My daughter sent me the local forecast for her neighbourhood of High Park in Toronto. Wear a tuque if you are out walking the dog after dinner.

Did 3 escape rooms at the Escaparium in Laval, outside Montreal. The wardrobe was one of the best escape rooms I had done and The Voodoo Queen was just as good.
But the 2.5 hour Magnifico was worlds beyond anything else. 3 live actors. Amazing set pieces. Well set up puzzles. Truly the undisputed best in the world. Travel to Montreal to do this!

#22 on our countdown is the 893 km La Grande River, which drains a modest watershed of 97,600 km2 in Quebec and flows westward into James Bay. In French, La Grande Rivière, and its original Cree name, Chisasibi, both mean "great river") and it is the second-longest river in the province. The river has been extensively developed as a source of hydroelectric power by Hydro-Québec, starting in 1974 a total of 8 hydroelectric dams have been built on the waterway. As a result of the development projects, the Cree people of the region lost parts of their traditional hunting and trapping territories. Organic mercury levels increased in the fish, which forms an important part of their diet, as the organic material is trapped by the rising waters in the new reservoirs.

Canada starts 'fuel tax holiday', including aviation fuel, expected to cost an estimated C$2.4 billion.
The stupidest tool from the box.
Keeps demand and prices artificially high, costs billions, and largely ends up with households that don't need support. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️🤦

Carney temporarily suspending federal fuel excise tax on gas, diesel and aviation fuel | CBC News
A day after sweeping three byelections in Ontario and Quebec that gave him a majority in the House of Commons, Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is temporarily removing the federal excise tax on gas and diesel.

No kidding! For me it is nausea and diarrhea at least twice a month. Can't complain the meds works at helping controlling my blood sugar and I don't have to go over to insulin.

Yup so great!

Challenges, both personal and professional, fuel growth. Just as gems need friction to shine, trials sharpen our resilience and skills. Embrace these moments – they craft your development. 🏅 As Seneca noted, "A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials." Let's cherish each hardship for the lessons they provide on our journey to excellence. #Inspiration #GrowthMindset

Charles Eisenstein began with this assumption, that everything is working and nobody is happy, and thought ok then what?

When the government offers to provide rebates or tax credits to low income Canadians, as recently announced by our Federal Government, most welcome the extra cash. But it doesn't address the key issue in affordable food, housing, or utilities. All of that extra government cash, provided by taxpayers BTW, gets sucked up by corporations that continue to rake in record profits. If you want to truly attack the #Affordability problem then implement laws that penalize excess profit taking by corporations. Take key necessities (food, transit, shelter, utilities, etc.) and create public options that are run as cooperatives and have controlled profit margins.
Marit Styles points out the difference between food prices at independent grocers versus the big chains. The policy position from @… on establishing a public grocery option makes sense, as long as we also protect the small independent vendors in our communities.

I just returned from a doctor appointment where she reviewed some test results. She told me my cholesterol was excellent and my tests looked like they were from someone 30 years younger. I think she was hitting on me a little bit...
Then she informed me that I was being referred to a colonoscopy clinic because I was overdue for a colon checkup. Totally ruined the mood...
On the bright side, the preparation required for that appointment may help me drop a few pounds.

So I joined a gym, the local YMCA, for the 1st time in my life. Yesterday I participated in my 1st drop-in exercise class and discovered I'm not as fit as I thought I was. I'm now committed to attending at least one exercise session each week. I might need my wife to drag me there occasionally.
