Knock me over with a feather. I didn’t know there is a Prince Edward Island teacup, yet yesterday I was sipping from one. There’s probably a whole set 🤷

In 2024, I conducted three polls to determine Canada's Favourite Invention, TV Show and Song.
Collectively, there were 2.5 million votes cast in the three contests. And three great winners emerged :)
Looking forward to the polls of 2025!

In case anyone asks you at the water-cooler today, the answer is:
"Yes, the 2-year running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly is now 1.53°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline, according to Copernicus data."

On this day in 2012, police began arresting people involved in The Great Maple Syrup Heist.
And with the release of The Sticky, now is the perfect time to explore what actually happened in that famous heist (and the things The Sticky changed)
Let's learn more :)

Is Santa Claus Canadian?
While some would argue he is a citizen of the world, he actually does have Canadian citizenship.
I thought it would be interesting to see the evidence that Santa Claus is in fact Canadian.

Three groups of coyotes where we live. Heard simultaneously from 3 different directions this evening. The neighbour’s kitten Caramel was eaten when he went outside last week. Taken right outside his door. I am worried. Thoughts?

One week to Christmas. Beautiful Amaryllis. But above 0 and no snow here on Prince Edward Island. 🤷 I’m looking at green grass through my window. Thoughts?
