Looks terrific all these centuries down the road, especially compared to Calgary's Saddledome some 40 yrs old that the billionaires tell us needs to be torn down & replaced or they'll take their teams of international players and go away.
Me: GO AWAY!
Hel-lo, Church of Vitalis, centuries later!
Northern Canada is an experience.
For those of us with the time and $ to get there - it's a whole new experience of gratitude.
For many of us even a few weeks there can change our lives forever.
May you be a strong convert! 😁
I've considered for decades, lining our house in floor to ceiling bookshelves of authors/books I 'wanna read' and using that as insulation.
Tho I'm 'often wrong' - I don't think I'm far amiss on this one.
NO ONE is perfect.
And we can ALL do better.
The RC church still has a long way to go to be on the side of angels.
But golly, I'm glad Pope Leo is standing up for humanitarian efforts and against the billionaires & war mongers.

Partner now bedecked in CANADA hat/jacket when leaving home.
They'd found MakeAmericaGoAway hat but it made me uncomfortable b/c it was too close to original MAGA hat. I wldn't go places w them when they wore it.
I try not to be rude but I DO stop & chat w the treasonous bastards when we see them😇
Good for you!
Many ppl think of recipes as a 'starting off' point. AMEND yr recipe notes. Make changes. Write changes down.
Remember our grans/granddads often cooked fr general ideas inside their heads.
Baking (chemistry) is a lit-tle trickier.
Ummmmm.
Everybody has what the Brits call, a 'local', and McD's is that for some ppl.
But it's EXPENSIVE now!
We now support 'local' small food places w better quality/better pricing/money stays in community.
I'm huffy enough at McDs pricing in AB/Cda, I'll wait for home made supper vs pay McDs.
Ran across elitist frat boy culture yrs ago:
We try to acknowledge cultures where we travel. In San Diego learned some Spanish phrases to be friendly to Spanish worker bees on site. When checking out, used Spanish phrases to WhiteBoyFrontDesk staff - he sniffed a 'We only speak Merican here.'
👀
Thanks for offer!
Today ran errands into areas only open on weekends (primarily leave wknd shopping for worker bees). Came across one of the signing stops along the way.
Done/dusted.
Some rellies have health issues/haven't signed yet. IF we need a 'special stop' for them, I bet we can count on you!

"Speed up arms industry to speed up production".
But speed up production of homes?
Affordable groceries?
Problems: Minimum wage; Affordable accommodation 'nearby'.
Every job should be able to have the worker afford healthy food/transport to work site/shelter&utilities and extra to put aside.
Our locations say a lot - what expectation of 'humanity' fr a gov that only believes in large scale industry/oil&gas.
NO consideration for ABn workers/consumers themselves.
I'm still pissed about them lowering prov AISH $200 - and that doesn't directly concern us.
Thanks.
I think you're Cdn? Do you mind me asking what prov/general area this happened in?
I live in CGY, AB and have had conversations w biz owners who literally chortled that they've been able to drive down the wages of their Cdn workers in the trades b/c of the TFW programs.

I scrounge second hand bookstores and these have yet to fall into my hands.
Jealous if they're in your bookshelves.
Wld you mind clarifying what NF stands for? I tried to do a search and best I can come up with is Neutral Filter.
Really appreciate this info.
You're the first to clarify this for me.
I guess large orgs/PROVINCES don't care enough about human beings to take this inequality to court?
Why did RU get flag at paraOlympics compared to the previous 2026 Olympics that just finished?
I've no idea why such a small drab bird lifts my heart when others larger, more dramatic, more colourful leave me unaffected.
The red berries they're sitting beside here make for a nice touch beside this often cheery fluffball.
I don't get it. How are markers on a driver's license stuck in my wallet going to protect us from foreign interference?
Communities have used loud sirens to warn people about approaching storms, tsunamis and tornadoes, but now some activists in Los Angeles are using sirens to warn about immigration agents.

At the moment, I'm not sure who's playing whom.🤔
What I'm taking from this is: always be at least 3 parking spaces away from a Cybertruck.
Fascinating!
But video poops out just when things were REALLY going to get interesting w Joint Chiefs of Staff . . .
The facility is a 4.2-million-square-foot factory in WIndson, Ont., built by South Korea’s LG Energy Solution, and represents roughly a $5-billion investment, the company said on Thursday. www.nationalobserver.com/2026/03/05/n...
Pages Books, coincidentally now in what used to be old Calgary library branch - or so I've been told.
