Spring magic in the forest PNW. Love seeing the lillies and fairy slippers.

Veggie here, my suggestions would be : Marinated and grilled portobellos or mushroom shish-ka-bobs, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, tofu (smoked or firm) hallumi cheese. With a pita and different dips, hummus, babaganoush. Tbh ... as a veggie I usually bring something I can eat. Happy Chacutierie!

What a game! Proud of our Canadian team. That was some incredible hockey played today.

That is so awful for all involved.

Schools always add more to a community than they take away. Worth the fight.

The Stealthy Far-Right Campaign to Recruit Young Men | The Tyee ‘Active Clubs’ promote health and self-improvement. With a side of white nationalism.

Active Clubs contribute to the rise of a new form of white nationalism: less overtly political, more cultural and therefore more difficult for law enforcement — but also parents, educators and civil society — to detect and challenge.

Frédérick Nadeau and Tristan Boursier write. 🥊

I saw a strongly worded letter floating around reddit recently from Alberta Federation of Labour (I think)- about not invoking the Not Withstanding Clause. This is not over and interesting to see what happens here. In solidarity!

We call that game stealth tongue. My Golden is a master at it and my kids like to tease her by seeing how close they can get - so silly.

I love late summer blooms will be sad to see them go but welcome the change of the season.

Love that she was a teacher, too. She was spot on.

Screenshot from the BC Ferries Facebook with two photos of a black and white cat in a car with a dog. Caption: “Help bring Luigi home. If you see him or know where he may be, call 250-720-9999 immediately. Please share to help reunite Luigi with his family.”

🚨 If you were on the BC Ferries 10:15am sailing August 9 Duke Point to Tsawwassen please check your vehicles, trailers or boats for Luigi, a black and white tuxedo #cat wearing a blue harness.

Luigi slipped out of a small window opening of his owner's vehicle and disappeared on the lower car deck.

Well that seems like a lot - should think before you post just sayin' ...

I sure that whatever his name is is glad that you do.

Thing is this dude could totally book at larger churches if he wanted to. It's really his promoters and agents he should be mad at-they were vague about the booking and then "surprised" when they were cancelled.Tbh Don't share this stuff-it's just rage bait. It ultimately makes him more money.

Wab shows the way - with integrity and dignity needed in these times.

Did you know that for $5/month, you can get PBS Passport, a service that unlocks the vastness of the @pbs.org libraries?
Feed your mind while you help PBS stay on the air.

Kids are alright. Always impressed by them.

Has Grok developed a weird dark sense of humour? Either way slightly terrifying.

Don't disagree but hope you read the article first before you replied.

This is an opinion article and not much substance - more a lament about Carney keeping the status quo. I do think it's quick to judge here as I think some of the ground work is being set out to switch.But it takes a lot of money too so I can see why we are not shooting the cash cow yet.

I love delphiniums (I think this is what they are). They are on point this year.

Love this book and read it every year to my students. In Canada it is currently Indigenous Peoples Month - will pull it out when we eat fry bread hotdogs later this month.

Federal government to match Red Cross donations to help wildfire victims | CBC News The federal government says it will match donations made to the Canadian Red Cross as wildfires tear across the Prairies, forcing thousands from their homes.

Canadian friends. This might be an excellent time to donate to help out northern neighbours get back on their feet. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

NDP needs some sound leadership to help them now that Jagmeet Singh has stepped down. They might be overplaying their hand - toppling the Gov will make them weaker. As an NDP supporter this looks bad. Hope they channel Layton and get back some sense.

He's got something to say! It's like the baby Ravens in the back trees - sounds like some is constantly yelling "ahhhhhh"
