Today marks 100 years since women in Newfoundland won the right to vote and hold public office. It was a hard-fought victory led by tireless suffragists.

But the fight isn’t over. Women in NL still face pay inequity & underrepresentation in politics. It's time for action.

Keep an eye out for the new Buy From Newfoundland and Labrador logo over the weeks to come as part of a wider campaign to highlight the importance of choosing local.

Gaza belongs to Palestine β€” and no one else.

Trump's threats are utter madness. They violate every international law. Destabilize the region. Threaten the ceasefire.

Canada must stand up to this forcefully.

Gaza is not for sale, it belongs to Palestinians.

So I'm standing in the grocery store parking lot and it's freaking cold.
A very classy old woman sees me and walks the entire distance across the lot.
"You give that man shit," she says.
Then walks away.
That's Canada.
The criminal might buy off porn stars.
He will never force Canada to bend.

Snowmagedon?

"Snowmageddon" was a record-breaking snowstorm that hit St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada on Jan. 17–18, 2020: Over 90 cm of snow in 72 hrs, on top of 100 cm that was already on the ground.
Winds: Hurricane-force winds of over 120 km/h created snowdrifts up to 15 ft high.

Thanks for adding.
It is the historic site of an airstrip used by Amelia Earhart in 1932.
Constructed by locals in 1927, this historic airfield hosted twenty transatlantic flight attempts during the interwar period. Amelia Earhart famously left the airstrip on her successful solo flight in 1932.
