"#Canada is among the fastest warming regions in the world due to climate change.
A new analysis of this past winter shows that it was the hottest ever recorded across Canada, beating out the previous hottest winter by the widest margin ever seen.
Tallying up the impacts of the season, the report finds that the average temperature from December 2023 to February 2024, across all of Canada, was 5.2°C above the 1961-1990 average."
Earlier this week, I lost track of time when I stumbled upon a patch of water lilies at a marsh. I like to take my time when I find an interesting subject, I determine the right settings for what I have in mind, and I think of a different perspective. I love to create, I love photography.
Last night Mr. Laffy, the twins, and I celebrated:
1- May 34th #TrumpGuilty
2- Finding a townhouse to put an offer on …in our preferred complex, exactly where we wanted to buy
3- Being together again, in #Canada for realsies
4- The rule of law working as it should
Today I woke up (I actually didn’t sleep much) under the weather… which started yesterday but was trying to ignore. So, no Champagne today.
"Your encampment is a threat to the global witch hunt campaign (IHRA) to change the meaning of anti-Semitism (Being against #Jews because they are Jews). The #IHRA campaign attacks you as anti-Semitic because you criticize #Israel racist apartheid. The IHRA opposes the wearing of the Kyffeyeh and persecutes all defenders of #Palestine freedom." #Gaza#SolidarityWithPalestine#NotAntisemitism @palestine@israel
There is, sadly, a growing proportion of people in #Canada who are following the American right-wing trend towards disingenuity. They may not be so enthusiastic about embracing someone who consistently points out reality.
Hey Canadian nerds! I have held the domain registration for regex.ca for a very long time. When I lived in Canada it was my primary domain, but I haven't used it for years. Does anyone on the fediverse have a good use for it?
I'm going to release it but if you've got a good pitch I'll pay for a 1 year renewal and then transfer it to your ownership.

I went for a walk around my place late this afternoon when I heard a lot of chirping coming from a bunch of deciduous trees. It was difficult to see through the dense foliage but, given all the bird activity and chatting, I thought there must be a nest. That's when I spotted four hungry baby bushtits gathered on a branch and demanding food!
“There is seriously something dystopian about this moment when Rafah is on fire being massacred and Palestinian healthcare is beyond overwhelmed after systematic and targeted sieges on hospitals […] While medical institutions in Canada are still seriously talking about how watermelons are considered offensive.”
A statement from an emergency worker in Rafah:
2/2
"Most of the bodies were charred and burned, while the injured people lost limbs and suffered other injuries due to the use of internationally prohibited weapons that caused the massive fire which erupted. We pulled out approx 50 people and injured people from the area and transported them to field hospitals after official hospitals were forced to evacuate in an attempt to destroy the health system in the Rafah area”
@Mary625@ZillaMon@appassionato@palestine we've already stated that we will stand by the ICC ruling on #Genocide, so that's something. we have the most trump-esque political yet in official opposition, but once trump goes to jail and loses the election hopefully #Canada will see that as a BAD thing
After a long morning of loading the POD, stuffing the car, cleaning, scrubbing, double-checking, all on very little sleep… we’re off! #Canada here we come.
For the next few days we'll be on the road to #Canada 🇨🇦, our new home. Bear with me for not replying w/ more than a "like" & for not live-posting the #TrumpTrial.
"Major oil companies have in recent years made splashy climate pledges to cut their greenhouse gas #emissions and take on the #climate crisis, but a new report suggests those plans do not stand up to scrutiny.
The US firms Chevron, ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil each ranked “grossly insufficient” on all 10 criteria."
Big Oil n Gas in #Canada will also keep producing climate disasters.
Key conclusions of their assessment are that “Canadian oil and gas companies have released a range of complex, misleading climate change pledges that must not be taken at face value.” Moreover, “despite all the talk from Canadian oil and gas companies about climate leadership, their current business plans would fuel further #climate disaster and global injustice.”
