Thanks for posting!
Lol, cute. Thanks Lysie.
oh no! Get better.
All the poison ivy I see is nice and healthy, in fact, growing like a weed. I wish my wanted plants would do so well.
That’s the way it usually goes.
Thanks for another winning breakfast.
Did you plan to plant that many all at once? Or did you just get on a roll and kept going. Thatβs what I tend to do before I realize it Iβve overdone it.
Poison is a horrible way to die.
That squirrel went for quite a ride
Great idea! Maybe we need to come up with a questionnaire.
Canadian Cops Refuse To Enforce Ontario’s New ‘Police State’ COVID-Lockdown Laws
The Ontario government is giving police temporary powers to enforce its stay-at-home order and allowing them to stop individuals and vehicles and ask their reasons for leaving their homes.
Solicitor General Sylvia Jones made the announcement Friday afternoon as part of the new measures introduced by Premier Doug Ford’s government to stop the further spread of COVID-19.
“We have made the deliberate decision to temporarily enhance police officers’ authority for the duration of the stay-at-home order. Moving forward, police will have the authority to require any individual who is not in a place of residence to first provide the purpose for not being at home and provide their home address,” Jones said.
“Police will also have the authority to stop a vehicle to inquire about an individual’s reason for leaving their residence.”
Those who will not comply will be issued a ticket, Jones said. The province has not provided further details on possible fines, but she said under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act, penalties for non-compliance are set at a minimum of $750.
Ontarian police and local authorities are not necessarily enthusiastic about exercising these new powers to detain citizens and examine their motives for daring to leave home:
A spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service said they are reviewing the new orders.
“Prior to any change in our enforcement strategy, we will notify the public on how we plan to implement the new provincial orders,” spokesperson Allison Sparkes said.
Several police services have said Friday that they will not be randomly stopping people. They include Waterloo Regional Police, Peterborough Police, Guelph Police, London Police and Ottawa Police.
It is. Better to shoot it, or trap and relocate. Or like I did, make the skunk a pet!
You had a pet skunk? Did you do something to get rid of the scent? They are beautiful. Especially the babies. At the other house we had a mother living somewhere, and she had three little babies and they were so adorable when they were all out.
Could you be stopped and fined for going to the farm, Judy?
This is all so insane!
Our 9 year old granddaughter who lives in Vancouver has been quarantined in her bedroom for 2 weeks.
Can’t imagine this working out.
Her best friend at school has been diagnosed with COVID.
I was on a roll and I was tired of seeing plants sitting around and waiting. For example, I have had those boxwoods since November. Dad was getting rid of them, I wanted more boxwoods, and so they’ve been in buckets of water all winter keeping the roots wet. But, that breeds mosquitos and so they needed to be planted.
The way I feel about squirrels - he deserved every bit of it and more.
Yes, when I was a teen. Me and a friend were riding my horse and found a baby skunk with no mom in sight. We got sprayed good, lol, took bath with tomato juice and disposed of clothes. Took him to vey and had his bags squeezed. They’re cute and funny. Like a ferret.
