Good Morning #Canada
Today is a twofer of #CanadaRivers as we countdown the longest rivers in Canada.
#23 is the Red River which flows for 890 km, originating at the confluence of the Bois de Sioux and Otter Tail rivers between the U.S. states of Minnesota and North Dakota, flowing northward through the Red River Valley and continuing into Manitoba. It empties into Lake Winnipeg, whose waters join the Nelson River and ultimately flow into Hudson Bay. The river only falls 70 metres over it's length, so there are no hydroelectric opportunities, but because it drains a large watershed of 287,500 km2 it experiences significant spring volumes. This has led to calamitous (love that word) floods plaguing southern Manitoba for centuries. Flood canals and ice cutting (physical removal of large blocks every spring) have mitigated the risks but not eliminated them.

Coastal First Nations group (comprising multiple First Nations on the North Coast of BC) tell the Prime Minister to shove it...
“We also made our positions very clear and reiterated those positions around our stance regarding the oil pipeline, and that has not changed.”
OK, not exactly that undiplomatic, but I'm sure the feeling is the same in Alberta. Thank you to these First Nations for having the decency and good sense to stick to their guns.
There will be no more pipelines. None. Ever, in BC. That is the way it must be.

"I have always believed in deeds, not words."
As the ongoing Russian attacks keep crippling our infrastructure (as seen from a cold unpowered home with a failing cell connection), I am left with few options. One of them, ruminating before sleep on a strange recurring phenomenon. If not careful, we become what we fight.
We're not infallible. It's the values we keep, the tradeoffs we make to succeed that shape us.
Be vigilant. Watch yourself.
And stay sa…
