An old Michel Rivard song has been on my mind lately. It speaks of the Québécois experience in North America. But I think we can all relate now.

"C'est pas toujours facile d'être seule au milieu
D'un continent immense où ils règlent le jeu,
Où ils mènent la danse, où ils sont si nombreux" #cdnpoli

It's a weirdly patriotic experience to go grocery shopping in Canada this week.

Just aisle after aisle of people angrily reading labels while occasionally exchanging knowing glances.

Right now, we* get an extra 2 minutes and 30 seconds of daylight with each passing day. By the end of February the rate of change will accelerate to nearly 3 minutes of extra sunlight per day.

*Numbers will vary depending on latitude. Check your local listings.

Confessions of a Reluctant Nationalist

I'd throw a punch to fight for Canada's sovereignty while reserving and exercising my right to criticize this country. That's a fine form of patriotism.

Canada has a third of the world's freshwater, untold reserves of oil and natural gas, and millions of acres of uninhabited land that's increasingly liveable and farmable as the planet warms.

Nobody should take threats on our sovereignty lightly.

I wrote about the reaction to the shooting of a CEO.

"It seems to me that when you create a world where human life has been made as cheap as possible, you will eventually find you live in a world where your human life is deemed by others to be cheap, too."

Peaceful Solutions

On respectable and profitable human-suffering engines, the murder of a CEO, propriety in a land where life has been cheapened, and some good news for those who seek peaceful solutions.

Hey local peeps. The Gathering Place is looking for deodorant to fill their Christmas stockings. They have a company who committed to doing 400 stockings. Just need deodorant to add. Anyone maybe have a spare they can add to a collection we could get going? #NLbluesky

This is unsustainable, especially now that billionaires are taking over our government.

A tweet from Americans For Tax Fairness announces that the combined wealth of four wealthy Americans has reached $1 trillion. It names Musk, Bezos, Ellison, and Zuckerberg, noting their wealth was $74 billion twelve years ago.
