#MountainMonday is here and so is a timely image - the Border Peaks.
Split down the middle of the saddle is the line that forms the #US and #Canadian borders known as the 49th Parallel - the largest unprotected border in the world. With some tension increasing, I hope that everyone continues to remember the things that bring us all together, and not those that divide.
To my fellow #Canadian Mastodonians. I was today years old when I found out that they make a caramilk chocolate bar that has mint in the middle. Normally, each square is infused with delicious caramel goodness. But they've taken that bar and kicked it up a notch with mint. And to think I probably would not have even known it was there if I wasn't picking my own bars off the rack in the checkout line at the grocery store and doing it by field. I was just like, oh yeah. Caramilk! That'll do nicely. Then I bit into it and I was like, fuck yeah! I should've gotten a couple more of these!
‘The political theatre comes in stark contrast to a building meant to celebrate friendship and cooperation.
Opened in 1904, before rules took effect that barred trans-border structures, the library and opera house were gifted by Martha Stewart Haskell, a #Canadian philanthropist, and her son Horace.
The aim was to gift something artistic to citizens of both countries for generations to come.’

From the Thousand Oaks protest last week, mini #Cybertruck flying #Mexican & #Canadian flags.
My #Canadian friends, we must do all we can to keep Pierre Poilievre and his brand of hateful, divisive and unconstructive hubris out of government. He has such contempt and disrespect for Canadians and Canada that he hasn’t even obtained a security clearance. Does anyone actually believe that he *can*? He’s a national security and domestic affairs risk. He’s unfit.
By voting strategically, you can help ensure the CPC candidate loses. Check your riding:
Former #Canadian #primeminister Stephen Harper would argue that #Carney 's role guiding #Canada through the great #recession is not what the Liberals claim in #Election2025
Its a little bit more nuanced. A good read:

To guarantee the business you are dealing with, is absolutely 100% European or Canadian, Asian, or anywhere else outside the jurisdiction of the United States, skim their terms of service, privacy policy, and acceptable user policy.
It purely non-US company, would not care about American Laws, anymore than most people care about the laws of another country (China, for example), that does not apply to them.

Well, last stream was a bust. But I've been working on the issue since on my own time. Lets see if we can figure out how legs!
Starting Now!
#ThrowbackThursday to one of my favorite images taken on a trip to the #Canadian #RockyMountains back in 2021.
I've re-processed it now, after having lost the original edit. Thankfully I still have the RAW file!
It became a favorite mostly because of the setting I shot it in. A quiet moment in a very busy trip that became a moment to relax mentally and enjoy the evening breeze.

The dollar is tanking. Prices are up. Stocks are down. Is America great yet? I’m not seeing it. Gas price went up 12 cents a gallon from yesterday here in the Midwest. Eggs are still high.
But at least there is a tariff on that Canada fentanyl. Gold prices are at record highs. We have that to be thankful for. I feel safer now that those Canadian drug dealers will sell elsewhere. Lol. #fentanyl #America #american #canada #canadian #tariff #inflation #drugs #1stFelon #felon #president
Donald Trump's hysterical tariffs are here... "Liberation Day" will negatively impact global markets! And American citizens themselves will pay these new import taxes. This is total madness!

The #Canadian government is bombarding #voters in key swing states with anti-trade war #propaganda as President Donald #Trump vows to enact his biggest package of #tariffs yet next month.
Multiple #media outlets are reporting that #Canada is paying for billboards and signs across the United States that bluntly inform Americans that "tariffs are a #tax" on items ranging from gasoline to groceries.

The "Buy Canadian" movement is sending new ripples of concern through the executive offices of U.S.-based consumer companies that banked on selling their products on #Canadian retail shelves.
