Breaking news: millions of Canadians taking off orange shirts to wear anything referencing the Queen.

[Kevin Mcleod @dockevinmcleod]

Honey. Hey honey.

We have 15,430 beekeepers in Canada. We export about $60 million of honey a year, $40 million of that to the USA. That honey now has a 50% tariff and our farmers are going to have a tough time selling it.

Canada imports a lot of honey, about $73 million of it. Some of it isn’t even real honey (seriously it’s faked with rice and cane syrups eww).

Check the labels. As a country we are spending $73 million on imported honey and looking at loosing $40 million in exported honey to the USA. It’s kinda simple math. Buy Canadian honey.

Little things from many people will make a difference.

Indigenous Peoples protect 80% of global biodiversity & are key to #ClimateAction.

Yet they’re often excluded from decisions & funding affecting their own lands — while facing rising threats from environmental degradation.

Sunday is #IndigenousDay.

@Kat_LeBlanc Do you have this written down somewhere off Twitter?

The possibility of Twitter collapsing seems more likely. Here is how nonprofits can prepare for Twitter to collapse. 🧵

Twitter right now has the energy of when you say bye after hanging out with a friend but then you’re both walking in the same direction for another block.
