My Chrome landing page is mostly about elections right now! (I also just now noticed that it's 2222 days since I quit smoking)

I have found that folks from the big cities on the west coast sound pretty much the same. So people from Vancouver (me), Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, LA & San Diego. The accents change once you cross the coastal mountains. Also in some niche areas like the San Fernando Valley.

Yup!
The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. 

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

We had access to a cabin in Hope when I was a kid. Visiting the tunnels was a regular thing. But this was the 70s and there were no bridges, so we couldn't walk the full length. Here is a pic with the first bridge in 1987. Very different from now! The greenery was to hide the bridge for a movie.

It's cowards all the way down! From: www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safe...
From the CDC website:
Vaccine Safety
Autism and Vaccines
July 22, 2026
Key points
- The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.
- Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.
- HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

Vancouver is no stranger to the type of smoke you are experiencing. It's been going on for years. But then you see shit like this, and realize nobody in power really gives a shit.

He argued that downgrading the country’s climate-change ambitions is necessary for global stability and national unity.” With a picture of today’s very bad air quality map replacing the picture of Carney that originally accompanied it.
