It's amazing how many groundhogs I've seen out and about in Montreal this summer. Population explosion? I know "warmer" (technically speaking, I'd never classify them as such) winters has led to an increased rat/mice population....same for groundhogs maybe?

Groundhog on the green lawn outside Polytechnique/Université de Montréal.

Hello, emotional support dumplings.

Provinces most affected by Trump tariffs (courtesy of RadCan):

BC seems most impacted, with Quebec following. Ontario is third-most impacted.

Finally got some sunshine, and was at an event in Mile End not long before sunset with a high balcony:

Mont Royal at the right, in shadow, Montreal skyline on the left. Some buildings and green trees in foreground. Clouds above, in varying shades of blue, on a pale blue sky.

Montreal, from Polytechnique (Université de Montréal) campus

A shot I took last week of a lake around sunset, an hour north of Montreal

Green trees in background, some light-touched clouds in the sky, lake reflecting dramatic clouds below

Smallmouth bass on bottom, husband's size-10 foot for comparison.

This was catch and release.

Norway gets the Terrible Maps treatment. :D

What Norwegians apparently think about certain parts of the country. My folks hailed from "seaside cabins," so this explains my deep-seated need to live on the coast. ;)

My 8yo's election poster for class rep still sits on our fridge. (He won, this was in Oct). Every time I look at this, I smile.

Je déteste la pollution, les voitures, la violence, les ignorations.

I hate pollution, cars, violence, and ignorance.

My fave tea mug:

Shhhh

Soon to be conversational

NOW you can speak

I love these murals painted on (what I'm assuming is) social housing in downtown Montreal.

Side of a wall painted in brilliant cascading blue to look like a moving body of water, surrounded by green grass.

Ooh, a boat arrived !!

Same photo as above, this tîme with a black, red, and white boat behind it.

Jax Jacobsen@jaxjacobsen· Jul 7

Currently in Sainte-Catherine, Qc

Same homepage, i norsk

Same red background with Haaland, and Hallelujah written behind him in white.

Jax Jacobsen@jaxjacobsen· Jul 6

Aftenposten homepage rn. (Major newspaper in Norway, based in Oslo)

Big image of Haaland, with HAALELUIAAAAAA!!! written behind him.

Venus is visible.

Sunset sky, with Venus a shining light in lower center. Building on bottom..

Also Hudson, with the approaching rain

Three trees in the distance on the riverside, clouds in distance

A shot from Hudson, Quebec yesterday

Boat masts aplenty, water and green land in back.

8yo singing "Allez les Bleus"

Back of 8yo boys head, wearing a blue soccer jersey with EODOM written on back (some Montreal company). Watching France -Sweden match on laptop, on wood table. Door and another room in back right, maps of local bike routes on back right.

Got a long ride in, before the storms hit.

Blue sky, black asphalt bike path, river with trees and grass.

Wtf is this:

BBC News is now only available by paid subscription??!!

Jax Jacobsen@jaxjacobsen· Jun 24

Ofc the 1st person I see is someone I've been owing an email response to, for over 2 weeks.

Crowd gathers in Outremont to watch Can-Sui. Some umbrellas, white chairs, a lot of people.

This graph really drives home why last winter was such a miserable doozy for Mtl residents:

Graph, blue line is precipitation, red line is costs to remove precipitation. Massive spike from 2024 to 2025 in both.

Anyway, this was the boy earlier today, about to kick off this never-ending weekend of sports:

Finally debating the personalised T-shirt I had made over the winter, when some CAQ/PQ politico made a snide remark about immigrants.

Olive-Green T-shirt that says "Immigrante" in white lettering.

Jax Jacobsen@jaxjacobsen· Jun 9

So I did manage a bike ride today. Somewhat perplexed about how to get back, because Christoph-Columb is being ripped up on the downtown direction. Ideas?
