We had a visitor in the back yard early this evening. This is a young white-tailed jackrabbit (which is a species of hare, not a true rabbit) probably from this spring's first batch, so he's probably about 3 months old. The proportions are different from an adult. This species is also known as prairie hare or "white jack", or just "jack" hereabouts.
This one was sitting in the long grass and then sat up when I came into view. He wasn't scared, but kept a wary eye on me. Pardon the lousy picture quality; I didn't get out the Big Lens so this is a tiny crop out of the middle of the frame. I have a little video I might post later.
Of course, he immediately started being cute(r), having a bath, after I put the camera away.
Pardon the weeds; it's been too hot and humid to mow lately, and I went chemical-free a few years ago.

Sitcom: without a doubt, "Corner Gas" (CTV). Set in a small prairie town, created by someone from such a town - and immediately recognizable to anyone who's spent any time on the prairies. We felt seen - and it was funny as hell. I think what pushed it above and beyond was the fact that it didn't come out of a committee like pretty much every CBC sitcom since ... leaded gasoline, probably.
There were a bunch of good scifi series that came out of canada over the last twenty years, but I won't go over those in detail. It would be hard to pick just two.

Reconnecting the Wild #Midwest
Explore how #TNC is rebuilding connections between habitats to help #MidwestWildlife—and people—thrive in a changing climate
Published March 02, 2026
"Wildlife needs room to roam, and the Midwest is full of amazing habitats—such as forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers—that aren’t connected, leaving wildlife stuck and struggling. That's why TNC is linking forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers across the Midwest so wildlife can move, adapt and thrive.
"What Is a Wildlife Corridor? Why Are They Important?
"#Habitat Crridors can be interconnected land-based environments, such as #forests and #prairies, as well as #rivers and other freshwater passages that allow aquatic species to move freely. These healthy, #biodiverse areas are beneficial for people too, as they can help reduce flood risk to communities and provide more recreational opportunities in nature.
"However, the Midwest region is highly fragmented. #Habitats are subdivided across different landowners, and many are highly degraded.
"To address this, TNC serves as our own type of corridor, coordinating protection and #stewardship efforts across properties owned by many different partners. Through these collaborations, we help secure funding to connect science with #conservation on the ground and in the water.
"Our work includes large-scale #HabitatRestoration projects that create and improve pathways, like our #CoastalRepair efforts in #SanduskyBay, #DamRemoval efforts in Southern #Indiana and our prescribed fire work in Southern #Illinois."

I'm in the middle of the prairies. Many people out here grumbled about the carbon tax, but it wasn't a huge make-or-break issue. The grumbling was mainly because the carbon tax affected some regions of the country more than others - Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland basically escaped it on their home electricity bills because of hydroelectric power and nuclear power, but out here in It's Winter Seven Months A Year land, it applied to every joule of electricity, every BTU of natural gas we heat with, and more.
Basically, we were paying more of this tax than many other places. So people grumbled, but they paid, and no one outside the oil-company boardrooms was spitting mad about it.
You know what killed the carbon tax? What turned it into a Big Hairy Deal? When the federal government removed the carbon tax from home heating oil in the Maritimes - heating oil, with a worse carbon footprint than anything else short of coal. And when people out here started asking why people in the Maritimes got relief from the tax while we didn't, a cabinet minister said that "Maybe you should elect more Liberals so you have someone to represent you in this government".
Nakedly saying that the Maritimes elected Liberals, so they got relief, while we elected others, and we get nothing.
Justin Trudeau politicized the carbon tax. And *that* is what killed it.
You can't blame it on the west.
