Remembering friends and other arts community members lost to AIDS in the 80s and 90s, and thinking of the many others throughout the years and world. This work was bequeathed to me by one of them.

More than 100 data centres have gone up in the Greater Toronto Area, on Lake Ontario. The Great Lakes region is drawing the facilities because of the favourable climate and abundance of water for cooling systems. What does this mean for our freshwater ecosystems?

Ontario has a lot to learn from the U.S. about the data centre boom, and what it means to the Great Lakes

I’ve always loved this time of year but living up here I love it even more because it’s the precious time between the snow and black flies lol. I’ve had a Ruffed Grouse hanging around the back of my house lately and this Pine Marten came to visit. Such a sweet animal.

Listened to Reveil most of yesterday and fell asleep to its sounds. Woke when it was over, went outside to a sky full of stars, the sound of peepers, and a soft roar from wind or water.

Today is Reveil and you can listen to the world at dawn as it moves across the earth. I participated for a number of years but not this year.

John Scott was the real deal. His brilliance and lack of artifice slices and speaks for his dark content reminding me the best art speaks for itself without the art talk required today. Not that I need reminding. Great exhibition @mcmichaelgallery.bsky.social

Here are my initial thoughts on the 2025 election - what it means for Canada in the short term and what it means for the movement of social democracy in the long.

I’ve become interested in Tom Thomson because of living here. I did not see the exhibition North Star at McMichael but recently got the deluxe catalogue out of the local library. I found this essay by Douglas Hunter particularly interesting.

I am very excited to have completed the first draft of my passion project paper (make that PPP), Canadian Dharma History- St. Catharines ON. I have some revisions to make but the finish line is close at hand. I need to find a home for it.

World Water Day! As we move into an election let’s ensure that our politicians are committed to water as a public trust and human right. (Let’s not forget who’s got his beady eye on our water.)

The conman from Mar-a-Lago promised to lower the price of eggs. Now he is going door to door in Europe begging for eggs.
In Canada egg prices remain stable. Here's my piece on Trump's disastrous handling of the crisis as avian flu threatens an even bigger disaster.

What a relief to be able to walk again! The trails where I live are made for snowmobiles not feet. It’s always been difficult in the winter and since my beloved dog died, I just didn’t get out. When I’m outside walking, I can’t help myself from calling his name. I’m so grateful for his life.
