oh my god, everyone go home, this is it. this is the winner. π
As an NDPer, I am feeling discouraged and disheartened by tonight's news.
As a Pierre Poilievre hater, this continues to be so much fun.
I worry that the NDP will struggle to rebound as long as the CPC continues its rightward drift: their current iteration scares too many NDP voters towards the Liberals.
I have wanted this book to exist so badly for the past decade.
... I'm kind of shocked that OP is saying this without acknowledging the absymal conditions for migrant workers on Canadian farms.
It's a really well known fact!! We've been condemned by the UN repeatedly!
Is the ebike great exercise? No, not really. Does our ebike allow us to cart 100+ lbs of children around quickly and easily? Yes!
It's just such a beautiful car alternative.
Five glass bottles shaped like maple leaves sit in a row on a wooden railing outdoors. Each bottle is filled with maple syrup in different shades ranging from very light golden to dark amber. The bottles have gold-colored caps. Trees and a house appear blurred in the background under a bright blue sky.
Between 2011 and 2012, several individuals stole 9,571 barrels of maple syrup, worth $18.7 million, from a warehouse in Saint-Louis-de-Blandford, Quebec.
This theft from the Maple Syrup Strategic Reserve became known as The Great Maple Syrup Heist.
This is the story.

On the bright side, if gas prices keep going up, I might be able to bust out my best Stan Rogers meme again:
I kind of disliked the "what did your grandfathers do" prompt that was circulating because it implied that grandmothers weren't working.
My grandparents had an extremely 1960s suburbs middle class life ... that was only made possible by two working adults.
when our time comes we will make no excuses for the pronouns
A passage from Rilla of Ingleside: "Susan was very sorrowful when she saw the beautiful old lawn of Ingleside ploughed up that spring and planted with potatoes. Yet she made no protest, even when her beloved peony bed was sacrificed. But when the Government passed the Daylight Saving law Susan balked. There was a Higher Power than the Union Government, to which Susan owed allegiance. "Do you think it right to meddle with the arrangements of the Almighty?" she demanded indignantly of the doctor. The doctor, quite unmoved, responded that the law must be observed, and the Ingleside clocks were moved on accordingly. But the doctor had no power over Susan's little alarm. "I bought that with my own money, Mrs. Dr. dear," she said firmly, "and it shall go on God's time and not Borden's time." Susan got up and went to bed by "God's time," and regulated her own goings and comings by it. She served the meals, under protest, by Borden's time, and she had to go to church by it, which was the crowning injury. But she said her prayers by her own clock, and fed the hens by it; so that there was always a furtive triumph in her eye when she looked at the doctor. She had got the better of him by so much at least."
Every time change Monday, I yearn for "God's time not Borden's time"
This quote has been with me every day since I first heard it and I love her so much for saying it.
Clearly it's the lack of moulded plastic slides in your life!
Yes! And they were literally all the same and repetitive! You go to one park and you've gone to them all.
Oh that's amazing!
I am so jealous of all the cool playgrounds my kids get to play on now.
Playgrounds that have been built in the past 10-15 years are *incredible* -- the innovative designs alone and the way they challenge different age levels.
Tangent, but it's bananas seeing people who were kids in the early 2000s waxing nostalgic for the era of *super boring playgrounds*
They tore out all the cool wooden ones in the '90s to put in these safe plastic ones ... and then realized by the 2010s that these are all incredibly dull.
A spectacular opening day for Canada at the Paralympics.
Three medals. Two team victories. And weβre just getting started.
Iβm at para snowboarding bright and early Sunday where Tyler Turner looks to defend Paralympic gold. Starts at 5am ET. Good night sports fans.
The Poet Laureate of the UK is famous for his translation of St Gawain and the Green Knight, and Kym once got up on stage, looked him straight in the eye, and then performed this.
Unsurprisingly enough, every time they've encountered each other since, he's remembered them.
Happy Bandcamp Friday to all who celebrate!
It's so funny! They're so active when you're not around!
Number of weeks since surgery: 3

Oh, I am so so sorry, Bitters -- she was such a wonderful dog. I am sending all the love and thoughts your way πππ
The supposed explosion of the federal public service looks less explosive if you put it in per capita numbers and draw a line graph back to the mid-80s.
Why do I feel like Harry Kim is wearing rollerblades just out of frame
That's not true. But Julian of Norwich immured herself rather than be interviewed by Choitner.
I think my dad would've done the same thing if he hadn't been worried about neighbours complaining
Macbeth, Macbeth, Much Ado, Twelfth Night and then Macbeth again.
We had the same thing happen to us, and it was such a saga to deal with -- we ended up having to have the whole thing torn down. I'm so sorry!
