Lovely work, Jude. I just finished a cardigan (not naturally dyed, as I used gifted wool). Now it's on to my long list of Christmas knitted gifts...

This is my back yard. The Englishtown name is just the most recent for this community. It's the site of the very first Jesuit mission in North America, and one of the oldest European colonial settlements, too. The Acadian French regions on our island are predominantly on the NW and S coasts.

And that's a huge problem nowadays - so many people who don't read, explore, digest, analyse beyond the measly few words of a headline, but assume they know the whole story.

What a lot of the overly entitled whiners don't realize is that while the fire ban was communicated by government, it was based on a request/recommendation from the fire departments - i.e. the front line. Pathological entitlement conflated with freedom is just another ploy of the far right.

Language of eugenics. Setting the stage for rounding up unhoused mentally ill folks (who, apparently, aren't part of the 'your' to whom the streets belong), to create another feeder stream for the spy tech/prison industry/deportation pipeline, to benefit the likes of his sugar daddy, Peter Thiel.

So in your world, such an endeavour should be finished in 4 months (the short time Carney's been in office)? Maybe you only do easy projects. Leading a country, getting buy-in from the PTs & private sector, vetting proposals, etc., all while fending off fascists, is a little more complex.
