There was a federal private member’s bill (Bill C-306) in 2011 that would have required MPs who crossed the floor to vacate their seat and run in a by-election under their new party affiliation. The Conservatives who were in power then voted overwhelmingly against it. #cdnpoli

The thick snow makes everything seem so cosy. I was tempted to turn the lights off, but am currently inspired with the view.

Do you know the story behind the Tree for Boston?

After the 1917 Halifax Explosion, Boston sent a train of supplies and relief personnel to help survivors. In 1918, Nova Scotia sent Boston a Christmas tree as thanks. The tradition was officially revived in 1971 and continues today. 🎄✨

Hard to believe the Canada flag in the centre, above the horizon line, is a huge one flying on the other side of highway 401. It's peaceful, quiet and cold here in the yard.

An uneven field of snow at dusk. In the distance the setting dun creates a babd of orange light that gives way to a periwinkle blue. In the centre, at the horizon, a Canada flag flies.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

A Lot in this article of him spending time with Trump so his assertion is pointless.
I'm guessing his actions have affected his wine sales so he's attempting some lukewarm damage control

I've filtered Ottawa's traffic collision data to show only collisions with injuries for each year, and then added the speed camera locations present in those years.

It looks like speed cameras have made the roads much safer.

You know you're from Canada when you tell yourself that this is the year you will beat the snow and get your winter tires on.
And then the snow comes and you're like everyone else in town calling the garage to see when they can get you outfitted.

Nice night last night for a fire in anticipation of the first flurries to fall today.
Dog just wants to know where I'm hiding the treats.

#semiruralliving
Night falling, the sky is deep blue and the leafless trees in the background are silhouettes. A firepit is lit and side eyeing you like you owe her money is a large brown dog. Here is your seat at the unfinished firepit. A place to watch the day turn to night on a cobalt blue muskoka chair draped in sheepskin.
