The Canada 150 tulip, also known as the Maple Leaf tulip, is the official tulip of the 150th anniversary of Canada and was unveiled May 9, 2016, in Commissioners Park. The tulip was selectively bred with an elegant white flower and red flames, which resembles the flag of Canada.

We can't be spending money on anything that will make a functioning, successful society.

There's ballrooms to build. Billionaires to funnel immigration money to. That plane's not going to fix itself.

Building heat was turned-on Friday.

It is currently 26.7°C / 80°F in my place.

The heat is turned-off. Every window and the screen door are open.

Outside it's 8°C / 46°F

Dug out my old phone for photo in wall plumbing access hatch.

Old phone worse than expected: shattered screen now almost completely dead and dark.

🤓💡

In dark room, used bright flashlight on sensor to force the phone to max screen brightness.

Unlocked, USB connected, backup, factory default.

Elderly woman enters breakfast room with one eye open and wearing a pink housecoat. An elderly man sits at a table reading a newspaper with headlines "More political violence", "Free speech under siege", "Democracy under threat". The woman asks the man "Did the rapture happen?" and he replies "Yes. We're in Hell."
