Keep growing little tree. Pro tip to owning a house #1. Don’t plant new perennials during a high temperature year. Don’t know what will be more expensive the garden centre total, or water bill.
Gone are the days of me coding colour combinations and hoping they look a’ight together when the plot shows up.

Many many kudos to @wbuggiii who is now a DOCTOR! Today reminded me of just one more thing this pandemic took away. That is the many many memorable Friday beer debate sessions, which have been dearly missed! So glad to celebrate with you for your big achievement!!!
HUGE congrats to @wbuggiii for successfully defending his PhD today. Effects of temperature on developing #LakeSturgeon! Wonderful work and can't wait to see where the next step takes you!

I was just asked to be on The National to discuss Roe and abortion...and then I found out it would be a panel with a "pro-life/anti-abortion" voice. I am livid and sent this reply. I couldn't care less if this means I will not be asked back to the CBC. It needed to be said.

Omicron might eventually get all of us, but Premier Stefanson chose for it to "get everyone" in a few weeks rather than a few months. Can our health system withstand the surge? Can individuals who've had surgeries/procedures cancelled survive/thrive? Gambling with our lives.
