Son brought an island grown watermelon today that came from up island. I have never seen one like this! It may have been greenhouse grown. 10-12 lbs I'm guessing. I bought little this year.
I Love watermelon! A treat!

A large watermelon nicely green with darker green stirpes on a white plate on a beige countertop.

It is yellow inside! With black contrasting seeds and dark green outline of the rind. Crisp, sweet and juicy. Never seen a yellow one before today! Store bought have been poor quality this year rubbery flesh and not worth buying; last year too come to think of it.

We’re building this country — creating new opportunities for workers.

A photo of a person at work, overlayed with a headline of an article by CBC News that reads: Canada’s economy added 60,000 jobs in September, with gains led by manufacturing.

PP is a Trump wannabe. Canada rejected him completely in our last election.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is doing us proud abroad once again. Notice the room full of dignitaries all listening to PM Carney speak.

Israel will be reviled for these actions for a very long time. I have no dog in this fight but am disgusted by Israel's actions of retaliation against innocents.

On a lighter note.
One morning when out walking What did I see?
A juvenile late night prank. But I enjoyed it and the fountain got clean!

White layers of soap suds rising up against a building from a fountain.

Trees and garden flowers white dots to the left of the white blob, more flowers to the right of it then tree branches rising above the green lawn.

Random white sudsy blobs floating high and along the green grass like giant sheep in the distance.

As I watched PM Carney's Thanks Giving message, knowing that he is now in Egypt, in the back of my mind I wondered if he had anything to do with turning DT's mind to being a peacemaker in Gaza/Israel when he was at the Whitehouse.

The Trump Regime reflexively pushes back on ALL resistance.

In the case of NO KINGS, they are at a loss.

PM Carney is a well rounded guy. I hope he gets to enjoy the play of some of those he encourages in various sports.

We should be going green anyway! I wish Alberta could see this.

I hope not. They are going to bankrupt Canada's oil industry.

And yet they should be the ones doing the heavy lifting on paying for rebuilding Gaza.

By the park boardwalk an immigrant mom stretching with her kids encouraging them to exercise. "Make 'em work!" I said. "Happy Thanks Giving"!
Surprised, she smiled and said, Thank you and same to you!
A happy walk indeed, today. 😀
Diversity everywhere. I love Canada!
Happy Thanks Giving everyone!

Crossing a busy street at a light I heard bass from a car. I waved dancing hands up in the air, stepped lively and smiled at the driver, a young East Asian who laughed. 😁

Frustration at not being able to do anything to resolve the situation Canadians boycott fiercely. It's personal.
And it's hatred of fascism our forebearers fought against and died for.
And fear of crossing the border and being innocently caught up in it.
We can all boycott. Go Canada!

Hard to believe that PM Carney must travel again! Never stops working, not even at Thanks Giving. His family must miss him.
Stay safe Prime Minister!
