🇨🇦Happy to be Canadian

For anyone wanting to understand a bit more about the discord between rural and urban or for those with a narrow view of Albertans. A good listen for all Canadians especially those who would like a true voice rather than a party one. Great interview!

Also grateful we don't have alligators.

We always stop for lunch at Jelly Bakery in Shelburne, Ontario whenever we travel nearby.

RIP Bobby Sherman.

He forgot to add "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

So lovely when the farmer's market baker has a sense of humor.

Purple spikes of delphiniums bloom along a sidewalk. Other perennials also line the walkway.

Delpiniums. Remind us that we can reach the sky,even after we have been laid low by the cruelest of months.

It's so frustrating to see our country and the world going backwards. I'm not opposed to just ending this Internet experiment altogether - it's not going well. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Street Views: Counting Beyond Cars Car counts guide urban planning, but what about people on bikes and foot? Does their absence affect streets and public spaces?

"We put so many resources into studying the movement of cars on a structural level, but we do not do the same for pedestrians or bicyclists.

I honestly don't understand the thought that getting rid of bike lanes will make the world better.
Make more and better bike lanes.
