So grateful we have Premier Susan Holt.
Higgs was just not up for moving forward. He was too focused on going backward. He couldn't even cope with a second language, let alone co-operating with the federal government... or anyone that wasn't religious extreme right.
And if anyone wants to quibble about perfection - Go
Away.

#Trump promised #peace in #Ukraine within a day. Here's what actually happened
Trump often promised to get a deal to end the fighting in Ukraine in 1 day, but >4 months since his 2nd-term inauguration that goal looks as far away as ever.
#Russia proposed another attempt at negotiations w/Ukraine on Monday in Istanbul, but both sides remain firmly entrenched in their positions on territorial disputes & #sovereignty that have thus far made substantial progress unlikely.

Pompeo urges #Trump not to legitimize Russia’s land grabs in Ukraine
Former U.S. State Secretary Mike #Pompeo warned against recognizing #Russia’s #sovereignty over #Crimea and other #Ukrainian #territories seized by force, calling it “a mistake of epic proportions” during remarks at the #BlackSea Security Forum in #Odesa on May 31.

Scored a truck bed full of "waste" produce from the Joshua Tree farmer's market. All of this, because it's ugly, would be thrown away. Some of the farmers compost, but many don't -- which is insane to me, but most of these farmers are from semi-small farms that are still run in a relatively industrialized kind of way.
But we're thrilled to take it home. All of this is divided up and will be given to our chickens. What is too bad for them to eat gets composted, but we like to let them compost most of it for us - they're better at it, and we rely less on the feed supplier the more we can feed them scraps.
If you have a local market, try asking for the uglies. Most vendors will have carrot tops, watermelon rinds, apple cores, and the like from putting out samples and pulling the unwanted greens off of popular veggies. Fruit sellers often have "seconds": bruised or ugly fruit they aren't allowed to sell. Our fruit guy told us their farm PAYS MONEY to ship the ugly fruit to dairy farms.
Even if you don't have animals to eat it, most of the ugly food is edible. You could use or distribute the free produce. I jam, can, and dry most of the fruit and throw the worst of it to the chickens. Sad veggies can become nutritious stock. You get the idea. There is no reason for this to go to a landfill and create methane. (If you have some time and a little land, you could feed a pig on extras like this and then have enough meat to feed a family of four for a few months after a year). Small steps towards sovereignty -- this is what we need.

@tantramar Don't understand why anyone from NB would need to go to Maine.
We've got the same physical environment. NB is gorgeous! Rivers. Lakes. Ocean. Beaches. Forests to hike and camp. Great food. Rocky, scenic coast. National park. Provincial parks.
Except we're a little cooler.
And safer.
It is rare for the monarch to deliver what’s called the speech from the throne in #Canada. #KingCharles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, did it twice in her 70-year reign. The last time was in 1977.
Canadians are largely indifferent to the monarchy, but #Carney has been eager to show the differences between Canada & the #US & he said that the king’s visit clearly underscores the #sovereignty of Canada.
#KingCharles III arrives in Ottawa on Monday to underscore #Canada’s #sovereignty to #Trump.
Trump’s repeated suggestion that the US #annex its northern neighbor prompted Prime Minister #MarkCarney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne that will outline his government’s agenda for the new Parliament. The king is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.

I am extremely grateful for the great work of @mailbox_org @threemaapp @signalapp @nextcloud @openstreetmap @mullvadnet and all the others that fight for #sovereignty and against #bigtech. The #unplugtrump movement would not be possible without you.
You have been at this for years, and I just opened my eyes a few months ago.
Looking back over the last 6 months I have done a lot for my personal digital detox and #sovereignty - with a healthy mix of #BoycottAmerica and #BuyFromEU
I moved my mails, contacts, calendars, maps, photos, switched browsers, got a VPN, adopted new messengers, dropped PayPal, Netflix, Amazon, Dropbox, ChatGPT, ...
I am now both super grateful and super angry.
'Elbows Up' – A True Canadian Hockey Move
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's 'elbows up' phrase in 2025 was a call to action. Symbolizing Canada's readiness to fight for its sovereignty, it quickly became a national symbol. It’s reminiscent of the grit seen in Canadian hockey, where players are ready for any challenge. #Canada #Sovereignty #ElbowsUp #Defiance #Hockey

#UK signs agreement to hand #sovereignty of the disputed #ChagosIslands to #Mauritius
#KeirStarmer says he has signed an agreement handing over sovereignty of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius.
The archipelago in the Indian Ocean is home to a strategically important naval & bomber base on the largest of the islands, Diego Garcia.
#Starmer says the agreement secures the future of a base that is “right at the foundation of our safety & security at home.”

Canada Post should be the exclusive delivery service in Canada
(This letter was sent to the Globe and Mail on May 21, 2025) Dear Editor, Re: "Canada Post workers could strike again. If they do, the public will see red" Why would the public blame workers, the people they see every day at their door, when it is clearly the incompetence and intransigence of the employer and their silent backers in Government that have bled Canada Post dry for decades and pinned the blame on employees. The silent direction from Liberal and Conservative governments […]https://chrisalemany.ca/2025/05/21/canada-post-should-be-the-exclusive-delivery-service-in-canada/
I wrote this letter to my representatives to urge them to apply pressure on DHS and the Trump Administration to end their unlawful detention of Kseniia Petrova.
Please consider contacting your representatives too. You may use the contents of my letter for that purpose if it helps.
