Lovely ride over to Amherst Island today. Visited @TopsyFarms, noted a couple of beaches to return to when I’m not in full riding gear, toured around the entire shoreline of the island, and then snagged a grilled cheese at @BackKitchen_AI, before jumping back on the ferry. 1/2

Just your typical Saturday morning where the peace and quiet are interrupted by random deer crossing through.

Just an Ent chilling and deliberately pondering life near the edge of the pond.

Last night was special, being able to see @hannahmusic for the first time at @Base31PEC in the intimate Sergeants Mess Hall. Wonderful vibes, sublime lyrics, great company, and a lovely dinner prior to in Picton at Quaich and Banter.

Happy to tell you that I’ll be continuing my little solo acoustic show adventure and making a stop in my neck of the woods at @Base31PEC in Picton, May 3rd!! Tickets are available now in the link above! See you in the spring 🐣🌷🍃

Impressive! Way to go Max!

We were absolutely amazed at the footage obtained from the trail cam setup near a deer carcass in @FrontenacCounty. Some of the wildlife included coyotes, bald eagles, turkey vultures, and more. Within a week the entire remains of the deer were gone.

We’re blessed to live where we do, having a front row seat to the premiere show that is nature. While always sad to see death occur, it does provide perspective on how it feeds and nourishes others within the food chain. Rare, but not the 1st time seeing bald eagles on the pond.

No slipping! They must’ve engaged 4-leg drive. 😉🦌

[Steve Koopman @koopy]

@snoshi Yeah, that was bad on multiple fronts. 😬

@SthFrontenacTwp It probably doesn’t get stated enough but a huge thank you to the @SthFrontenacTwp road crews for all you’re doing during this Sunday blizzard. We’ve had our dead-end road already ploughed twice. Stay safe out there folks! 🙏

@ChargePointnet So, it appears you’ve lost a new customer and I’ll be looking at Flo, Autel, or other well-known name brands whose websites are working and willing to take my money.

[Steve Koopman @koopy]

@ChargePointnet I stated to the customer rep that regardless of your website being down I was happy to purchase over the phone, but they said that wasn’t an option. So I was left with paying 20% more or checking back in a week. Sorry, but this reeks of incompetence and unprofessionalism.

[Steve Koopman @koopy]

@JPo1369 Love this! I wonder how many memories this brought back and hope he had childhood dreams that night.

Very disappointing to see people sharing this new residential school denialist article from the National Post, including some historians. As a historian of education, here's a 🧵 on the most egregious points that serve to minimize the harms of residential schooling.

[Sean Carleton @SeanCarleton]

One of Murray Sinclair's teachings that I've tried to centre in my work, is to put truth before reconciliation and do the hard work to show that residential school denialists are wrong. So, since denialists are trying to misrepresent his legacy, here's how they get it wrong👇🧵
