Disinformation about municipal policy and politics is increasing sharply. I see it literally every day. It's misdirecting people, and making them unhappy, angry, and disconnected from reality. #yyj #disinformation #misinformation

Boldly beautiful, pink #dianthus blooms. These small bright blooms bring multiple bursts of cheerful colours from Summer into Autumn 😊

Fall is super #fuschia season in our front yard 🙂

It's a gorgeous, sunny, #Autumn day on :wsanec: territory ☺️

A sunlit front yard garden bed overflowing with potted plants, including a red Adirondack chair nestled under a large tree with a thick trunk, decorative statues, and a wooden bench, near a residential house.

A tall cosmos plant with vibrant pink flowers emerging from a house exterior. The plant has thin green foliage and rises from the bottom of the frame, extending upwards towards the roof of a building. Two fully bloomed pink cosmos flowers and a bud are visible at the top. The house exterior features rough, pebbled siding, a window with visible decorations inside, and a Palestinian flag is displayed to the right.

I grew this bountiful #GroundCherry plant from seeds collected from last year's #VolunteerPlant. I dug a volunteer ground cherry plant out from a sidewalk crack, last year & transplanted into a pot. That plant provided loads of #fruits. I saved 2 of the largest fruits for sowing this year's plants - gave several seeds away too.

This #cosmos #plant decided it identified as a tree & grew super tall! The rest of our cosmos are much shorter. Mom didn't think it would bloom but I saw several flower buds on it & waited for them to open. Several more buds haven't opened up yet but they should bloom soon 😊

Gas man Jason Kenney, pumping gas like an ass... classic pic of him panicking as he can't get the nozzle out of the car during a photo op. Two hands desperately pulling. Oh, CBC... can we now have the contractor who was caught on camera peeing in a kitchen cup as your go to expert on housing?
