The brilliant @jonlovett.bsky.social explained the plan behind the Trump tariffs rather well in this short video shared on Instagram.

Larry Summers, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury estimates the tariffs could cost the U.S. economy $20 trillion. That means $200,000 lost per U.S. family.

As I come to the end of the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge, I am so grateful for the body that carries me through my daily life. Thank you @cherifogleman.bsky.social for your moral support and motivation to keep showing up for myself and build consistent fitness habits. Feels good to get stronger!

Marine Le Pen, hand on head, dark suit

France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. She has been sentenced to 4 years in prison and banned from running for public office again. During her previous campaign she was friendly to the Kremlin but recently began to sour on them publicly.

Yesterday was the penultimate day of the #MarchThroughMarchChallengeI I clocked 1.5 miles of walking while gardening…weeding, pruning, shovelling. It felt good to be outside amidst all the birds and the emerging greenery. The above pic is of our beautiful anemone poppies. @cherifogleman.bsky.social

Did 2 walks today for the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge. These pics are from the first, which was our dystopian industrial landscape wandering. We found an old water cistern, complete with moss steps that looked like shag carpet! @cherifogleman.bsky.social

Well, yesterday was another day of just enough walking to meet the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge minimum. But, it was a lovely day catching up with a dear friend. Today, we shall walk! @cherifogleman.bsky.social

At a press conference on Wednesday, Winnipeg police confirmed the identity of Mashkode Bizhiki’ikwe to be Ashlee Shingoose.

Ashlee’s father Albert Shingoose had one request for Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew: sing a song.

Finally got out for another beach walk. It’s a lot easier to be enthusiastic about the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge when signs of Spring are everywhere! @cherifogleman.bsky.social I hope you enjoy these ones.πŸ™‚

Did 2 shorter nature walkabouts today for the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge. Today was a mixed bag of weather, but there are definitely signs of Spring everywhere. Looking forward to my morning fitness class tomorrow with @cherifogleman.bsky.social!❀️πŸ’ͺ🏻

Bravo to John Bolger, who’s leveling up the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge in a whole new way!
He decided to pack his art supplies and some canvases and while out on his daily, Long Island walk, he pauses to create art!
Way to habit-stack, John!

Another day devoted to garden and errands. No dedicated walk (again), but still managed the required distance for the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge with @cherifogleman.bsky.social . Photos from around the yard include tiny millipedes and a yet to be pruned grape vine. Evidence of spring abounds.

A photo of my tomato and pepper seedlings, since I forgot to take a photo yesterday for the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge. I was on my feet a lot getting in the required distance, but was mostly just in the garden and running errands. @cherifogleman.bsky.social

Lousy weather today. Did get out, but not for long. Decided to do a 2 mile video walking workout. It was a challenge, but felt good to get the heart rate up! #MarchThroughMarchChallenge @cherifogleman.bsky.social

Posting a day late, yet again. Part of yesterday’s #MarchThroughMarchChallenge was spent walking around our local garden nursery, which is also home to some colourful avians!The rest was spent spent taking our dear friend artisanal shopping.πŸ™‚ @cherifogleman.bsky.social

Yes! I have the app. Although, I find its definition of β€œmoderate” to be a bit different than mine!πŸ˜‚

The #MarchThroughMarchChallenge is better with friends! Was lovely to get out and also lovely to come back and cozy up with wine and backgammon.πŸ™‚ @cherifogleman.bsky.social

'I think there's a great backlash against the Conservatives.'

Tonight N2N talks to McGill University professor Veldon Coburn about the upcoming federal election campaign, how the Liberals and Conservatives may fare, and what Indigenous Peoples may be thinking about each party.

Well, yesterday was not a stellar day for my #MarchThroughMarchChallenge…including that I forgot to post until today. But, I did make the minimum with just regular activity throughout the day. Planning to get out for a proper walk today. @cherifogleman.bsky.social

Here’s a pic of tonight’s dinner made with the clams we harvested the other day. Yum! No beach walk today…got in my 1 plus miles just doing house and garden chores. #MarchThroughMarchChallenge @cherifogleman.bsky.social

After an awesome Super Beginner’s Plus fitness class with @cherifogleman.bsky.social I managed to get my 1 mile minimum with chorin’ around the yard for the #MarchThroughMarchCgallenge. But, the weather was fine and we still took a sunset walk after dinner. Feeling tired in a satisfying way. πŸ₯±πŸ˜΄

Walked on the rocky tidal flats today and dug for clams. Didn’t have my camera, so no pics except this one of our clam harvest soaking in water at home. It was a fine way to get in the #MarchThroughMarchChallenge and to breathe some VERY fresh air! @cherifogleman.bsky.social

Today, I took an evening walk between rainy periods. The clouds and the lighting were gorgeous. I am so grateful for the natural beauty that surrounds me daily, which definitely helps keep me motivated to get out and walk. #MarchThroughMarchChallenge @cherifogleman.bsky.social
