Down the hallway and into the heart of the curling action.

The final draw of day one at the Slam here in Nisku, Alberta.

And yes, music will be playing while the curlers are playing. Bruce Mouat told me he might start dancing during the game.

One of Canada’s most magical places…it is an awe-inspiring paddle.

“Often called the "jewel" of Jasper National Park, Spirit Island is a tiny, uninhabited strip of land with a near-mythical allure.”

The stunning Canadian island you can see but not touch

Hidden deep in the Rockies and only visible by boat, Spirit Island is one of Canada's most iconic places – and a sacred site for those who have sealed it off from the world.

F is for fascism. We need to start talking about the disintegration of the rule of law south of the border as the imposition of a modern gangster style fascism.

"Socialism is a big tent." ~ Naomi Klein

I am overjoyed to see people want to get back to our socialist roots in the NDP.🧡 This is what needs to happen to provide a real alternative in Canada.

"I'm running for leader of the federal NDP and it's not about me. It's about building collective power. It's about everyone in this call...It's about all of us, because we are at a historic moment and it is fascism that we are fighting." ~ Avi Lewis

1/4 acre wild enough to attract so many animals! Love it!
I’ve been propagating native species for the last ten years on my 1/2 acres, animals love it! Hazelnut, cranberry, elderberry to name a few.

Just got off the organizing call for @avilewis.ca, and this is the first time I’ve been excited about a politician since Jack Layton. Avi is the real deal and is bringing back the federal NDP to their roots. It’s about time #CdnPoli #NDPLeadershipRace #NDP #AviLewis

Stop Grocery Gouging - Lewis for Leader - National

Canada's true crisis is the everyday emergency of just trying to get by in an impossible economy.

We need a government that serves the many, not the money.
