Montréal. Canadian hardiness zone 6a (~USDA zone 5b).
This is my third year with my cherry tree and second with my apricot tree. This year they both flowered for the first time and have set fruit! Yay for both surviving the Montreal winter in pots! 🌱#gardening

Has anyone with back pain started strength training in middle age? Did it help? How did you get started? I want to get stronger to relieve some of the pain I have had since my pregnancies, but it's overwhelming! TIA!

Let’s disappear people to foreign prisons based on allegations they committed crimes isn’t a slippery slope, you’ve already rolled all the way down the mountain.

"Holding my camera, it was as if I watched them become ghosts."

Americans, do you accept this? The disappearing of people, into a violent concentration camp far away, some for just having tattoos? Will they ever see their loved ones again? Does this not haunt you?
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

I dunno Poilievre, boots conjurs up certain other images at this moment:

"Boot on our necks"
"Jack boot politics"
"Boot lickers"

This also feels like trying to drive a wedge between blue and white collared workers, when right now Canada is screaming for unity loud and clear. A miss for me.
Fellow Canadians : Let us please do everything in our power not to elect this absolute dipshit.

The man is a career politician that has never done a day of manual labour in his fucking life and yet he hides behind idiotic slogans like this.

Boo this man at every turn. May he never know peace.

Canadians, should I make a starter pack of Canadian companies to buy from instead of Amazon etc. that are on Blue Sky?

(Also, please tag any you know here and I will add them!)

I just finished planting about 100 fava beans of 3 varieties: bonnie lad, polar fava and petit du lac (a Quebec cultivar!) I love planting fava because it has an early start and harvest and is, in my opinion, the most delicious bean!

What spring legumes is everyone else planting? 🌱 #gardening
March 19, 2025 at 2:03 PM
Okay, but can I work for them though?

But for real, I'm also growing bananas and citrus and more in Quebec, just at home 😊. I love the challenge. 🌱 #gardening #canadagardens

It's 11 degrees, and the sun is warm. There's mud everywhere. My kids didn’t wear snowsuits to school today, and I took them to the park for the first time since November. Spring is coming in Montreal!

So Canadian ministers and the premier of Ontario went down to Washington and had a "good meeting" and "constructive discussion" where all they accomplished was to agree to "continue dialogue". What a nothing burger.

This is highly reminiscent of Russia and Ukraine to me.
