Do you know the story behind the Tree for Boston?

After the 1917 Halifax Explosion, Boston sent a train of supplies and relief personnel to help survivors. In 1918, Nova Scotia sent Boston a Christmas tree as thanks. The tradition was officially revived in 1971 and continues today. 🎄✨

An uneven field of snow at dusk. In the distance the setting dun creates a babd of orange light that gives way to a periwinkle blue. In the centre, at the horizon, a Canada flag flies.

Hard to believe the Canada flag in the centre, above the horizon line, is a huge one flying on the other side of highway 401. It's peaceful, quiet and cold here in the yard.

I was so angry I misspelled SHIT

Seriously, what the fuck is this shut. And no, the second image didnt make this sentiment any better.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

These folks will be so happy to hear that!

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Perhaps because the current American administration is hateful? 🤔

Kids Can Press company logo and logo and image of Franklin character with statement text,”Franklin the Turtle is a beloved Canadian icon who has inspired generations of children and stands for kindness, empathy, and inclusivity. We strongly condemn any denigrating, violent, or unauthorized use of Franklin’s name or image, which directly contradicts these values.”

My new book launches today!

He cannot stand his fellow Americans, ofc he lies to them.

A Lot in this article of him spending time with Trump so his assertion is pointless.
I'm guessing his actions have affected his wine sales so he's attempting some lukewarm damage control

I've filtered Ottawa's traffic collision data to show only collisions with injuries for each year, and then added the speed camera locations present in those years.

It looks like speed cameras have made the roads much safer.

The same road. Split image. Late fall with blue skies and a day later with fog and snow

The difference a day makes

Lest we forget.

You know you're from Canada when you tell yourself that this is the year you will beat the snow and get your winter tires on.
And then the snow comes and you're like everyone else in town calling the garage to see when they can get you outfitted.

Lovely capture!

Time builds flavour and however long you've got, is perfect.

Night falling, the sky is deep blue and the leafless trees in the background are silhouettes. A firepit is lit and side eyeing you like you owe her money is a large brown dog.

Here is your seat at the unfinished firepit. A place to watch the day turn to night on a cobalt blue muskoka chair draped in sheepskin.

Nice night last night for a fire in anticipation of the first flurries to fall today.
Dog just wants to know where I'm hiding the treats.
