Rusty/yellow shrubbery lines a craggy coastline. Spots of green grass cover the pale dirt and a few rocks are scattered about. Large bedrock juts into the ocean and in the distance a peninsula. The sky is in flux with clouds moving rapidly across the sky. The sun is not visible but provides a brightness to the frame

My friends ordered a steel, wood-fired boiler to heat water. It went through the U.S. from Mexico. U.S. customs *drilled 3 fucking holes in it*, rendering it useless. Searching for drugs I guess. It wasn't even destined for the U.S. and they destroyed it. Friends paid ⤴️ $1,000 to get it here. Gone.

This Thanksgiving, I am especially grateful to be Canadian. We are far from perfect. We have a lot of work to do on Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. But I am grateful to live in a liberal democracy that celebrates diversity. I am grateful we are not a fascist dictatorship.🇨🇦❤️🍁

The first woman - in the this case the first Canadian woman - to do the job is often not appreciated at the time and I usually disagree.

This time, it’s different…

Being the first woman to do the job <br />doesn't mean they'll like you.
