No sunset to speak of in Ucluelet tonight so here's a Great Blue Heron in flight at Big Beach. It never occurred to me that the soles of their feet would be yellow.

A heron came into the frame just as I snapped this photo of the tree's reflection. Pretty generous of him, I think. #landscape #photography #nicomekl #Surrey #BC

Trump's regime has murdered people in the water. He has seized ships on the high seas. He has invaded a country and kidnapped their leader.
All bets are off with the United States.
Canada needs to build alliances with Europe and to be ready on the home front.

Welcome back to Canada, President Zelenskyy.
Today in Halifax, we committed critical new support to help Ukraine end Russia’s war of aggression, and to recover and rebuild. When peace comes — and it will come — Canada will be there for the Ukrainian people. Slava Ukraini. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

Lester B. Pearson, Canada's 14th prime minister, passed away on this date in 1972 at the age of 75.
He played with the Guelph Maple Leafs, served on the Expos board of directors and he used to interrupt parliamentary sessions to get baseball scores.

Next year will see a bit of a showdown between Enbridge Gas and two Ontario municipalities that are trying to resist a decades-old agreement that allows the fossil fuel company to build pipelines on public land free of charge. I really want you all to read about on Christmas Eve.
Waterloo Region, like Guelph, will present its case in a hearing before Ontario's energy regulator, arguing against renewing its 20-year contract that allows Enbridge Gas to build pipelines on public land for free. via @fatimabsyed.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/enbridge-gas...

So far, he's "not enough regulation and NO action."

Seeing Carney and Ford all chummy, chummy, like best buds, makes me want to vomit. Nature is screwed. So are we.
Premier Ford and I agree – one project, one review. We just signed an agreement that will streamline approval processes and get major infrastructure projects built faster in Ontario.
