Melissa😘 made lots of Thanksgiving food for supper that we ate on Sunday. My sister Justine makes a tasty berry crumble (or chutney) & Adena makes a quinoa-beet salad that fits the season. ‘When abundance finds you, build a longer table, not a higher fence’. #Thanksgiving #CanadianThanksgiving

Melissa Zwaan 😘 and I went to Rock'N August at St. Albert’s Lion’s/Red Willow Park. Lots of classic cars. As the years march on, ‘classic’ becomes more redefined, with more cars from the 1970s & 1980s. #classiccars #classiccarsworld #nostalgia #1950s #1960s #1970s #1980s #convertible #classic

@guardtheleaf.bsky.social Hey There, really enjoy your YouTube content. I just followed you on Instagram. I just found a pleasant, super pro-Canada/anti-US potential news item on LinkedIn. Can I send it to you?

With temperatures increasing, a refreshing wheat beer and time with friends or family are good ways to relax. Our One Tame Cheetah Canadian Hefeweizen is a delicious reminder!😊 #albertabeer #canadianbeer #albertacraftbeer #canadiancraftbeer #craftbeer #hefeweizen #wheatbeer #abcraftbeer

A reminder for anyone to show who is responsible for what in government at all levels in Canada. It’s easy to forget or just not always know. #civics #government #canpoli

I recently found these photos online. It’s an absolute nostalgic Easter blast from the past…from my Grandma (popcorn) and my Nana (chocolate)! #easter #easterchocolate #chocolateeastereggs #pinkelephantpopcorn #nostalgia #childhood #childhoodmemories

Make voting a priority. People the world over don’t have this democratic right. Your workplace is obligated to give you time to vote. Advance polling stations are open now. Please don’t take this for granted. #electionscanada #democracy #democracyinaction #notbelow70

With the choices & challenges ahead, here’s a reminder in a Dominion Supermarket ad in The Lethbridge Herald from the early ‘60s to ‘Buy Canadian’. We’re responsible to support one another and solutions aren’t often binary. #newspapers #lethbridge #buycanadian #nostalgic #alberta

I’ve always been a watch guy. This is my Canadian ‘Frank Forta’ quartz watch in Emerald (it comes in 4 watch face colours). The colours represent the seasonal changes of Alberta’s Moraine Lake, found in Banff National Park-seen in an engraving on the case back. #watches

Trump is going to damage the United States’ reputation the world over and create upheaval through alienation by the time his term is over.
I cannot see how much more ‘united’ individual states will be with his method of governance, either. #politica #politics #usa #chaos

Our friends & neighbours in Mexico are celebrating their flag day. Many Mexican citizens were on social media cheering Canada on February 15 as we celebrated the 60th anniversary of our Maple Leaf flag. Let’s return the compliment. Felicidades compañeros! #mexicanflag #mexicanflag🇲🇽 #mexico #mexico🇲🇽

I believe George Carlin also referred to ‘pre-boarding’ the same way: “Are we not just ‘boarding’?”
