Train tour to the Agawa Canyon where some of Canada's Group of Seven artists spent time painting. A lovely excursion.

Ready for my abstract #art lesson.

Photo of author Madelaine Drohan holding a copy of her new book, He Did Not Conquer: Benjamin Franklin's Failure to Annex Canada. There is a box full of author's copies of the book in front of her. She has short, gray hair and glasses and is smiling.

It's a wonderful feeling when 5 years of research and writing comes to fruition. The thought that immediately follows is that the work is not done because you now have to promote it. I am grateful for all the help I received along the way.

it's a subway sandwich held up by two hands with the word RESIST written above

listen, i'm not in the business of making agitprop but it feels like the subway-throwing lawyer gave everyone a pretty useful symbol

Remember Smokey Bear ? Just discovered this American fire prevention mascot for 81 years and counting, was retired in Canada a few years ago. Replaced by Ember the Fire Smart Fox. Who knew?

At least one French politician has suggested the US return the gift.

Your promotion in the last many weeks has been stellar! Go Madelaine!

'Arenig, Sunset.' In 1911, James Dickson Innes accompanied Derwent Lees and Augustus John to Arenig Fawr, a mountain in Snowdonia, North Wales; it was soon after he had returned from the south of France. In this work, he has painted Wales as if he were still in the Mediterranean.

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

Perspective is all.

This is surprising to me. I remember when the trend in Canada went to no perfume or cologne allowed at work, public transit, theatres and so on. Looks like the pendulum is swinging back.

A delightful story to bring a ray of joy into your day, especially if you #garden (or try).

So excited for my friend Madelaine Drohan. Time to pre-order her new book about the last American who tried to annex Canada.✍️ 👇

Congrats to you Madelaine!

Just to be clear, Governor Newsom hasn't broken any laws. If this line is crossed, and the President has a sitting governor arrested, then the choice for Democratic leaders, senior military officers and federal employees becomes one of accepting dictatorship or taking drastic action.

Defying DeSantis, Florida Pride Marchers Light Up Jacksonville Bridge with Rainbow Organizers demonstrated that they didn’t need state permission for queer visibility.

1. Florida banned cities from lighting up bridges rainbow colors for Pride.

So the people of Jacksonville did it themselves using flashlights and gels.

They opened the drawbridge to block them.

So they marched to a different bridge.
