Weird. I've been canvassing in Kanata. A lot of people are angry about the cuts this mayor made to the bus services. They understand that an unreliable bus system impacts their commute even when they drive.

On the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we acknowledge and reflect on the deep intergenerational harm residential schools have caused to Indigenous families and communities. Art by Elaine Landry #OrangeShirtDay #EveryChildMatters #TruthAndReconciliation
A handprint on an orange background. The handprint is broken into segments, inside of which are different symbols representing elements of Indigenous culture, including animal paw prints, landscapes with trees, and other images drawn from nature. There is a large black eagle feather on the left side of the handprint, and bird silhouettes appear in the upper left hand corner of the image. The words EVERY CHILD MATTERS appear at the bottom of the piece.

Given the hard cap you promise for tax increases, I'd like to know what services you plan to cut to add pool access. Or is this just a broken promise waiting to happen?

Prime Minister is promising new legislation to ‘Build Canada Strong’. It seems amending the Canada Labour Code is part of the plan, but strengthening workers rights isn’t what he’s talking about. The real Carney wants foreign investment above all and is prepared to sacrifice labour rights to get it.

My sunflowers have had a fabulous year. The bees are loving it also.
Several sunflower blooms at different stages. The freshest one has petals that are dark red with the brown seed area showing lots of pollen. The oldest bloom has a more faded red section and the seed area it starting to look pretty fat.This single sunflower bloom has solid gold colored petals. Another flower bud is also visible.This bloom has lemon yellow petals and features a big fat bee at work.This sunflower is viewed from the back and shows pale petals with red streaks.
