The names of Canada's provinces and territories come from many sources.
Some names come from Indigenous words, while others are named for royalty, and some are named for where settlers came from.
This is how each province and territory was named!

Instead of playing one of the dozens of unplayed games I had saved up, I replayed FFXVI instead. Zero regrets, awesome game. Love the brotherly dynamic and the unapologetically queer moments! I think this is the first on-screen gay kiss in the series, hope to see more overt queer rep in future!

I slept all day. I am fully on a night shift now, which is apparently how my body functions when left alone because this happens to me every vacation!

Have to admit I'm a bit shocked! They aren't exactly known for being a bastion of LGBTQ+ rights. Maybe things are slowly changing?
Chinese pronouns are largely split between female and male – prompting LGBTQ activists to invent their own gender-neutral pronoun. That movement just took a big step forward. https://cnn.it/4jhyN9k

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.
I've collected his work here...

Had an operation on my foot last week and the surgeon warned me before she took the bandage off, "Remember I told you it was a lot bigger than we thought right?"
Folks, I've got an incision running down the whole top of my foot! Welp. Graphic pic!

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

I know what I'll be reading on holiday.
My book Canada's Main Street: The Epic Story of The Trans-Canada Highway was released this year.
It is a great read and even my pupper Berton loves it.
Find it in most bookstores and online (as well as your local library) 👇

Being hypermobile is trying to explain to folks at work that you briefly dislocated your shoulder over the weekend which means you're in pain when you work at your computer too long and you'll need roughly 6 months of physio to get back to some semblance of normal.
