We got three tomato plants from the Chicago Tomato Man this year. Really excited to see if we actually have green thumbs.

A genuine question for friends in #Canada - I understand the concept of Western Alienation in #Alberta. This can be partially explained because in a system of proportional representation, Quebec, Ontario, and BC are going to have more seats without gerrymandering.

Beyond succession what is the proposed solution of those who say AB needs more “representation” - a US style senate with equal representation? More seats beyond their population?

I always remember the fact that at the start of British rule in India, the Indian subcontinent had about 25% of the world’s GDP and by the time they left, it was about 4%.

@leavt Just need to be sipping a Tim Horton's Double-Double and you're all set!

@kristiedegaris And in one post, you capture the conversational dynamic of the entire internet 😂

I am deeply saddened by Pope Francis' passing. Reading his environmental encyclical "Laudato Si'" was a life-changing experience for me. It lays out in clear, uncompromising prose the combined socio-ecological crises we all face. It is a document for everyone - Christian and non-Christian alike. Worth a read if you have never picked it up (link below).

Rest in peace, Papa Francisco 🙏

Trying all the hot cross buns in the city? Sound like a Lenten pilgrimage of sorts. I actually had my first one a few weekends ago at a local bakery that just opened near me. So good!

@reverendref

I think ours had lower attendance too. Or at least the foot washing was much quicker than in past years.

Hope the rest of the Triduum goes smoothly for you all :)

@ossobuffo

Wonderful! I am on my way home from Maundy Thursday at my church. It is my favorite service of the whole year.

I hope you have a blessed Easter - and some good sausages!

It has been a while since I've made a post for myself. Family is well and happy but life's been a bit busy and I've been feeling a little disconnected from things around me.

Just felt like saying hello into the void - how have things been going for you all? Anything making you particularly happy?

Hope all is well!

@egalandbooks There is a fine line from the opening number in "Matilda the Musical" by Tim Minchin:

[FATHER]
Have you seen his school report?
He got a 'C' on his report!

[MOTHER]
What?!

[FATHER]
We'll have to change his school
His teacher's clearly falling short

@LifeTimeCooking

LOVE Gujarati food - the best thali I ever had was in Ahmedabad on a work trip. Thanks for the reminder ❤️

@agnes

Mutual Tariff Penguins is a great name of a band.

Eid Mubarak Sabrina! :)

@rotsinn @jackmjenkins

You know how to have a good time, my friend 😂

@atomicker

Quick question - is Carney's French THAT bad? I have watched two of his press conferences and thought it was pretty good. I know French but I am a bit rusty.
