Climate change is going to cost a lot more than the carbon tax
#nlwx | This video, taken yesterday (March 29, 2024), shows the final stages of the washout at Rouzes Brook on the Port au Port Peninsula in the town of Cape St. George.
This is roughly 10 kilometers down Route 460 from Marches Point, which also washed out earlier this morning.
I know people are stranded between, but all I can say is thank goodness nobody appears to be hurt... or worse.
Video credit goes to Randy Alexander.

Seeing the state of the sidewalks in town, 48 hours after the storm, I cannot fathom how every city councilor doesn't resign in shame.

A network problem has meant some CBC radio programs across the country went off the air and offline Wednesday morning.
Technical teams are working to fix the issue. cbc.ca/news/canada/london/ca… .

The Colorado decision opens the way not just for more whining about witch hunts but for unprecedented confusion about whether and where Donald Trump is on the ballot.

ALT In an illustration by João Fazenda, Donald Trump stands before the steps of the Supreme Court building. The headline reads, “Should the Fourteenth Amendment Be Used to Disqualify Trump?”

If I could only listen to one voice til the end of time.
I’ll sing this Sunday at Glasgow’s Necropolis, city of the dead. Most were buried in mass common graves with no markers inc. Alexander Hume, writer of this tune.
Here’s to them.

4. Climate change is the biggest collective action problem in the history of the world and it is not at all clear that people, in Nova Scotia or elsewhere, are ready to do much about it even when it is killing us, wrecking our homes and burning our forests.

Was that the largest @StJohnsPrideNL Parade yet? I think it was. Fabulous day, everyone having fun.

Sue Johanson didn't just educate on, and promote, healthy sexuality with the Sunday Night Sex Show.
In her 60s and 70s and beyond she also dispelled ageist stereotypes and helped re-shape ideas around WHO could lead these discussions.
A trailblazer in every sense.
RIP Sue
Sue Johanson, the beloved Canadian broadcaster who in her golden years enraptured a generation with her frank advice on the Sunday Night Sex Show, has died at 93. cbc.ca/news/entertainment/su…

@CityofStJohns ... when will the reconfiguration of this intersection at the foot of Signal Hill actually happen? I was told two years ago it was "on the list" of approved infrastructure improvements. What's the delay? Because this intersection is an unmitigated sh#tshow!

Only two weeks to go till we hit the road for our 2023 Midsummer Tour so we thought we'd share a work-in-progress... it's our version of the Devil's Interval's version of the traditional song The Midsummer Carol ☀️😎🌞

An elderly Scottish lady taught Marlene how to plant these cottage gardens. They are simply maintenance free. Every few weeks something new pops up all summer long until the fall when everything dies off again until the next spring.

The eye of the gannet. Contrary to most news and other reports, northern gannets do not have blue eyes. Their irises are steely gray. It is their brilliant blue eye ring that gives the impression of blue eyes. Here' looking at you.
