There is a *trump ave* in Ottawa in the Central Park neighbourhood. I hope to God that it is up for a name change!
If you are interested in a story of a Canadian family's struggle to survive in the 1800s to early 1900s on the rugged Nova Scotia coast, this might interest you. It is somewhat of a prequel to Helen Dacey Wilson's two books of Tales from Barrett's Landing about the same family in the 1930s and 40s.
Carney simply should tell him that Canada is busy out raking the forests. Once the fires calm down, let's just tell 'em that we finished raking the forests and are sorry it took so long.
Gordie is resting at the Bény-sur-Mer Canadian Cemetery. My grandmother's nephew. Dad once told me how proud he felt seeing Gordie before shipping out to England, his arms around his parents in Spanish Ship Bay, Nova Scotia. When I see this picture, I wonder what his final thoughts were?
On D-Day 82 years ago, Canadians spearheaded the attack straight up the centre, secured Juno Beach within two hours and were clearing Germans out of Courseulles, Bernières and Saint-Aubin while the Brits and yanks were still pinned down far behind.
Happened upon this beauty during a stroll in the forest yesterday. Only blooming wildflower I encountered so pretty sure it was my Mum dropping by to see how I was doing without her on Mother's Day. Nice feeling.
I can't help it. He just reminds me of the Creature for the Lagoon.
Heavy Snowfall does not cause power outages. A weak grid unable to withstand normal and predictable weather events causes power outages. It is time for NS Power shareholders to take on the risk instead of taxpayers!
Unacceptably weak power grid! Over 12% of NS is without power during a normal winter snowfall with little wind.
CPC MPs will continue crossing the floor to the Liberals. This formalizes Poilievre's CPC alignment and loyalty to Trump and MAGA.
High winds don't cause power outages. Feeble infrastructure unable to withstand regular and normal weather events causes power outages!
A warning for Canada and the world. If you don't start loving me, you will deserve it when we bomb you. Bribes in paper bags will help.
It was a time of hardship from tariffs. My grandmother is in this school picture taken in Liscomb around 1905. Many great aunts are in the picture and my great uncle who died of tuberculosis he caught at Valcartier training with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. I have names of all in this picture.

The *issue at* play is constant boring consensus doom and gloom offered only with a side of contrived chuckles and stutters. Could someone, anyone offer something enlightening, thought provoking or simply different?

Some pictures my grandfather took while on the corvette Orillia K119. By 1941, the North Atlantic had become a battlefield, ships were sunk, sailors lost, saved and it was an oil slick out there.
Family who were wounded and made it back with deeper scars in their souls.
Family who didn't make it. They had mothers, fathers, siblings and unborn children at home some graves are deep in the sea only known to God. They were the best of us.
Yes. The customers are told they must pay handsomely to attract a talented CEO. Shareholders have no reason to remove him because taxpayers guarantee a profit and the only accountability is to an unelected Regulatory Board.
How do you spell "begging" to keep a job when no one really wants you?
Voters clearly enjoy the media dismissed and diminished, a strategy that has been successful for Trump, Poilievre, and Harper before them. I hope the Parliamentary Press Gallery realizes that they have a public relations/perception crisis and correct it because it is critical for the country. .../2
As is typical, NSPower fails again. Just arrived at our cottage with out-of-province guests. Usual power outage. Cause of outage is "Transmission Interruption" which means you don't have electricity because there isn't any electricity.
