Good Morning #Canada
B.C. is full of hipsters, Alberta is oil obsessed, Ontario has a superiority complex, PEI prays to potatoes, and all Newfies drink Screech at breakfast. Every Province and Territory is known for their unique habits, culture, and views of the world. And we all hold expectations and misconceptions of our neighbours across internal borders. Hey, it's a long winter and we need some gossip to get us to the end of it.
The attached video provides a detailed rundown of stereotypes for each Province and Territory, and some of the content is accurate, like Toronto being the centre of the universe. It's a bit long but you can select a chapter to check out your Province, or one that you dislike. My favourite is Albertans pouring oil on their cereal.

Just look at the position Trump is in right now. Elites are already turning against him. There are already fractures in his own party.

The facts in Ukraine are, Ukraine losses of territory are minimal, Russian losses are unsustainable. So all the talk of Ukraine “losing the war” is factually incorrect. At the same time Ukraine wants a ceasefire as soon as possible and even resume talks. But only if Russia stops attacking (my impression).

Excellent piece by @… on the ebb and flow of creative work and the inevitability and importance of fallow periods.
“What I failed to notice: that the fallow periods were doing something too. They were composting. I was taking in books and conversations and experiences without the pressure to immediately metabolize them into output. I was wandering without a map, which meant I sometimes stumbled into territory I never would have found if I'd been navigating by GPS.
The harvest seasons, when they returned, drew on seeds I hadn't remembered planting.”

Good Morning #Canada
In 1896, gold was discovered on a tributary of the Klondike River, leading to tens of thousands of people (mostly Americans) racing north in the #KlondikeGoldRush. Canada feared that the United States would take control of the area (they purchased Alaska in 1867), so the Canadian government sent in the North-West Mounted Police to establish control of the region. The Klondike Gold Rush established the frontier town of Whitehorse, named for the rapids lying south of the settlement. On 13 June 1898, the Yukon Territory Act created Yukon as a separate Canadian territory and placed its capital at Dawson City. During #WWII Whitehorse became an important base of operations for the U.S. military as they built the Alaska Highway. Whitehorse was incorporated as a city in 1950, and in 1953, it became the capital of Yukon when the government was moved from Dawson City.

Good Morning #Canada
Today we reach the end of the #CanadianCapitals series and I've left the Keystone Province for last. Manitoba, with IMO the best Premier and worst flag, has Winnipeg as its capital. The city lies at the junction of the Assiniboine River and the Red River, an historic focal point for canoe routes travelled by Aboriginal peoples for thousands of years. The fur trade brought forts, both British and French, and conflict amongst trappers and indigenous people. In 1869, the Hudson's Bay Company formally surrendered its charter rights over the western half of Canada, prompting Louis Riel to attempt a rebellion and become an independent territory before the Canadian government got organized. That ended badly for Louis and in 1870 Manitoba became a province with Winnipeg as its capital. A fun fact: The Royal Winnipeg Ballet is Canada’s oldest dance company and also the longest continuously operating ballet company in North America.
