  1. Many #Canadians I know have long considered certain #USAnians - such as those in #Minnesota, #Michigan Upper Peninsula, maybe #Wisconsin - to be unofficial "honorary Canadians". They share many things with Canada, from climate and geography to some aspects of culture, making them more like us than many other parts of the #USA.

    There are some who are interested in making this arrangement official, with these parts of the USA becoming Canada's 11th province. I'm not sold on the idea at this point, but it's worth talking about.

    I mention this because I would just like to let these potential future Canadians know that should this come to pass, their province will be named South Manitoba. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

  4. Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke
    The door just blew away
    I light a match to see the dash
    And then I start to pray
    The frame is bent, the muffler went
    The radio, it's okay
    Oh, what fun it is to drive
    This rusty Chevrolet

    The U.P. basically has honorary Canadian status anyway, so maybe this isn't so far-fetched.

  10. This is a lousy place for a copper sulfide mine - historically close to the largest body of fresh water in the world, & next to one of the biggest old-growth forests in the country. Please sign the petition at change.org/p/protect-the-porki & read more at protecttheporkies.com/

  11. Guys, this petition is going around to stop a devastating copper sulfide mine, on the pristine shores of Lake Superior, & right next door to one of last last old-growth forests in the country:

  12. #LakeSuperior and the pristine wilderness in #ThePorkies are worth a lot more than whatever short-term economic gains that might be made from the proposed #CopperwoodMine project. If you agree, please sign the petition via the link in bio, or right here: change.org/p/protect-the-porki

  13. Copperwood’s ore grade is only 1.5%, meaning that nearly 99% of mined material will be heavy-metal laden waste rock stored on-site. Toxins of concern include mercury, arsenic, selenium, and lead. The dam would be tilted toward Lake Superior, which represents 10% of the world’s surface freshwater.

  14. The #CopperwoodMine would be about a half mile to the left from this spot on the suspension bridge near the mouth of the Presque Isle River, & would be the closest Copper Sulfide mine to #LakeSuperior in history.

    If you think that this sounds like a bad idea - please sign the petition: change.org/p/protect-the-porki

  18. The proposed mine would reroute Gypsy Creek and be permitted to dump half a million gallons of wastewater per day into Namebinag Creek; both creeks empty directly into Lake Superior.
