I was sitting on the toilet, looked down and there was a possum looking back at me from his place on the floor tile.
Weird. I don't know if it's dirt or a blemish on the tile.
I've lived here for 6 years.
I try not to ask too many questions.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.
Let's learn more.

The image is a black-and-white political cartoon depicting a man in a suit standing behind a counter labeled "Republican Platform." He is holding a bottle labeled "Untaxed Whiskey, 20¢ Gal." in one hand and a piece of cloth labeled "War-Taxed Common Cloth, Tariff 84%" in the other. Above the counter, a sign reads, "If you don’t see what you want, ask for it." The cartoon, signed by W.A. Rogers, appears to satirize the Republican Party's economic policies, highlighting the disparity in taxation between luxury items like whiskey and essential goods like cloth.

I guess Trump is trying to annex Canada because it's the only way to make America Great. #Never51 #istandwithTrudeau #SlavaUkraine #SlavaUkraini

I'm sharing an image a day to celebrate the culture and history of Canada.
Today, it is the Battle of Queenston Heights on Oct. 13, 1812. Despite being outnumbered 3-1, the Canadians and British won the battle against the United States.

The image is a colorful historical painting depicting a chaotic battle scene, likely from the 19th century. It shows British soldiers in red coats and dark pants, some wearing tall black shako hats, engaged in combat with Indigenous warriors in the foreground. The soldiers are armed with muskets and bayonets, while the warriors wield tomahawks and other weapons. In the center, a British officer in a red uniform lies wounded or dead on the ground, supported by another soldier. Smoke and dust fill the air, obscuring parts of the battlefield, with tents and flags, including a Union Jack, visible in the background. The landscape features grassy terrain, hills, and trees under a cloudy sky.

In case you're wondering how cold it is out there, the cat-o-metre says it's "nose 1 inch away from the roaring woodstove degrees".
Dress accordingly

1.7 pounds over the weight limit. I wonder how strict Canada Post is about these prepaid boxes? Will it help that I brought them oranges on the picket line?

Watching Mary Poppins and I just picked up that the Robin they used is an American robin, not an English robin. That's when I realized at some point since I my children were little, I've become a bird nerd

Has anybody ever told their friends and family that they were going on vacation, and then just stayed home and puttered around the house uninterrupted by people they love?

On this day in 1976, The Band played their legendary final concert, known as The Last Waltz.
More than a dozen guests, including some fellow Canadians, took part to help create one of the greatest concert films ever made.
Let's learn more about that concert :)

🧵1/16
This image captures a live performance by a band, likely from the 1970s or 1980s, given the style of clothing and instruments. The band members are playing electric guitars, with one musician using a double-neck guitar, which was popular among rock guitarists of that era. The setting appears to be a stage with dim lighting and a spotlight effect, typical of rock concerts during this period. The audience is not visible, focusing the viewer's attention entirely on the performers and their interaction with their instruments.
