For my fellow Canadian’s, please take the time to go out and vote today in our federal elections. I feel strongly that everyone should and hopefully does have their own views, based ideally on reading what the different parties “say” they will do, raither then just on what you have heard on the main media, if you can take a little time to learn, that’s great, but to be honest, if you just “know” which party it is thats yours.. so be it, just get out and vote today!
Sending out a HUGE thank you to all those hardworking folks that will be running the voting booths! Thank you for all you do!
Update: According to the radio this morning, 61% of the allowed voters got out yesterday! so a big thank you for everyone that took the time to get out and voted! There was a few surprises to wake up to this morning in regards to how our new goverment looks, now we see over the next months and years what it will mean for our country.
Just another Day on the Farm 
Thanks on behalf of those of us in the trenches! It was a long day yesterday and the results were crushing, at least for me. I sometimes wonder if the Canada I know and love even exists anymore- certainly the things I value seem to be at odds with a good portion of the voting populace.
Don’t take it to heart, Callie. The only way that Canadians will ever get the government they truly voted for is when we finally get proportional representation.
With my apologies F.G. (answering here because Blogger doesn’t play well with Apple)… Callie, in your “Blessings of May” post you wondered about a burgundy/white “checkered” spring bulb with a drooping tulip-shaped flower? It’s a Fritillaria – Wikipedia says that some types are native to western North America. Their bulbs are highly nutritious and used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
