So Trump is demanding trade concessions from Canada in order to start the CAMUS review process. For a start he wants American booze back on Canadian shelves. Ok. We want him to go on U.S. television and apologize to Canada for all his 51st state bullshit and publicly apologize to PM Carney and

Had a good day fundraising for the seed bank yesterday at the the farmers market. I clearly missed the email about the dress code.

Damn. Another 6 weeks in the splint the bone is healing but very slowly.

So what’s going on with Bluesky?

The blank canvas. Many many things will be planted in the coming week. Yes as a matter of fact we do live on a dirt road. #Gardening 🇨🇦🌱

News item: unverified footage released by Iran refutes Trump’s claim that U.S. naval vessels passed through the strait of Homuz.

The cauliflower we over wintered all of a sudden decided to head up. We’d almost given up on these but I guess the soil temperature has come up to their liking and now we have four lovely heads. #Gardening 🌱🇨🇦

Any pardons for members of an out going president, his staff, cabinet and their staff should be a decision made by the incoming president to ensure any criminal activity cannot be covered up. This would encourage staffers to speak out when their bosses are knowingly breaking the law lest they face

Spring! #garbening 🌷🌱🇨🇦

Lily doing Lily things.

When I get a new follower

Ok, Everyone who gave me a hard time because I said it wasn’t a big deal that Carney didn’t go all hot n heavy with the condemnation because it really wouldn’t change a damn thing because Trump doesn’t respond to that kind of thing…. See you in two weeks. Stay safe, you’re all good people.

It occurs to me that if Trump does nuke Iran tonight, he’ll no longer have a plausible argument against Putin doing the same in Ukraine. I don’t think he will, he got what he wanted. The world’s undivided attention. That’s the dream of an attention addict like Trump.

Lily on deck!

Not the strait of Hormuz. #Galiano

Iran Imposes New ‘Cash, Grass, Or Ass’ Fee For Strait Of Hormuz

The world just got a lot less kind and a damn sight less funny. So long dear Eric Prasad. You were one of ours and at just 35 gone far too soon. See ya when I get there my boy, rest well.

We learned last night that a young friend of ours was felled by an aneurysm. Today his family will face making the unimaginable decision, having to give the ok to take him off life support. Letting him go. At just 35. We’ve known Eric since he was in high school with our nephew. 1/

A Lily has popped up in the herb garden.

I realize that the U.S. Olympic gold medal men’s team incident is, in internet terms, ancient history. But while out walking the dog today I was trying to remember if Canadian hockey ( which I realize is redundant) has had a similar controversy. We have and this is it. youtu.be/TNfemi5_Qe4?...

Trump’s comments about the passing of Robert Mueller were despicable. He’s already seen to it that his own grave will reek of badly urine it will have to be registered as a toxic waste site so I guess he has nothing to lose.

Hey Doug Ford, instead of asking other provinces to back off on their EV policies why don’t you and your auto manufacturer buddies open your eyes and look at what’s happening in the world of oil and gas and lean into EV manufacturing. That’s the smart move. Clinging to old business models

Well this is a strange sensation. It’s peaceful, we planted a load of seed today. Some for our garden, some to be sold as seedlings to support our seed bank. The dog is asleep by the fire, 32 is on her way to spend the week and Sandy Denny is spinning on the platter. I think this is contentment.

The second busiest intersection on our wee island. It’ll get a little busier in about 20 Minutes when the next ferry arrives and then it’ll be this again. Island life has its challenges but I wouldn’t trade the peace and this community for anything.

Did I just mess with my kids head because I’m a silly Dad? youtu.be/rDfRd0IZ-Vo?...

Trying to read a text message while really drunk.

If all goes well the pins in the top of my finger come out tomorrow and after some more time to heal, we start on the path to getting it back in shape to play guitar. Wish me luck. (The dressing is dirty because I was fixing the BBQ today.) Aboid electric pruners, they are unbelievably dangerous.

If you bought an album when it came out a long time ago do not take a moment to figure out how long ago. 48 years…😳 youtube.com/playlist?lis...

So today, after the BC Conservatives voted in favour of it, independent MLA from Kelowna Tara Armstrong tabled a private members bill to repeal the B.C. Human rights code because she wants bigotry to be great again. It’s not bad enough she went on an anti trans rant before the Tumbler Ridge 1/

Atta be Jersey!

Learned some troubling things today about GE and GM seeds. Probably the dumbest was Bayer genetically engineering a variety of mustard green to taste less mustardy. Basically what they do is take out the gene that makes it tasty give it sanding and put it back. Then when you grow out the plant 1/

You can’t win them all. But you can always be proud of the team.

I swear if Trump says a word about this I’ll go to DC and Jersey him.

cicadaseeds.ca/blogs/news/w... The post did something good! They interviewed our friend Michalina! Michi and her partner Darwyn are dear friends. Her company sells perennial vegetable seed grown on their farm across the harbour and up island from us.

@timethridge2.bsky.social Hey Tim! Little update on the watermelon seeds. Some friends on a neighbouring island have agreed to plant some seeds on their farm. So hopefully we’ll have them growing on two of the southern gulf islands this summer.

Wow.

This is interesting.

Timeline cleanse. What are you interested in this week? Let’s chat.

Her despicable comments regarding the events in Tumbler Ridge should be more than enough to make the people In her riding demand Tara Armstrong resign immediately. If she refuses to I hope the folks in her riding will get onboard with the movement to recall her. She’s a disgrace.

This morning my heart is with the good folks up in Tumbler Ridge.

This is my Grand dog Pricilla staring down a Moose. She’s been training as a sniffer dog. They put 8 boxes in front of her and she ID’d the two scents she was supposed to in 21 seconds today. She won the competition in a walk. I’m very proud of her.

Because supporting a president who’s policies could land some of your students and/or their families in a cage several states away with no legal representation, definitely doesn’t make you seem like a serious risk to the safety of those kids. Especially if ICE showed up.

Trump complained no one could understand a word Bad Bunny sang. But this song,which is mostly gibberish and is so poorly lip synced at TPUSA’s event by Kid Rock that everyone now owes 91 year old Frankie Valli an apology, is perfectly understandable I bet. youtube.com/shorts/_N9X0...

Party leaders should be required to have a security clearance. If they refuse there is likely a reason. Having the ability to lie about national security matters because you’re ill informed about them is not a good reason to avoid a security clearance. It’s a cover for something you wish to hide.

Happy #forestfriday
