Very concerning given the small population size of cranes.

A small round puffball mushroom with a rough, speckled surface growing among dry grass and pine needles on the forest floor.

First "puffball" of the season! (for me anyway). A "Pets-de-Loup"? (Family Lycoperdaceae)

So excited about mushroom season.

1984 Canadian federal election - Wikiwand The 1984 Canadian federal election was held on September 4, 1984, to elect members to the House of Commons of the 33rd Parliament of Canada.

I think it's important to note that the Parti Rhinocéros got almost 100k votes nationally in the 1984 Federal Election, and came in fourth place after the Tories, Libs, and NDP!

YouTube video by ConciergeduParti Parti Rhinocéros 1984

As Canada moves towards a Federal election, I think it behooves us to remember the wise policies of the Parti Rhinocéros
