Canada has long been committed to a two-state solution — an independent, viable, and sovereign Palestinian state living side by side with the State of Israel in peace and security.

I really like our Canadian Prime Minister, Mark Carney. He’s never crass or bombastic. I’m so glad to be Canadian. Let politeness, respect and tolerance reign.

Canada doesn’t have any desire to be a 51st state. But if California feels the desire to become an 11th province I would spend a lot of money on wine and travel. Just saying. 🥰

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.
Life on this pale blue dot will be resilient - whether we’re part of it or not. #science #history

I got rid of FB because of constant reposting. If you have a thought then word it yourself! Politics, gardening, trail running, a nice recipe. Use your own noggin!

Today I found a pile of rose hips under a red twig dogwood. I’ve seen this before but have no idea what critter would do this? It isn’t a place where other people walk (like, not at all). Any ideas?

I snowshoed all winter in these woods, but it’s easier now NOT to walk the straight and narrow. 🙂

Crackled ice on a wetland pond this morning. I love the elongated crystals which were a lot more sparkling in reality.

It’s a privilege to run alongside people that you really respect. Thank you to Chrystia, Frank, and Karina for running such positive campaigns over these past 2 months.
Together, we showed Canadians that the future of our Party is ambitious – and that we are ready to win.

Headline on CBC News: “Donald Trump has some thoughts on Canada’s upcoming election.” Donald Trump has thoughts? Coulda fooled me. He was raised coddled and is coddled now by his followers, but he has no real insight, education. He can’t even seem to reduce the cost of groceries for Americans.

I just wish I could beam some democratic energy and love toward all Americans who feel so dismayed by the state of democracy. The whole world is involved now. Peace be with those of us who actually feel like we are all sisters and brothers around the world. ❤️
