Canadian Tulips. Always remembered as a gift from the Netherlands for Canadians liberating the country in May 1945. Ottawa has an amazing Tulip Festival every year. I just visit places in my City of Richmond Hill for photo ops.

Time to sit in a Canadian Muskoka chair to reflect quietly on the Canadian Election of 2025. Really time to emerge with more Canadians supporting Canadians coast to coast to coast. #reflectivethoughtsbybarbara#canadianelection2025#timeforaction

CN Tower is 50 years old today- April 3, 2025. A great Canadian icon with its circular shape looking to the West, looking to the East, looking to the South and looking to the North. Strong and free.

Canadians do like to have fun. Besides being polite we do have a sense of humour. Do you like our frozen jeans standing on their own? If we can do this with jeans, just watch what we can do with our country!#canadastrongandfree#ohcanada#coasttocoasttocoast#

January 20th will find me remembering Martin Luther King, watching Prime movies, reading and going for a winter walk. No watching of TV for the day. I may be one but I am pulling a Ghandi of passive resistance to tyranny.

How to say you are Canadian without saying you are Canadian! Tim Hortons double double with chili and a baileys cream donut. Some comfort food in the middle of troubled times. Just saying.
