Let’s go, CANADA!! 🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦

12:58 pm 4 July 2026 Clear Lake near Wainwright- still going, still gorgeous.

11:56 straight up, Clear Lake, near Wainwright. Glorious.

For everyone who loved my bread post and photo, here’s my how to make a starter: Making a sourdough starter using Richard Bertinet’s method. This worked beautifully for me, with one small change after Day 3. 🧵⬇️ /1

I love making bread, especially beautiful bread, and even more, I love making delicious savoury breads. This one is a sourdough with cheddar, green pimento olives, and fresh garden rosemary. I wish I could share it with everyone.

I am so so so sick of this neverending rain, but I love the thunder and intermittent flashes of lightning. Also love the lightning app BlitzortungLive with its little dots signifying strikes.

Happy Canada Day. We are a much tougher country than we were two years ago. A celebration of how we are coming through these wild times. Including some great Canadian jazz and rocknroll. @alexbird007.bsky.social @grievousangels104.bsky.social @meidascanada.ca youtu.be/q9EZ9Qn4ssE?...

Oh, I love this…!

A panorama from my chair on the deck. Yeah, I loves me my flowers! (Especially up on the deck where the 🦌can’t get at ‘em!)

I think we just passed oops.

I hope everyone reading this has the best day possible. 💖

We love Alberta and Canada. 🇨🇦 Your mission? Make that known loud and proud! We didn't choose this fight, but we're going to show up and win — for Alberta, for Canada.

The campaign to kick Kristi Noem out of the country is building momentum. My latest on people power in standing up to the monsters. @meidascanada.ca @meidastouch.com youtu.be/eqF6WdjjcQQ?...

A Michelle Obama Appreciation Post: I deeply admire your elegance, graciousness, beauty, accomplishments, relatability & effortless class. Thank you for being one of the greatest First Ladies of all time!🙏 Much ❤️ from one of your countless fans, Mar🐫

One does not expect to snort out loud laughing during the climax of Romeo and Juliet, but I dare you... www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

The screwworm epidemic will cost American cattle farmers $2 billion in losses. It is just the first in a long line of needless disasters that are coming since Elon Musk was allowed to trash key health, monitoring and science programs. My latest: charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-time-o...

Chicken marinating (Korean dak galbi), rice cakes soaking, bread dough stretched and folded, almost finished Matt Haig’s The Midnight Library, 40 min on the bike - I think I’ve earned a wee drink.

Oh so now we need to eat trillionaires first. Ok. They’re gonna need to be thoroughly washed, marinated and seasoned because on their own they have no taste. They do go bad quickly, so make sure you plan the feast in advance and provide plenty of tasty side dishes.

It is Indigenous History Month. Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories from Canada's Indigenous history. Today it is Mary Two-Axe Earley. Learn more in my Deep Dive 👇 buff.ly/1cJ2rfw

Good grief, the NYTimes has some so-fake-they-hurt ads lately! Free solar, miracle hearing aids, all available to me as an Albertan if I live "in these zip codes" Eye roll. But this one takes the AI cake. Check out the label on the bottle.

PSA: If you are unfamiliar with driving on 2-lane mountain highways & you have 14 cars behind you b/c you are driving 25 mph under the speed limit, pull over at the first turnout and keep doing that every time there are 5 cars behind you. It’s common courtesy. Your driving is dangerous.

Been watching people make weird pizzas on Instagram. As is tradition.

Come perceive me on Sun July 12 at @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social from 1-3pm, where I'll be signing SLASHER SUMMER! I'm not doing a reading or anything, feel free to drop by any time.

Yesterday evening, my blood pressure was a nasty surprise, 149/95, after weeks and months of under 120-80, fine, fine, fine. Took my BP this afternoon… 111/70. Would whatever Hell-demon is possessing my body right now please just F right off???

Pete Hoekstra may be an ass but the threat to our country is obvious. He has put our sovereignty on the table for the CUSMA talks. A foreign ambassador is openly undermining our right to be a nation. We will never kiss the gangster ring. Boycott everything American. youtu.be/5aNs7VeTPpI?...

You gotta read the comments!! 🤣

The official Fall list will be announced on June 7, but you can pre-order the lovely new edition of my novel Napier's Bones (in both print and ebook) right now from NeWest Press. Do send some love my publisher's way, and please, help spread the news! bookshop.newestpress.com/collections/...

Was just called a “commie” because I want all Canadians to be able to afford food. I want people who disagree with the premise that all Canadians should be able to afford food to say this sentence out loud in front of the mirror, “I believe only some people deserve to eat.”

Getting info from A.I. is like reading a novel with an unreliable narrator. You get info but always have to think, "Hmm... I wonder if that's true, or partly true, or sort of based on truth but twisted in some weird way, or just a total unhinged delusion." You need to see what other characters say.

Our camper is cursed. Or we are. Today we set out for daughter’s lake cabin, and 20 km from home, a hubcap, flew off, tearing part of the tire valve … which we discovered 30 min later, when driver beside us said you got a low tire. Home again one $$$ repair & 6 hrs later. Sigh…

Another zinger from Tana French’s The Keeper: “I wouldn’t sell Tommy Moynihan the steam off my piss,” Francie says. “I don’t trust that fucker.”

Tana French, The Keeper: "The kids threw a Halloween party, ... All the girls dressed up to the nines as sexy fairy murdered cheerleaders, you'd get more material in a bikini, and all the lads dressed up as themselves, lucky if they bothered their holes putting on a clean pair of trackie bot-toms."

Let’s Go Habs! #Canada #MontrealCanadiens #NHLStanleyCupPlayoffs

If people think Canadians are going to sit on the sideline while a bunch of Maple MAGA try to destroy my country, think fucking again. We're all invited to this party, whether we vote or not. Game on cranks. #cdnpoli

Biggest regret today: I didn’t stop in at the library as I drove through the villlage. Half an hour after I go home - and the library was closed - I saw that the latest Tana French was waiting for me. Arrrrrrrgggggh! Now I have to wait till 3:30 tomorrow to go grab it

Of course it’s raining. I dragged 8 jugs of water out to water my plants…. Good play, Mother Nature! ⛈️⚡️⛈️ And the smell of lightning and rain … glorious

I can smell the storm. Love the flash. ⚡️⚡️⛈️

First big flash and bang for me this spring at the lake. God, I love it. It reminds me of our dad waking us up at all our to come sit in the dark and watch the lightning and listen to the thunder. We were never scared of storms. Too many good memories. Love you, Dad ❤️

Where does "The Habs" nickname come from?

Yesterday and today, I read Paul Tremblay’s novel, “The Cabin at the End of the World.” Then I re-watched M Night Shyamalan’s movie based on the book, “Knock at the Cabin.”

It’s time to stand up for the country we love - and the province we love. Time to stand up for authentic Alberta values. Whatever happens today, I’m saying yes to Canada, and no to politics of hate and division. #cdnpoli #ableg #abpoli

I think it's time for a new remote-sensing thermometer. Ours is reporting from Venus, maybe?

Canada says Fuck You to Trump and his billionaire minions. Again.

Interesting article on how vaccines might prevent dementia. It’s fun when new scientific techniques are able to sort of upend some of our ideas about how immunity works.
