As a Canadian in #Alberta, this video about #NewZealand and #Australia hits home in terms of different parts/provinces of #Canada with equalization, in the context of being so dependent and integrated with the US, but also with progressive personal taxation.

I am in favour of #equalization. Here I find hearing about it in terms of a remote situation where I have no preference puts it in a more stark and compelling perspective.

Finalist – threatened species: Standing Watch

‘Huddled together for warmth on a cold morning, these juvenile numbats (affectionately known as numbubs) survey their surroundings for any potential threats. With introduced species such as the feral cat and European red fox to contend with, their formative years are spent learning to blend in with their woodland surroundings, always alert to danger.’ Wiilman country, Dryandra, Western #Australia.

'Canopy' (2025)

Another Tassie Myrtle pic because why not - I honestly couldn’t get enough of these trees shooting out of the surrounding landscape with their gnarly moss-covered branches

This was taken in the morning as the sun rose & cut through the fog that had blanketed the area the night before
