Like, maybe the overall quality of life would improve if we built fun and friendship into the 2/3rds of life after marriage and kids? Maybe fewer men would be in crisis and end up on true crime specials? And health would improve? Just riffing here.

Avoid the TOOTHPASTE aisle. Avoid the DEODORANT aisle. Avoid the LAUNDRY aisle. So many great Canadian brands that our chains don’t support; find them here: canshoponline.ca

From what I can see, he is applying a 50% tariff to most Canadian goods that are supposed to be covered by CUSMA. There is no deal we can have with the US as long as this man is president. I can't see how this is going to help him going into the midterms, but it's going to hurt us too.

Spent some time in the sun watching honey bees collect nectar. Note: Need to plant more white clover.

There is so much crime in my region, the four police on duty stopped by the local ice cream parlour for a snack tonight.

Thanks to some much-needed rain up north, much of the lingering smoke in southern and eastern Ontario will be ushered out of the province by early Sunday. #ONstorm #ONwx https://ow.ly/nLmV50ZpcSy

History is repeating itself. Minus the dead guys.

I thought Replicans believed in "Acts of God" which is exactly how Canadian wildfires start. Take it up with the big guy! Sanction that firestarter!

If FIFA really wanted a France versus England showdown, they should have played on the Plains of Abraham. I'm probably the only person who finds this amusing.

Delaying a beach trip for three days because of wildfire smoke only to get to the beach and discover that two-thirds of it is underwater is a great way to be reminded that climate change is definitely a hoax and not having tangible and escalating impacts on all of us.

If we didn't have wars we would have a lot of other ways to spend that money. Just sayin'.

Wildfires threats and smoke impact in North America.
