A new baby arrived this afternoon. She is supposed to be 1 of 3 but the finders decided to not bother trapping 1 and the 2nd that they did catch they put back outside 🤬 she is just 360g and so tiny for supposedly being 4 weeks old. #fosterkitten #tabbykitten #spayandneuter #catsofbluesky #sadeyes
Crown Royal shuts their Canadian plant to sell in the US. They should be counting on American buyers. Canadians have so many good whisky options to choose from.
Wonderland!
Thank you. Bunnies are notorious for hiding any signs of illness until it's too late. We loved him, despite his love of chewing baseboards and drywall.
Our dear bunny, Walter White passed away suddenly last night. No signs or symptoms leading up to it 😭 We are shocked and sad to have lost our little buddy.
I have contacted Heart & Stroke Foundation many times to remove my late MIL (2023) from their mailing list. Still receiving mail addressed to her. The latest said "Come back, we miss you!" Yah, we do too. 🤬😔
I got a blister on my thumb, from vacuuming 🤒
Kawartha Dairy Pralines and Cream is THE best!
We tried it this week and we were surprised by the raisins. It was great ice cream and I would definitely buy it again but would like a "no raisin" option as well.

None in Bath 😞
Clean air supports cognitive function, focus, and learning. It keeps staff and students at school instead of home sick. It helps to prevent the impacts of long COVID on brain health and behaviour (eg PANS/PANDAS). Literally no downside.
Superb summary video presentation on COVID essentials everyone should know, but most don’t. Thank you Dr. Nancy Malek!! @n95anaesthetist.bsky.social
Cheesecake is purrfect!

Timeline cleanse. A squirrel eating a grape. 🐿️
Canadians just spent $2M buying Pierre Poilievre a seat in a do-over by-election because Conservatives are fiscally responsible and are the party of hard work, independence, and self-reliance. 🙃

Barney! Hi!!
All the best today Bonnie! You brought a fight to PP and I truly hope your constituents see through his agenda and lies.
3 months, ~20,000kms, thousands of doors, & I've finally rolled in off the Campaign trail. From First Nations & Métis, to Hutterites, to new Canadians, to 3rd & 4th generation farmers, to small business owners, I have spoken to as many of our neighbors as possible. So my platform came into being:
That was my lunch yesterday. I added pizza pepperoni, because we had it. So good!
COVID is bad for you. Particularly your arteries. Don’t get COVID. Get vaccinated. Wear an N95 respirator. Clean the air we all breathe.
Sometimes it feels like rural communities are up against giants, big corporations & big government far from here Bonnie knows what it’s like to take on a fight that seems impossible & win. She’s ready to stand up for BR-C our communities are worth defending #OurHomeOurRiding #BattleRiverCrowfoot
Vacation week! ✔️Camping ✔️Seadooing ✔️Reading ✔️ Relaxing 😎

Some got mad when I suggested that the celebration of Luigi Mangione's vigilante shootings just made it easier for a nutjob on the Right to do the same thing to vaccine scientists. Well here you are. Extrajudicial execution is never justified. Yes, I know there's context, but there's also a line.
He’s going to bankrupt America (in so many different ways) just like he’s done with his own businesses. He can walk away, having made his grifting payday. It would seem that in America it’s not just the veterans that are the suckers & losers. #TeflonDon
We got a new outdoor sofa this year and it's so comfy that I think my neighbours must be laughing at me because of how much time I just sit there. Soaking it up. Hubby has his morning coffee on it too.
Crazy hot, dry weather in the Kingston region. Drought continues. Wildfires are burning in parts of Ontario. Please obey burning bans. Do not carelessly discard burning cigarettes.

Timber is acting like the principal! She's got that look.

Teen climate activist (my son) needs Canadians to respond to a 2-minute survey to help him build data to bring to local Cdn politicians to urge them to make it easier for Canadians to donate used electronics for reuse (after wiped clean) and recycling. Pls share: marketing4health.formaloo.me/b8j3vp

There is a mistaken belief among some Canadians and Americans that the *effective* US tariff rate on Canada is very high. It's not. That's because most goods are covered under the existing Canada-US-Mexico trade agreement. Chart: Globe and Mail www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

WHN is hosting an important Town Hall on Tuesday with Dr. Dick Zoutman Subject: The Fight for Canada’s Universal Respirator Mask Healthcare Standards 👏👏👏 Register here: necsi-edu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...
This list—predominantly managers of hospital infection control programs—are undermining revisions to a Canadian standard for workplace respirator personal protective equipment (PPE) that would improve safety grounded in science and engineering. /1
The latest Canadian standards association guidance for universal use of respirators for preventing respiratory infection in healthcare is based on actual science (rather than dogma) and has generated a predictable response from predictable quarters

Ontario’s so-called ‘Captain Canada’ is still under investigation by the RCMP. www.thestar.com/politics/pro... It’s hard to have faith in truth or justice prevailing these days but hope springs some of the time.

