Hello Ontario!! I was just rowing in gorgeous sunshine on Lake Ontario in Toronto yesterday and this morning we wake up to snow-not enough for tobogganning where I am today, but maybe soon. Not going to lie-I love it-and yet we’ll have to drive in it 😞!
A crow flew nearby. “Hello, Crow,” shouted Toad.

Cue T@#”p blaming Canada for sending cold air South
USA
Polar vortex to bring temps as cold as 20 to 30 degrees below average as far as Florida
As Arctic warms it weakens Polar Jet Stream that normally keeps Arctic air locked in Arctic, but in a weakened state allows Arctic air to drift further South

🙏🏼🙏🏼 get this creep out of politics!!
🚨 CBC: Poilievre’s “budget week” turned into a political disaster.

One MP crossed the floor. Another resigned. He even forgot to file his own budget amendment — leaving his caucus in chaos.

Now, insiders tell CBC MPs are openly doubting his leadership.

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”

A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.

It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.

Since then, it’s only gotten worse.

Do the steps sound familiar?

So much for those trusted, educated individuals trying to tell us COVID is just the flu.
They had no clue. They lied.

Amazing to see “empathy” being so explicitly targeted like this.

You either have empathy, or you’re a psychopath.

We cannot make a society worth having by eliminating empathy.
"there is Darwinian competition between societies and the winner will be the one that rejects empathy in favor of hard but necessary choices" should set off alarm bells from a guy this powerful.

(Instead of 'societies' it might have been 'races' in the original German, but clear enough)

Who knew? Sliced like my Grandma used to do!!
Tip👆 To ensure your ice cream stays fresh and creamy for an extended time, transfer it to a reusable airtight container once opened.

😊 And remember to share a scoop or a slice with friends and family to spread the joy!
