Todd Lowen. Allows cougar hunting in Provincial Parks (previously illegal). Allows hunters to kill “problem” grizzlies. Proposes delisting +130 Ha of the province’s most beloved park, named after the best Premier. Proposes delisting portions of a PRA to sell it off for condos. That’s just the start

I've no expertise in this area, but I've seen similar detail descriptions in Pixar characters and elsewhere. I know I have just seen the surface scratched, but such attention to detail ALWAYS shows in the final product, even if the average Joe (me) doesn't know it's there.

Awesome. They just shut my Neato's servers down rendering it useless 2 years after its sale to Vorwerk, so I bought a Roomba. Now that will go away, too, I bet.

From your perspective, makes no sense. From the store's perspective, it makes a lot of sense. "Premium, specialty, high quality" (more expensive & profitable) cheese is kept at a deli area, and away from the less expensive bulk cheeses in dairy. Changes perceptions. Changes buying habits.

I was always taught that Coyotes hunt solo but often live, feed & travel in family units. If one got a deer, I suspect the rest of the family would show up.

I'm proud that my (mostly estranged) daughter works for the Girl Guides of Canada in Communications. I know she helped move Brownies to Sparks, and knowing her, strongly suspect she had a hand in this. #prouddad

Seriously unfair... Flamingos. Hummingbirds. Fairy Penguins. Nuthatches. Canada Jays. Any raptor. No way I could narrow it down to 1, nor even 10.
