Hi there. I'm just starting to settle in. If we haven't met before, I'm primarily interested and post on Education, Health/Care, caring for the Planet, tilting at windmills around the world, the wisdom of the ages, smiling and humour, and supporting each other in challenging times. Welcome.

On this Day of Remembrance for the internment of citizens of Japanese descent, I think of my grandparents, Aoki Sadayoshi and Aoki Masako. They immigrated to Cumberland, BC, in 1918, answering the request of the Japanese-Canadian community there for Japanese teachers. (1/5)

#PierrePoilievre questioned the financial compensation for survivors of Residential Schools, suggesting that Indigenous peoples needed to learn the value of hard work more than they needed financial compensation.

Arggg. Please help… Suddenly cannot sign into #Bluesky on my computer but still can on my phone. 😡 Tried all the suggestions online - nothing has worked, and I can’t find any “support” contact anywhere. Appears to be a known bug - can anyone please help? Thanks

From today's Globe+Mail, Canadians are paying attention. Poilievre's polling tanked when he couldn't get off his broken record of broken Canada even when sovereignty was at stake. He has NEVER BUILT OR FIXED ANYTHING. This is too precarious a time to pick the guy that only stands and points fingers🇨🇦

I ran into some lameo Neocon touting the tired PP lie that crime was rampant in Canada & bail was out of control.
So just to clarify for the poorly informed, Canada has some issues it is addressing but, as seen here the dark green out of 160 countries are the safest in... the... world. #Canada 🍁🇨🇦🍁

Canada subsidizes oil sold to the USA, selling it at a 25% discount. That costs Canadians billions every year that could go towards building our infrastructure and social programs. No more free ride for Trump's America. End the subsidy. Sell at fair market value. #cdnpoli #peipoli
