I like to think this macro photograph of mine came out really well as enlargement (this one is 12x18).

Hey European and UK netizens, if you truly want to see Canada survive this and come out the other side stronger, while making a failed reality TV star look stupid, then consider e-mailing/calling your elected representatives and asking them to expand trade with Canada.

In this climate where a Trump-led USA is an unreliable ally, where Canada is looking to withdraw from the poisoned teat of US mega businesses and support itself more, I shared the pictured post over on Facebook.

I love the fact that ministers of the German government pretty much told "J.D." to go f*** himself after his derisive diatribe at the MSC.

Good work, Germany.
