Happy First Day of Autumn! This is my doggie nephew celebrating in a gorgeous field of fall flowers. Fabulous 🌺

My roses are still blooming and you can really smell sea salt in the breeze today #Saturday

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

An historical map is worth revisiting when a country is evicting all “immigrants”.

"Here’s a section of the CBO report that Trump and his courtiers missed: 'We estimate that the changes in tariffs will reduce the size of the U.S. economy...The increases in tariffs will make consumer goods and capital goods more expensive.'" www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-four...

Everyone needs a good laugh and we sure had some on Sunday. John Mulaney, Fred Armisen, Nick Kroll and Mike Burbiglia came to Halifax for the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival. Almost 10,000 of us were on the grounds below our Citadel Hill fort, on a beautiful summer night, for a magical experience. ❤️

Just another beautiful summer day in Nova Scotia! Oh, and the local hockey greats gather to gander at the Stanley Cup, thanks to Mr. Marchand. #NHL

It’s a perfect day at Peggy’s Cove, the most photographed destination in Canada. And home to the best lobster roll at Tom’s. A nice breeze, succulent lobster and blue skies. Heaven on earth 😊 #NovaScotia

Nice to see Ashley McBryde singing Your Cheating Heart on @cnn.com It’s a classic by Nova Scotia’s own Hank Snow!Happy Fourth of July to my American friends and Blueskiers 🇺🇸

Happy Canada Day! Starting mine by watering the flowers and I can see folks on the beach already. ☀️ Just another peaceful, beautiful Canadian day 🇨🇦

The digital services tax was put in place so Canadians could get at least some revenue from the US billionaires who have decimated local advertising in our newspapers, radio/TV stations & community papers and also wiped out retail shops. Most pay NOTHING to Canada. #resist

Aaanndd Trump leaves the G7 without even putting on his jammies. I didn’t win my bet though because I was sure he wouldn’t turn up at all. I just flew out of Calgary, so at least it will be less of a security nightmare without him there

Of course I got some lobster as a gift for my birthday. 😆 All cooked by my brother-in-law, an actual Coast Guard sea captain! Lobster are work to crack — 45 minutes to do two, but we have a big bowl for dinner. Yum. 🦞

If it wasn't for Trump, there would be no need for a "dome" 🙄

I was showing my listing on St. Margaret’s Bay last night and the feeling of calm and peace in that house is incredible. Nova Scotia is THE best place to live 🙂

Lisa and Rich Solava and Denise Utter were friends with Robert Prevost long before he became pope — and have the selfies to prove it. They are in Vatican City for Leo’s inauguration. www.wbez.org/religion/202...

I spied a Mackerel sky on a drive to Yarmouth this week. The clouds resembles the skin of a mackerel fish and it’s a harbinger of rainy weather. A little Bluesky and sun behind the mackerel though!

A beautiful morning in Nova Scotia! This is the view from my home office window 🙂 A lobster boat is checking traps, while a Coast Guard ship stands ready in St. Margaret’s Bay. The local marina is called Shining Waters and that name holds true today. 💎 Have a good Bluesky day!

From the great N.S. cartoonist Bruce Mackinnon in 2018! Yes, we’ve been here before.

Comrade Trump has spoken. Apparently without even reading a summary of the history of Russia’s war on Ukraine 🙄

For those people who live in Nova Scotia or who are interested in following life in Canada's Ocean Playground, this Starter Pack is for you. It's full, but feel FREE to follow along. ❤️ 🇨🇦 ⛱️ go.bsky.app/79ZxLBC

Follow The Money. Another Trump insider made suspicious bond buys leading up to Trump’s Tariff Announcement. Marjorie Taylor Greene bought as much as $500 K in bonds in the days before Trump crashed the stock market. Greene will make a fortune on her T-bills while the stock market tanks. #ProudBlue

I am watching Brooke Rollins, Agriculture Secretary, lie again on @cnn.com about dairy from Canada. She says “We can’t sell our dairy in Canada”. That is not true. And she would have to be an idiot in her position if she doesn’t know that. This intentional ignorance is an embarrassment.

Do you know where this is? My daughter is in Portugal and visited a …. McDonalds 😮🤩

What strikes me about the Hegseth - Waltz Signal leak is the lack of empathy and respect about the military attack. Using flag, fist and fire emojis after killing many innocents, according to BBC News below, is disgusting. Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the world. Sickening.

Canada 🇨🇦 & Sweden 🇸🇪

I wake up to see that sponsors are needed in order to host the White House Easter Egg Roll for children, but no expense should be spared by the Pentagon to create a “golden dome” over the US for protection. 🤔

Love this. Very helpful

Great news! "Canada to partner with Australia on early warning detection system in the Arctic." 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🇦🇺 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Just after 9am Monday morning in Halifax #StPatricksDay #Halisky #OldTriangle

Top of the morning to ya! Happy St Paddy’s Day! This is the lineup this morning outside of Durty Nellys Pub in Halifax. Before dawn! 😮🍻🍀 www.facebook.com/reel/1223451...

Canada giving Marco Rubio the tiniest red carpet they could find in a thrift shop somewhere.

Good luck with the Veterans’ March today, America. 🇺🇸 Show the government what a real patriot looks like! 💪🏼

I visited my local liquor store this weekend and the entire row of U. S. wines has been removed. It’s been replaced with Tidal Bay, a Nova Scotia appellation wine that 14 vineyards here make. It’s delicious, so try some when our wines are available across Canada. Or when you come to visit!

Just a sweet reminder that there is a big, beautiful world out there waiting for you. My daughter is at a market in London, England today … and look at those strawberries! 😍

It’s time for my annual PSA about the time change, which springs ahead this Sunday. Good luck with your clocks 😑

Americans!! Canada will always be here for the American people. Here's the immigration link for express entry. When you hear Canadians insulting the USA, please know we're yelling at him and MAGA, not you and your family!! www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

Comrade Drumpf has put 25% tariffs on every Canadian import into the U.S. starting today. The only reason for this is his demented desire, fuelled by advice from Bannon and other henchmen, to take over Canada. He is delusional. Get ready for 💵 pain, my American friends. 🇨🇦 is ready.

I’m heading to the lovely Digby Pines resort this weekend to have a little spa time, inhale chef-made meals and hang out in the grand lounge (drinks and games). The Pines has a hotel and cottages and is a great spot if you’re planning a visit to Nova Scotia. Serenity now! www.digbypines.ca

Sunday thoughts …
