Nikihk (nikihk.ca) is an Indigenous (Cree) owned company in Saskatchewan that makes all kinds of cleaning products for kitchen and laundry, and also some body soaps. They are eco-friendly and Sobeys carries it or you can buy online. I can't imagine ANYTHING being more Canadian than this! 🇨🇦🇨🇦

My fb feed is full of ads from Conservative front groups ridiculing Canadians standing up to Trump.
When I tried to purchase an ad taking on Pierre Poilievre FB said it didn't mean their community "standards."
We know which side they are on. Please share this clip.

Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

View of mountains from shallow end of a brilliantly coloured turquoise lake . Nearby, large rocks are visible through the clear, shallow waters. In the background, coniferous trees line the lake.

Glacial flour is what gives rivers & lakes in Jasper this turquoise colour. Minerals absorb & reflect back to our eyes the shorter wavelength blues -> green. "Beau Vert" translates to "beautiful green."

What do you think of this idea?

Canadian shoppers are starting a new habit. After checking an item, if it's US product, they return it to the shelf upside down and turn several more of the same item upside down so the next shopper knows to skip that product.

Stevie Wonder being arrested for protesting the South African embassy in 1985

11/ I leave you with this boss photo of Stevie Wonder being arrested for protesting the South African embassy in 1985:

The color photo shows a large, egg-shaped sculpture with a geometric pattern in black, yellow, white, and brown, mounted on a pedestal in an open grassy field under a blue sky with scattered clouds. The sculpture, known as the "Big Egg," is a prominent landmark. In the foreground, four members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), dressed in red uniforms and wide-brimmed hats, stand in a line, adding a ceremonial presence.

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the vibrant and unique culture and history of Canada.
Today, it is the World's Largest Pysanka in Vegreville, flanked by RCMP Officers.
