They are fabulous. The pelican is 100% my spark bird. I liked birds before them, my mom had bird feeders and I'd watch the local bluejays, but when we visited Florida and I saw a pelican?! OBSESSED. I remember begging my parents for a pelican stuffie in Clearwater. Kept it for a very long time!

I live in Ottawa and would say when it hits -15C it's cold, but it's not unpleasant to ride. Unpleasant is when we get -20C with a nasty windchill. BUT (as @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social said), the real deterrent is plowing/not yet plowed roads. I can prepare for cold. I can't plow the roads.

Your reminder that after the Federal government gave an official apology for residential schooling, the then PM Harper stated at a G20 conference one of the reasons Canada was so well liked and "stable" is because "we have no history of colonialism"... #LandBack rabble.ca/indigenous/h...

Harper in denial at G20: Canada has 'no history of colonialism'
“We also have no history of colonialism…” Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped this outrageous assertion into a response to a question at a G20 news conference on Friday in Pittsburgh. That the PM can not only harbour this delusion in his mind but also feel unembarrassed enough to verbalize it is a shocking testament to […]

Ongoing debate at our place because I want a covered porch to sit on in the rain. (We sit out front A LOT when the weather is nice) But, it's north facing so the trade off is then losing more light in the front window....

Also: I'm calling it. 910 is gonna be this year's winner. She is massive and her mama taught her good (also a former champion for fattest bear. 🤴🤴).

I am not a fan of climbing (which I know is hilarious to say since I do most of my recreational riding in the park!) but the lack of cars and potential for birds, deer, and the occasional bear (if the fates allow) outweighs all other options. But I definitely don't bike for speed! 😂

Looks like it's the app (on some phones) or still tickets. Don't think you can just tap your card yet... www.mtlblog.com/stm-phone-pa...

Montrealers can now tap their phones to pay STM fares — but there's still one catch
It depends which type of phone you have.

Afaik this is it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The site suggests they're around gorging in the river from late june until mid-October...I guess this is their chance to take their best before/after pictures? If they wait then mebbe the bears are off on the move again?
