This pic was taken last week. My first attempt at veggie growing. The patch is slightly raised, open to ground. All the plants you see were started indoor from seeds (except for carrots, peas and beans).

They are: Carrots (didn't thin, my bad). I don't know if I would get anything out of them. I planted them in beginning of may. I'm planning to replant in late August. Front section: Cucumber & zucchini on the right. Bell peppers on the left. Peas and beans in middle row. Back section: Kale and tomatoes. More zucchini towards the back. One row of lettuce behind tomatoes.

The only thing that didn't work for me is spinach. They germinated and then stalled and died after they grew 2 - 4 true leaves.

Oh yes, if you're wondering: I bought my seeds from Oh Canada seeds (https://ohcanadaseeds.ca/). I bought their 10 container veggies pack because I'm beginner.

I agree with you. Conservatives purposely being vague all the time so they can deny their words later. They are purposely being vague so their base can then "fill in the blanks" with whatever spin they wish.

Taco/fElon are Russia's friends/assets. They and their gop/maga supporters need to be kicked out of the usa government. Hopefully then, usa will return to Ukraine's side.

An e-petition will require 5 citizens/residents and an MP to be created. Once it is approved the petition can start collecting signatures. A minimum of 500 signatures is required to have the petition presented to the House of Commons.

The process is depicted here: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/Documents/poster-e.pdf

Perhaps organization such as Fair Vote Canada can draft the petition and find an MP who will be willing to sponsor it (most likely a Liberal, Green or NDP MP). I will be willing to put my name forward if Fair Vote Canada can't find 5 citizens to start the petition (but I am sure they can).

Just a thought.

Keywords: Electoral candidates and nomination. Foreign influence. Security check.

TLDR: I have always believed that our prime minister candidates should complete their security clearance to ensure they are not under foreign influences. This petition sponsored by Robert Morrissey will be a good start. I implore all Canadians to show their support to protect our democracy from foreign influences. Thank you.

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled

Whereas:

National security is a fundamental concern for all Canadians, and public confidence in the integrity of political leaders is essential to a functioning democracy;

Recent events have raised legitimate concerns about foreign influence and potential security risks within Canadian political parties, requiring urgent and proactive safeguards;

Transparency and accountability in assessing political candidates and party leaders are crucial to ensuring that those who seek to govern are acting in the best interests of Canada and its people;

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to1. Direct appropriate national security and intelligence agencies to conduct a comprehensive review of potential security risks associated with political leadership in Canada, ensuring all candidates for party leadership and high office undergo security vetting;2. Develop and implement mechanisms to enhance transparency in the vetting process of political candidates, increasing public confidence while maintaining legal and privacy protections;3. Strengthen national safeguards against foreign interference in Canadian democratic institutions and commit to ensuring that all elected officials meet the highest standards of integrity, accountability, and national loyalty.

If you have older relatives and friends (50+), do remind them that we have shingles vaccine: Shingrix.

My riding is a conservative stronghold, but I'm still going to vote for my local Liberal candidate. As soon as Election Canada received my local Liberal candidate's nomination application, I'm planning to scrape together some funds and donate to them.

I am a P. Eng. in Ontario, Canada. It's "Professional Engineer" license. As someone else has mentioned, you can be a mechanical engineer, a software engineer, an electrical engineer etc and a P. Eng. The requirement for P. Eng is passing an Engineering Ethics exam, receiving an engineering degree from accepted universities/college (doesn't have to be a Canadian school) and completing an certain number of years of Canadian engineering work experience (ie. the work must be qualified as engineering type work, and must be in Canada). Now, I received my P. Eng more than a decade ago so the rules may or may not change.

Professional Engineers of Ontario (PEO) is our organization which regulates the exams and licensing. It is also a sort of watch dog which ensures that engineers are ethical and don't cut corners. PEO also provides networking (they may organize a plant tour or conferences etc) and volunteering activities for engineers. We, engineers, pay annual fees/dues to PEO but if you work for an engineering company, your company may pay your dues for you.

I have a question for you, do you actually need REAL ID to travel domestically?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago

This. I personally have no plan going to usa now and in the future. Unfortunately some Canadians may still have to go for work related trips. Just be aware that you may or may not need to register in the new "Alien Registration Requirement".

My checked luggage used to be searched when I went to usa. I knew it was searched because tsa would leave a pamphlet inside my luggage saying that it was searched. I believe they have stopped leaving such pamphlet but I won't be surprised if they still search luggages.

Thinking of what else someone like me (an older person) could do in order to prepare myself to support Ontario in emergencies. I came across Ontario Corps. Posting it here just in case it is something that interests you.

I too live in a very conservative area but I will still be voting and I will be voting Liberal. Voting is my right and responsibility as a citizen and I intend to exercise my right regardless of what others do.

I was researching Ontario's manufacturers and came across this list: https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-information.manufacturing.ca.ontario.html I'm going to do more research on individual companies listed, but I thought some of you may be interested as well.

First time posting here so I apologize in advance if I did something wrong.

Also PP, when are you going to complete your security clearance? What are you hiding?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

I agree with you. Conservative bias in mainstream media is apparent to all except the willfully blind. Especially Financial Post. I stopped reading their garbage more than a decade ago. And I'm not touching Toronto Sun with anything.
