  • Our entire yard is a garden.

    1/4 acre of fruit and nut trees, berry bushes, local flowers, shrubs, grasses, a lot of vegetables, a greenhouse, chickens, a small swamp. It’s gone from a grey clay death zone to a deep beautiful rich soil and an area that is teeming with life and food for all the life it supports. It is regenerative and balanced. To offset our agriculture practices we keep 250 acres of old growth forest under our care and protection. Permaculture, Korean natural farming, modern and traditional farming and environmental knowledge all play a part in what we have accomplished.

    It wasn’t easy to get here. We aren’t rich and we never will be. Just know it is possible. Before we lived in our little paradise we converted a regular city lot to the same type of setup.

















  • I agree and yet it is more than what my country is doing unfortunately. We have a rapist felon in Drumphkins, a proven government backer of murderers on Canadian soil in Modi, Meloni and her ultra fascism amongst others here for a visit. Our government and private institutions also support the genocide happening to the Palestinians. Numerous journalists and professors have been fired for what they’ve said or written. Regular citizens as well. A highschool graduate valedictorian in Ottawa was just told by her highschool not to come back to school for the rest of the year for simply recognising the genocide in Palestine at the end of her graduation speech this past weekend. It wasn’t even the main topic of her speech but a byline at the end.

    We also have a PM that wants to pass laws that put us further into the class war and war on immigrants and minorities that we currently wage even though we thought a few short months ago we were voting against such action. They’re all invited and gathered together surrounded by the highest security in the world to discuss all our futures at the G7. They are in a place where they can easily avoid protests or even seeing them and there is no interaction with any of the people they actually represent because they seem terrified someone will hurt or kill them. I wonder why…

    Every little bit of resistance, anywhere, is good and should be praised.
