After 501 days of rehabilitation at Freemy Wildlife, this magnificent marabou stork was finally released back into the wild.

We will never forget.
"Dear 77,301,997 Americans who voted for Trump,
Being Canadian has never been about shouting the loudest. We don’t pound our chests or demand attention. We are sometimes like the quiet kid on the playground, just wanting to get along with others. We hold doors, say sorry even when it’s not our fault, and shovel our neighbour’s driveway just because it’s the right thing to do. We believe in fairness, decency, and looking out for one another.
We are the world’s greatest neighbour… and yes, our spelling is the correct one. We show up. In the words of our Prime Minister on Saturday night, “from the beaches of Normandy to the mountains of the Korean Peninsula, from the fields of Flanders to the streets of Kandahar, we have fought and died alongside you during your darkest hours. During the summer of 2005, when Hurricane Katrina ravaged your great city of New Orleans, or mere weeks ago, when we sent water bombers to tackle the wildfires in California, and during the day the world stood still — Sept. 11, 2001 — when we provided refuge to stranded passengers and planes, we were always there, standing with you”.
And yet, here we are – watching your president, a man who built his legacy on bullying, turn his sights on us. He mocks us, belittles us, and treats us like some inconvenience rather than the ally who has stood by you through thick and thin.
It’s easy to mistake our politeness for passivity, or our kindness for weakness. But here’s the thing about the quiet kid on the playground: push that kid far enough, and that kid pushes back.
Canada has never needed to boast about its strength. We just prove it. On battlefields. In boardrooms. On the ice. So, if you think you can push us around and take us for granted – think again. You think we will become your “cherished 51st state” – think again. Underestimate us… that will be fun. Because the quiet kid? The quiet kid remembers. And when the quiet kid finally stands up, the whole playground takes notice.
Now we are pissed.
Sincerely,
Canada"
Last day of November already?!
Here are some of the guys who grew out their moustache for Movember, raising awareness for men’s health! 👨

May not have gone their way in @WlooMHKY tonight, but these athletes took time to meet and encourage @WaterlooWolves U13AAA and be role models for academic and athletic pursuits. Way to go, @WlooWarriors - that’s the big picture! Thanks @lovesauce15 for leading the way!
The St. David Celtics concluded a perfect season Thursday with a 3-0 win over the Holy Cross Raiders of St. Catharines in the gold-medal game of the Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations girls’ A/AA hockey championship. https://t.co/avI3xawGpi
This season, the St. David Celtics cruised to District 8 and Central Western Ontario (CWOSSA) championships and will be a team to watch at the March 21-23 all-Ontario girls single-A/double-A hockey championship in Stratford. https://t.co/h29MI6zvRb
During his inaugural address in 2019, Zelensky told lawmakers: “I do not want my picture in your offices: the President is not an icon, an idol or a portrait. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you are making a decision.”
.@wloobourque served as an assistant to Karl, and took over the reins when Karl had a chance to coach pro hockey in the ECHL. The entire @WlooWarriors program owes a lot to these two awesome coaches and role models. 👊
Preparing a lesson for my math students about energy efficiency’s impact on household finance and couldn’t help but remember the stories my mom would tell me about my grandmother shovelling coal in the middle of the night to heat the house. ❤️
