Japanese Beetles this year.
So very sad. Condolences and good wishes.
Why isn't there more coverage of this flotilla of help to Gaza? www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

On my wish list too. Look forward to your impressions. Have fun!
Thank you for this.
Oh my goodness, no. I had no question...just hit me when I saw the card, and I should not have worded it like that. I apologize. I respect and admire you who can read and see what is often hidden. Thank you for sharing!
The past is not behind meโit walks beside me, whispering in the accents of those Iโve loved and lost. Some mornings, I wake with its breath on my neck, soft as a lullaby, sharp as regret. The past is like a faithful dog. It waits at the door, eyes full of stories I swore Iโd buried. #vss365
Thank you on this labor day!!
This is hauntingly lovely.
Ok lady by-standers. You becoming hand maidens? You COULD have helped stop this. Little boys showing off is not cute.
Envy your going to Gros Morne...hope it's spectacular!
Bluesky isn't dying, we're all just realizing that social media is our generation's smoking.
Wow. Well said.
Nah, not real. Guy that tall wouldn't bend to move the ball to a better spot.

I used to work in forestry (tree planting). I worked in apocalyptic hellscapes, re-planting them with one species of tree. I realized I was just planting a crop. It made me appreciate real wilderness & is why I started halifaxtrails.ca. The industrial plunder needs to stop www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
For sure! Went to ocean beach last week...forgot how easy it is to swim, or just float, with the buoyancy of salt water. Wonderful. Have a perfect day.
I am a Canadian woman. I would never, not ever, no way, on no account, at no time, even consider voting for PP, under any circumstances, on no occasion.
Didn't your president brag about being allowed in girls locker rooms during beauty pageants that he owned?
Labour should be ashamed of themselves for not mentioning #COVID being the biggest cause of absence in schools! Phillipson said herself clean air was needed in 2022, no mention on the news today or the association with neurological risks post infection! Many parents are very fed up of this narrative

There are still some major newspapers?
Well done! Enjoy!
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
Woweee! Am jealous. Where do you thrift? I love Fluevog shoes!
Beautiful spot for a wedding. Thanks for heads up. Congrats to newlyweds!
Our Paramedics are super. Glad someone called them for you. Hope all turns out well, and you're back on the trail soon.
THANK YOU TO EACH AND EVERY PERSON THERE ๐๐ป #Gaza #Israel
Good luck explaining to your grandchildren why we crossed known climate tipping points. โOh, we wanted to let big companies pollute for free,โ wonโt have much appeal.

On your own computer, you can delete permanently either by reformatting the drive or overwriting the memory on the drive. Otherwise, yes, whatever you've deleted is still there until it's overwritten. You don't have that level of control with the cloud. I dont store anything on the cloud, ever.
Some trails open again...happy long weekend, hikers!
Effective 4 p.m. today, Friday, Aug. 29, the province has lifted restrictions on access to woods within the Halifax region. The provincial burn ban remains in place for the entire province. More details: www.halifax.ca/home/news/re...

Edmonton Public Schools has decided that Margaret Atwood is too dangerous for youth to read. As is Brave New World. 1984 is banned by Grade 9s and younger. This is the MAGA machine of Danielle Smith in action. Perhaps a public book burning will reassure the base. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Looks like it's going down, not up??
By all means show up to Halifax on September 12โฆ to the historic protest.
Tennis Canada is serving up these ads on FB. Note that they do not mention the pesky question of who Canada is playing. Spoiler: they are playing Israel.
"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action." Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?

Hey @timbousquet.bsky.social Look who just had a data breach? Not the company NSPC hired to protect their customers, lol Halifax
This is so anti immigrant, this flaccid, lying POS has no idea what he is talking about #PutASockInIt #Canada Reminder: this sad little man has stated he would do mass deportations just like the felon in the US. He is truly awful.
6/ Please donโt relax because Prime Minister Carney is ahead in the polls now. Itโs where the polls are heading that should worry us - PP is hitting on all the right notes because heโs not being asked tough questions to show he has no credible plan. abacusdata.ca/abacus-data-...
5/ If Canadians arenโt worried and angry right now, they arenโt paying attention.
Sound a bit like eulogies, don't they? Hoping they're mentioned in the Will?
NS Liberals will table the Social Media Responsibility Act. If passed Bluesky will no longer be available in Nova Scotia. The platform would be required to prove all users are 16 years of age which it has refused to do in other areas.

Rent prices in Germany are skyrocketing. But one place hasnโt increased its rent in five centuries. The Fuggerei helps people who are poor to live a life of dignity.
I think we can let the "is Trump REALLY an authoritarian/fascist/etc?" debate have some rest now
What is the matter with these people? How do they go home and face sane folks they must know?
You go Team! You make Canada proud!!! ๐จ๐ฆโฅ๏ธ๐

This doctor (moi) says itโs especially important for everyone to get the updated COVID vaccine because vaccines wane, there are new variants and every person, regardless of age, is susceptible to the damage COVID causes. Get Vaccinated #Vaccineswork
That's trumpflation.
Why do you continue to put up with him?
Alberta only ordered enough COVID vaccines for 10% of the eligible population. 4,366,000 Albertans couldnโt get the vaccine even if they wanted it and paid. Thereโs nowhere near enough. #abpoli #cdnpoli bsky.app/profile/mike...

Nova Scotia's iconic Blue Nose is refusing to travel to Trumpland. This is a huge decision given the role they play in the international schooner festivals. But they will not cross the border. The Blue Nose is your dime. If they can hold the line against fascism. So can you. Keep the boycott strong.
Almost impossible to think it's real. The hat, the photo, the people around him silent.
And Canada isn't part of this yet, either: globalsumudflotilla.org Are we part of any Gazan saving?

Gaza is officially in a famine as Israel starves 2 million people to death. This level of suffering is completely unimaginable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/w...
JB Pritker has more humanity, conscience, and pride than most. He is one of the few in the Democratic Party who has brought the light and kept it glowing. The party needs to follow his lead.
There's a flotilla of real humans in boats going to help Gaza! Don't see #Canada yet, but lots of countries taking part. Hope it's real and true. globalsumudflotilla.org

Since becoming Opposition leader, Poilievre has adopted many hallmarks of Trumpism โ the reckless promotion of falsehoods & conspiracies, a dangerous demonization of political opponents & critics, & an unprecedented disregard for democratic accountability. #cdnpoli thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

He went too far. Never get 90 year old white hippies mad. That was his first mistake. I am not 80 yet so I am considered a whipper snapper. Miller is a used up dish rag that is mouldy and ready for the trash heap. Totally useless. Get ready for an army of gray haired experienced demonstrators ๐คฌ
Truly hard to believe Canadians did this.
Some patchy cloudiness today; light winds and most getting into low 20's. Mostly sunny Thursday and low-mid 20's. Light winds. Rain from Hurricane Eric just reaches Sable Island Friday night. Breezy north winds over NS (not strong) as Erin passes well south. High surf and threat of rip currents.
Good morning sunshine, be kind, we don't know what others go through. And have a great day while staying safe wherever you go or do. โ๐โ๐คโ๐ฅฐโ๐โ
