Hello #birding mastodon. I saw a bird ground feeding yesterday (no photo) that I can only identify as a painted redstart, but that would be wildly unusual here in southern #Ontario #Canada. It was red-brown un…

If you're looking for a cell plan in Canada, I've been with Public Mobile, ‘discount Telus’, for years and am happy with their service. This is my referral link. You get a $10 credit and I get a "point”.
Their website is minimalist and good. Telus’ network is reliable and widespread (uses Bell elsewhere). You can order a SIM/eSIM online.
I have 40GB 5G for $35/mo unlimited in Canada. They have a special for 60GB 5G Canada/US/Mexico.

Good Morning #Canada
OTD in 1904, the City of Niagara Falls was incorporated, with a population of approximately 7,000 residents. Niagara Falls was already a major tourist attraction with numerous hotels established in the 1880s, and it was the honeymoon destination for most of Canada and the USA. Today, you can visit the far superior Canadian Falls and play golf, visit War of 1812 historical sites, or deposit some money at the casino.

Good Morning #Canada
It's National Junk Food day, which, for me, is any day ending with the letter "y." Celebrated every year on July 21st, this day is dedicated to the foods we like to snack on, meaning today, you can eat junk food for every meal. Junk food is not a new phenomenon, as crafty entrepreneurs have been taking advantage of our taste buds for over a hundred years. Here's a look back at some of Canada’s best versions of this food category.

Make no mistake. This is a USA automaker and oil company hit job on the independence and sovereignty of the Canadian economy.
They are trying to reverse the inevitable so they can continue their own businesses as usual for as long as possible.
It can't be allowed to happen. Canada is already lagging far behind other nations. Our Economy and our Society and our burning forests, will suffer if our government gives in to this pressure.

It's World #Emoji Day! Let's all celebrate by sending small cartoonist images that people over 50 can barely see. Why are they so small
It's also a great day to celebrate the creation of the most important Emoji in history. Yes, after thousands of years waiting, the iconic 🦫has only been with us 6 years, but it feels like forever. Here is a repost of how Canada’s favourite mammal opened up communications with the rest of the world.

I am sure Trump had no desire to see Zelensky and risk a repeat of his embarrassing performance while surrounded with people who also think he is a dangerous fool.

The good news is, now the adults on the Good Guys side can have a proper discussion on how to keep Putin (and Iran and Israel) from making things even worse.

You're damn right it is madness. We need to scrap these terrible systems.
"Suzuki says that, despite his understanding of the climate crisis, Carney — like all of us — is trapped by the economic and political systems we've created. And for Suzuki, our only hope for survival is to scrap those systems entirely.
David Suzuki joins Jayme Poisson on the podcast for a wide-ranging discussion from what a world of irreversible climate change looks like to what he describes as the "madness" of continued investment in fossil fuels to the lessons environmentalists of the future can take from the past.”

Dear Ambassador Hoekstra. You can shove that gas lighting lie right back up where it came from.
"Hoekstra says Canada becoming a U.S. state hasn’t come up in his discussions with Canadians, adding it’s a” media driven thing.” “If Canadians want to talk about it or dwell on it, that’s their business,” Hoekstra said. “But at the end of the day, that’s a Canadian decision. That’s not an American decision.””

omg this is just too tragic. :(
I realize I’m yelling into the void here but for the love of god people, GET VACCINATED. All of them. Always.
You don't know who you'd be saving... including potentially this newborn who got it from their mother, who was unvaccinated for reasons unknown and got it from ?
If Ontario, and Canada, had a fully vaccinated (for all who can take the vaccine) population, this newborn would not have had measles *the day it was born*.

I am willing to be pleasantly surprised, but... when all I see from these "major projects" is oil and gas and other 20th century backwards nonsense, I can't help but be pessimistic.
Ironically, a real "nation building" project that would be a huge benefit to Canadians would be more akin to something from the 19th century: Standing up a true public railway corporation and rebuilding a high speed electrified rail network from sea to sea to sea that could reduce transportation costs and increase flexibility and convenience for millions of Canadians and businesses including in remote communities.
But our current leadership is too beholden to existing capitalist interests and status quo business to be that bold. And they're positively allergic to anything done purely in the public interest. How dare we not include some profiteering private corporation… /sarc
