Canada responds to Trump’s potash tariff threat youtu.be/HMTkySXip7s?...

G’night all.

If anybody knows of a radio station hiring a late night DJ to spin Jazz records this cold has left me with the perfect voice for the roll. Although sometimes I just sound like Lucille Ball after all the smoking.

I think maybe I’ve been spending too much time on my phone.

We’re prepping for storage the latest contributions to the community seed bank we founded two years ago. We just sealed up our 400th cultivar.

No American guy on CBC Power&Politics it is not Canadian and Mexican negotiators job to make sure Trump gets a win in this review of CUSMA. It’s their job to protect their counties interests. Trump is not a negotiator. That is a lie he’s been selling for 50 years. He’s a chaos agent.

John Rustad was his own worst enemy. Full of himself and disrespectful to his caucus colleagues. Had the BCCP won the election by the same margin they lost, his behaviour would have collapsed his government months ago. The question now is, does the party have anyone competent to lead it. I think not

Tuckered out after a good run with her pals up at Orchid Ridge this morning.

Someone is just a little tuckered out.

Christmas came early. A young friend is a potter and some time ago I floated the idea that she should make proper beer drinking vessels. She popped by the house with this beauty today. The first of its kind. She also made us the bread bowl behind it.

So you’re an American healthcare professional looking to move to Canada. Here’s some tools. The first link is right here on our little island the second covers the region. Island life is pretty sweet. gabriolamed.ca/join-our-team/ engageq.notion.site/Nanaimo-and-...

Thanks to Andrew Scheer for reminding Canadians that he’s a liar and not a very good one. U.S. tanker traffic does not travel through Hecate Strait or any Canadian waters. Because there is a tanker ban. They sail out in international waters from ports in Alaska south or east to their destination.

Window maker Hazy IPA from Backcountry Brewing in Squamish. Nectar of the gods by the fire.

Lily has a new pal up at the farm and I’m desperately hoping his name is Garth.

ALAN!

The City. Villainy is afoot. But..Canadian villainy so like no big deal eh.

youtu.be/jV9mEkvJAbE This is brilliant.

Boy NDP temp leader Don Davies gave an excellent example of talking out of both sides of one’s mouth when asked About how his party voted on the budget.It’s also interesting to note Andrew Scheer waited until the budget had the votes before he voted no.Are we to believe he’d have abstained if it was

I can haz sammich?

Someone’s a little sleepy after a trip to the vet for her vaccinations.

@timethridge2.bsky.social Hey Tim! Your seeds have been catalogued and added to the collection for winter storage.

So we go to an afternoon matinee at the theatre today. The lady at will calls says t “oh you’ve got good seats.” I should have known this was a sign. An hour later I was dragged on stage, put in a sailors suit in front of a full house danced and sang Jingle Bell Rock. ochristmastea.com#reviews

Thanks to my friend Graham I ticked a bucket list item today. I can tick “See a Gay, French Canadian Farmer chase a deer off his farm,into the bush while yelling “You’re still too close!” Then “Now It’s just standing there staring at me!” off my list My bucket list is absurdly challenging.

The Beautyberry is doing its thing out in the garden. 🌱🇨🇦#Garden # Gardening

Yo Canadian fam.. youtube.com/shorts/xmY7E...

Beer thirty at last. Took its sweet time showing up today. I was told retirement would be boring. If that’s what it’s supposed to be then I’m a total retirement fail.

0.3lbs per citizen. But hey big pharma is going to make a bundle selling drugs. That at the end of the day is what this is about. They wouldn’t have agreed to the price if they weren’t going to make a significant profit.

So budget day went well for the CPC. One MP resigned from caucus and is considering crossing the floor, others are Said to be considering doing the same.

My wife was just clipped by an owl as she walked out to the truck. It was a drive by hooting!

Halloween Isle of the arts style. There’s a stretch of road where we place our pumpkins and the “elves” come along and light them. At the end of the evening the candles are removed and in the wee hours the deer feast!

A little light reading on a rainy day. I’m a obsessed with seed these days. If you have questions friends hit me up. Every community should have its own seed bank.

Stacking firewood ceases to be a chore when it’s the answer to the question “how do you heat your house over the winter?”

3 pitch’s 2 dingers. Not the start you’re looking for if you’re a pitcher. #worldseries

Preston Manning has declined to the point where he thinks Alberta would have a say in any negotiations with the U.S. no you meathead, you would not. He also wildly over estimates the desire of Albertans to make such a move. Also, Preston Manning is still alive?

Ok hear me out. The next 4 jays just lean in and take one to force a walk across the plate.

Today in our wee valley. Started. Going.

Pro tip: Don’t chase your guitar therapy session with a half hour of mandolin and ukulele ( 4 and 8 string) practice. Your ulnar nerve will not be pleased with you. #frozenfingers

B.C. Politics are never dull especially where conservatives are concerned. The party elects a mad man to lead them and catches a break when the other right wing party changes its name and then vanishes up its own backside. Their leader stomps all over his candidates ethics and goes full, ageist

It’s just not a fair fight. Ok rain be damned…let’s go Lily.

Canada responds to Trump’s unhinged and fact free rant about the Reagan speech ad.

Remember:

I did not have the dodgers getting mercy ruled in the 6th on my World Series card.

youtu.be/S1yYGb1U31o?... Canada responds to ICE brutality.

@timethridge2.bsky.social Hey Tim just wanted to let you know I’ve secured a spot to grow the watermelons here on our island next year.Since we’re not sure if their actual name we’re going with “Ethridge Orange”.I’m hoping to talk a seed grower I know on a neighbouring island into growing some too

substack.com/@crazybt/not... A short new piece is up on my Substack. Warning! Canadian content involving @todmaffin.com and moving to Canada. If you want to, ignore the warning and dive in.

Rest well Ace, You made KISS matter to 15 year old me.

So I’m only just learning that Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves are doing Waiting for Godot on broadway. Bill and Ted are on Broadway Waiting for Godot. Maybe the world ain’t so messed up after all.

How it started. How it’s going #61today

I must be on a list because I’m getting loads of new follows. So thank you to whoever included me. Also Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate in the correct month. 🇨🇦
