Fresh snow and sunshine transforms this bench into a beautiful spot to take in the winter scenery. While the threat of freezing rain looses around the corner. #fujifeed #winterphotography #tranquility #freshsnow #Canada

This is for the education of lutnick and Trump. Henry Ford started production of the Model T in 1908 the same timeline as McLaughlin was building cars in Oshawa Canada. The McLaughlin became Buick and then stolen by General Motors our assembly plants became GM Canada.

The lowest water levels in these old ponds in 70 years according to those who grew up here.

Opinion: Being hopeful isn’t about avoiding the world’s hard realities – it’s an act of resistance Hope demands that we shift the narrative away from the sense that we are helpless in the face of forces beyond our control

A great article for Canadians to read as evil power grows to our North and Southern borders. We need to be weary and positive at the same time.

Canada should avoid comme tary as well, as it will never be productive. NETANYAHU and Hamas are rogue commanders that dont care what Canada states so why inflame the sentiments of Canadian ethnic groups that should be focused on Canada.

Anand says Canada is β€˜evaluating the relationship with Israel’ after Qatar strike In a podcast interview released Wednesday, Mark Carney said that Israel's attack was "intolerable … in the sense (that) it violates international law."

The Toronto Star notes statement by Israeli Ambassador to Canada Iddo Moed, that abuses the antisemitism, get out of Jail card, to avoid responsibility. Palestinian and Jewish groups in Canada must refrain from ethnic commentary. Israel has Trump like, rogue leader.

A surreal Toronto. A little world that is very difficult to travel to or get out of. Very expensive to live or play in. Spots to play, like #Biidaasigepark ,paid for by our taxes. Nonetheless the concentration of people continues.

Views of the new #Biidaasigepark or Don River Portlands. Once those trees grow tall it will be quite spectacular.

ICE & MAGA is the American equivalent to the brown shirts of Germany before the war. Of course it is designed to instill fear. But the real danger is the take over of the Justice system. Once the guard rails and checks and balances are removed its game over. The USA is a scared misinformed nation.

It's is sad to see Americans focus on twisting a commercial into a race issue while they allow a CLOWN KING and his fascist gang of sycophants and greed motivated republicans destroy the nation state they claim to be proud of. SQUIRREL...... πŸ•

Tri-X due to a bit more contrast, clarity, and grain.
For a portrait the Acros 100 would be better. Tough call with this image.

Retaliatory tariffs will not work. Its clear Trump and his supporters do not wish to import anything. Therefore companies exporting to the USA need to diversify customers, increase prices for US customers until they stop buying, which is their plan. It is clear that trade with the US will be gone.

Even if this fantasy tunnel system worked it would not resolve any traffic issues as there are no infrastructures, in the GTA that can handles on and off traffic from the 401. The only solution is rail and decentralization. Develope cities like Peterborough, Lindsay, Newcastle etc to move business.

I am sure that there are legalities that would prevent selling a provincial park but, probably, no one has dug in that deep yet. Ford would strip, develop, & pave the entire province, with the exception of the Muskokas, if it turns a profit for his friends and associates.

No other logic for Daniel Smith other than joining the USA with secret, unreliable US commitments, to make her Governor and she could pipe Oil straight north or South and sell all their forests to the USA. After all, these are the key concerns for Alberta sepratists. Loyal Canadians would leave.

Right out of the MAGA play books. Do not be fooled, Albertan's. You are Canadian not just employees of big oil or pawns for Smith's power grabs. Being Canadian is not about pipelines and deregulation ots about being free and safe.

Hazy days on the farm with wildfires and their smoke making everything far too murky.

The Canadian Canoe Museum, in Peterborough, displays how the simple Canoe was perfected in Peterborough county and spawned the watercraft as a vital comercial & a recreational craft. The Canoe and its manufacture was mastered here in #Ontario. We can dominate the economy again. #elbowsup #Canada

Yes.......another Kawartha sunset with some northern wildfire haze for ambiance. Pretty and Scary at the same time.
This smoky haze, I think, is the new normal summer environment. Global warming deniers must have a few screws loose.

Any Albertan who supports separation from Canada is committing treason as they weaken Canada and Alberta to defend ourselves from Trump and his fascist regime. There are no gains for anyone in entertaining anything that weakens our stance. Poilievre must choose to win a seat and loose his leadership

It's a two year plus game of chess dealing with the lunatic selfserving president Trump. Americans gave the mandate to Trump to destroy the global economy, environment, and peace. Only the intelligent Americans can resolve this nightmare fascist. Unlike 1940s Germany there's no military to take him
