Remember they said they don’t need anything from us? Then why are US States crying for Canadians to come back, travel, why are sales down in many categories, why are companies going bankrupt, we may be small in population to the US, but Canadians put billions in the US economy and we can boycott!!

Almost all of Canada is experiencing some level of drought.
I'll post the map below, which includes the legend.

"I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water & I feel above me the day blind stars waiting for their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, & I am free"
- Wendell Berry
#partialpoem #art #photography

Tall birch trees line a green lake and are reflected in the still water. They have lost their leaves for the season embracing the imminent hibernation. Tall rust grasses line the edge of the lake along with a couple of bushes glowing yellow with the autumnal change. Tall evergreens bring up the background. Framing the photo, craggy moss covered branches on either side of snap.

Carney on Canada's National School Food Program: "No child should go to school hungry or sit in a classroom all day wondering where their next meal will come from... Until today, this program was a pilot..so, we're announcing we'll move forward with the funding and legislation to make it permanent."
