Good morning!
PSβ¦. Oof. That glass needs treatment against window strikes unless we just canβt see them from this angle.
TLDR: Since being elected, @mark-carney.bsky.social's office has had 18 meetings with oil and gas companies for every 1 meeting with an environmental group.... tag him in the comments to tell him to come to #NatureOnTheHill in October!

Honestly it hurts my heart to think another animal lover would ever consider this amusing. Itβs truly not. By not marking your glass, you are causing harm. Thanks for keeping kitties inside! Thatβs awesome but your glass requires treatment. Thank you!
