Christmas gift I made this year for my sister. It can be a floor cloth or wall hanging. It measures 5’ x 5’ and was painted with acrylic.

I’m befuddled that Canadians are still going south as “snow birds”.

Jenny @nerdyelk.bsky.social · Oct 3

I’m beyond disappointed

Horrific on so many levels! This law will disproportionately affect vulnerable peoples. Social problems will never be solved through incarceration. I call bullshit on this reducing calls for service, and the medical system in MB is already strained. This needs to be challenged in court.

Love this!

American governors are trying to convince Canadians to travel to their states. "We love you," the governors have said.

Here are some of the welcoming ambassadors Canadians will face travelling down there:

Thank you!!

As would I! They should see what’s happening to indigenous communities and our irreplaceable wilderness.

I live in northern Manitoba. The devastation of these fires is beyond imagining. The wind gusts since yesterday are definitely not helping. Politicians talking of pipelines and private sector investments seems tone deaf when facing this climate disaster.

For years, the NDP has demanded that the federal government create the infrastructure necessary to deal with extreme weather events.
That's why I requested an emergency debate on wildfire evacuations, which will take place tomorrow evening.

They absolutely are

Luckily mine is all grown, but it was a serious juggling act 10 years ago. It’s got to be ludicrous now!

Being a single parent is extremely expensive!

I don’t recall voting to give a “strong mandate” to work with the US. Pretty sure it was about strengthening Canada and shoring up other trade partners. Disappointed doesn’t adequately describe how I feel.

Jenny @nerdyelk.bsky.social · May 21

I hope he’s lying yet again. I don’t want my country consorting with the US while the current administration reigns.

Thank you Dee, for sharing and supporting your husband!

Interesting way to entice manufacturing back to the US.

It feels like there’s been a shift to adoration of politicians. It’s troubling.

Jenny @nerdyelk.bsky.social · May 15

I’m a skeptic as well. The talk of private investors is a big concern for me. People/environment over companies or private interests. And Canadian investment over external investment.

If you knew anything about crimes against women, you’d know it’s about power and control and lack of moral character of the offender.

C’mon Ontario!! Don’t let Ford continue to wreak havoc on your province!

Perhaps Canada could “cut wasteful spending” by having a government home for the PM and the leader of the opposition and just have one for the PM. I hope PP’s behaviour makes this a reality. Then this won’t ever be an issue again.

Jenny @nerdyelk.bsky.social · May 13

Also, with Premier Wab Kinews’ recent announcements of power to Nunavut, more shipping through Churchill, potential second port opening, etc, this is all very good news for an often forgotten and much deserving northern population!

Jenny @nerdyelk.bsky.social · May 13

You’re welcome! I was very excited to see her and her appointment.

Jenny @nerdyelk.bsky.social · May 13

Rebecca Chartrand is from northern Manitoba riding, just as a correction. I only know because I live in her riding. She was elected over NDPs Nikki Aston.
