A breathtaking drive through Alberta’s 🇨🇦 majestic Rocky Mountains — where towering peaks, turquoise lakes, and winding highways come together to create one of Canada’s most spectacular landscapes

Kootenay Plains Ecological Reserve (est 1987) on Highway 11 Alberta.
Warm chinook winds have melted winter snow, exposing grasses and providing food for elk, deer and, until the late 1800s, bison. Grizzly bears and wolves, as well as migrating birds rely on this montane region for survival

We hit the trails for the annual ATVBC Poker Ride at Logan Lake, BC 🇨🇦!
It was an epic day of dust, mountain views. The mission? Drive up the dusty logging roads and high into the mountains to find the poker stations and best hand wins!

With Canada Post on strike I decided to courier a letter overseas. The prices ranged from $108 to $173!!! For an envelope!!!
Needless to say, I will wait and hope the strike is over soon.

I am allergic to mint so finding toothpaste I can handle is a battle. (Dentists love me - almost everything they have is mint LOL) I usually use Arm and Hammer, but I am out of my supply so I hope the cinnamon is good.

Same blood.
Different skin.
One fight.

symbolic image showing a clenched fist painted in multiple skin tones — from white to dark brown — with what looks like red liquid resembling blood dripping down.

The image likely represents unity among different races and the shared pain or struggle related to issues like racism, inequality, or social justice

Buying Canadian 🇨🇦 toothpaste! Expensive? Yes, but what isn’t nowadays? I am supporting a Canadian business, keeping my money in Canada, and able to get a non-mint flavour! (Notice the spelling 😉)

Thank you! I like yours as well - a fellow history lover.

We lament about this kind of thing a lot. It used be there were small appliance repair shops all over - I haven’t seen one in years. We try to fix our own items if we can, but sadly society has become lazy - would rather throw away and buy new. Manufacturers have made this problem even worse.

Salty Beaver 🇨🇦🍁🇩🇪 @saltybeaver.bsky.social · 13d

I agree.

#MargaretAtwood, #Canadian author of #TheHandmaid’sTale, interviewed in the 90’s about #USA government “actually” becoming a #totalitarian country.

Asked, “you don’t see the USA actually going this route? “. She says, “wanna bet?”

WTH? Americans can keep their shit on their own side of the fence. They want to brainwash Canadian kids now!?

Plus Hegseth calling all the military leaders for a meeting next week… and no one know why.
Feels foreboding.

The wording of this post is scary: “war ravaged” “under siege from attack” and “full force”. Is he getting ready to declare martial law?

Canada Post on strike again! Why does this happen EVERY time I have a time sensitive document I need to send overseas! I guess it will have to wait….

Definitely going to Schwartz’s. Poutine is on the list. I love history and was thinking of maybe doing a ghost tour. I also need an idea to do with kids one evening (12 and 8).

I am so excited! This BC girl is going to Montreal in October! We have driven through the city before, but have never stopped to explore.
I’m looking for suggestions on the best things to do or see in Old Montreal.
