Hey, #ontario , frustrated with the state of things in the province? Get out and #vote today! All you need is ID with your home address on it. Not sure where to go? Check out elections.on.ca to find out where your polling station is. [Image is from @fairvotecanada]

Well, this #haiku is proving to have long legs!

It appears in today's edition of Asahi Haikuist, alongside the work of so many other great poets:

On the eve of tariffs, it's sadly appropriate that this #senryu on mine appeared in today's Asahi Haikuist Network. Doing my best to #BuyCanadian 🍁

A senryu (a Japanese style poem like a haiku that comments on current affairs) that reads "costing more/ten itemes/or less"

A final #haiku for 2024, published alongside many other great poems in "Tan-ku for Ukraine". May peace prevail on Earth.

PSA while you should be keeping your cats indoors anyway (domestic cats kill 1 billion birds a year and are the leading cause of avian extinction) now there is an overwhelming positive reason for the cat not to go outside.

PSA for cat owners in the US: cats have been contracting H5N1 (bird flu). They are very susceptible to it and the fatality rate for cats is 67%. To avoid it:

-keep your cats indoors. They can catch it from infected birds and mice.

-do not feed them raw dairy

-do not feed them raw meat
