorite time at the cabin - quiet, snow still remains, the days getting longer and warmer... heaven!

St.Elias trail in Kluane was perfect for a quick hike/jog on the snowshoes. No sign of any bears waking up yet! Canadian National Parks are one of the many the jewels of Canada 🇨🇦.

I’m a long time NDPer and have opted for Liberals this round. Though, respect to Mr. Singh on his take on this. His clear statement should be commended.

I’m hoping Danielle continues to overplay her cards, like she has here, and Albertans finally wake up to the turncoat that she is.

Thanks Danielle for your honesty….you and Pierre Poilievre are “in sync with the new direction in America”. Hence Canadians need not vote for you treasonous Conservatives.

Insane… do tell what part of the new American fascist regime are you excited for Pierre and Danielle?

I should also not be so dismissive about the rest of your guests - they are all upstanding people! Just a bit of a fanboy for Chantelle and Janice.

Awesome! Love I found your podcast these last few weeks. Can never get enough of Chantelle and Janice Stein! And… of course you Peter!!

Despite arthritis and a virus… you still sound good Bruce! Keep on rollin’!

Oh Canada Strong and Free. Some beautiful pictures of Kluane National Park. Canada is Not For Sale and grateful for public parks for all to enjoy. Bring back good ol’ Canadian Snowshoeing - maybe we can start a wooden snowshoe manufacturing boom!!

2025 Dion Yukon Snowshoe Race - Race & Final Series Results ❄️ DION YUKON SNOWSHOE RACE ❄️The final race of the Dion Canadian Snowshoe Series was held on Thursday, March 6th at the Mt Mac Snowshoe Trails, in Whitehorse, Yukon​.Taiga Buurman was the first male ...

Woohoo Congrats Taiga. Showing Canadian pride that we got grit in not only running all winter long…. But on snowshoes to boot!

The fact that humans can only survive on Earth doesn’t bother Trump – and I know why | George Monbiot He is surrounded by people who have plans and dreams beyond our planet. Vengeful nihilism is a big part of the Maga project, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is scary. But I’ve thought of this often as a theory and this author articulates a lot of some random dark thoughts I’ve had given the psychology of Trump and the current situation our planet faces at this moment in time.

I should add it’s my favorite within the Supertramp discography.

Listening to this on vinyl as I contemplate 25% tariffs!
