They had a little less than $9 million yesterday. That means they need ~$2.25 million - $4.5 million per year.
So #Trudeau is using the power of the governed to... stand against minority groups whose beliefs that he as prime minister declares unacceptable. But he's only Othering minority groups (as fringe) who together speak to those in power that their overreach is harming the minority group.

I have been mulling this over. Let's raise the stakes.
If Spotify doesn't remove people I neither listen to know know about, they can remove everything of mine from their platform and I'll close my account. Time to stake a stand.

9News has a story about a possible source of the Marshall Fire
Apparently an abandoned coal mine in that area is burning underground. It apparently sparked a small fire in 2005 as well. Still being investigated.

Just saw the moon set over the front range, surprised my cell camera was able to get the moon so well, though it's very zoomed in. #photo

In 2021 I ran my first marathon exactly seven months after breaking my leg. The last five miles were very painful. I'd hate to be in that situation again...
So I'm leaning in. I've registered for my second marathon, four months from now, just finished the first week of training.
