I share photographs, amplify information from credible news sources about climate, environment, health, housing, politics, women's rights and more. I'll try to build a kind & thoughtful community square. A polite Canadian in rural Ontario.
“They’re odd people. They’re not the sort of people we’re used to dealing with … These are a different group of people, but we don’t have any other choice but to deal with them.-- Ian Brodie, former Chief of Staff to Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, on the Trump administration.

A young muskrat visited us this afternoon. He was unafraid. Let me get close to him to take photos, and Jim went to him and stroked his fur. He was just interested in feeding on the grass. We’ve never seen one in the backyard before. He had quite a long tail.

It’s been a challenging weather year: An Ice Storm, a late Spring planting season, and now a heat dome. These tomatoes have been through the wars. But here they are, surviving and hopefully thriving.

The spin by all parties (except Greens that I have seen) being put on the G&M story on India interference in the Conservative leadership race that elected Poilievre is epic. This race may get right ugly.

I would forego putting Charles Souza out there as a spokesperson for the federal #Liberal campaign. He is an unpleasant guest. He's combative and can't give a straight answer. Fair questions deserve fulsome answers. I expect aggression from the Cons. Souza is a dud, IMHO.

Ambassador Hillman looks very concerned during the press conference with federal ministers LaBlanc and Champagne and their response to media on meeting today with U.S. reps on #tariffs. Diplomats hear with different ears. I wonder how she's parsing today's discussions. #Canada #elbowsup
