For over 130 years, Canadians either loved or hated Cherry Blossoms.
Considered a staple of the Christmas season, these candies were often found in stockings.
In January 2025, it was announced Cherry Blossoms were being discontinued.
This is their history.

Critical support to Mr. Outhit for this very funny piece
Developers who spent $15 million to buy land in Waterloo’s downtown now propose twin condo towers at 33 and 37 storeys on the site. Neighbours who live in other tall buildings are pushing back, calling the project too dense, too tall, and too much. www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...
In Waterloo’s downtown, residents in tall towers fight a plan for even taller towers
Disagreements over height, heritage and density have led some neighbours to oppose twin towers that would be the tallest in the city.

A no nonsense summary of placating the maple maga of western Canada who only see money when they look at the view of the Rockies. As always Charlie Angus tells it like it is and doesn’t adjust the truth of history.

Rep. Robert Garcia and Sen. Richard Blumenthal say US citizens have been taken without warrants, lawyers or charges.

Fullofshiticus (the original) #LyingLecce makes an appearance this morning bragging about refurbishing the Pickering nuclear power plant. When he was MoE he was the absolute worst. Threatened to fine CUPE members for striking & garbage offers of pay increases. Glad we barely have to see him now.

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse with the #ClimateCrisis, and then make it much worse with bad design.

Data from June 19, when the daily high was 106 degrees, shows asphalt across the city that day was between 120 and 160 degrees.

The fact that only 3 (by my count) Republican members of Congress have spoken out about the Witkoff situation shows how thoroughly corrupted and compromised the entire party has become from top to bottom. None of this is about just Trump - it is the entire political party.
