Accurate & absolutely chilling.

"By annexing #Canada & Greenland, the United States would simultaneously seize massive wealth & control of both the Northwest Passage & surrounding arctic waters.
To emphasize, this is about a colossal land, water & resource grab.
The tariffs are intended to weaken us so this theft can take place
We’re not talking “purchase” or “buying”
We’re talking theft by force
Fighting back be will hard & it is the fight of our lives"

@plants #SucculentSunday
A little cheer for your day 🙂
I had a feeling the other day that I had edited some pics to post then didn't have time/oomph, but couldn't remember what they were, nor where! Just thought about this #cactus that flowered and when I looked for the pics-- all ready to go including alt! Gymnocactus ysabelae (or moved into Turbinicarpus as species or subspecies) #houseplants #IndoorGardening #BloomScrolling #WindowsillGardening #WinterBright #Alberta #Canada

Looking through the window from outside at the plant, the flower is now fully open, petals slightly reflexed and showing a faint blush of pink as well as the stripes on the back showing through. The light seems muted and a bit moody. In the background we can see, blurred, part of a wooly whitish cactus to the left, and behind long golden spines of another. A white blob over that one, may be one of the mysterious other dimensional orbs that people see!(or some debris on the window glass...) A partial view of a small cactus 4-5inches/8-11cm tall, somewhere between ball and barrel shape. It is densely covered with spines, many fine gold, reddish tipped which radiate from the aereoles (points where spines originate, each on a small tubercle) upward at first near the new growth at the top of the plant, becoming straight then flat on older part. From the centre of each aereole a single thicker dark spine curves up towrd the centre of the plant. Clumps of fine white wool also grow from each areole, so we only see hints of the green body where the angle is right to see the tubercle bases.
Looking down on the entire plant, flower nearly fully open looking nearly flat from above but not reflexed as it would a bit later in the afternoon. The sun is hitting the plant, coming from behind. It looks chonky and a bit like a little hedge hog and we can see- blurred- the gravel that covers its soil, as well as the rim of the plastic pot, painted sandy grey. A partial view of a small cactus 4-5inches/8-11cm tall, somewhere between ball and barrel shape. It is densely covered with spines, many fine gold, reddish tipped which radiate from the aereoles (points where spines originate, each on a small tubercle) upward at first near the new growth at the top of the plant, becoming straight then flat on older part. From the centre of each aereole a single thicker dark spine curves up towrd the centre of the plant. Clumps of fine white wool also grow from each areole, so we only see hints of the green body where the angle is right to see the tubercle bases.
The flower is just opening, rising straight up and the whitish petals barely beginning to separate at the top.We can see a pink stripe on the back of a petal and greey brown on the outside of smaller ones(sepals?). It is surrounded by some extra wool and a few small dark dried bits from previous flowers (last season).Background is blurred mottled grungy window.

Well that’s a historic #cdnpoli shift!

Phil Fournier’s Federal Polling site 338 has found that the Maple MAGA aka the Conservative Party’s Majority Govt lead - and hopes of forming government - have melted like the snow under the fiery heat of #Trump attacks on #Canada’s economy and sovereignty.

PM Carney’s Liberal hopes are rising.

the Canadian federal government has cut back Jordan's Principle funding for Indigenous kids and blames the provinces for not stepping up.

but the entire goddamn point of Jordan's Principle is supposed to be to provide care that kids need so they **don't** fall through the cracks while federal and provincial politicians bicker about who should provide badly needed funding!

@tprophet There is only faint hope of repairing the damage The Donald has done to Canada-USA relations. I don't think even if the next #USA President were an Obama or Biden that it would move the needle of Canadian public opinion. After seven decades of living in Canada, I've never seen such cool determination to see this through - decoupling #Canada from the USA. I believe the damage is done, and it's permanent. Canada will come out stronger, but it will take time...🇨🇦

I went food shopping tonight and put my money where my mouth is; striding past the bourbons, I grabbed a bottle of Canadian whisky instead. I'm sipping it as I post now and am happy to report that this kind of solidarity with the Canadians is pure pleasure.

As Mark Carney is sworn in, America’s democratic decline has critical lessons for Canadian voters
“Ultimately, institutions alone do not protect a country from the rise of authoritarianism. Democracy can be fragile. As a federal election approaches in Canada, it’s important to know the warning signs of extremism and anti-democratic practices that are creeping into our politics.”

Australia's Prime Minister has had a single phone call with Trump, while its ambassador to the US, a former Prime Minister, is on the record calling the US leader a 'traitor', 'destructive' and 'village idiot'.

Australia is pushing on with backing Ukraine, offering up continued financial support and peacekeepers should a ceasefire eventuate, but has so far done nothing in response to tariffs.

The Australian people are pissed and embarking on their own boycotts, particularly incensed by the United State's treatment of Canada for who they hold great sympathy and friendship and in which they see a blueprint for their own treatment. Something's brewing and the status quo will not hold. When the 'relationship' breaks, it's going to break hard.

Small #bookbinding update! I've been dormant since little one came in October but I'm getting ready to dust my tools off soon.

I recently purchased a new laptop case from a great #Canadian #Etsy shop that specializes in making crafts from old kimonos. The artist offers packs of scrap pieces perfect for A5 journals. Really excited to get started!

If you like them, check it out here:

The #Framework Laptop 13 is a slightly unusual size and aspect ratio. So, instead of getting a case that "kind of" fits, I had one custom made from this great #Canadian artist from #Quebec on #Etsy who specializes in making things from kimono fabrics. This is my second one from them and the quality of both is excellent. If you are in the market for a new case, please give their shop a look:
