Other issues notwithstanding, the President of the United States complaining about _us_ being late to join a war is a little rich.

There are windy days, and then there are watching-my-heavy-rubber-doormat-flying-by-the-window days. No trees down (so far🀞), but I fear my lightest snow shovel may be on its way to Calgary.

Land & Sea: A Goose Named Gord
YouTube video by CBC News NL - Newfoundland and Labrador Land & Sea: A Goose Named Gord

Watching Land & Sea has been one of my Sunday traditions for a long time. I love learning about such beautiful regions of Canada, watching this episode, it struck me how many wealthy, supposedly successful people will never be as perfectly happy as this dear man:

I still hear people blaming Rachel Notley for out current (perceived) woes. So they’re admitting that the Cons were sufficiently weak that every policy they enacted since 1972 was insufficient to withstand four years of NDP governance?

Seriously, everytime I read a headline about the NS government lately, I have to double-check to see that it’s not referencing Alberta. Nova Scotia is such a beautiful province; I hate to see the rise of the same hateful, short-sighted stupidity that continuously oozes from our legislature.

What does it say about cursing bloodthirsty, genocidal dictators misinterpreting historic religious texts to their benefit, because I’m all about that shit!

I’m hearing so many coyotes now; maybe because it’s mating season? We found blood on the snow near one of our resident fox’s hidey-holes and assumed he’d got some prey. Then my husband saw a dead, bloody fox in a nearby ditch - I think the coyotes may have attacked our boy. He was the cutest kit😒

I hope Carney is practicing his Shawinigan handshake in preparation for his next meeting with the Orange Oaf. Though come to think of it, I don’t know that I’d want him to touch THAT neck.

Canada cannot equivocate on this dangerous an illegal war. Our NATO allies have been clear in rejecting the war.

Bean in clover is my #lockscreen for #TerrierTuesday. Not shown: the squirrel mocking her from atop the logpile. The backyard doesn’t look much like that right now, I’m afraid.

True- but maybe it would force Melania to rearrange her features to show concern.

I think you’re spot on; clinging to personal grievance is much less demanding than than -y’know- examining the facts.

I spun up a bag of natural brown NZ Romney fleece years ago - such beautiful wool to work with! I overdyed some of it with unsugared koolaid powder (can you even get that now?) and ended up with some gorgeously rich colours. Good to know we can get it in Canada.

Danielle Smith claims it’s because EVs Are so heavy, they cause more wear on the roads- unlike the lifted 350 pickups that infest our highways, which apparently float sylph-like above the asphalt.

Some noodlehead announced he’d be setting up a signing station for this idiotic petition in his driveway. When asked what he thought he was achieving by doing so, all he could say was β€œFreedom!”, though he didn’t say from what. Human rights, healthcare and his CPP, maybe?

Yep, we pay an extra $200 every year to renew our EV’s registration, thanks to the UCP.

My niece served lavender lemonade at her wedding. Another guest took a sip and, genuinely confused, asked me why her drink tasted like Grandma’s perfume.
