And over a month later, we are STILL under threat. Now, from a lightning strike fire to the south of us.

What a week. Town is evacuated. We are surrounded by a wildfire. The smoke is so thick up here, I can taste it.

At least somebody dropped off some mints to help get the taste out of my mouth...

Still too many people here that could leave with their own vehicles, should leave, but haven't done so yet. You can't fix stupid.

I know Alberta (small minority) has been talking a bunch of shite about leaving #Canada, but....

We're pretty glad you showed up in force, today, with a couple of #WaterBombers!

We're not the #Whiteshell up here... we're the #Brownshell, but the support is nice.

Hopefully, they will get #Manitoba #Wildfire number NO002 under control before it advances to Zed Lake and the sprinklers won'tneed to be activated.
It's just getting hotter all week out here on The Raggedy Edge, but the winds continue to be favorable.

Good afternoon, all. Please allow me to introduce my first grandchild...

@theauthorguy.bsky.social Yas!!!!

Just in time for Victoria Day Weekend!

And no #Tariffs, since it was pre-ordered last year!

At the end of the federal campaign I heard about a #firefighter complaining he couldn't afford to live in #Ajax #Ontario, and was 34 living with his mom.

It's a big country, with different markets, needs, and opportunities.

"I want to be there", is the biggest housing problem.

Note: The lowest current Teacher Certification Level in MB is Class 5. All lower classes are pre-2001(?).
Our school serves breakfast. Another local non-profit serves a hot lunch.

But, that's Canada, which "some" people don't even consider to be a "real country".

The Federal Conservative Party died a long time ago.

It was replaced in an internal coup so quiet that even the Conservative Party Members didn't see themselves having their brand co-opted by the Reform and Alliance Members.

Mulroney has been spinning in his grave a very long time, now.

Yes, but that's far from what happened. The far right movement up here looked more like it was south of the border, right up until it became clear that calmer heads would prevail.

Only seen a few saying "rigged", so far.

I voted this morning. Hopefully, a lot of other Canadians will see this before they vote, today.

Even in the off-season, there's still a lot of people at #NiagaraFallsCanada, but it was peaceful enough to enjoy.

One more spot off my bucket list.

PP is having a Poo-Poo in his pantses right now...

His diaper could really use a change.

Pause your #doomscrolling regularly is good advice.

Look! Corgis!
March 17, 2025 at 9:45 PM
Spring arrives in about a week. Corgis were enjoying even more fresh snow today.

I'm hoping it will finally melt by mid-May this year.
