This baby Chinquapin oak sapling grew by our garden gate, likely from an acorn buried by a squirrel. Since an oak tree blocking a gate isn’t great we moved it 6 weeks ago. So far it’s done very well. We won’t live to see it get more than 10-15 feet tall but hope it survives 🤞

Today is Persons Day.
This day honours The Persons Case, which ended in a victory for The Famous Five on Oct. 18, 1929. The ruling declared women to be persons under the law and qualified to sit in the Senate.
This is the story of that case.

So now we know the real reason speed cameras must be stopped!
You've got to be kidding...
Multiple vehicles assigned to Ontario cabinet ministers have been slapped with over $3,300 in speeding-related fines -- many of them caught on automated speed cameras. Average: 17 km/h over the limit.
This is all @isaaccallan.bsky.social & his FOI skills.

Critics say he’s pandering to drivers over kids’ safety.

I have not been threatened by a home invasion, not even once, but everyday I feel threatened by cars speeding down my street. Let’s keep those cameras doing something useful, Doug.
The only people who don’t like photo radar are some of those who got caught speeding.