This is a case of people not understanding statistics. About 6% of UK population if Muslim. But there is very limited diversity among Muslim boys' names. So almost every Muslim boy in UK will be named Muhammad (or some variation). Thread [1/2]

There is a staggering level of blasé naivety in Canada's media coverage of MAGA's attempt to destroy our country. National Post and subsidiaries are American owned and totally onside. CBC/ CTV are bending over backwards to be "fair" to Vichy Canada. Wake up folks. pressprogress.ca/the-albertan...

209 names on the ballot the longest in Canadian history. This isn’t a game. We deserve someone who’s here, listening, & ready to lead. Someone who’s not hiding behind a party machine or pseudo political movement. Bonnie Critchley It’s her voice, but your words #OurHomeOurRiding #BattleRiverCrowfoot
Please look at this important post from the World Health Network (WHN) concerning the new revised CSA Z94.4 Respirator standard. Their support of improving the safety of all workers especially in healthcare and of patients is highly appreciated.
From 10 days to 10 weeks! Ember & Flame are growing up. They'll be leaving soon to get ready for adoption through Avacats.org If you're in the #GTA & want to fill your home with two of the best kittens keep an eye on the website for them! #fosterkittens #bottlebabies #spayandneuter #catsofbluesky

No! I too inherited many loose screws when we bought my in-laws house. The basement was full of random items and it's been 25 years and I still have stuff I don't want/need/use down there.
If you are upset or frustrated by the ballot we've got going on, I would recommend heading down to the Elections Canada Office and vote by special ballot. I voted today, & it was simple! Camrose Elections Canada 6601 48 Avenue, Suite 27 Camrose, Alberta #OurHomeOurRiding #BattleRiverCrowfoot
She looks so peaceful. Thank you for rescuing her. ♥️
Heads up #YGK @mihomeygk.bsky.social 2 dogs died of poisoning after walking near the Y on Wright Crescent. Also dead are squirrels and birds.
I was on Brian Lehrer yesterday talking about MHT, the black box warning on vaginal estrogen, and why women should not trust Makary as he is a forced birther www.wnyc.org/story/hrt-an...
I think we all know what’s going on here. Big grocers like Loblaws and Sobey’s tricking Canadian shoppers, putting profits over country. I’m sick of this. #ElbowsUp www.cbc.ca/news/busines...
There’s been a lot of push from parents for “alternate schedules” and as a pediatrician I’m happy however kids can get vaccinated but there’s a reason we do it this way 👇🏽
Back to work after 10 days off ☕🥱

Of course she did! Enjoy it, Kitten.
If you’re a menstruating person & your health insurance is in peril, get your ferritin checked now! Iron deficiency is super common & causes symptoms ranging from fatigue to hair loss to cognitive dysfunction. Ferritin should be 30+ in adults (50+ even better) Tinyurl.com/JAMAFe
Things why publicly funded media, like the CBC, is so important
An indoor cat, is a safe cat!
Stop driving impaired!
Criminals sure are stupid!
The new #ForkLake trail at #algonquinpp is HARD! The steep gravel decline, then 72 stairs to get you half way to the peak. Beautiful views at top elevation then down. To end, you go back UP the gravel trail and wow, that was a challenge. Definitely earned its Difficult rating! 2.7km of hard work.
The Campaign Office is open! If you had questions, or wanted a sign, come see our Volunteers! 4872 50th Street in Camrose This is #OurHomeOurRiding in #BattleRiverCrowfoot
A tale in two pictures.
Two massive influencers in the menopause space, Dr. Haver, MD, and Dr. Sims, PhD, market turmeric supplements. I looked at their supporting science. Holy shit it’s bad. open.substack.com/pub/vajenda/...
I donated to Bonnie's campaign too. Just like I donated to Bruce Fanjoy. Anything to help keep PP out of our government.
It was! I now need my own mozzarella cheese factory!
Huh, so no rain in Ktown?
We had grumbling thunder in Bath then a huge downpour! It was needed.

Completely and utterly untrue. Stats are pretty clear on this one. Death rate of unvaccinated adults was 12.7 times higher than people with primary vaccination series. Death rate of unvaxxed was 53.2X higher than among those who were vaxxed & boosted. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
A large study showed children & teens who caught Covid had ~2x the risk of being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes within first 6 months of acute infection Article also refers to the pandemic in past tense 😬 www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...
Flame and Ember are enjoying the heated cat bed. They are now 7 weeks old and doing great! No more bottles for these big girls, which means I sleep through the night again!

When will the Canadian government issue a travel warning to Canadians about the threats they might face from the United States government? This is a nation that has no respect for individual rights or the rule of law. We have 55 plus Canadians kidnapped and in detention.

Upshot: COVID is bad for your brain. Don’t get COVID. Get vaccinated. Wear an N95 mask. Clean the air we all breathe.
