For the first Halloween in 14 years, I don't have a dog barking every time a trick-or-treater shows up at the door. Kinda sucks.

I am now starring in "Breaking Bad: Canadian Edition". You know, where the protagonist gets cancer and gets treatment for free because of universal health care, but complains about having to pay for parking. #Canada

It's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in #Canada, which I am marking by reading "21 Things You May Not Know About The Indian Act". Worthwhile #reading. #books

I was headed to the gym, then the heavens opened and the rain poured down and I discovered I am made of sugar.

Wasn't swept up in the rapture. It's like bombing a job interview.

@jenniferjcoldwater.bsky.social is doing a book signing today from 3 to 5 if you happen to be in Woodland Hills, L.A. theopenbook.net/woodland-hil... #writing

Hey!!!! If you’re in #yyj Bolen Books has 3 copies of If a Bumblebee Lands on Your Toe! Ahead of the Canadian release date!! 🐝 🇨🇦

Hi #yyj, the TC book sale is this weekend.

Did you buy a book from an independent Canadian bookstore on Saturday, the 26th? If so, you can join the CIBD contest! #books #Canada #canlit www.indiebookstores.ca/cibd-contest/

Didn't register to vote? You still can. Also, it'll be slamming busy for the first few hours and then quieter until about 4, then slamming busy again. At least, that was my experience the 4 days of advance #voting. #Canada #election

How's your evening going? I could barely fit a glass over this big boy.

Introducing the 2025 #CreativeNonfiction finalists for the @RBC #BronwenWallace Award for Emerging Writers: ◣ Huyền Trân ◥ Phillip Dwight Morgan ◢ Graham Slaughter Congratulations! writerstrust.com/BronwenWallace #canlit

Volunteer spots are full on Saturday. Phew! But you can bring your papers down and get them shredded securely. #yyj #events #VictoriaBC

The view from the right... Good to hear. Goodish, at least. #resist

The lineups at polling stations are short or non-existent today. #Canadian #election #elxn45

Advance polls open across the country... #Canada #election

Advance polls open at 9 this morning for the #Canadian #election.

Drop off your books, #yyj

I just had another of those painful #BoycottAmerica conversations with the owner of a small site I've used for years. I canceled my subscription and explained that it was because of the US slide into autocracy. I got a polite and personal response from the owner. I do hope the decent Americans win.

Volunteer opportunity or donation opportunity in #VictoriaBC. Well, #Saanich, to be fair. I plan to be there. You should come anyway. 😀 #yyj

Vancouver Island BC Canada.❤️🇨🇦 I created this geometric #map #art by hand-drawing each little shape. I picked the colours from actual photos of the Island - ocean blues, forest greens and tan/soft blue tones for beaches. www.mapsasart.com/products/van... #bskyart #shopcanadian #CANartist #travel

BRUISE is written by a Canadian author, published by a Canadian-owned publisher, and printed in Canada. Elbows up. #buycanadian linktr.ee/adrianmarkle

I'm giving up on NYT Cooking and sites like Allrecipes. Any suggestions of replacements? BBC is one, but any others? #cooking #boycottamerica #buycanadian #buyeuropean

I am relieved for her. #RussiaIsATerroristState

They’re gutting all agencies that oversee safety and regulations. American products? No thanks, I don’t have a deathwish. Also, it is simply the right thing to do. They openly threaten to annex us, so they don’t deserve our hard-earned dollars. #buylocal #buycanadian #elbowsup #never51st 🇨🇦

Sports brands and the country of origin. Stole this from Facebook. Looks pretty accurate to me at first glance. #LeBoycott #BoycottAmerican #BuyCanadian #BoycottUSA

Hey #yyj, you can vote at 722 Johnson up until April 22. Avoid the lines if you've made up your mind. There are going to be lines during advance polls and, especially, on #election day. #canpoli

The upside of #VictoriaBC is not much winter. The downside is it is very easy for the weeds to get the drop on you. Yes, that is a wheelbarrow full of weeds from 1 bed. #GardeningInCanada
