The ship sails on through evening’s glow,
Where day meets night in calm below.

Golden rays of sunlight stream dramatically through a break in dark clouds over a calm sea at sunset. A distant silhouette of a ship glides along the horizon near a shadowed coastline, while dark rocks in the foreground catch glimmers of gold reflected on the rippling water.

Cottage in the Woods @cottageinwood.bsky.social · Sep 11

But a tree isn't limited to how it is useful to humans. Every tree is a home for wildlife, a warrior against climate change, a healer of the earth, a survivor of epochs, a story protector, a kind aunt and uncle, and a food bank for dozens of species in difficult times.

No Canadian snowbirds in Florida and Arizona this season. Means, lots of places are going to fold.

A dusting of snow covers the forest floor yet a red dirt path is still visible It winds its way between tall trees and forest debris, leading to somewhere unknown. The sun makes an appearance between the treetops causing a warm beam of light to glow through the boughs of the evergreens and land gently upon the trail

This is a visual reminder that those who align with Poilievre want Canada to remain a colonial economy of the US

Those who align with Carney want to build a resilient global economy which will lead to wealth for All Canadians
