Hi, I found the most cursed corn tortilla chips. They are friend in beef tallow to avoid seed oils. Do you know what counts as a seed oil? Corn Meal corn has fat. That's where the oil comes from. So, if you are eating corn tortilla chips you are eating seed oils.

So the PEI government doesn't have $1.5M/year to provide educational supports to our youngest and neediest learners, but it does have $2.5M/year to give to NHL officials so they can travel here on the taxpayer's dime. If that's not a statement of their priorities, I don't know what is.

Seems crazy that the Government of Canada’s travel advisory page has a higher alert level for the UK, Spain, France, Germany, and Italy (due to the threat of terrorism) than for the United States.

It seems slightly strange to think that earlier this morning I may have drank my last ever glass of frozen orange juice from concentrate.

While we will not be toning down the rhetoric, we will be making changes to its hue, contrast and white balance

This is how many thousands of dollars in damages to public property? How much more in healthcare costs? For what? Galen Weston's steak?

Our daughter moved into an apartment in town last week. I dropped a load of her things off this afternoon but forgot something small so I used my e-bike to bring it over. 16 minutes to get to her apt in my van. 24 minutes to get there *and back* on the e-bike.

Donald Trump Mr. Bean-ing his way to accidentally becoming the savior of the human race from climate change would be *incredibly* funny.

Deck season begins

San Jose's beautiful Saint James's Park just after sunrise, as seen through an advertising wrap on a light rail train.

As I bike over the Hillsborough bridge each morning there is a row of seagulls perched on the railing. As I approach, each one of them flies off to the west and then presumably circles back and returns once I'm past, and I feel like I'm in a dance routine on the Lawrence Welk show.

It’s fairly telling of the order of things that Canada almost immediately defaulted to the government taking a financial hit to provide gas price relief, without paying for it through a windfall tax even being floated as a serious possibility.

Bought a couple of those number birthday candles for my daughter’s birthday cake. As I was opening the package I saw that it advertised “Lead free wicks”, and now I have a bunch of questions

was once New Amsterdam.

John McCain was onto something when he condemned UFC as "human cockfighting."

Disappointed (not surprised) that the Liberal Party voted against supporting proportional representation at their convention. What better time than now to go beyond the Anglosphere and learn from better systems in other countries?

“Roughly 20% of Canadian families experience food insecurity. Many families who lack adequate food continue to have access to an adequate supply of water, but our government has a plan to address that imbalance” - Mark Carney, probably.

Oh absolutely not.

Reverence

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

this is not the 3rd place we were hoping for.

Sort of incredible-but-not-really that the biggest persecutors of Christians in the world are conservative white Christians.

I know Carney is conservative. But accepting this floor crossing shows an absolutely astonishing deficit in values and judgement

It amuses me endlessly that he sits up so tall

Great news everybody! We’re only 6-8 weeks away from June-bug season!

Do you need a car to go get a bag of water softener salt? No, you do not need a car to go get a bag of water softener salt.

It is important on Good Friday to take time to rememeber if you don't sin, Jesus died for no reason

It's not an "energy crisis" it's an oil crisis that happens regularly due to precarious supply chains we have chosen to maintain, despite obvious locally sourced alternatives www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Takes real skill to be asked not to send your opinions to a newspaper in this day and age.

It's the inconvenience that I enjoy.

With the launch of Artemis II, for the first time a man from London Ontario is currently situated in the cold vacuum of space, in what resident of nearby rival Kitchener Ontario are calling, "a good start"

The seas have boiled and almost all life is gone. Three data centers remain, solar-powered, in continuous relay with one another. They continuously transfer electronic funds back and forth with one another, silently. At long last, the economy is perfect.

Taken together, the Health PEI and Arsenault stories provide a fascinating insight into the workings of Island politics. I’m amazed (but shouldn’t be) that the first instinct of the ministers isn’t to look up what the rules and/or policies are and follow them.

Credit to our local CBC for failing this week's "stop platforming the food professor" challenge at the first possible opportunity.

Watching #CBC “Rosemary Barton Live” after #AviLewis wins the #NDP leadership race. Toronto Star journalist #RobBenzie makes a vile statement about #Gaza. Saying that 🇨🇦’s are more concerned about issues here than a genocide. That’s how white settlers think about something they’ve never seen.🪶😡💔

Hooray for my first oatmeal-powered commute of the year

How about Never seen a cybertruck passenger seat occupied

Seven-word death punch

The crows usually fly over our place at sunrise going SE on their way from Brighton to wherever they go. I was letting the dog out about 7:10 just after the snow started and one flew over in a NW direction. I can only assume it was doing the corvid equivalent of “f it, I’m going back to bed”

The very large chunks of ice-encrusted snow that made up the windrow at the end of the driveway have done nothing to soften my feelings about yesterday’s weather

Stratford Sobeys had Storm Chips on sale today. I bought 2 bags when the snow forecast showed 10–15 cm and now it shows 5. I guess if the chips are reduced then the storm is too.

I was at the grocery store checkout a few minutes ago looking out the window at the snow falling and thinking “If this was December, I would be thinking that looked really pretty”. However, as Max Verstappen once said, if my mom had balls she’d be my dad.

In light of today’s “Councillor acts to improve morale of planning staff” headline: bsky.app/profile/bren...

“Boston Seafood Expo Ended Yesterday” trumped “Sitting Cabinet Minister Dies” as the lead headline on the local CBC newscast this morning. This is a strange place.

Current events just reminded me of a joke my late uncle told me when I was a kid. There’s 2 guys and a foreman on a road crew. The two guys are digging away and the foreman is doing some paperwork. One guy says to the other “How come we gotta do all this work and he gets to sit in the truck?” ..1/4

The Jack Russell coming to visit me on the couch inevitably results in the same conversation Me: Don’t put your tongue there Him: I’ll think about it <5 second pause> Repeat

I’m watching the China-Canada wheelchair curling final. The Chinese team screaming line calls at an inanimate object travelling down the ice without sweepers is beyond bizarre.
