For Ottawa, the sovereignty threat is real. In backing Greenland’s sovereignty, Canada aims not only to affirm the principle of self-determination but also to reinforce its own sovereignty over all parts of Canada. The last thing they want is for one of the Premieres to get a personal invite to DC.

All you can do is grab a hand and pull. No one can do everything, and no one expects you to do everything. I lost my job in February and haven't had a break since. So I try to get to know folks and promote their campaigns. When I have extra, I donate, but rarely have been able to. Just take a hand.

Please don't forget Marla this season. If have the means, please donate. Shares help, too. @fairshare.help

I'm a Rattray hehe! Alt: A beach of pink quartz, amethyst sunlight as the sun emerges from the sea. A little lighthouse on a rock stands before it. In the foreground are sand dunes and shoreline gently bathed in the same gem-coloured light.

Happy Winter Solstice! Beer can, pinhole camera photos of the Summer to Winter Solstice (2024) and the Winter to Summer Solstice (2025). You never know quite what you're going to get with these photos, set the beer can pointing towards the sun at hopefully the correct angle and wait 6 months!
