I'm getting too depressed now.

Some of our white-throated sparrows, which are ground eating birds, have started using the weighted feeder when they don't find enough seeds in the seed catcher!! This is fun

Sometimes, people wonder why Québec is so intense on language rights and French protection.

The comments here explains it a lot. So many Canadians do *not* see French as an official language.

(Yes, I wish indigenous languages also got the same rights) […]

Just got my official letter for the fellowship to New Zealand! And I have a possible lead on a local farm sitter, but nothing is set yet.

So I'm just going to put this out onto the Fediverse again, in case someone who knows how take care of goats in Real Canadian Winter (down to -40C temps) […]

As expected

The takeaway from today seems to be that nothing has gone sideways — no blowouts in front of the cameras or behind closed doors — but it’s hard to gauge how much progress has actually been made.

"LeBlanc was asked how the Canadian side can say it’s happy.

The minister said he’s been clear he wasn’t expecting a detailed deal today and reiterated he is staying behind to continue the talks.

“We hope to make progress,” he said."
