The scoop of cookies ‘n cream on my daughter’s ice cream cone just fell off and rolled into gravel.

“Well it’s Rocky Road now!” I said.

She didn’t bat an eye. Calmly picked it up, squashed it back on the cone and proceeded onwards.

I love Gen Z. Chaos all around and they just out here LIVING!

I rehung my Ukrainian flag today 🇺🇦
I checked world news, blinking back hot tears of rage, sadness.
I checked in with my parents; my dad’s in the hospital with a high probability of lung cancer.
I checked in on a friend whose kiddo had surgery.
Took my kiddo to a doctors appointment.
It’s a lot.

And how about that anthem!! 🇨🇦 Quebec patriotic? ‼️

I lived in Montreal for 20 years. I have NEVER seen such a beautiful display of True Patriot Love as when they sang our anthem tonight. 🇨🇦

What a shift for this country. From far and wide, indeed.

They say nothing unites like a common enemy and WOW I have seldom witnessed Canada SO united than in the past 48 hours. ‼️ 🇨🇦 💪🏼🍁

Watch out world

Look for Product of Canada labeling when shopping, folks. #BoycottUSA

Canada and Denmark share a 1.2 km long land border on Hans Island since we ended the Whisky War in 2022.
So technically we could join the European Union.

The loooong journey home to Halifax, NS from Cortes Island, BC began hours ago with two ferry rides in the fog across the Discovery Passage to Campbell River. Now I’m in the Comox airport starting the first of three flights. 🫠 Canada is vast and beautiful, and exhausting to cross. 🌊 ⛴️ ✈️ 🚗

Can I just say - Instagram is looking butt ugly. Like what is even happening over there on our profile pages? 🫤

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Oh kkkkay!

The world is a dumpster fire these days, but in this quiet corner of BC’s Discovery Islands it is just tall fir trees, mossy forest and my mother and I picking winter chanterelles on a quiet morning.

Not online much today, but if any of my American friends need an emotional support Canadian today, I’m here. We’re here. 🍁
