Rick! I’ve missed you and your non sequiturs!

I have better things to do than follow his moods.

I don’t care.

So we’re doing a cult of personality?

Am I the only one who doesn’t care who he didn’t like yesterday, likes today or dislikes tomorrow?

There’s real news. This ain’t it.

Leaders of Canada’s Newest Convoy Worry Police Are Trying to Sabotage a Nationwide Protest Avenging a Flock of Dead Ostriches Convoy organizers say they are at ‘war’ with the federal government, but insist they will remain ‘peaceful’

In case you’re wondering:

The key people behind tomorrow’s planned nationwide Ostrich Convoy include an aging Burning Man attendee who drives a psychedelic school bus called the “Church of Bubbles” and a Dutch-born Gen Z social media marketer who imports maple syrup to Utrecht, Netherlands

Convoy leaders, including Kerr, say they plan to stage events targeting regional offices for Canada's food inspection agency, though none can point to any specific rules or regulations they want the CFIA to change. "I don't know much about the regulations and those side of things," Schep said, adding that the ostrich convoy is simply about raising "awareness" of the plight of farmers in Canada. "They specifically want the politicians to listen to them and make sure they're heard."

This is a garble of nonsense: target food inspection, but don’t know which rule or policy, just raising awareness?

Are we at ‘they’re eating the cats and dogs’ yet?

I wish I craved Swedish.

That’s accurate.

I have American friends who are wonderful- generalizations are not helpful. Canadians do have every right to distrust the present administration and those who support them.

Alan, could you share that recipe? I’ve made it many times and it always sucks.

Popularity Trump -10 Canada +49

I agree there have been rough patches.However, that’s not the whole picture- my son went to MIT on a generous scholarship as have many Canadians - they have been welcomed and treated with respect. That’s not ‘abuse’.

As for the U.S. not caring about us - don’t mistake Trump for the entirety of 🇺🇸

Those are the worst - a craving you can’t fulfil! On my to do list is learn to make Thai fish cakes - I can’t cook those either.

Satay, peanut sauce and bok choy.

We rarely order in but this is one recipe I just can’t nail so, last night we ordered Thai satay and peanut sauce, making my breakfast leftovers delicious!

I love breakfast for dinner and dinner for breakfast.

I’m aware. But it’s nuanced.

A total hipster!

PET nailed that.

Our hopes are high. Our faith in the people is great. Our courage is strong. And our dreams for this beautiful country will never die.

It’s been tough for Canada- our neighbour and former best friend attacked our economy with tariffs and our sovereignty with illegal threats of annexation.

Thanks Prime Minister Carney for the constant good news and thanks to those sharing this news - goodness knows we need this.

#Canada

There’s a real retro trend - out children and their friends have record players and vinyl records. Our son got an old Leica, had it repaired and even develops his own film.

Everything old is new again.

A male Anna’s hummingbird at the door. So nosy! 🤣

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door.

This is who it was:

No cookie dough for you!

Risks of raw dough Flour doesn't look like a raw food, but most flour is raw. That means it hasn't been treated to kill germs that cause food poisoning, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella. These harmful germs can contaminate grain while it's still in the field or flour while it's being made. Steps like grinding grain and bleaching flour don't kill harmful germs—and these germs can end up in flour or baking mixes you buy at the store. You can get sick if you eat unbaked dough or batter made with flour containing germs. Germs are killed only when flour is baked or cooked.

Raw eggs are another ingredient in dough and batter that can make you or your loved ones sick. Raw and lightly cooked eggs can contain Salmonella.

Excellent recommendation- not only for avian flu but also, raw flour contains E. Coli and salmonella and raw eggs contain salmonella.

No raw cookie dough ever.

Canada spends more than the average OECD country on healthcare- graph

Of note: Canada spends more than the average OECD country on healthcare but has fewer doctors, hospital beds, MRIs and CTs.

OECD 2022:

Isn’t this a no brainer?

"I would be cognizant of the fact that the 70 per cent of the costs of any acquisition is the life-cycle sustainment costs," said Alan Williams, the Defence Department's former top procurement official, "and these costs for the Gripen are one-sixth the cost of the F-35.”

My pleasure.

No. It’s not.
