"Native species of butterflies and moths really do need native species of plants in order to survive. What we're hoping to get people thinking about more is … the actual geographic origin of the tree we're planting in our cities," Tseng says. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... 🧪🌎🦋🌲

Stranded overnight in Toronto. Going on over 30 hours of travel. Getting from Western Canada to anywhere and back again is a JOURNEY, Air Canada never fails to disappoint, and Pearson is purgatory!

Why do all bars have to have a big tv showing sports and how is there always a sporting event happening for them to show, regardless of the hour, who decided all of this? Why can’t ONE bar show like episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer instead

Based on all we can tell, Covid cases are going straight up in Germany right now. At the same time, a friend of mine has been hit with severe long Covid after their second infection. Stay safe, mask up, keep track of your vaccinations

I had to wake up at 3:30 am Saskatoon time Wednesday for my Toronto flight, then had one hour of sleep on the red eye to Stockholm. First stop when I got into the city this morning was the Vasa Museum (on @stephenbheard.bsky.social’s “wreck”-ommendation) - SO. COOL.
