At yesterday's barn quilt painting workshop "Harry" the Heron made a welcome appearance. His image tells this family's story of their memory of a father and his love of herons.

Can someone tell me what allows Poilievre to use the salutation "Honourable"?
Seriously, it's there a rule?

Vote!
This is an original barn quilt design I created to encourage all eligible Canadians to vote in our federal election, Monday, April 28.
The centre star represents your X and it is highlighted by the party colours of the most popular political parties.

This is one way democracy succeeds or fails.
When those who want to represent us fail to answer our questions in public, we have to ask ourselves in the ballot box:
"Are they worthy of our vote?"

I just turned 66 and I'm going to my first peaceful demonstration.

I just turned 66 and I'm going to my first peaceful demonstration.
The Liberal rep. on a local CBC political panel said Andrew Lawton will win the Elgin-St-Thomas-London South riding even though he is not attending any public debates or meet and greets.
And in spite of his past horrible comments.
We need every person who can, to come to this peaceful demonstration.

I've been volunteering for my local candidate DavidGoodwin.liberal.ca for the past two weeks.
I just realized today that he is one of the volunteers our builder brought to help us raise the timber frame of our 8-sided historic barn in 2012.
He is in the centre back in the red coat.
Small world.
