100 years ago today, hard times forced my grandfather to sell of his farm equipment and livestock in Vinemount Ontario. A low point in our family history for sure but I’m proud to say—it didn’t keep him down!

Coffee Crisp is one of my favourite chocolate bars. I have to switch away from @Nestle @NestleUSA given their continuing business in Russia.

I think Wordle should show your average score over time—even better with some comparison so we know how well we’re doing.

Tonight @adriearsenault said that CBC is committed to bringing us stories about climate change. I watch The National every night and yes, there are stories about climate change but not nearly to the level of attention that the current crisis deserves.

The refurbished steeple at St. Augustine Centre really stands out on the city skyline. Very beautiful! Congratulations to the leadership committee and good luck with the fundraising.

Troubling story on CBC National News about proposed harvesting of muskeg in northern Saskatchewan. I wonder if Mb has environmental policy to protect our peat moss?

The issue in this election is not the calling of the election. The science is clear, we must immediately cap GHG emissions & achieve an avg of 8% annual reductions within a decade. That means this is last election where a gov't will have any runway left to get it done on time.

Climate change is proceeding at a faster pace and producing widespread effects that are more definitively tied to human influence than ever before, according to a new @UN report from a global team of scientists.

Trees are so important to Winnipeg. Terrible shame to hear 17 trees were lost on Roblin. Serious negligence for sure.
