You know how everyone now says they were always against the Iraq war when most people were for it? Let’s just skip the step of going to war with Iran, because one day everyone will say how they were always against it… except the weirdos, who just love bloodshed and bombs.

Did you know our future rests on you?

If you live in Macnamara you’re in one of the closest seats in the country - we’re just 300 votes away from winning here!

YOUR VOTE could deliver a golden age of progressive power-shared parliament. Don’t miss your moment.🌏🐨🌱

This election, vote 1 Greens 💚👈🏻

If you want to keep Dutton out, the only progressive vote in Macnamara is 1 Green. 💚

These are dark times but I have been inspired by the determination of people to come together and to stand strong.
Please take the time to watch the speech I gave to the first meeting of the Toronto Elbows Up Chapter.
The resistance is growing everywhere.

You know you're Canadian when you've been kicked out of at least one bar for standing on the chair and leading the crowd in a great anthem about stealing yankee gold.
With deep apologies to that nice little club in Jasper.
Or was it Halifax?

“A power-station catastrophe trashing our reputation for clean produce, with caesium potentially making the fine print of every ingredients list, would really test our marketing skills. By what logic should our country add this unnecessary danger?”

Something lovely for the weekend!

Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age.

Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago.

WRITING TIP FOR TODAY

Sale racks at bookstores. I'm dead serious.

Buy reference books when they are practically giving them away and build a little library. I cannot explain the difference between a book and the ENTIRE WEB.

A good reference book will give you a dozen ideas in the first chapter.

Welcome to Blue Sky.

Good morning, BlueSky!
